The dangers of not having someone to whip engineers into shape are also present. Witness Duke Nukem Forever, which is the ultimate "Release it when it's ready" horror story.
A balance is needed. An engineer would work ages on a project if he didn't need to make deadlines.
I don't want to turn this into a console war, but the Xbox360 premium package has been confirmed to be ropping in price when the PS3 launches in Europe. So when it drops in march 20-something, the PS3 will effectively cost twice the price.
If you saw the HD trailer for Little Big Planet, and you can honestly say you didn't feel hopeful for the console, you are probably not a gamer anymore. I own only a Wii and I hate Sony, but I had to admit that looks really cool.

Just to clarify - Doesn't PeerGuardian2 do the same thing?
I've always had homework since kindergarten. Not only from school but also from private english and other classes. I went to some "elite" schools that left you with a lot of homework, at least everyday.
One teacher actually encouraged people to drop out of that school if they couldn't dedicate all day to studying (this was spurred by a girl asking for an extension because she worked to help her family).
I'm a total burnout.
I can't handle any sort of stress at all now.
I dropped midway through my educational career because it was too much. When some family drama happened (divorces, death, finance problems) I had to rise to the occasion and help the family, and something had to give.
I know they wanted me (or us) to turn into some sort of superkid, but it broke some of us.
I think this is a good move on the part of schools.
I have always wondered if it would be possible to somehow harness the energy from lifting a stack of heavy weights in machines. Perhaps use the friction, or whatever.
But if you have spent any time in a gym, you at one point get to think about all the energy that is being wasted, or that could be used for better purposes. Imagine if all the gyms in the world found a way to recycle the energy wasted doing lifts. It's hundreds of people a day, multiplied by thousands of gyms. At least it would help a little.
So if I download something and then send it back to whoever let me download it and I delete it from my machine, would that be lending and would it be legal?
4 Dollars to download a crippled file? You have to be kidding me!
For 4 dollars I can rent 2 movies on my local non-blockbuster video rental store and keep them for a week. Or I can rip them and keep them for however long I want.
This price is ridiculous. I was expecting 1 or 2 dollars at most.
OH, and it doesn't work with anything besides Windows. Did anyone think this through before launching this site? Do they just want it to fail so they can say "We told you it wouldn't work!"

Come on Slashdot... Pick up the pace.
Yeah, but the issue is not to point at the other guy. The issue is to make sure Ubuntu is *better* than that guy.
I think comparisons to Windows are really detrimental. Ubuntu should be in another league.
Good luck accessing Google when your Ubuntu install is hosed...
Please don't be nasty to us new users.
I'm itching to try this one, and I'm already downloading it!
But please tell me: How hard will it be to upgrade to the final release if I install it to my hard drive?
If it's going to be too hard, I think I'd rather wait.
I have seen more and more of these types of comments lately. They add nothing to the discussion, and your sarcasm only hurts the community here.
Sure, we have lots of anti MS people, but that does not mean we are all mindless drones who cannot discuss any other current affairs.
If this was aired in 1984, how come she has an ipod? Did he digitally add it?
Add to that the fact that it doesn't display anywhere outside the USA, and you got a loser of a web app.
Actually, the porn is what I'm taking screenshots of... I just don't want my friends to know I read Slashdot :(
Well, Friends did it for 10 years!

Since they are always imagining "interesting" uses for new technology, I wonder how the porn industry will implement this technology?
There's already adult websites made exclusively for Wii navegation...

Hey, Satan uses VLC! No need to badmouth the guy, he already has enough bad PR as it is!
No. By default AVG free updates every day, and the update takes about 10 seconds at most (at least for me).
Well, that doesn't look like a marketing plant at all! ;)
But yeah, I agree that we gotta suport vendors who sell linux enabled platforms by default.
Do you have any particular projects in mind? I know about Google Labs, and I find it fascinating. Does Microsoft have an equivalent that is public?
Mp3, hands down. I tried using Ogg for a while, but there's just no support. When the iPod supports it, then Ogg wins.
I saw some games using Ogg, and I thought that was super cool. I think Unreal used it.

You too?
I'm surprised, I've talked to a lot of gamers who were so bored with Doom3 that they turned on God Mode and just went at it to see the end boss.
I did that with Quake4 too. The challenge just stops being fun, and it becomes boring.
