You've kind of missed the point entirely, most of the people who pirate games can't afford to buy all of the games they pirate, so they never would have bought all the games they pirated.
Thats the problem. Times have changed. Not all but some. Nobody buys *any* games nowadays. I know far too many people who bought an NDS and a copier for the *sole* purpose of pirating everything. Same goes for Xbox360.
Not true. I design billon+ hit/month systems, I assure you they are never a single server, and that basic apache tuning won't cut it. It gets much trickier now that pages are not just HTML with images linked. Dynamic content creation is very CPU and (often more so) memory dependant
You have some *really* dirty power or wicked heat issues. In the last... I dunno 12 personal computers I've built? I've lost a single CPU (AMD XP) and no GPUs... Those failure rates are way WAY *WAY* above industry standard. I used to build servers for example, and in 100 dual-socket units we might lose a single CPU over 3 years and usually it was flakey from the get go.
First off it has 32MB not 64MB... 32MB isn't much for 'hacking' around with. 32MB is nearly useless. Unless your breed of 'hacking' around is guaranteed to be limited to a few very simple apps running at the shell, 32MB is going to be an issue. Wouldn't try using any of these modern interpreted languages with their bloaty runtimes, thats for sure.
Lol the furry http://daleglass.net/images/dale_small.png plans to make improvements... Does that mean you'll be adding erect penises to all the characters in the WolfFire game?
And since "anonymous" are just the virgin college and highschool kids who hang out on a public image board, and not a group at all, who cares? I understand the desires to fit in, but the whole wannabe-hacker-collective act is pathetic.
This is +3 and the GP is +5... Typical slashdot apple hatred. The guy infringed on some Indian trademark. Apple respected said trademark. You need to take it up with the Indians, not Apple...
Thats likely because you run Windows. Those of us who don't, see Flash suck. Flash sucks on my c2d, is fine on my i7. The fact that it takes an i7 to play back 720p (let alone 1080p) video properly via Flash goes to how poor the non windows implementations are...
except with people who have no clue that Android apps run in a virtual machine
Yea ok, because virtual machines have shit all to do with the UI layer... Touch or multi touch? Screen size? Oh right the Android's GUI totally solves having a nice looking UI on all screen resolutions. Spoken like someone who has never done anything other than indie development.
Slashdot Mirror
Are you building an Android UI by mistake?

Too bad a router image file is not OSS...
Hardly the same kind of DDoS that carriers worry about...

Mommy and daddy surely, like so many of these life-gamers.

lol no. slashtards, why is this modded +5, its completely incorrect.
Sadly Itanium would have been better than x86-64. It's a shame it never did take over.

EFF Nonsense
Sadly its folks like J.P. Barlow that remove any credibility the EFF has outside of very specific issues...

How is it in college these days?

A CS101 undergrad could implement a reasonable implementation in a hour. This is trivial stuff.
Me thinks you are not a computer scientist, or do not remember the average CS101 student...
Buy an Android :)
How many comments are you gonna reply to fapping over 'Flash Player 10.1' on your 'Nexus One'. We get it.

Tell your dad thanks for the comment, and you should probably move out of his basement.
Yea totally. His claims of becoming #1 or his claims of developing games are hilarious too :>
pretty 3D games on the iPhone are mostly horribly sluggish. Not very impressive. The iPad is better, but not amazingly so.
Woohoo Apple bashing the form of an unsubstantiated anecdote. Weee slashdot!
I don't have an iPhone, and I don't always have $10 for an iPod Touch upgrade.
Dude what the fuck? I probably spend $10 in the appstore *a day*.

Yes, because Apple... makes products that people outside of /. like. Let's take them down a notch (or 20)!!!11
