I'm fairly certain that pound-for-pound, there are more computers running Linux than MacOS (Servers & Desktops), but... the numbers seem a bit fishy if they are saying that Linux outnumbers MacOS on the desktop...
When I was using linux regularly, I had difficulty imagining NOT installing Ximian. The installation is smooth, and the Red Carpet upgrade process made my life an order of magnitude easier (well, easier as far as Linux was concerned, it didn't make real life any easier...).
That wasn't my point at all, and you can use real curse words here, not "!@#$%^ ".
My point was that Jon brushed off addiction like it wasn't real, and was just a part of the popular anti-gamer panic. My point was simply that Bad Things Can Happen.
I didn't mean to imply that because addiction is a possibility that the medium (or chemical) is bad
If we are working with two different definitions of Addiction (casual craving Vs. Dependency), so be it. BUT developing a dependency or need on things like games, or a drug, or the endorphin rush when you step on a tack, is dangerous to you, your health, and those who may depend on you.
...Don't shrug off addiction to games, It happens, and it has plenty of historical precedent. While video games don't offer the real world risk and reward potential of gambling, it is easy to get hooked on winning, or almost-but-not-quite winning, and can lead to dangerous, unhealthy situations, as the game becomes more important in the gamers life...
XML is the replacement for HTML. XHTML is the gateway from HTML to XML
By gateway, do you mean that people are going all migrate to custom XML markups or other page description languages from HTML/XHTML? Nope! The vastvastvastvast majority of pages on the web have are perfectly fine in XHTML/HTML.
And the real joke is that XHTML is all that different from HTML. Take a look at the HTML 4 spec, and then look at the XHTML spec... the only difference is that a proper XHTML doc has an xml-version tag, and the doctype is a little different. More nearly all purposes HTML 4= XHTML 1....

Alright.. I am a bastard... I made it up in a moment of wishful thinking, hopeing someone who really follows such things might have some tidbit about a real project (or at least a script) to put Illuminatus on the big or small screen....
It sounds like extending Soundexchange would work pretty well, if, say, the internet were divided geographically, and you could be sure all sides of the transaction happened on US soil.
Or maybe this is the RIAA's big international play, looking for international jurisdiction.
Also, the language refers to 'Webcasting', not 'Downloads'. Will that limit the scope? How would things on-the-internet-but-not-neccesarily-the-web (like Napster...FTP, etc) work? Unless webcasting has a really broad definition, they don't seem covered.
What bothers me more than per-person encryption is per-device encryption, similar to GemStar (Rocket eBook) and Audible.com (audiobooks). When you purchase content, it could ONLY be used on a specific device. I really hope music does not go this way...
Take a look at the IGN preview of Sega's Dream Studio , which looks to be a complete game building toolkit. It seems kind of cut-and-paste-y (it seems like you basically reuse game elements on the program discs), but if it supports some sort of easy, flexible scripting or programming language, it could easily play Hypercard or Macromedia Director to Sony's basic...

duh. The secret licencee is Apple.
Actually, the Aliens could have been using Appletalk!
Does it work on OS X?
Oh wait... I've got quicktime. Sorry.
I've become much more concious of security cameras, and even though I walk through life unarmed, I often get weird impulses to shoot out lights.
How about the released-for-radio-play singles as 'ad's for the album'... they should be considered 'liberated' from thier albums and free to trade.

You can now build pure Cocoa apps in Python...

I am pretty scared that anyone would call themself a fan of Ziff-Davis. Futurama, maybe.

It replaced Lambskin in most parts of the world. Why shouldn't HTML be next?

Has anyone written an Illuminatus script?
Has anything come out of the rumors that Sci-Fi channel will be producing an Illuminatus miniseries?
Well, the upside is that while web journalism is being stepped on, we can take comfort in the fact that the IOC's spokesman is named Dick Pound.
heehee. Dick. Pound. get it?
hee hee.
If we are all lucky, maybe ATI will let out some tantalizing details before they are supposed to, Like they did to Apple this summer .

nooo..... the point of the article is that most all young male gamers would recognize it. Read before you post, at least.

I don't see the advantage here? Wouldn't a privacy initiative cancel out (or at least diminish) publicity efforts?
