We'll give you gamers some slashdot goodness.
I agree tho, this article was stirring it up a bit... but it all depends how you look at it. Who cares about the mood of the article? I don't. I just care about the facts and the fact is; id software works hard with video companies to provide us with a better gaming experience than companies like Epic and Valve. I'm sure they all do stuff with vid companies, but realistically speaking Id does the most because they are the community benchmark for shooters... and cornerstone for all graphics to come. Just look at Doom 3's graphics and try to tell me you've seen anything remotely playable that will be anything like it! Nope. Nothing. Id has the guts to spend cash on working WITH the hardware companies, rather than just building stuff that works with status quo. It shows they care more about their products & customers, IMO.
This certainly is one of the smartest posts I've seen today. Video card compaines today respect Id Software and use them as a benchmark in even the earliest tests, so why bother other game designers with the extra work/hassle? People complain that Q3 benefits, but they also lose out in the time it takes to help provide specs to video card companies -- even if it is in their own interest.
That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. As if Carmack would cripple a game just to suit himself. You offer no proof and no meat to your comment... it's just a lot of hot air. And double damn the moderator who gave you a point for saying that crap!
You just proved them right. I say steamroll whoever did this, and whoever might have done this.
US needs to set an example, and the example is that countries everywhere must kill terrorists before they get out of hand.
Forget about jail. It's war. Bin Ladin is the menace behind that horror yesterday. If not, who cares. He has been spouting anti-americanism since day one and he should die for his crimes and so should anyone else to spout such evil.
He's targeting Mac bigtime, because he sees a future in it. In the not-so-distant future, I believe that a lot of gamers might switch to Mac after MS puts all their effort into a standalone system which is what we're seeing with this Xbox console.
When MS supports Xbox more than any other product, you'll all wish you had switched!:)
Just watch MS release MS Office for Xbox... and then just abandon the whole PC market.
Are you nuts!??!?! Many people use Mac and Linux for games. Linux was practically created to be a lighter OS for gaming (or maybe it just worked out that way hehe).
Most hardcore gamers out there use Linux because it is so much better than Windows for playing and serving.
~dolo -- wants to install Linux but is afraid of being labeled a geek!:P
Some sites use popups for positive content, so it's better to just block the DNS.
I hate looking up information and accidentally getting a site that opens a whole slew of popunders & popups. I think one should be allowed, but it should have site related content and not be a redirect... ie: site content.:)
Ad Aware really worked for me to get rid of this spyware garbage like Gator. I hate spyware.:(
The net seems to be eroding to the point where great content is buried on sites that people haven't heard of because of all the white noise and interferrence.
Customers might never get the respect they deserve, because they are considered needy and stupid regardless of what industry you look at.
The mood of the human race is to survive at any cost (to some sucker).
I wonder what will happen when people look beyond this whole consumerism thing and evolve out of it.
Windows users read on if you want to permanently kill banners. Instead of getting the banners when you surf the net, you will get a 'page not found', and you will not give the greedy webmaster any money from banner revenue!
How I get rid of them is by creating a Windows HOSTS file in the windows directory. That is just a file called HOSTS (no extension). There is a hosts.sam file that you can open in notepad, to get an idea of what to do but remember, this is just a sample file (*.sam, get it?).
Most of these banner sites run using a special server for their ads that serves the ads to the public, which is what this HOSTS file will be set up to ban. And you want to kill the image host and the link host so remember they are sometimes the same but sometimes different.
First get the DNS of the host you want to ban by reading the page source which can be done if you save the page (for all those lame javascript page source blockers) or by right clicking --> view source.
Then add the host to the HOSTS file in your windows directory and set the IP to be that of 127.0.0.1 (which is your localhost IP, thus causing banners to not work), like so:
# blah banner banning stuff goes here
# ie:
#
# 127.0.0.1 www.flowgo.com
# here are some samples from my HOSTS file
Like a falling stone, we present ourselves, allowing natural forces to work in our favor.
The following is how a Buddhist would have revealed the post:
"Religion has a place in society. Immorality has substance to those peoples that embrace common values. The young lady Smith was indeed Wiccan, and she was persecuted for this belief."
And that is all you had to say... but I'd doubt you would receive a 5 for that... or would yoU?:)

"I measure perfectly every common conception and believe it lightly into the year." - Scott Leonard
The War on Drugs has been a consistently neglected topic in discussions surrounding this federal election. My question is, do you believe the War on Drugs has been an unqualified success, and if not, what would you change about it if elected president?
Bush:I would make dope cheaper.
Gore:I would make dope more accessible for the needy. No more going to Guido!
2) Minority Religions...
by Electric Angst
What will you do to protect the rights of atheists and those who hold minority faiths, such as Wicca, Santaria, Shinto, et al?
Bush:I will give Satanists high office.
Gore:I think Harry Christnia deserves to get more out of life. I'll give him some soft money to get into heaven. As for Santaria -- I understand that is the Pagan relegion dedicated to the worship of Santa Claus, who is a fat jolly man that wears a red jolly jumper suit. He can move to Florida if I'm elected. That North Pole must be cold!
3) Why give a tax cut?
by funkman
With the surplus, everyone has been saying "Let's have a tax cut, Let's have a tax cut." In the meantime, Alan Greenspan and friends are trying to keep inflation and the speed of the growing economy in check so it doesn't burst. Which they are doing by raising interest rates periodically. (6 times this year)
A tax cut flies in the face of what Greenspan is trying to do. A tax cut will inject more money into the economy and do what Greenspan is preventing.
Why is a tax cut so big? Wouldn't the money be better spent on the deficit so when worse times roll along, a tax cut can be easily given by not paying as much on the debt?
Bush:Taxes are a really easy way to swing the vote.
Gore:As voters, we need to look at the bypartisan influence stemming from post-Keensian spending thrifs. Cutting taxes is important because it proves that the candidate can do the impossible. If you elect me, I will put more money in your pocket and make more for projects all over America! Cutting taxes and increasing spending while lowering the deficit, proves that zero energy can actually generate some energy! Who would not vote for someone who can break a natural law?
4) electoral reform
by carleton
Some people, especially those that favor '3-rd' party candidates, have called for the ending of the electoral college system to be replaced by a simple purely popular vote, or at least allowing for splitting the electoral votes by each state. The best recent example was the Bush-Clinton election. Clinton received 43% of the popular vote (but a sufficient majority of the electoral vote), whereas Perot got at least 10% of the popular vote but zero electoral votes. If memory serves, Vermont is the only state which does currently allow for its votes to be split; if someone wins 60% of the Vermont popular vote, they get 2 votes and the 40% candidate gets 1. This in contrast to California, where someone can get 51% of the popular vote, and therefore gets 53 (or whatever it is nowadays) electoral votes. What is your position on this issue?
Bush:No third party candidate is ever going to win an election, and therefore anyone who would support such a waste of time and money is a complete bafoon.
Gore:I was once in great support of the third party Rhino Party in Quebec, back in the late 1930's. I had a lover who lived in Montreal and she told me that I had to follow the big Rhino to power. Because of the Rhino, I am who I am today -- the next president of this great Nation. If you elect me, I will annex Quebec from Canada, so that I can have an affair on my wife with Celine Dion.
5)How Do You Feel About Intellectual Property?
by Phil Gregory
In this age of the Internet, intellectual property has become a very important concept to many people. Many companies make their living on the artificial scarcity provided by intellectual property laws, selling information that they have either created or aggregated. Some others, mostly in the Free Software world, make their living seemingly in spite of these laws, selling their services based on information that is freely given.
Do you feel that out current system of intellectual property is a good one? Which parts of it (e.g. trademarks, patents, copyrights) do you feel are well suited to the world of the Internet and which do you think need to be changed (and, if changes are needed, what changes are needed)?
Bush:I believe that if you own something, you will have bought it. Anyone who says they can think up new ideas is either a couch potato or a pot philosopher. Tell me now, do you think either kind of person deserves a million or more dollars? Part of the reason these people come up with new ideas is because they are losers trying to get out of poverty. I believe we should enact laws stipulating that inventors remain broke to ensure better inventions.
Gore:If you are stupid enough to trust anyone on this internet, you are stupid enough to be taken advantage of. Get a lawyer if you have a good idea. If you don't have money, download a NDA (non disclosure agreement) and ask that any potential investor must sign it. I think our system today works. It might not always turn up the right results, but it actually does work.
6) Encryption....
by SquadBoy
Many tech people think that strong encryption is one of the best ways we have to protect freedom both now and for future generations. For example to preserve information that future not so friendly governments may think we don't need to have and to make sure that things we want to have remain private remain private. Given this what would you do to help preserve our right to privacy through the use of strong encryption? Also in a related question what are your thoughts and what do you plan to do about the fact that we can not export many forms of strong encryption?
Bush:Nice question. We do not need to spend any money on encryption as a nation. The Warez community is stimulating our market to develop better encryption for us. Why would I ever spend any money when some big company is going to do it for me? Plus, too strong encryption will lead to a disaster if we were ever hit by a giant pulse bomb, like in that hit TV show, Dark Angel. I think we need to put money into decryption, rather than encryption.
Gore:What he said.
7) Rising Political Protests
by sterno
In the last year or so we have seen a tremendous escalation in the quantity and size of political protests against globalization and the rising power of corporate multi-nationals. Do you believe that these people have reason to be concerned? If you do believe that they have reason for concern, what steps would you take as president to deal with their concerns?
Bush:We need more guns in schools.
Gore:Yes, definately more guns.
8) Asteroid Defenses
by Ethelred Unraed
Would you renew funding of programs to research and develop global defense systems against asteroids or other such threats from space?
Bush:Yes.
Gore:Well, I think falling asteroids are really just like the fable of Chicken Little. The sky is not falling. It is never going to fall and it never has fallen, except that time about a gazllion years ago, when the dinosaurs bit the dust. Can you honestly say that we are at risk? One in a gazillion... hrmph!
9) The Future of the Country, and of Humanity
by 11223
I'm very concerned with the future of the country, and about what our national mission seems to be. Looking back through American history, every period seems to have a defining popular mission - like the "manifest destiny" movement in the 19th century, the Depression, World War II, and the Cold War. During these times, there would be one struggle or idea that captivated the attention of the nation, sort of providing a national mission.
I'm a little confused as I look around today. What is our mission? To me, it seems to be "to watch TV and use the Internet." What would you say the defining national mission of today is? What should it be? Furthermore, how would you show this in your activities as a lawmaker? (For instance, if our national mission is the pursuit of science, then would you increase funding for scientific pursuits in the budget?)
Bush:Did you see Dark Angel last night? Great episode.
Gore:Just look into the little glowing box and forget about what I'm doing!
Patents may secure a company's income, while at the same time, the patents will prevent eutopian software configurations.
Are we saying, as a community, that we would prefer to run shitty, expensive software?
Let's leave this door open.

If you want to use it on NT, try checking in the windows dir to see if you have a hosts.sam file.

What Buddhist resents?
We accept and persuade. We never resent.
Like a falling stone, we present ourselves, allowing natural forces to work in our favor.
The following is how a Buddhist would have revealed the post:
"Religion has a place in society. Immorality has substance to those peoples that embrace common values. The young lady Smith was indeed Wiccan, and she was persecuted for this belief."
And that is all you had to say... but I'd doubt you would receive a 5 for that... or would yoU? :)

Fix?
The War on Drugs has been a consistently neglected topic in discussions surrounding this federal election. My question is, do you believe the War on Drugs has been an unqualified success, and if not, what would you change about it if elected president?
Bush: I would make dope cheaper.
Gore: I would make dope more accessible for the needy. No more going to Guido!
2) Minority Religions... by Electric Angst
What will you do to protect the rights of atheists and those who hold minority faiths, such as Wicca, Santaria, Shinto, et al?
Bush: I will give Satanists high office.
Gore: I think Harry Christnia deserves to get more out of life. I'll give him some soft money to get into heaven. As for Santaria -- I understand that is the Pagan relegion dedicated to the worship of Santa Claus, who is a fat jolly man that wears a red jolly jumper suit. He can move to Florida if I'm elected. That North Pole must be cold!
3) Why give a tax cut? by funkman
With the surplus, everyone has been saying "Let's have a tax cut, Let's have a tax cut." In the meantime, Alan Greenspan and friends are trying to keep inflation and the speed of the growing economy in check so it doesn't burst. Which they are doing by raising interest rates periodically. (6 times this year)
A tax cut flies in the face of what Greenspan is trying to do. A tax cut will inject more money into the economy and do what Greenspan is preventing.
Why is a tax cut so big? Wouldn't the money be better spent on the deficit so when worse times roll along, a tax cut can be easily given by not paying as much on the debt?
Bush: Taxes are a really easy way to swing the vote.
Gore: As voters, we need to look at the bypartisan influence stemming from post-Keensian spending thrifs. Cutting taxes is important because it proves that the candidate can do the impossible. If you elect me, I will put more money in your pocket and make more for projects all over America! Cutting taxes and increasing spending while lowering the deficit, proves that zero energy can actually generate some energy! Who would not vote for someone who can break a natural law?
4) electoral reform by carleton
Some people, especially those that favor '3-rd' party candidates, have called for the ending of the electoral college system to be replaced by a simple purely popular vote, or at least allowing for splitting the electoral votes by each state. The best recent example was the Bush-Clinton election. Clinton received 43% of the popular vote (but a sufficient majority of the electoral vote), whereas Perot got at least 10% of the popular vote but zero electoral votes. If memory serves, Vermont is the only state which does currently allow for its votes to be split; if someone wins 60% of the Vermont popular vote, they get 2 votes and the 40% candidate gets 1. This in contrast to California, where someone can get 51% of the popular vote, and therefore gets 53 (or whatever it is nowadays) electoral votes. What is your position on this issue?
Bush: No third party candidate is ever going to win an election, and therefore anyone who would support such a waste of time and money is a complete bafoon.
Gore: I was once in great support of the third party Rhino Party in Quebec, back in the late 1930's. I had a lover who lived in Montreal and she told me that I had to follow the big Rhino to power. Because of the Rhino, I am who I am today -- the next president of this great Nation. If you elect me, I will annex Quebec from Canada, so that I can have an affair on my wife with Celine Dion.
5)How Do You Feel About Intellectual Property? by Phil Gregory
In this age of the Internet, intellectual property has become a very important concept to many people. Many companies make their living on the artificial scarcity provided by intellectual property laws, selling information that they have either created or aggregated. Some others, mostly in the Free Software world, make their living seemingly in spite of these laws, selling their services based on information that is freely given.
Do you feel that out current system of intellectual property is a good one? Which parts of it (e.g. trademarks, patents, copyrights) do you feel are well suited to the world of the Internet and which do you think need to be changed (and, if changes are needed, what changes are needed)?
Bush: I believe that if you own something, you will have bought it. Anyone who says they can think up new ideas is either a couch potato or a pot philosopher. Tell me now, do you think either kind of person deserves a million or more dollars? Part of the reason these people come up with new ideas is because they are losers trying to get out of poverty. I believe we should enact laws stipulating that inventors remain broke to ensure better inventions.
Gore: If you are stupid enough to trust anyone on this internet, you are stupid enough to be taken advantage of. Get a lawyer if you have a good idea. If you don't have money, download a NDA (non disclosure agreement) and ask that any potential investor must sign it. I think our system today works. It might not always turn up the right results, but it actually does work.
6) Encryption.... by SquadBoy
Many tech people think that strong encryption is one of the best ways we have to protect freedom both now and for future generations. For example to preserve information that future not so friendly governments may think we don't need to have and to make sure that things we want to have remain private remain private. Given this what would you do to help preserve our right to privacy through the use of strong encryption? Also in a related question what are your thoughts and what do you plan to do about the fact that we can not export many forms of strong encryption?
Bush: Nice question. We do not need to spend any money on encryption as a nation. The Warez community is stimulating our market to develop better encryption for us. Why would I ever spend any money when some big company is going to do it for me? Plus, too strong encryption will lead to a disaster if we were ever hit by a giant pulse bomb, like in that hit TV show, Dark Angel. I think we need to put money into decryption, rather than encryption.
Gore: What he said.
7) Rising Political Protests by sterno
In the last year or so we have seen a tremendous escalation in the quantity and size of political protests against globalization and the rising power of corporate multi-nationals. Do you believe that these people have reason to be concerned? If you do believe that they have reason for concern, what steps would you take as president to deal with their concerns?
Bush: We need more guns in schools.
Gore: Yes, definately more guns.
8) Asteroid Defenses by Ethelred Unraed
Would you renew funding of programs to research and develop global defense systems against asteroids or other such threats from space?
Bush: Yes.
Gore: Well, I think falling asteroids are really just like the fable of Chicken Little. The sky is not falling. It is never going to fall and it never has fallen, except that time about a gazllion years ago, when the dinosaurs bit the dust. Can you honestly say that we are at risk? One in a gazillion... hrmph!
9) The Future of the Country, and of Humanity by 11223
I'm very concerned with the future of the country, and about what our national mission seems to be. Looking back through American history, every period seems to have a defining popular mission - like the "manifest destiny" movement in the 19th century, the Depression, World War II, and the Cold War. During these times, there would be one struggle or idea that captivated the attention of the nation, sort of providing a national mission.
I'm a little confused as I look around today. What is our mission? To me, it seems to be "to watch TV and use the Internet." What would you say the defining national mission of today is? What should it be? Furthermore, how would you show this in your activities as a lawmaker? (For instance, if our national mission is the pursuit of science, then would you increase funding for scientific pursuits in the budget?)
Bush: Did you see Dark Angel last night? Great episode.
Gore: Just look into the little glowing box and forget about what I'm doing!
Bush: Any questions?
Gore: What he said.
