I never needed to either, but why the hell shouldn't I smoke a bowl every once in a while, or have a few shrooms? I don't need to, but do I NEED to drink coke, eat fast food, or many other things along these lines. As for me, I think a couple hits off the pipe is much more healthy than the cup of coffee most of you had this morning...
Well, I personally disagree with drug testing for any reason whatsoever. I think it's none of anyone's business what I do, so I agree with them not drug-testing. I go natural, no speed for me, im trying to phase caffiene out, but mountain dew is sooo good...
hmmm, interesting point..
I think it would be a small price to pay, and the point is, he can post it, just not on the front page, at least until he gets enough points or gets modded up...
Sony would never liscense porn on their console. Besides, the dev kit costs $18,000 last I heard, and thats just to be able to program on the PS2. The liscensing fees are probably much too steep (If sony, by some odd chance, decides to actually liscense it to the porno companies.) for any porn company to be interested in. PC adult games are much more profitable anyway(per unit sold), as there are no liscensing fees or outrageously expensive dev kits.
Well, I'm not that old, but IBM probably does have a case against them, if they desired to do such a thing. Maybe thats the shortage, they needed to make new logos that didnt say PS2. See, it's all a big conspiracy!!
PS2.ign.com had an
article
about the shortage. Apparently Sony is denying that the problem is DVD related:
The official reason, according to SCEA executives, is due to a shortage of various components that are crucial to the completion of each unit. Sony would not list the exact components, but Vice President of Marketing Andrew House stated that it had nothing to do with the DVD aspect of the machine.
Sony did modify the DVD hardware after the problems they had in Japan with the software DVD drivers, which are now fully implemented in hardware. They could be lying to save face, or some other component is having shortages. Rambus anyone?
I hate all this infighting among distros. Everyone who knows linux know that most distros have at least one or two redeeming qualities, even though RedHat might be one of the least. I personally use mandrake mostly, or the VALinux modded redhat, as I want the bleeding edge of everything, even if it means a crash every couple of weeks. I actually use BeOS mostly though, and I am forced into Windows until I can ditch my shitty
Efficient USB DSL modem.
But for god's sake, stop with the distro war posts.
I agree that the trial was a bit unfair, but I'd never heard that Jackson fell asleep during cross-exams. If so, then it should be fairly easy to get the apellate courts to side with them.
At least until the tech support lines fill up with millions of fscking complaints, but I digress..
Five months isn't actually a 'long' appeals process, at least when you compare it to some of the OJ Simpsomesque trials we've had lately. I really dont think it matters either way though, as it appears that MS has somewhat slacked off in the OS market, and are instead targeting on their '.NET Strategy', which I think is one of the stupidest ideas ever. I'd much rather have my nice dual P3, BeOS and GoBe than an MS Office that's even slower and buggier than it is now.
But if you buy a DTV now, youll end up having to buy a decoder box anyway, at the very least. I know the MPAA isnt dumb enough to piss off the (few) people who actually have them already. As for me, I want one of the Princeton Graphics HD monitors, esp. the 36" model.
Age of Wonders is a great game, Age of Empires 2 is a good games too, im really waiting for Warcraft III right now though, and Black and White. Black and white especially, looks like it has a great interface.
I like the fact that everything can be posted, but no one has to read post from people with low points. Plus, the risk goes up depending on where you post, and how many points you have. It gets the job done though, comments from people with lots of points get read, and they get more points. Trolls either don't get seen or lose points, and alot from the sound of it.

If you read carefully, it's not a delay, but they are halving the amount of ps2's available for launch.

Let's get the networks on the phone. An idea for an actually interesting Survivor show...

Wow, finally got a /. account..
Valenti looked like such an idiot. I think I'm scarred for life after watching that..
