Windows nor OS X were written by people who dropped out.
citing a one in a few BILLION shot versus something that has a greater chance of success like, learning something about what everyone else knows in your field is a better alternative.
I really do trust someone like Lancet or any number of medical journals to give me the skinny on a particular topic based on tons of clinical trials and thousands of pages of raw data and meta analyses.
Right, but it's really those old school dixiecrats who are the racists anymore in the Republican party. Otherwise there would've been a huge tear in the party when Colin Powell and Condi Rice both got the position of Sec of State. There wasn't.
what exists now isn't RACISM, it's just IGNORANCE of how race plays out in our modern society.
How? GuitarFreaks has been in development and continual release since 1998. GuitarFreaks V5 released this year and V6 next year.
Just because a patent isn't American doesnt' mean that the patent doesn't apply. We're in numerous trade agreements that secure this.
(Konami was in a similar situation with a Korean company named Andamiro over a game called Pump it Up, which was decidedly DDR like(even had a replacement board for operators of DDR cabinets who wantd to convert, not to mention the first generation cabinets were manufactured just like DDR cabs))
Neither Parrapa or Bust-a-Move were games where you simulated the synthesis of music with multiple lines representing notes or other play components of instruments.
No, it can't. Especially if it's code that contains company proprietary information.
If Stallman really wants to live up to his own ideals of letting information be free, he should give out his social security number. If he does, let's see how fast he changes his mind on how free information should be.
There's a reason why it's patented, it's a completely original concept.
Not that Harmonix would understand that. Nearly every game they've made has either been a rip off of a Konami music game or developed FOR konami, save Anti-Grav.
How many games have been released under the Unreal Engine? The engine is BIG business for Epic.
Under Stallman's ideology, even limited use licensing for the UE is considered a huge no-no.
There are a lot of coders out there who have no talent, time or desire to build their own 3D engine, but have the will, brain power or time to make something great out of someone else's engine.
I really think Stallman's on the crazy fringe of the FLOSS movement. Free software is great, but to call closed source software a "public nuisance" is itself a nuisance. Make free software, great, advocate it's use versus non-free, but don't try to paint those who want to make money on their own software as evil. Some applications like say, photoshop, are nearly entirely useful because of it's own code base.
Most commercial applications are sold with some sort of restrictive license, requiring some sort of serial number, authentication key, or some other PLEASE PLEASE DON'T PIRATE THIS PLZ mechanism.
Okay, many people have accused him of this, but reading his response how he came about to his free software ideals really doesn't strike me that he quite understands why software costs money. Kind of like how warez kiddies I knew in highschool didn't quite understand why those pirated copies of Photoshop weren't free to begin with. Coding on a PDP-10 in the 80's is great... but now we're at an age where thousands upon thousands of software developers have to make a living *somehow.* Calling commercially closed source developed software a social problem is extreme. I couldn't imagine an age of software development where I could buy something, freely replicate it and expect the application developer to make money on it in other ways than dragging their heels on supporting it. How does he expect software developers to make a living?!
What was the press tone like in 04? 00? They leaned Bush. Because that's where the compelling story was. It's not got to do anything with liberal or conservative media bias. It's easy to do a story on Obama. Play a clip of sarah palin going, "Who is barack obama?" then go into his memoir, or audacity of hope. McCain on the other hand, kept making "Oh, Grandpa" moves and well, Sarah Palin... Joe Biden was a gaffe machine but he knew what the President of the senate means. The things that came out of his mouth were just hillarious, not ridiculously retarded.
I'm saying the 360 sucks. I have like, a gajillion USB pen drives that are easily bigger than half a gig that I can buy from any store around me and yet I can't use it for save games or downloadable content? I have to buy a proprietary device? The same thing is true for the HDD, WiFi, headset, and the list goes on with peripherals.

Yes, but to improve your likelyhood of scoring a job where you're writing kernel code for a living, going to school seems like a good idea.
Also, I couldn't imagine other scientific fields having simialr kinds of hands off approach to education

What? YOu mean like, Square Enix?
I've got nothing to hide.
But the Government shouldn't be looking either.

Of course that happens when you embed the 1600x1200 raw image of dick cheney giving everyone the finger with each email

Oh christ not this shit again.
Who signed the CRA into law? A Democrat.
Where did most of the Democrats go in 1964 AFTER the vote on the CRA? The Republican side.
What wing of what party ended segregation as per Newt Gingrich? Liberal Democrats.
Just down to up, and/or up to down. Laterally, not so much.
Sound roughly the same when you smash them against an amplifier while drunk.

and badly too.
Because that's not a guitar, that has no connection a TV style display, doesn't make guitar noises...

yeah but how do you propose Adobe and Epic Games make money?

Not necessarily working for the show, but doign the various things they do. Design, destruction, whatever.

Oops. Meant MGS. Although MG2: Solid Snake's crouch ability arguably makes it psuedo 3D
PS2 was designed and built in and around 1999/really early 2000. I didn't have any USB devices ready to go then.
Now that it's 2008, this is a much different story.
