Initially I was horrified at the thought of AOL adds all over the place, but then look at what AOL did with winamp - basically nothing. Same development team, I haven't seen any AOL logos or anything of the type (though I haven't used it much), etc.
I completely agree, and you opened my eyes to what a hypocrite I'm being - no matter how I try to rationalize my mp3 collection, I am stealing. there's no way around it. I do believe the artists should get paid, and so I will take up your suggestion and frequent emusic.com and such.
just wanted to know that your words aren't falling on deaf ears.
I looked on the page, and didn't see anything about what comes for the 40 dollars.
Is it just the CD? Because I'd rather just donate 40 dollars and download the ISO when I can get it. (Which would seem to be less than 2 weeks after the release).
first, explain to me how I trolled. It seems to me that I expressed a viewpoint that was contrary to yours and you called troll.
second, you make a good point, business exist to make money and not to care about the end user, and one way to make money is to have people perfer their product over competitors' (when they exist...) and how can they do that? By having a product that is easy to use by the end users.
And yes, infact I've used XP quite a bit and it is a vast improvement over 98 or 2k, and it's what windows should have been in the first place or at least after 95.
As I already stated, I don't hate Microsoft, but I do hate Windows. I primarily use linux because it gets the job done, however if Microsoft came out with XP instead of 95 or 98, I'd still be using that.
First: I'm not antiMS. I really don't like windows, and I really don't like MS's business practices, but that doesn't mean that I think all their products are bad: I like their hardware, I like their games, I think IE is a good browser, etc. So don't take this as a blind antiMS rant.
But I am absolutely sick of Microsoft expanding into so many territories. Why? Because they don't care about what they already produced.
Windows, it has a huge reputation of being unstable, but MS doesn't really do anything about it being unstable. Since they have basically control over the desktop market, they really don't bother to care about the end user.
Xbox, I have heard nothing but complaints about this thing. The 40% defunct rate, the horrible controllers. I remember hearing about how bad the controllers were from many different articles when Xbox was first debuted at E3 or wherever. And yet microsoft didn't care enough to change them.
Sure, the monitoring system would be pointless in terms of saving ourselves, but where it would be most useful would be in extending the anarchy before the impact. Say from 30days to a full year.
A full year of being able to use the pickup line "Look, the earths about to end, there's no reason not to go out with me?"
I mean that reason alone is worth building the system, not to mention the alcohol and drug orgy that would errupt! oh god, it's like some beautiful dreamworld.

"How can software/software tell the difference between a movie that I made myself or one who's encryption has been broken??"
You must certainly think a lot of your camera work.
Well I've got news for you, you're not that good.
And your directing is stiff and uninmaginative.
do blind people even go to the movies?
but does pi contain itself? (without the decimal point).
:D
no it's not a stupid question, we're dealing with infinity here.
When are they going to get to the fireworks factory!?
a chicken comes first only if you define an almost-chicken as a chicken, which I do not.
the chicken and the egg situation is not really a situation.
the egg came first. why? because anything that is not born out of an egg can not be a chicken, by my definition of a chicken.
so there is no way for the chicken to come first.
Flooz is just like regular money only... more fun.
Yes, PB&J MRE's.
"Ugh. The jelly soaked into the bread again! I told those science nerds to give me the jelly in a seperate container."
and exactly how is this relevant?
I said this before when N'Sync was going to be in episode II.
Who among us wouldn't do the exact same thing if we had the resources?
yeah but this is starwars!
(rolls eyes).

AOL did buy Nullsoft right?
/clap clap clap.

gj.
the page and irc channel are great resources.
I especially liked the 0.01 kernel walkthrough
"Unfortunately, I seriously doubt there would be any real military uses for quite a while"
how is that unfortunate?
#include
int main()
{
cout "Hello, World";
return 1;
}
as far as I know, the root hole was fixed in 0.2.3
but it makes the question of why data's head never exploded all the more mysterious.

while funny, my money would be on this being correct. =\
I've got things to do! my god!

I don't know. I'm done ranting.

I would believe it to be 1800 dollars US.
I mean since they are going to sell a grand total of four, they'll have to make up money somehow.
well I see the screenshots, but where are the shots of the processor melting into the pcb.
because we haven't paid 9.95 to EA. or at least I haven't.
or have I?
