In other countries there are extremist parties that will commit to all kinds of nasty shit but dont stand a snowballs chance in hell of getting elected.
I woulda cared about it if theyd released it 2 months ago, as it is i played through it on the windows partition i maintain for games and uninstalled it. Well strictly speaking, I uninstalled it halfway through when I found it was boring.
Yeah he wrote for Edge for a year or two, always came across as a poor Redeye with teletext graphics but hey.
For those that dont know, Edge was/is a wierd hybrid of gdmag, cgw and wallpaper. It never really made up its mind whether to be a magazine about consumer gaming, working in the industry or a place to spooge about font design. Out of anything, its probably closest to Famitsu.
I don't disagree. But if you were my Admin and you got killed tommorow what would I do?
Most likely hope I found someonee that understood computers well enough to recover the data and get the company back up and running.
The point i'm trying to make is as an employee of company X, your absolute and only priority when making these decisions is to make the business work better.
There are really two core motivators in this. The first is Better, Cheaper, Stronger, Faster. The other is continuity tommorow when I am dead. Linux at the moment addresses #1, but fails wilfully at #2.
Until we have the situation where Linux is a solid choice even when the pro Linux admin leaves then it is a bad choice.
If you ever have the time and inclination, truss half life. The OGL calls are basically wrappered DX calls.
Also while you have this time do a diff on HL source vs Quake source. Report back when you find anything other than iD software copyright headers matching.
There are similarities in the file structures and bsp format, primarily because iD BSP allows you to make a game without rewriting editing tools and BSP is a fairly simple format that is well suited for indoor games. The internals of Half Life beyond those simple comparisons are very different to iD's code.
You have a responsibility to them to make sensible decisions based on economic reality and ensure that their business will continue. That is what they employ you for.
You can use Debian or Flying Monkeys, but you better be damn sure that if you are killed in a road accident that your choice is something the next guy along can understand and allow the company to continue with.
If you aren't 110% sure they will be able to pick up the pieces then you are being irresponsible and betraying the trust they have in you.
I use Linux as my only OS. I like to play games on my computer. Winex allows me to play games in Linux on my computer. Mr Nobody that has some rant site about stuff he is morally opposed to should basically go fuck himself.
Excuse me? Why is this flagged as troll? I'm interested in the subject and wanted to contribute to the discussion when I saw it posted on the front page. How does it become troll like behaviour to post about a legitimate bug when it occurs?
If your gonna post some article that is interesting to some people, then dont patronise us with nothing to see move along when your databse and scripting dont work out 100%.
I'm not about to get embroiled in legal technicalities, just drawing some parallels.
Say for some reason, whatever it was, some country launched an invasion on the US. Now, there are many people over there that own guns, and I beleive under your own laws have a right to have them, and a right to defend themselves and their property.
Now the invading force would be quite within it's rights to put those that chose to defend themselves, their property and their country into concrete blocks and dump them into the Gulf of Mexico?
That behaviour may technically be legal, although you will find many many people that would argue against that interpretation of International law.
Mine were granted to be at the bargain basement price of £50 or so. They are probably worth £25-£50k at the moment, but as there's noone to sell them to...
Probably not that many, at least in cash terms - plenty will be paper millionaires. Most employee share option schemes have clauses that prevent cashing in on IPO/Acquisition.
Last place I had shares in prevented us from cashing them in until after 6 months had passed. Course there still hasn't been an exit event, so I still have a batch of worthless (for now) options sitting in a filing cabinet somewhere.
It gets set by a mixture of valuation of tangible and intangible assets, potential growth and forward earnings projections. Well that, and how much people are willing to pay.

The Real stream on Nasa's website worked fine for me.

lazy bastards should just play ping pong or so.
why would he? ms and apples operations in the uk are primarily sales operations.
and another operating system using a different way to control access to devices is inherently wrong?
They do have the ability. Check with your local Firewall administrator.
The ability to block removable storage at the corprate policy level is welcome.
Hehe. I got moderated +funny hehehe. You didnt. heheheh. Dillweed. You suck. Hehehe.

Thats pretty much all that can save it. Marina Sirtis should get naked and service Brent Spiner.

It cant have been that good, he aged 3 years in 2 days.

Halflife was completely reengineered. There wasn't a whole lot of Quake, or more to the point OpenGL in it.

That behaviour is certainly immoral.

Share price is irrelevent, it's the number of shares that exist (either on the market, or held internally) that determine overall value.
(roughly anyway, i'm sure it's more complex than that).
Is still around 10000000 times better than no firewall.
no, but it completely fucked the lying bastard he was interviewing.
