Microsoft still does the same thing. Take directX for example. If you download it and install it, it won't work without a reboot. But if you pay for the "corporate" version, it miraculously doesn't need a reboot any more.
Definitely.... Down here (au) it's Lego, too.. You play with your Lego, and it's made up of Lego bricks, or pieces... The first time I head somebody say "legos" I was like 15 years old, and it was the most horrible wrong-sounding thing I'd ever heard.
...only the pieces I used as chew toys to help me focus on building (kind of like gum, but much grosser)
Haha, that reminds me of my misspent youth, back in the days of "running around rooms munching pills and listening to repetetive electronic music", I came across the discovery that the best thing in the entire world for "the grinds" is a lego tyre. All my pac-man buddies loved me for that. Old squinto the magnificent even complained about not having a lego tyre on new years just past:)
We don't think "the efforts by environmentalists to get global warming under control as an attack on America and The American Way Of Life(tm)". But a lot of us (myself included) do think that global warming is just something that happens... You know, mammoths, ice age... and do you see any glaciers out the window? That's right, earth's average temperature from year to year naturally swings from century to century, aeon to aeon.... And maybe it's not all our fault, and not something to be desperately (attempted to) put off at all costs?
The answer to that is simple. Make up the difference in tax. So vijay sixpack working in the call center makes himself a decent indian wage, and dell is coughing up the difference to US minimum wage in tax which goes back into creating jobs over there for americans.
I'd say it's highly likely that there was a bloke named jesus who went around bigging himself up as the son of god, and he was probably a nice helpful guy who helped out the unfortunates, but it's details of the story that are questionable.
Gimp is the devil. It does a lot of stuff, and it's awesome that we have a Free alternative, but if you're on windows, use photoshop. Or if you don't want to cough the large sum / pirate it, PSP is pretty decent. The interface for GIMP and just the way it does things, is awful. It's like reverse polish notation but without the usefulness.
One night my then girlfriend went ape at me in a fit of madness, ripped out half my hair and beat me black and blue
Ya big girls' blouse. If somebody's having at me, I'll do what I can to stop them. If it's a 6'2" 120 kg bloke I'll have to crack him a couple, but if it's a woman, I'm sure you could get away with a pimp-slap followed by "clearly I'm happy to drop you if you keep this up".

I thought nerds wrote "ghey" to signify you're drawing it out, instead of gaaaaaaaaaaaay.
Bah, just get your balls out of her purse when she's not looking and buy one, tell her it's something else... Besides, coming off a 250 at 100 ks an hour will kill you just as dead as coming off a 600 or a 1300 at 100 ks an hour.
NO, 16? Getouttatown! That could explain why you think there was no crap music in the 70s, because you never heard it? And it's bollocks... a bullock is a male cow.
Wolfenstein 3d could not be purchased by germans because it depicted the swastika, hence violating local laws. It was later released with the swastikas removed and (iirc) hitler's moustache was gone from the paintings.
Man, it's nearly 2004... Doom source has been available for just a little while now. Doom did not use raycasting. It used bsp trees and some speicalised texture rendering... It's a lot easier to texture a polygon when you know it's going to be standing straight up and it's always gonna be a rectangle. Floors polygons weren't sorted at all, just drawn on a sector-by sector basis after the walls were transformed.
If people can nail you to a cross, you're not god. You're a man. Of course the annoying thing is that none of this garbage will have even been posted by religous zealots, just trolls. We all know the religous zealots here are always fired up about vi or emacs:)
You know what they say, once you start to lie you have to keep making new lies to cover up the fact that you're lying. Lucas has lied to the fans for years.
Here's a tip: it's all lies. The force isn't real, there's no spaceships, and amidala doesn't exist.

Coz GM's known for making things that last? Man this is news to me.*

Oh cummon, it's on topic!
That my friend, is way more than we need to know about you.

Not only that, but it may very well be the first technology to come out with fully OpenGL-accelerated 2D
If SGI wasn't doing it years ago.
Jeebus, I fucking suck. And I used to like my uid :'(

Could be worse... It coulda been "come with me if you want to live"
Ready for the real shocker? I'm 16.

Dude, this is slashdot. Most of us _are_ one of these. That's why it's so fun in here :)

Sigh, why did this guy get marked as a troll?
:-)
Yeah I agree... Sure, if he wanted to charge people to walk over his bridge, but past his house? Cummon, people!

That's interesting stuff... Can we work out why and apply it to people who have aids? Or is it just the ships are too sterile or some such?
