Yes, as someone who has read a few Heinlein books (and tried to read a few others), and disagrees strongly with his politics, the movie was a wonderful parody of the book. And I would say that Forever War agrees with a lot of my personal feelings about war better than Starship Troopers.
True, but you need realistic physics as a starting point. Some of the driving and crashes in Midnight Club and GTA3 are certaily unrealiztic, but you can see hoe they are based on a realistic physics model that was tweaked for gameplay purposes.
I have had problems like that with certain CD's in my old Memorex CD-R, it couldn't rip R.E.M's "Automatic for the People". But then I got a plextor and it ripped ok.
I thought the controllers on the X-box were gonna suck too, but the analog controls on them are actually really fine. I have never had an easier time manuvering or using a sniper rifle on moving targets than in Halo. Granted the buttons are too far from the analog controls, but I cna live with that.
I have the Rio 100, its great, its ugradable. It doesn't do ogg, but maybe it will some day. And its ability to handle subdirectories is better than any other cd based mp3 player I have seen, letting me keep everything really organized on my discs.
Then doesn't that indicate that Linux needs a better system to manage this many applications in their own directories? Why keep it the way its always been if its getting unmanagable? Open source developers are really good at fixing problems like this, it shouldn't be too hard for someone to come up with a good idea.
hahahaha, call NSI. Good luck getting a human on the phone. Hold times are around 30mins and they have a very small hold queue so if the lines fill up, the automated voice basically says 'fuck you' and hangs up.
Yes, this isn't something the typical dishonest commercial web site would ever do (the marketing dept. would have a fit), but for an information site, (the type that provides real contest) it would be great. And it would save time for people who were searching for information not products.
The default x-box demo sucks. The local EB repalced it with Halo a few weeks ago (probably against the rules, but oh well). Always has 2 players and a crowd around it now.
I give it a month before someone figures out how its doing the LAN networking and gets an VPN/IP tunneling server set up so you can do real internet play with Halo. At least thats what I am really hoping for. 4 player halo rocks (and is suprisingly managable on a 24" vega), I can't wait to try 16 player.
So how does this compare to the Cluetrain Manifesto, do its central points agree with or contradict that book? Is Cluetrain still valid today? One thing I noticed was that this book talked about following the "old rules" of business, whereas Cluetrian proposed about a new set of rules, though not the "new rules" that the dot-bombs followed.
I think it would be terrible if Linux gutted BeOS, took the good parts, and that was the end of it. I like Be because it is nothing like Linux, personally I don't like using Linux at all. And there are others like me who want to see a DIFFERENT open source OS so we have a choice. I thought Open Source/GNU was all about expanding people's choices, yet all anyone wants to do is turn everything into Linux.
Actually, you'd probably be ok, because what you own would just be sold as "professional" level equipment. Just like how any studio can buy a DAT deck but a consumer can't just get one at Circuit City. They will just price everything you use for "professionals" so that the regular consumers won't mess with it and will stick with their super copy protected stuff.
I sent an e-mail to postmaster@ezboard.com when I signed up there and started getting mointains of spam. Eventually I worked my way up to a vp and after a lot of complaining got them to stop selling my info and convinced them that they were selling stuff to a hardcore spammer.
Thast like saying "I have not heard of , what does it offer over " There's room for alternatives. The AOL server was (I think) good for serving up dynamic web pages using the TCL language.
I'd pay for it and I hate radio, or at least radio in its current form of non-stop top 40 hits. I looked at their station list and it seems like they will play things with less mainstream appeal on their stations. If they live up to that I will definitely be a paying customer and I'll finally be able to listen to radio again

Your employer puts in money, the RIAA doesn't even do that. The bands owe back the record label for anything the label spends out of their royalties.
Hmm...somehow with cutting out a slew of middle men, the King Crimson live CD (45min) is still $15. CD's should be like $8 tops.

Well, the software only works on Linux, which I assume means that Windows isn't suceptable to tempest eavesdropping at all.
holy shit, that was the funniest post on slashdot in weeks.
I like that there are no "bosses" in the game, having bosses seems so contrived adn very 8-bit Nintendo-ish.

The movie is actually out of print on DVD (but not VHS). Its still finable used at half.com sometimes.
I thought I had seen some department store PCs over the years that used some sort of shared memory, eMachines and the like?

And how is this a troll, I think this is a legit complaint for people surfing with ad blocking proxies, lynx and other browsers.
If this is a tech site, why the hell are all the images javascript popups instead of links. That is so annoying. You think they'd know better.
