Why not just build your own stand-alone mame machine that charges you $0 each time you play?
Sure, and while we're at it, let's download MP3s instead of paying for them.;-)
I think perhaps a subscription-based service would be nicer, or better yet the choice: the people who don't play as often won't be charged as much, and the fiends who would play every game every day (....myself O:-) can pay a nice flat rate.
A ballistic re-entry followed, with a peak of 9.6 G's. No parachute was required. The terminal velocity of the Paracone was 42 km/hour and impact was absorbed by the crushable structure of the cap of the cone.
Basically, you jump from orbit and your rocket-powered chair breaks your fall. I'd rather have the 'chute and be covered in foam crap, thanks...
Honestly, anyone so remakably stupid as to not see the blatant libel strewn about in such journalism deserves what they get for believing it.
Personally, after reading such quotes, I'm glad the man has met with what he describes as "foul-mouthed terrorist Linux hackers", and I hope he is surrounded by such umpleasantness until the end of his days.:-D
What exactly does the Linux community do that is considered "terrorism", anyways?
Sadly, these are the same people who bitch that their computer keeps breaking, when they have no idea how to use it. "But BanziBuddy is so cool!" *sigh*
It's all about control. If people can only buy the 1 song they like then that's all they'll buy. I bet the math works out more in their favor as far as the ratio of people who won't buy a shitty album for one song to the people who will buy the whole album for just the one good song.
Greedy fucks. I'd like to see an artist (a good one, mind you) stand up against this kind of shit and refuse to let their ALBUM be sold on iTMS, instead insisting that all their songs be sold individually.
But the problem can be solved in one fell swoop: Attention Whores of the Music Industry: STOP PRODUCING ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT AND PEOPLE WOULD GLADLY BUY A WHOLE ALBUM! IF WE WANTED A DISC WITH PURE SHIT ON IT, WE'D THROW AN AOL CD IN THE TOILET, THANKS.
If it ran Windows, they would just love to make fun of it.
I, for one, would be all in favor of a Windows-powered robotic toilet. If it has crap in the bowl, it might as well have crap in RAM and on disk, too. *rimshot*
Their scheme for OS X is the equivalent of Microsoft charging $100+ for a service pack, I just don't understand it.
Apple regularly issues Security Updates, Bug Fixes, and Mac OS X Updatres through the Software Update system. This, the equivilant of a Service Pack, is free.
The major OS version updates are when new features are added, etc. That is the equivelant of upgrading 98 to XP. The cost of buying a Mac is high. The cost of maint. is probably less than a Windows box.
I'm typing this to you on an 8600/250 I bought to use as my home machine when it was first out. It came with System 7.6 discs. How's that for system longevity?:-D
No, honestly, MP was refering to the actual Hormel SPAM product, not using the SPAM name for something other than SPAM. On top of that, it was (technically) a work of parody.
Parroty? Pining for the fjords? What kind of talk is that? This parrot wouldn't move if you put 50,000 volts through it!
So once a program has an extablished base we should just let it have a monopoly? I thought Open Source was about choice.
Writing an SMTP server isn't easy - ask Sendmail.
Yes, with all the bugs/problems that Sendmail has had, why wouldn't you give Citadel/UX a try? Not that sendmail isn't good about fixing them, but how do you know this new approach isn't simply better from the ground up?
Perhaps you could review the code, or set up a test machine somewhere which isn't doing anything important (besides testing)? Open Source requires involvement or it ceases to be "open".
When you go to the CN Tower in Toronto, they have these special gates that sniff for bombs when you walk through them. You stand there and they puff air at you from all different directions. Makes me wonder why more airports don't have it, if they're so worried about terrorists.
My mom said, "No, I want a computer that just works. Like that Windows 2000 one we already have."
Funny, my Mac just works. In all fairness though, I see your mom's point, Windows 2000 is very stable indeed, probably the most stable version of Windows, IMHO.
Yea, Apple probably tilted in their favor. Or maybe the testing company did because they didn't want to give Apple bad SPEC results for thier big summer show.
Then again, don't you think Intel does this to AMD? Vice versa? Wern't there just a whole large string of stories about graphics card manufacturers using special optimization benchmarks for their GPU comparison tests? This is nothing new.
SPEC tests are only as unbiased as the people who run them.

Agreed. Now, let's just hope Adobe doesnt' drop Photoshop.

OSes should start comming with narrated Flash animations explaining the basic concepts.

Thanks alot, you've been great! *exits*

Think of the possibilities the research from this will bring? Still, a damn shame we gotta make a weapon for it to get done. *sigh*

Computer may stop responding for up to one hour durring startup
...oh...of all the things I thought would turn out to be a "feature"...
Having their trademarked name in alternating caps doesn't speak volumes about piracy intent, now does it?
