The only thing they care about is your ability to FUNCTION. Snorting coke and speed, and getting stoned every night after work impairs your function on THEIR TIME regardless if you did the drug on YOUR TIME.
YOUR TIME has nothing to do with it. When you become enefficient on THEIR TIME because of what you do on YOUR TIME then they can kick your ass out and you can go flip burgers or something.
I'd rather do my job effectively, and drive a nice sports car. Woot! Your choice, bud.
Castlevania, Zelda, Kid Icarus, Gradius, R-Type, Turrican 2, Mario, Sonic, MasterBlaster, Ikari Warriors, Contra, MegaMan!
All these are still better than all this FPS crud coming out. Quake 3? I'll pass, Doom was fun, but the industry didn't need to go any farther. Give me Castlevania 50!
Tabs were used that far back.. Was Adobe even around then? Hell, GEOS from 83 might have even had some Tabs somewhere in it.. But don't quote me on that one!
Dungeon Master (My Favorite RPG) used tabs exclusively. I believe that was out in the 80s.. Came out on the Atari ST before that...
When was this tab thing patented?
If Titan AE was all 2D it might have been better.. The 3D in this movie reminded me when I played around with 3D Studio Max for the first time making big mirrored balls and shards everywhere.. Weee... 2D was excellent, however.
No offense, but everyone knows the Rage series just plain blows.. Heck, ANYTHING from ATI blows. If Apple wants to get ahead of the game with video and realtime 3d and multimedia, they should get into talks with NVidea or 3DFX.
1. It was NOT an action movie. It was a background movie. It described Xaviers school, and introduced Xavier, Magneto, Wolverine and Rogue and let us know who and why they are. You arent supposed to 'hate' any of them. Not even Magneto. The thing about XMen is that everyone is cool and have their own ideals on everything. Good vs Evil is overdone. Xmen brought something fresh. This is a very deep series that just started. If you were looking for action, XMen has some nice scenes, but you're better off watching Matrix on DVD. The movie was not made for action.
2. Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) out acted every single star in the movie hands down. There is NO arguing that. Stewart and McKellen were dwarfed by his acting ability. No doubt he will be in a TON of movies after directors see how well he does.
3. X-Men were never a 'well formed team'.. Ever. They were ALWAYS a band of bickering freaks. They split to form many seperate groups (X-Factor, X-Force, etc) *many* *many* times. There was very little love between members, but when there was, it was very special because it was so RARE.
In short, the reviewers here don't know what the heck they saw, and obviously never read an X-Men comic to save their lives. Action movie? Pshaww...
Granted the prototype might cost this much, but like HDTVs, the materials once they build a production line will most likely run them a few hundred dollars, if that. I wish these people would try and market these things to people who would actually want to buy them rather than selling a few of them across the world to Hospitals and such...
I could have chosen refurbished, or used equipment to shave it down to around $600 or so, since this IS just a 'gaming machine' which you wont really give a crap about... Sure, whine certain aspects arent that great, whatever, get a P3 600 or something, get a celeron, overclock it to 900mhz for sixty bucks, whatever..
Fact is, this shit is CHEAP. Go buy one already you twits.
Cripes, everyone flames me saying you can't get what I listed for $800 or so.. Go to pricewatch and build one yourself for around that amount. Twits, everywhere unite!
P3 + Sysboard will run you $300, $100 for the mem, $200 for the vid/sound, $300 for the monitor.
So I was off by $100 bucks, sue me. I still think you're a cheapass if you can't stick another computer together to play games if you're that concerned with playing Diablo (a fucking $65 video game!). If you can afford that, you can afford to give money to bill gates and intel and run a Windows98 machine. You twits.
...Those hackers of the 80s were sitting in jail, and they feel the need to try and keep the flame.. Seriously, imagine at 10 when you read about Kevin Mitnik, or watch the movie Hackers for the first time, what do you want to go do? (Some of you with bad taste might want to go barf..).. But anyways, kids are BORED, breaking the law, drinking underage, smoking pot, breaking into systems, screwing with the law is FUN WHEN YOU'RE 10-16 years old.
It isn't about parents teaching respect, it's about GROWING UP.
There is no right or wrong, there is only fun and boring!
Just to clue you all in. It is a standard CDROM with 1.2 GB capacity so that it cannot be copied. Unfortunately, they CAN be read, so people hack out the 600MB movies and then you have 600MB of game leftover that can be burned to a normal CDROM and played on your Dreamcast since burners can't burn 1.2 GB...
If you've ever used it you will notice that all the quirks are mostly gone from the GUI that plague others OS's, and that a lot of stuff "That just makes sense" is added into it. (The sliding Title bars for example.)
I personally think BeOS has done the best GUI of anything i've ever seen or used. I have tried many of the Linux GUIs (E, etc) and none are very intuitive or useful on a serious day to day basis for me.
Every month or so as it is anyways.. If a company wants to rent it for more than a month, then just charge them for the "cheap" printout and labor. I think companies would DEFINATELY go for animated COLOR billboards than static paper ones anyday, even if they had to reprint them every month...
Sorry, but the term Hacker has been the same since it's inception back in the 50s when people pulled off grad school 'hacks' of breaking into buildings and defacing it somehow.. It eventually progressed into breaking into computers, and now, websites.
So yes, the word Cracker is silly, and was already put to use in the early 80s by kids who broke copy protection off video games and released the patches.. named 'cracks'.. and the people who wrote them are 'crackers'..
They kept their distance from the phreakers and hackers.. The ONLY people who have mangled the definition, or have tried to, are the Microsoft MCSE weenies who want to call themselves hackers for setting up a lame ass NT server, or some dimwit who compiled his first kernel without destroying his entire Linux box.
A simple cracker doesn't worm his way into NASA. A true hacker does. The guy probably hacked his own code to break in for chrissakes. Quit making yourself look like idiots by using the WRONG GODDAMN TERMS. It has been, and always will be called HACKER.
Christ, they write 50 billon books and movies on the subject and you still got a few hundred weenies who write code that want the glory term for themselves and can't deal with the fact that immature teenagers with nothing better to do can get so much more publicity.

it's HACKERS not CRACKERS you bozo. use the terminology they were using BACK THEN, not the lame CRACKER lingo of todays MCSE twits.

Tho, Chris has his own mp3.com site with a HUGE ASS 6.4MB MP3 of the T2 title song, which r0x.

read it again, twit. It is paper.

Christ! The entire POINT of this technology is that is is PAPER and therefor is CHEAP.
You guys are all reacting like paper is $1,000 a square foot a sheet.. Good lord.
