Reading the letter, i have to say that i like nintendo more as a company. Rarely do we see anyone thesedays admint a mistake apologize and then offer a jesture of goodwill to make amends. I think it was a really classy move on the part of Nintendo. I have alwasy liked their systems and games. It is nice to see that there are some reasonable people working there. I think nintnedo handeled this really well and in the end, people will either simply forget about it or bring it up when defneding nintendo instead of the other way around. Kudos.
The nintendo apology link goes to a site that carries pornographic ads. WTF is wrong with the editors and the MORON who submitted the story! Put a warning there at least.
this sort of reminds me of the argument people make for replacing RIAA affiliated artists with indie bands. You can't simply replace something like an artist or TV show. People watch broadcast TV because they like the shows. The same goes for music. People listen to band X becasue band X is the type of music they like. You can't simply say here this indie band sounds like band X listen to it instead. While replacing windows software with linux software works sometimes, people aren't like that especially when telling them what they shoudl listen to or watch.
actually, slashdot renders fine in KHTML browsers like konqueror and Safari. Heck my pda running opie and an old version of konqueror renders slashdot very nicely. I think it is a problem with Gecko.
you mean like they voulntarily surrendered indochina to japan? how about all of their colonies in Asia? Starting the vietnam war was really smart too..
He was appointed to the FCC by Cinton not Bush in 1997. I dont know what connection Colin Powell has with Clinton aside from the fact that he left the military becasue of him.
You should check your facts before making a comment like that. You sound like the people that say Colin Powell has white parents.
well living in bosotn near the fleet center, i can safely tell you it was the DNC that was putting people in free speech zones. There is a reason why we call it the people's republic of Ma. you know (aside from the one party state bit)
actuall you are wrong about the game gear. It was a portable master system in every sense. It had a hug library of SMS games that it could play. All that was needeD was a cartrige adapter taht sega sold
Mozilla will hold firefox back. I dont see it reaching any significant levels mainly due to the continued use of radical left wing imagery. As long as things like this continue to exist, there will be many people like my self who will not use mozilla. As more people find out what mozilla is all about, the adoption of the software will be hurt.
well there is also that factor called NATIONALISM.It is somehting that is a rather alien concept in the west these days. I dont mean it as an insult. I am sure that we have all noticed this in recent years.
that kerry is known to say whatever will please the audience and go back on it later if he is in front of another crowd. For example, when among homosexuals, he talks about homosexual marriage but will never mention that in a black church or among blacks in general and people make sure no one asks about it. The same goes for his position on the war. Among anti-war groups, he is anti-war among more main stream people he is a moderate. Gievn his history, he will not do anything about the DMCA. do you really think the movie actors and recording artists that have given millions to him in cash and campaign ads will accept that? Politicians always consider reelection. If Kerry weakens the position of his base, he will not be elected.
as i reacall, singapore has some serious issues with water. Fro those who dont know it is a small chinese enclave off of malaysia. It is also 100% urban and doesnt have any easy way of getting something we take for granted; drinking water. Singapore over the years has done a lot of experiments with rain water collection and water treatment to get water. No surprise they would be advancing that technology.
We all know about the tension between the owners of the godzilla name and mozilla. Given the latter is a knockoff of the formers name and also uses a giant (at one time green) lizard as its symbol, it is unsurprising that the following comment is in the article:
"In America there are imitation products on the market that have the name"Zilla."
one of the problems with trying to change ther version of TCP or even replacing the protocol is that protocols that use an algorithm that is not TCP friendly usually ends up hammering or getting hammered by the network. TCP vegas is supposed to be superior to TCP Reno and Tahoe however, it does not have a chance on the same network. Therefore, even though it is better, it is useless.
I haven't removed my sig. You can get the gory details of everything if you search the BBC since it spans the events of the last 8 years.
If you want just the jist of the story look at my journal entry since this is offtopic. Looking at some of the comments that are posted here, it is easy to see how far downhill slashdot has gone. The hatemail i get for my sig is even worse. I try not to reply to anyone who posts as AC. As fro who i am, well, my village is a no go area now and i've seen way to many people die.
also it also does not help that linux users dont buy software. Mac users live in a culture of buying software.I think the only people who release commercial linux software have software targetted towards businesses and universities becasue they will buy the software and offset the loss. Therefore you see Vmware, mathematica etc. but no MS office.

Yes, and where have I said that Clinton made him chairman of the FCC.
here is the link to back up my statement on his appointment

For those that want to make nepotism comments, keep in mind that Powell was appointed to the FCC by Clinton and not Bush

i wonder what the gnome team will come out with now.
wonder why they arent using KHTML. The combined efforts of KDE, Apple and google. That would be quite a product.

i would put a link there but the sig space is only 120 chars. I got enough requests that i wrote a journal entry on it.

printf() is your friend
look at the sats on the page . Quite interesting. So apparently 46% of slashdot is from the US? or only 46% reads the story? hmm
