So, for all you poor souls who lined up to give money to the borg: does it work? Any blue-screens yet?
Can we be more dramatic??
A bit biased?
How about you give the world a day or two with it before we start condemning it, k?
And don't give me that "It crashed in the demos", cause when I worked for a software store when the DC came out, it crashed plenty (and the local stores didn't have any problems).
I'm going to give MS a fair chance, like a good un-biased person:-P
Some movies should have limits. Like "Goodfellas" should not be able to go to a PG13 rating, it should stay 'R'. Cause, quite honestly, you wouldn't have a clue what the story was if they bleeped all the words out!
Come'ere you mutha*censored**censored**censored**censored*!! I'll bust your *censored**censored**censored**censored**censored* *censored*!!! *censored*!!
Please check here (or just go to my journal page). I wrote this article (after it being rejected by slashdot) on monday in my journal. How about a little credit, tim?
Mods - this isn't off topic. Its quite on topic (check the link before you mod).
I'm move concerned about reviews of the games (especially Metriod & Luigi's Castle) from new buyers than the system itself. First hand accounts are my deciding factors on buying a new console.
Heh... taliban gov't is already gone...

...United States will ultimately destroy the Taliban government.
Last article states(Last of two parts) as the first three words.
And how is this article not the same as the past two? I'm not seeing any new info (nor proof or links for that matter) that I have already read in the past two...
Read this.
Tell you what, I'll just sum up for you.
"Kuro5hin's emphasis has changed since we first started working together. It is no longer as focused on Linux, Open Source, and Internet tools as it was a year ago. Kuro5hin is still great, but it is no longer a good "fit" with other OSDN Web sites," says OSDN Editor-in-Chief Robin "roblimo" Miller. (note: OSDN is part of VA Software)
Robin goes on to say that OSDN is "returning to our roots, you might say, concentrating more than ever on Linux and Open Source. We recognize that SourceForge.net, especially, has become a vital resource for the Open Source community, and that we have a responsibility to make sure it survives." Robin says that "VA's corporate focus is almost entirely on SourceForge these days."
Yeah, (VA owned) OSDN doesn't do anything about open source. They are all just proprietary.
FYI - This article was posted *after* VA Linux switched to VA Software.
Trying not to troll (but if you mod me down, it's ok, cause I got lotsa karma).
Honestly, chrisd, is this front/. material?
Looking at the original article, which had very few comments, and now looking at the comments here (at the time of writing *all* -1 trolls), it should show that this isn't something that should appear on the front page.
I know it may be a slow news day, but there's always good techno-bits of news out there...
I agree, but that is the problem with most Open Source advocates. In -practice-, the open source model doesn't generate enough profit. However, a few tweaks (which VA is trying), may end up a better model in the long run. VA is trying to show the Open Source community how to be successful in the economy. RMS might not be 100% behind it, but this is how it has to be.
I kinda like the new model, where it is free for the community, but costs money if you use the version for large companies (which are more likely to pay than the average user). I think it may be successful. Proving this model to zealots will be a problem, though;-)
Computer Science/Engineering degree, with interning or Cooping is the easiest way. If you already have the degree, it might be trickier (no one really wants to hire a Unix admin without experience). You'd probably have to start out as someone like a coder and slip into the position if one would open up...
Lemmie get this straight:
If Microsoft opensourced *all* its software but still made money, you wouldn't take it, right?
A bit zealotous, aren't we?
Honestly, if Halo ends up being a great game and the box doesn't crash all the time (dreamcast boxes crashed all the time in the demo's also, FYI. I own a dreamcast and it has yet to crash on me), I'm buying an XBox with Halo.
Why not wait until it comes on PC? Well, some games play better on console (especially sports games).
I hate how it doesn't matter what the "evil corporation" does, we just should smite it theory can make sense with intelligent people.
Grow up.
They used this effect all over the game (just look directly at the sun, then move away slightly). Its not like its rocket science. Remember, these guys know -exactly- what hardware the system will use, and are able to use every bit of hardware to its full effect. It may not make it to the PC cut, but only time will tell.
Broadband was almost like a "trend". Average people that browse the web maybe 1 hour a week and get their email everyday do not need their broadband; and, due to economic times, they'd rather go for a cheap alternative.
People that napster all day, play games all the time, are online a lot for something other than browsing and chatting will keep their broadband.
Its a sign of a trend, or of the economic times...
Not to start a flame war (this is just my opinion), but in the war of vi vs. emacs, I'm all for emacs. I used emacs while learning C++, and have a great respect for it (although I'm more of an xemacs user).
I remember toying with the idea of learning lisp just to edit emacs to make just a "code editor" and kill all the calender/email/other stuff it has in it (I'm still waiting for the "emacs linux distro", where you login, and are brought to an emacs window that has its own os running. After all it is the only way to increase emacs' bloat;-) )
Now the next question is, which to learn: Scheme or Lisp? Isn't scheme a newer language? Is it better?
The amount musicians make vs. what the recording industry makes are two completely different numbers. If you were a true musician, you'd understand this.
Ignorant musicians (read: Metallica) think they'd get less money if the recording industry lost a couple million (which is crap, cause the recording industry is still making a killing).
Yeah, I bit on the troll, but I didn't want it modd'ed up more.
Slashdot Mirror
"Networking" can be achieved by hooking up multiple xboxs together, and they are going to have internet adapters by summer 2k2 (same page).
So, for all you poor souls who lined up to give money to the borg: does it work? Any blue-screens yet?

Already done. Happened this morning.

I'm stuck in the coach section of a DC-9.

I don't mean 'barely survive the flight from NWK to LAX'
What's up with the obsession with airplanes? Don't you know that they don't allow you to use laptops on flights?

Why not just update the article hemos?

I don't think you're in need of more karma

I agree, this is the third article about the *same thing*.
I don't mind the first, but if you want to report the article, make it a slashback on saturday as a "reminder to look in the sky tonight".
What type of drugs/alcohol were you high on when you created the character and premise of the tick? ;-)
Also, is the tick more of a boxer, brief, or boxer-brief man?

Yeah, before Microsoft bought Bungie. Surprised, now?
Go play The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Remember, these guys know -exactly- what hardware the system will use, and are able to use every bit of hardware to its full effect. It may not make it to the PC cut, but only time will tell.
I'm not buying either a cube or box until I see a good comparison of Metroid vs. Halo.
Then I'll make a decision...

Now the next question is, which to learn: Scheme or Lisp? Isn't scheme a newer language? Is it better?
Anyone have any good docs/books they used to learn lisp/scheme quickly and easily (more than just an amazon/google search)?
Doesn't Lisp have a foundation in AI? Or is that Prolog? Doesn't Lisp somehow have a relationship to prolog?
The one you keep rejecting. Search in there, and you'll find it.
The one about VA selling proprietary software (see journal for details).
How about the authors explain it instead of just letting it go on as a troll?
Yeah, it covers slashdot subscription and super-plugging thinkgeek.
I think we, your customers, deserve answers from the source, not news from a 3rd party.
Well, here goes 3 karma...
