It's from Dark Age of Camelot. Why did someone try to pretend it was from WoW? I dunno. Probably because WoW is the Google of MMORPGS right now, and is therefore the one to pick on. Not that I'm necessarily saying WoW players can't get that high-strung, just that people with a bone to pick against a culture aren't going to be terribly rigourous with their arguments against it.
Well, Apple also has a module for Apache that hooks into Bonjour to announce itself. Safari can then use Bonjour to see all local webservers. This give IE the same capability
AnandTech and Tom's Hardware are so AMD-biased, I don't even bother reading them any more, especialy when it's related to the latest AMD or Intel chips.
Man, Tom's Hardware is the site that did the comparison of intel and amd cpus playing quake3, while the heatsink was removed. The point being that the pentium3 froze, the athlons caught fire, and the pentium 4 kept going (though slower). People called them intel-biased then. More likely, they call it like it is. Amds did have serious heat problems, and now intels have serious performance problems.
i feel your pain, i've got a 1.4ghz P3. However, given that an athlon can run it, doom3 can hardly rely on the instructions that exist in the p4 but not the p3, or so i'm hoping. This seems rather like manager-speak for "you need a processor *this* fast." Of course, i'll be downloading this one before i buy, just to be sure, and feeling entirely justified about doing it, since Carmack or anyone knowledgeable hasn't commented on the matter.
Oh, and in reponse to the poser who thinks vanilla p3s can't be run in a dual-proc configuration, the dual p3-866 in my closet begs to differ.
umm...the size of the cpu has absolutely nothing to do with the size of the board. Do you really think the ram controller, ata controller, etc, etc are all going to shrink too, along with all the wires connecting them?
It would be damned hard to prove libel in the US. But what about the UK. If I recall correctly, the libel laws in the UK are such that the burden of proof is on the defendent. If SCO has a business prescence in the UK, and someone were to sue them there, they'd be forced to either accept a guilty verdict, or make their "proof" public. win-win for the linux community
Actually, we can't see anything that approaches us from the direction of the sun. That's why you hear about asteroids that miss us, but aren't seen till after the fact. Once the asteroid passes our orbit, we don't have to deal with the incredibly bright sun overpowering our optics
In regards to your first point, I'd like to say that if AMD did this, they'd be pretty much shooting themselves in the foot, because, while an AMD chip beats an Intel chip clock-for-clock (with a fair cost in heat efficiency), it is peanuts compared to what a G4 does to any x86 chip. The moment consumers realize that megahertz are about as meaningless a measure of processor performance as you can get is the moment Apple gets a decent marketshare.
OK, some corrections. First, this is just the west coast regional competition, there are in fact 13 regionals. There is also a national competition in Orlando. Second, and far more important, this is NOT BATTLEBOTS. The goal of this competition is not to destroy your opponents, its to build a robot that can cooperate effectivly with teammates to perform a specied goal
Well, Pentium 4s require RDRAM, but no one in their right mind would use a P4 in a server. P3s on the other hand, use PC133 SDRAM, same as Athlons.
Also, I notice you didn't respond at all to the point that Althons need more power (about twice as much as an equivalent pentuim, I think). That in itself is a reason not to use them, especially if your server farm is in california
Intellectual property, in the form of copyright, is protected for a mere 18 years under the constitution. So under the principles theis nation was founded under, I should be able to download all of the Simon and Garfunkel I listen to from Napster, quite legally. Instead, corporate interests have greatly increased the length of time a copyright lasts
The funny thing is that only three years ago they changed from Pascal to C++. I feel really sorry for all the Computer Science who will have to once again change their curriculums to reflect the new test, and convince administrators to spend the money for new IDEs and compilers.

You think that's mean? I have 600kbps downstream and 33.6 up. Its really funny when people see a user with a cable modem and try to grab my stuff.
Yeah, and Bush last week, preparing to win the popular but lose the electoral vote, was planning to call on electors to "vote the will of the nation." Funny how that works.
OS embedding to gain performance
If it increases performance, what's the problem? You can still install Netscape if you feel like it.

Well, you see, a gun is made to kill/break/hurt something. Maybe a person, maybe a tasty animal, maybe a target, but something.
A car is made to get people and goods from point A to point B, and usually manages not to kill them at point C between A and B. A gun is made to move a bullet from point A to B, and kill whatever happens to be at B. (Your point about surviving a bullet means nothing. The gun is supposed to kill things, and shooting but not killing someone is still not good).
Maybe gun owners are largely responsible. Still, you don't want to piss one off, because they when they flip out, they can really flip out.
Anyway, you can't compare gun control to hacking control, or anything else, because a gun is a weapon, designed to hurt something, and other things cause damages as a side effect.
(Sorry, guns do not have a side effect of reducing crime, nor of holding back government oversteps)

Well, third parties like other people using VoIP softare might want "to communicate with your computer", and you probably want them to.
well, that's really more a side effect of upping the hard drive from 10 to 15 gigs...
Port Halo to GC and then we'll talk.
Hey, Halo was originally announced at a MacWorld. You think you're bitter? =)

I believe the article implies that the machine went multiuser on a multiprocessor machine.

now all we need to do is integrate AAlib so we can have crossplatform ascii graphics!
As far as I know, staroffice is not available on a PPC platform, only x86 and sparc. The author specifically said he wanted it to work on MacOS
