You know that Jobs was just pissed because his assistant couldn't find the link to the free real player on their website, and payed for the full version.
Shoot read the GNU/FSF pages. Software developed in a proprietary language is of less value to free software than software developed in a language grounded in real standards, the kind ANSI and ISO spec out.
Prince of Persia was an old PC title from when I was in middle school. I don't really see the two series as equivalent. I also didn't like the Tomb Raider games.
I think that Doom 3 doesn't really fall into the catagory of the other games.
1) Doom 3 is retro. The last Doom game came out while I was still in high school. 2) Doom 3 is a significant advance over the last sequel. It's not just new levels.
Saying Doom 3 is just a sequel is like saying Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was just a sequel. There's no comparison.
Still, I think that companies will start coming out with more creative games soon. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised of LARPing became the next big thing, and games that are offshoots of RPGs became bigger, such as the White-Wolf titles, only with more roleplay.
I would imagine that the day that I discuss that with my grandchildren will be at LEAST 20 years away, as I am currently single, and have no illegitimate children (that I've been informed of).
In 4 years you'll need a faster computer because people will write slower and slower programs.
Think about it, I have a 2 GHz Linux box... on it I load an office/productivity suite written entirely in Java, with which I edit documents that will soon be defined entirely in XML.
How long does it take to load VI and a text file on a P75?
The heart of the problem is that people state that computers need to be in classrooms without stating what application they need.
1) Are you really going to teach kids to program? Probably not. Is it useful? Probably not as much as you would stick in a HS curriculum, HS kids have enough to learn, maybe as an elective.
2) Should kids be typing their papers? The word processor can spellcheck. Do you turn off the spellcheck so they have to spell the words themselves?
3) Internet research? If you never have to use a library, you'll never learn to use a library.
4) Whiteboards/transparencies? Eh, I could se the use of having one in the room for teachers to use powerpoint, but even most of my computer science professors in college used a whiteboard. I work at a computer company that's full of whiteboards... there must be a reason.
People seem to think that having computers in the room will just make the kids smarter, or learn more about computers. I have thousands of dollars of literature on computers, and I learned a lot more by cracking a book on the subject than I did by just hacking it out.
No offense, but I say lets not hop on every idiot who decides to crack into a system. This is the cracking equivalent of showing your little brother a double headed quarter.
I don't know about other states, but in Virginia, a media setup where the driver can possibly see a screen that can, by design, show DVDs or television is completely illegal. Even most media systems that could, because of their components, display such media (IE, the cd player in BMW 5 series cars), has to prevent the user from playing video.

The reason that Linux doesn't have support for all of these sound cards is because the vendors:
A) Didn't provide drivers
B) Didn't provide specs
Windows didn't solve this, the companies that sold the cards decided to release Windows drivers.
Incidentally, there's no version of IIS for Linux either, that I know of.

I typed the name in and got some stats on a baseball player...
A baseball player... horrifying.
These mice have been around for a while. This isn't a 3D mouse, this is one of those mice you tilt for presentations that tires your arm out.
I'd hate to game with one.
...cuz Google really sucked when it was only 5 Billion pages.

Maybe now I won't have to write my neural network in C for performance
I wonder if the format will be in XML
Eh?
So it will be high performace, and in XML?
**Looks at you funny**
You didn't just join a mointain militia, did you?
I can see it now.
This week on "CERN: Accelerating and Smashing" we use big voices and exciting language to exaggerate the proportions of microscopic explosions. BOOM!
Followed by "Trading Spaces: Faculty"

Actually, the issue is factoring large near-prime numbers.
A near prime number is one that is the product of 2 prime numbers.
I hate to sound like a troll, but she's both smart AND cute. If she's looking for a cute american programmer...

Oh yeah, and the problem is cool too
At the shows I've been too, the item to have was a light up pen (the ones with the LED's in the clear plastic.
They're probably cheap, but they look really cool, and most of your coworkers just want to grab them (I had mine stolen twice as a gag).
I'm sorry, I was referring to the new one in longhorn that is some sort of object relational database.
Probably when processors can support that filesystem of theirs without making it look too terribly slow ;-)
You could always do like one of my coworkers does... take the glory, and then pin the blame on me when people ask questions...

Since when has Debian been ok with BSD licenses?
There are already similar solutions if your intention is to cluster.
