TA is the obvious champion. Personally I don't understand how something as bland, boring and non-innovative as SC could make #2. I'd put it somewhere on the bottom half of the list.
I'd also say that there's no way to go back in time and try to compare these games today. It's hard to understand the incredible feeling of awe you got from watching your 3D-army marching to the strong, suddenly crecending, orchestral track, when today everything is 3D (no matter if it makes the game worse, 3D it is. (Pouts at the failure that is NWN)
I can honestly say that I don't understand how StarCraft could come in at #2. I'd been playing and hacking around on TA for a year when StarCraft came and did nothing better than TA. I gave up the SC campaign on the third of fourth map and never went back.
TA I played again a couple of weeks ago and had a good time. Works very well on newer faster machines, though it's a little hard to play over the internet due to the way network play is implemented and the problems with NAT.
The most interesting characteristic of these new P4's is IMHO:"
"On the other hand, Prescott is looking at some massive increases in latency, the access latency for the Level 1 cache has quadrupled, and the Level 2 cache accesses are approximately 50% slower." -- Lost Circuits
Intel better ramp up that clock and/or have everyone optimizing for SSE3 if they want to dominate the benchmarks.
I had the misfortune to read a book on Qt by Patrick Ward called Qt Programming. I'm sorry, but it's got to be one of the worst books on this topic that I've ever seen.
This article sounds completely stupid. Someone didn't know that pulling 64-bits across the bus( reading/writing can take longer than 32-bits? Never thought of the caches?
Just read the GCC Proceedings, there's explanations and benchmarks of the why/how/when of x86-64 in 32 vs 64-bit mode, both speed of execution and image size.
To recover in an action for slander of title, a party must allege and prove: (i) the utterings and publishing of disparaging words; (ii) that they were false; (iii) that they were malicious; (iv) that special damages were sustained thereby; (v) that the plaintiff possessed an estate or interest in the property disparaged; and (vi) the loss of a specific sale. Malice is a basis for recovery of actual damages in a slander of title case means merely that the acts must have been deliberate conduct without reasonable cause. A patent may well be the subject of a slander of title action as Prosser and Keeton state that intangible interest such as "trademarks, copyrights [and] patents" may be the subject of the tort.
As compared to other "injurious falsehood" causes of action, slander of title or property differs in that there is no presumption of damages. The plaintiff must show that he or she sustains special damage proximately, naturally and reasonably resulting from the alleged slander. Attorneys' fees are not recoverable in slander of title actions, and neither damages to reputation nor consequential mental damages are recoverable in action for slander of title. The plaintiff must prove the loss of a specific sale, i.e., that a pending sale was defeated by the slander. However, the reasonable expense of litigation necessary to remove the doubt, or cloud, from the property or title thereto has been held to be recoverable. Additionally, punitive damages are also recoverable in an action for slander of title. Thus, as was the case with a defamation cause of action, a plaintiff should allege that defendant's actions were both intentional and with malice.

This patent is just so much bullshit. The people behind this are the same type of sociopaths as the SCO-people. I fucking _cannot_ understand how they can fucking live with themselves.

If they're using pnglib, then how come png alpha supports is so fucked in IE? Deliberate?
What it said. You're not feigning ignorance are you? Boot KNOPPIX from an USB Memory Stick.
Using that metric SCOX is a very successful company.
What's wrong with the fix we have now?

You boot windows or try and run IDA through WINE.

By adding "porn" I found this. Now what?
BSDs compiler is GCC. Apple have engineers working on GCC. GCC is a very important Free Software project.
IE? Nobody here use IE :-P. I think these problems with GAIM is more of a concern for the slashdot readership.
I hear they've been fixed in debian. (no link, so you better check for yourself)

Stay far, far away from it.

Haven't opened it yet, but I see humor in the near future.
Home of the Enderle Troll, isn't it? What did you expect?

Prepend "Ni kan" for "You can".

WHYY?! This is stupid.
..a "SCO Sucks" comment.
Or would that be considered redundant maybe?
Did you fix the Lost Circuits-link yet?
Please add links to any reviews that run 64-bit linux (or other 64-bit OS of choice) with 64-bit benchmarks on said processor:
fineprint: I don't need a lecture on the nature of 64-bitness.
Saw this on the Yahoo board:
