is the practice of using historical figures in fiction. TR in his days as chief of the NYPD in the Alienist was one thing, but Millerd Fillmore as a love-sick accountant? That's too far.
Carr is a new Puritan: if it seems beneficial and people like it, then it must be bad. TV's are everywhere- so, get rid of yours and tell everyone about it, endlessly. The Internet has revolutionized our culture, so for that reason alone it must be very, very bad.
They're all so super-smart, I'm beside myself with glee to think that my electronic devices will act on their behalf, to protect the sacred copyrights.
I vote the way Alec Baldwin tells me to vote.
If Rosie O'Donnel has an opinion on gun control or capital punishment, she must be right- she's so real- don't you think?
Listen, people. You don't become rich and famous by accident. Even Andy Dick is filled to the brim with intellectual prowice.
Are there plans to release a distro of LinuxPPC specifically suited for PPC users left behind by Apple and OSX? Most desktop users are put off by a default kitchen-sink install. It seems that with those services turned off, maintenance and operation is a bit more friendly to Unix newbies.
Hack #1: We need to generate hits and revenue
Failed Novelist: True. Baby does need new booties.
Hack #2: What about a feature on the poor quality of game software? Drivers, patches, 3d cards, it's all falling apart.
Failed Novelist: That would require actual reporting skills.
Hack #1: What about another crappy top 10 list?
Hack #2: People love that. It generates rancor, churns the boards and generally boosts hits.
Failed Novelist: Yeah, people are stupid.
ALL: Agreed.
It may be a good company, maybe better than the available options. Their ROI may seem very attractive. But lack of support and poor marketing will make you regret buying them. I just know it.
I'll keep playing those dozen or so extant Dreamcast titles (the ones in English) until they burn a hole in my TV.
Husein must be stopped! He's going to airlift those puppies to kids on Christmas thereby accompishing two goals: endearing himself to America's youth and dulling the minds of young men who would be called upon to fight him in a few years.
It could be just a coincidence. Or it could be that a Viacom/Time Warner company just ate our lunch. Perhaps they can get away with it because they're backed by three hundred rabid lawyers. But it may be that they stole from us. Or not. You decide.
If you have no OSX (yet) and haven't had anything groundbreaking on the OS side for 15+ years, you're going to go after anyone who imitates your pretty pictures, your translucent candy-colored plastic.
Now that OSX is turning out to be a Benjamin fix (buy all new apps since Carbon is so slow), Apple may be getting desperate.

If we forbid mean speech, we can eliminate it in the way we have eliminated drug use by making it illegal.

The video quality on high-action sequences was inferior even to VHS.
And it's my understanding that VCD is a very specific format. You can't just toss an MPEG-1 file on a CD-ROM and expect it to run.
So, why does anyone still care about VCD?

Too often we reject a language or extension technology simply because of its source. This is unfortunate.

It's time to lower the rhetoric- and even the rhetoric rhetoric. Besides, can any gainfully employed programmer actually have time for that crap?
