Hmmmm......did you know a synonym for nerd is bookwork. Nerd just isn't ALL about computers. For those of us who did enjoyed the series. I guess this just means getting to see a series, or movies based upon it, will now be many MANY years before it actually happpens, if ever.
When this woman falls asleep behind the wheel, for no apparent reason, they'll string her up for being careless. Because it will have to be her fault right!.......WTF is going the be the result of this "stimulation of the brain"?
Maybe it's because they all eventually crap out before the warranty does (or at least a very high percentage). Not just this vendor (BFG) but all of them. nVidia's chips may hold up, sometimes, but the fans fail and once the chip overheats....its toast. This problem even applies to ATI/AMD cards. Not to mention the power supply requirements of the higher end cards and it all adds up to more and more people being satisfied by 'acceptable' performance versus those who want to see insanely high frame rates. Vendors (such as BFG) who sell JUST the higher end cards of the currently released chip, are not selling as well as say XFS, or PNY that make a full range of cards. But even those vendors have turned to making more than just the video cards. Plus there are tons of 'unknown' brands available on places like NewEgg and such that you can find a decent card for $150 and not have to shell out $400 for the card and another 200 for a power supply that will properly power it. BFG was on one of the few who had lifetime warraties on their cards and upgrade options if you owned a previous card of an older chip.
If there really is 1 Laptop per child. AND there is at least 1 child from all 6809 known spoken languages (http://www.lsadc.org/info/pdf_files/howmany.pdf) That's just 2350 books. Gotta read the fine print.
When WoW was launched the first time,(The game on the users PC) it asked what your time zone was. It would then dump you into a server (Eastern Time Zone had Bloodhoof, Central had Garona etc) Thus everyone wound up on the same servers. It wasn't until a patch or two later that that was removed. That is what lead to 4 realms being WAY over populated and the others untouched. At least in the US.
I'll check it when I get home tonight but I'm betting you are correct and what I have is Myth 2: The Fallen Lords and the addon.....But I'll post and let ya know:)
Without sounding sarcastic, what to they expect to accomplish? Loki tried; they had excellent game engines and talented programmers. Tribes 2, Hero's of Might & Magic 3, Heavy Gear 2, Heretic 2, Railroad Tycoon, Myth 1 & 2. Not to mention the Quake, Quake 2, Quake 3 and the ton of Quake 2/3 based games. **IF** Loki's biggest problem was indeed mismanagement then lets hope LGP has better people in charge.
I think they should start with Tribes 3:) Hey LGP!!! Give Sierra a call. I'm sure they will hook you up like they did Loki. "You can co-develop along with windows, can't release it till 6 months after the windows client is released. PLUS we will charge you 100's of 1000's of bucks for engine licensing. Then, we will release the engine for 100 bucks AFTER you've folded"/sarcasm
The first step to domination someone is causing CHAOS so they can't tell exactly WHAT is going on. Looks like it's working.
We've use SCO OpenServer at our site for over 7 years. Well, we did till they dropped OpenServer and required us to upgrade to UnixWare 7.1 during the Y2K scare. So we now have UnixWare 7.1 server. I have yet to receive anything from them wanting me to purchase the aforementioned products. Beleive me THEY LOVE TO BILL ME. So don't think they would just let me slide.:)
I have also not seen one thing that led me to beleive that this hasn't been sensationalized by the media. From my stand point anyone can walk up to you and tell you you have to purchase x product to reain compliant. It's up to YOU to determine if thier claims are true.
We bitch and moan about people/companies/goverment getting in your business and "infringing out privacy rights" then turn around and get all whacked out when something like this come along.
The only thing threatened with this article is the intelligence of the IS industry. It is UP TO EACH IT person that deal with the software inventory to KNOW what you need to purchase and what needs to be round filed!!

How many of the 2.7 million are due to "grandfather clause" with "Unlimited devices" when you paid the extra for streaming.....::cough:: 2004!

Not true....he was part of my 2 of my favs game series. Magic Carpet and (wish I could find a copy again) the Syndicate series.
I was told I could download Spore without DRM from that IP.
With Global Warming isn't refrigeration going to be moot. Just put your beer outside :D
yawn:
"I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum! And I'm all outta....wait does the bubble gum from China have lead in it?"
Will this microwave energy heat up my beer? I hate hot beer!
Try Teamspeak. It has a windows and linux client, as well as a server for each platform. Free, as in beer!
That's how I meant it....as in bad managment can take any good thing and trash it :/
I'll check it when I get home tonight but I'm betting you are correct and what I have is Myth 2: The Fallen Lords and the addon.....But I'll post and let ya know :)
Who did that then? I go them in a 2 for 1 combo...?? Been a WHILE so maybe it was Myth 2 and the addon I have ....Oh yeah this isn't smoke.dot LOL

I think they should start with Tribes 3
Try TeamSpeak Tis still in ßeta BUT what software for linux isn't LOL. It's available for Win32 & Linux as either client or server.
Here's a real kicker.....*IF* this is true that means Sam Latinga will in a round about way WORK for MicroSoft....."Ain't that some shit!"
