I study CS, and feel confortable to say that I know way around most problems, and how to solve them ( for the most part) However(!) When my crappy fps in WoW whent down from a steady 30fps(not-to-shappy-graphix-setting (XP)) to a sub 7fps(extremely UGGLY (MINIMUM) settings) in VISTA, I felt a small resentment and once again felt the dissapointment of MS. And thats not all. Even though I have a full good system, with common parts, I (don't ask me how) got so lucky to se a BLUE SCREEN!!
Overall XP wins over Vista 99% in terms of windows usage... Windows is still inferior to the simplicity of a good linux system... To bad we don't have the games to give us a 100% OC-system
Im gonna say this first, please forgive my bad spelling (im Swedish).
Im sorry for being a possible ignorant (being european and all). But isn't this a bit WAY overboard? Pardon me for saying this, but recruiting young people for something like this just rings H-jugend in my mind. It frickin discusts me how some companies, or an alliance of them, can do things in this world (worse thing has happened all over the glode). Of course it's great that young people are taught too obey the laws and rules of said country. But PLEASE, isn't up to the goverment (or something democritical) to do theese things?!
(once again, please don't get picky about spelling or something trivial like that)
Does anyone think that this kind of speculations will stop? Most likely not, I believe that they will only get worse untill they finally catch up with the era. I will neither admit nor deny piracy, but I still think that the whole Hollywood (and record) business is WAY over flated. "'The market forces that exist today make it unrealistic to spend $200 million on a movie,' (George Lucas from a previous/. story).
I believe that a big part of the lost revenue is due too (correct me if you think I'm wrong) some actors over inflated paychecks. I personally love eally good actors. But to get 20,000,000 for a film is just ridiculus, plain and simple. There are a TONs of excelent actors just dying to get on the big screen, and they often give us the most insight into their character (Star Wars IV,V,VI anyone?!)
I am all for that the company who pays for the movie (or music if you will) shoould get their monies worth, and they have kept it at a fairly even plane. But please, there comes a time when people have had enough.
And I ask you, do you believe their claims? Or do you believe that a company's goal is to make profit? Although I live in Sweden this is what I have understood that the (once again, correct me if im wrong) RIAA and MPAA are all driven by private interests?
We recently had a HUGE IT-bubble that burst, and just maybe It's time for Hollywood as well?
As said before, there are TONs of excelent actors. Isn't it a a breath of fresh air when a new, and unforseen, actor perfom with an equal amount (or more) grace and proffesional skill equal the over paid "profesional ones"?
Slashdot Mirror
Maybe it was just me who was hoping that it wasn't a thing of the past.
