I nearly got run over last night by some idiot, he was so busy talking to someone on his none handsfree mobile and looking out the window that he completely failed to notice the red light at the pedestrain crossing, or me halfway across it.
I'd imagine that it would be an expensive business in licensing and more importantly retraining to switch to 2k7 - my predecessor had it installed on my comp when I started here and it drove me nuts for the few days it took IT to come round and ghost the machine.
I think there's a little more to it this time, the publishers are having to make their games multi platform anyway - the days of just releasing for one console and to hell with the rest are gone (at least this generation) - it's not that much of a stretch to port to OSX in addition to PS3/360/Windows.
I'm in the process of getting hired for a finance job, they aren't asking for my fingerprints but they do want to see my passport and have details of the last few years of residences to run through a credit check agency. Primarily they are seeing whether I have a criminal record (no) or have been bankrupt (no).

I have read that because of the distance between North America and England, and the fact that English came over to America a long time ago and before some pretty drastic changes occurred to the language in England, that American English is in many ways closer to the classic English of the Shakespearean area than is modern British English. I've read that Australian English is actually closer, but who knows. It would make more sense considering that the migration to the US was from a number of European countries, but that to Australia (tho' later) was predominantely British
At our bigname hosting company the majority of Linux boxes ran RHEL apart from a few Debian machines. Anything testbed / non customer focussed was running CentOS because for all intents and purposes they are identical.
I had a 1mb 286 when wing commander was released, and bought a sound blaster especially to hear the music and speech in it. Of course you had to spend hours fscking around with EMS/XMS to get that working.
My desk is messy, but it is a cache of recently used and needed stuff. I always work like that, I print a lot of shit off and sit on the Loo or outside having a smoke with the papers and a pencil. Every now and again I trash 90% of the crap that hasnt been looked at in a while.
It's a sales and marketing tool. I dont see the benefit for them to teach their salesforce how to deal with the minority of lunatic geeks that will stab them in the neck with a propelling pencil.

Netscape is still around, admittedly under different names.
The browser is now Firefox.
The server is now Sun ONE.
Say it isn't so!
Isn't it part of the INSTALL doc to run it in a VM/Jail/Chroot?
basically:
small, silent, powerful.

Or perhaps you could read the linked article. Oh wait this is Slashdot, nevermind.

I agree, i'll go as far as saying Wine is better for gaming than Cedega.
I tried to run 3 games under Cedega and Wine, all ones listed as supported titles in Cedega.
World of Warcraft. Crashed at character load under Cedega, flawless under Wine.
Guild Wars. Wouldn't load under Cedega, playable but slow under Wine.
Half Life 2. Wouldn't load under Cedega, some issues with Steam under Wine but playable.
Yahoo! has IMAP interfaces for its mail, i've had an account for 5 years or so and only ever use the web interface when i'm on the road.

well done, '86 was 21 years ago. back in his day != back in his diapers.

everyone knows that stuff goes in a pile underneath the coffee table.
I'm also surprised that I was modded funny. Maybe someone has had too many bongs today and liked my name.
Quinine is not expensive.
Sorry to hear you wasted a bunch of cash on a dead format.
Should have listened to us over a year ago about the viability of BluRay/HDDVD/Laserdisc. Live and learn.
