I am more with this guy, although I am more biased towards "who gives a sh*t, whatever you do in life you'll die anyway, so just do whatever you feel like"
This article implies I care what happens after my death.
Truly, it doesn't matter, people will still die, here or on another planet, there is just no incentive to care at this point. Now of course if
scientists would stop fapping and decide to do something about fixing the death problem for good one could be more motivated; in the
meantime, anything you gain during life is lost anyway, so moving to another planet is a huge effort for not much reward.
Nihilist here.
I even bought the vinyl soundtrack, just thought it was brilliant.
now, it is very sad that such nice games are getting pirated and people apparently can't tell the difference between this little gem and megacrap games like Modern Warfare and just pirate both.
I think it would be clever for PC gamers to reward refreshing and actually imaginative games by paying for them and pirate the daylights out of the boring megaproductions the market is flooded with; this would generally increase the innovation in PC gaming and allow smaller studios to keep on coding fun games without having to rely on megacompanies like EA and Activision who only see immediate and massive profit.
Can't blame PC gamers for pirating, most recent games are shit, it is very rare nowadays to see anything truly imaginative from the big names...
Currently the internet is headed for a wall mostly because of corporate overlords and governments being greedy f**ks and most of the population thinking Internet Explorer IS the internet.
Facebook and the like will self destroy eventually starting with privacy concerns.
Indeed it was better when computing and networking was a geek thing, only people with some understanding of what was going on could manage to get online, now we have handed to the keys of the promised land to
morons (most of the population uses the network without knowing jackshit about it)
On a personal note, all the above is making me slowly lose interest in computing and networking, the older I grow the more I see the internet being turned into a corporate dumpster; eventually I'll get tired of going online at all.
In the future VPNs will be formed by geek groups that will be based on trust and sharing (just like the good old days); and the cycle starts again...
In most cases you dont need more than 20 digits, doing more than that is a waste of computing power.
Who the hell is going to use 5 bloody trillion digits of pi ? there is practical use for it...
That said if it made Mr Kondo happy and it is the sort of things he enjoys doing I can only encourage him and congratulate him.
After all in words of some great philosopher "it matters not how insignificant what you are doing seems, and it is important that you still do it"
n France your ISP (well most of them) provide you with a preconfigured modem/routeur that they call a "box".
This box handles IPTV and VoIP too. IPTV and VoIP depends on specs often known only to the ISP and therefore it is hard to find a compatible modem/routeur of your own, forcing you to use the ISP's if you want to use VoIP and IPTV (which is actually forced upon you as part of most ISP's basic package, it is difficult to get a truly IP-only connection here for a reasonable price, IP and VoIP and IPTV is actually cheaper than just IP) The long term plan is for all ISPs to agree on some basic standards for their "box" and the filtering software/spyware would be implemented on the "box" thus making it "unavoidable". Most people won't notice (don't get me started on how completely technically illiterate people are even allowed to connect to the network) the firmware update (they already don't as it is and most rely on basic out of the box settings) and blacklist updates and so on. Thank you ISPs who catter to technical morons and thanks to the french government for basically planning to introduce a mandatory in-your-home wiretap for everyone, guilty or not.

Greetings from europe, as you may or may not remember we had supersonic flight readily available in Europe until slow ass airliners created for mass profits by Boeing and Airbus were deemed better (and safer lol)
Now what Boeing is proposing is in fact an "ecofriendly" plane that is going to be even slower than today's already slow as hell airliners...
Whilst it sounds good to be more "ecofriendly" and makes us feel less guilty about presumably fracking the earth it isn't going to happen anytime soon on any practical scale (read: doesnt take you 8 hours to get from Paris to NY)
Guess I wont be flying on them slow-ass flying coffins any time soon.
Feel free to mod flamebait but this is simply where I stand.
Seriously at the resolution if you want to take advantage of it you have to use a higher bitrate...
In the state it is in currently, all this gets you is more macroblocks and a boiling CPU.
I'll pass thank you...
Lets blame software for everything!
Lets blame software bugs for the laws of thermodynamics ! wooohoo! Steve Jobs will save us all!
Also, why put software in everything? Off topic but do laptop chargers/adaptors NEED ID chips that fail 90% of the time rendering the adaptor useless?
It suddenly dawns on Steve Jobs that the reason for poor Wifi during his presentation was not because of too many people with wifi around but because he wasnt holding it right, therefore shorting the wifi antenna with the 3G one...
so this baby has bad reception in 3G and in wifi

The point is i still want phone (dont care about TV)
Exactly. Also I used to be an Alice client, never again...

Granted thats why I said it is still important that it be done. but for now I just don't see any use for it.

Meh
Tennant was just horrible, I couldnt stand his bird-like face and his arrogance. I love Matt Smith however... Pity if he leaves...
I can't see the Linux version requirements on that site.... Some oversight by the web master? or is there really no linux version?

Steve Jobs is going to come and "fix" the laws of physics so as to have 0ms displayed.
Finally! Proof of what I knew all along, soccer fans have a rotting brain!

Meanwhile: "Turn of Wifi!!!" "Don't hold it like that!!!" "Don't use unauthorized software!!!" "Dead pixels are a feature!!!"
