wait a sec, a company whose business model is that it sues any other company trying to implement DRM? How sweet is that!?!
Not a bad idea... get lots and lots of patents on technologies that could possibly be used to limit personal computing (like DRM) and just sue any violators (I'm sure MS would be in the crossfire more than a few times)
It's that the Wai Wai (and many other cultures) WE'RE treated as children who didn't know any better, and were thus introduced to 'civilization' by missionaries/conqureors.
When did Muslims start making pilgramages to Rome? I thought it was Mecca. Silly me...
The point is that an otherwise prospering culture has been given the shiny beads treatment. A couple simple rules to life: Diversity = good, Homogenity = death.
whu? Even IF one has matter-to-energy-to-matter conversion, it's still WAYS easier to just send it thru wires (or EPS conduits)
However, they may want to invest in some transformers (no, not the robots) - seems to be way too much current making its way to the consoles around the ship =P
I'm sorry, but the desktop looks dated and unprofessional. The icons, while detailed, lack a unifying theme other than photorealistic. OS9, OSX and BeOS have (about 99%) of their icons under their respective unified look. Dare is say it, it looks like a bunch of Linux icons I saw about 5 years ago.
I think people should put more interest in OpenBeOS than some new Amiga-ish thing
Sure there is the Amiga name, but there is so much more that solidarity behind (Open)BeOS can offer, increased driver support, ports to other platforms, and more robust and numerous applications can be a boon to the OSS community. Yes, Linux and *BSD are nice, but as a desktop machine, I have yet to see anything (on x86) rival the grace of BeOS.

I know if *I* lived in NJ I would want to move elsewhere as soon as possible!
how many people actually consider an outlook-killer such a killer app as to be worth $5 million?
Imagine if that got put into something else like OpenBeOS (sure, I'm a bit biased towards BeOS =] )

What is with this rumor that all programmers are fat??

the older decision in "Lawyers vs. Justice" has been overturned! Here's hoping the "Reversal of Freedom Act" will be overturned soon too!

damn me for not including a link before, so google would pick it up!

Mmm, recursion.
That just means more Bullet Bills and Cannons and Koopas to avoid!
"I swear, it was a different Zeph Campbell!"
Something about grass being green and water being wet...
"and how would you store the signature of a scent in a database?"
Since scents are just chemicals, one could filter out the background scents, and then store a list of the remaining chemicals in a db.
"from the strap-on dept."
umm... michael? dare we ask?...
It's that the Wai Wai (and many other cultures) WE'RE treated as children who didn't know any better, and were thus introduced to 'civilization' by missionaries/conqureors.
Ah hell, I'll just link to it: "Missionary: Impossible"

I'm surprised that no one noticed several screenshots had references to 1984 by George Orwell. The reviewer having fun at MS's expense I guess.
No, it's how I judge the effort and thought put into the GUI (there wasn't much put into the MorphOS desktop - it's Amiga + skinning)
The GUI of course is the first thing ppl judge (whether they want to or not), and NOPE, this fails to impress or seem innovative.

no, its quake and quake 2, both of which you can get the source for.

or even easier than stealing: casting your own.
actually, my first question was "are there any screenshots?"
well, since the cause of the coloring on mars is Iron Oxide, I think they should be called Rusty
*ba dum!*
