These adds have nothing to do with a Dr Evil plot to rule the world or turn the internet into TV or annoy slashdot users.
These ads have to do with the fact that banner ads pay next to nothing. Take a look around at how many sites have either gone under or been screwed over for ad revenue. There's no way that Salon can continue WITHOUT THESE ADS.
Do you honestly think that slashdot makes any money? Do you honestly think that their Ad revenue pays for their bandwidth? Internet ad revenue is in the toilet, and without going subscription only this is the only way websites that don't have other sources of revenue will survive.
After we haxor his boxen and root his servers and change all of their index.html files, then and ONLY then will Omar Bin Laden and his cohorts know they have been owned.
Their server farms and e-commerce terrorist sites that litter the internet cafes of Afghanistan will feel our rath. Our exploits will decimate their ftp sites and not a single router will go unpunished.
RTCW is actually pretty disappointing. It feels like a Q3A mod, rather than a new game. The graphics are poor, the textures poor quality and the sound is pretty average. Urban Terror looks so much more polished.
It has some neat tricks, like the flamethrower and the air-strikes, and the machine guns are fun. The game is Assualt based (as in Unreal tourny), but so far seems pretty tame. And if all engineers can do is plant and dis-arm dyanamite...why bother?
SP might be cool, but the RTCW MP Test isn't anything to get excited about.
Nah, too much bother. Just have the airlines start tranqing all of the passengers before the flight. When they land give everyone a stimulant and they're on their way.
Cheap, easy, 100% effective and the airlines save money on drinks, peanuts and in-flight movies.
28,000 pounds? You could by enough Aibo's to have your own football team of them.
Still, maybe that's a bargin to robotics researchers, would-be world dictators and the robot-porn industry. I think it's priced well beyond the reach of most OS developers.
Of course, it would make a great entry for BattleBots.
MPEG4 is an incredibly complicated scene graph compression scheme. Currently people are merely using it a transport stream format with mpeg1 video compression.
A real mpeg4 encoder has to be content aware, and right now that's beyond our abilities(and hardware).
That's funny. I thought that BeOS died because it was buggy, ill-supported, took 10 years to come to market, switched focus every two years to alienate it's users and developers and had no applications.
Man, I can't believe how Bill Gates fooled me.

too bad everyonce else in the industry is blindly re-hashing the techniques picked up in Doom. Even Doom3 is using the exact same rendering as Quake 1 - just with more passes.
this brings up the question:
Just why did they bring chili sauce in the first place? Would you want to be in a cramped space station with your fellow astronauts eating bean burritos and chili sauce?
great way to stress test the air filtration system I guess.

All CEO's are jerks. It's part of the job description.

Q3F Beta 2 on the other hand....
is it even used for Porn? Does anyone actually bother with it?
I really can't see why. With multiple camera angles how would you avoid showing the film crew, other camera operators, the lights, etc?
I imagine this will be as widely used as the multiple camera angle feature available on DVD's.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the stock at danger of being de-listed if they don't get it back over $1 in 6 months or something?
If they delist, isn't that like chapter 11?

Easy way to get rid of pop-ups forever!!!!
Just stop visiting porn sites.
They can only mean 75,000 tonnes of pure energy. You know, the star trek kind.

what do you think IS under those stormtrooper helmets?

bloody europeans...had to be different.
There's a guy at my work who can hand-solder BGA parts. He's good. Really, really good. He uses a combination of a solder fountain and a heat gun.
If you don't want yor GPL code used in microsofts closed source project then you shouldnt have released the source on the internet.
If John Carmack didn't want everyone to have free access of his games then he shouldn't have sold them.
How can you be pro-GPL if you're anti-copyright?
He Who Write The Code Determines The License.
If you dont like it, DONT FREAKEN BUY THEIR PRODUCT (music/software/movies)
How can you be so passionate about your own stupidity?
what do you think the GPL is about you twit? It restricts your freedom as a user in order to guarantee the freedom of the author.
You HAVE TO REDISTRUBUTE YOUR CODE, even if you don't want to. Thus, it restricts YOUR RIGHTS in favour of the original AUTHOR AND COPYRIGHT HOLDER.

You've stolen the copyright owners freedom. The freedom to decide how and when the music is distributed.
Your full time job involves posting 20 stories per day and you're telling me you're too busy to verify them?
I'm assuming you work for a union?
I'm glad I'm not the only one who enjoyed Dune but felt that the rest of the series sucked ass.
now I can die in peace.
