Early reviews are always like this. Except in rare cases when something is undeniably awful, being in on a 'sneak peak' makes a person feel like an insider... part of the team. I think that, previuosly mentioned perks of being a hardware reviewer aside; this feeling alone accounts for a lot of over positive reviews.
The same is true of anything. I saw a pre screening of Samuel Jackson in shaft and LOVED it. Why? I don't know now.
Is it possible to get paid writing open source code for companies that don't provide software as their business? Aren't the guys working on cinepaint, for example, doing just that?
Are these compelling features to anybody? It seems to me like Photoshop is a product that's just reached the limit of being able to produce worthwhile upgrades. I'm sure a lot of these features are nice, but come on. Photoshop 6 does the job just fine. Version 7 is better, but a couple hundred dollars better? The same goes for CS and now CS2. I applaud adobe for making what is, to my mind, one of the most usable pieces of software ever given complexity of the job it does, but you've got to let your customers off the hamster wheel upgrade cycle at some point... don't you?
No. Most of us don't understand the source. It would be insecure to allow us to compile our own software if we couldn't personally audit it. In the end, I think what he's saying is that the whole idea of programmable computing is insecure.
Here's an idea; instead of constantly trying to make your computer trustworthy, just stop trusting it.
Portage doesn't work as well on Redhat or Debian systems as it does on Gentoo. The beautiful magic of Autopackage, as I understand it, is that one package works for all distributions. The theory is that devlopers will then only have to release one autopackage instead of making ebuilds, debs, rpms and whatever other packages the seventeen thousand faces of Linux are asking for these days.
"cluster", "renderfarm"; whatever it is, I'm sure they let students render film projects on it... I mean if nobody's signed up to check their hotmail account or type a book report.
He can do for Ender what he did for the Illiad. It was nice to see someone get the whole Achilles-switching-sides-and-joining-the-Trojans thing right for a change.
And there's no better way to learn computer science than by handwriting C and assembly on a college ruled notebook and making your teacher 'compile' it in her head.
I'm annoyed that kubuntu has to be themed in blue. Everyone bitches about Ubuntu being brown, but it's distinctive. I wish these guys could get on the same branding bandwagon as the rest of the Ubuntu team.
The krone experiment? I remember a late 80's spy thriller with a sci-fi twist at the end. It takes them most of the book to realize they're not dealing with a Soviet superweapon, just an out of control black hold punching holes in the planet.
That money's needed for faith based initiatives, abstinence-only education and 'my-granpappy-ain't-no-monkey' stickers for textbooks.
Question; can they save money by shutting down the analysis portion and just collecting raw data until more generous hands are on the budgetary purse strings?
I will keep my dvd copy of Crossroads as well thank you. Ralph Maccio's apocalyptic guitar-off against satanic Steve Vai must sit on the shelf and gather real physical dust alongside Road House and Red Dawn. (Don't ask me why a Maccio 'c' is betwixt Swazye 'r's. You have your organization and I have mine.
You're lucky. I've lost windows installs to indiscriminantly removing spyware with ad-aware. Those guys are getting sneaky enough to do some damage on the way out.
Yes, and NSA would be able to look at your porn. The result would be you spying on spys spying on your own porn. I think I just developed quantum masturbation... I'm going to go clear some shelf space for my Nobel.
I read your post twice and can't understand a word of it. Is it some kind of code or are you a raving lunatic. I feel like you have something to say, but it's totally lost among the various threads of your Cali-spiracy theory.

When do we get to put a sticker on the bible?
I used to keep extra large pizzas in my dirty laundry. I could keep pizza in my dorm room for days without worrying about sharing.

Perhaps even better, he could have locked those paintings in a vault and his heirs could let people see them once every ten years or so.

the image of thousands of pasty man-boobs flopping around in the pale flicker of computer monitors has scarred me for life. thanks.

There aren't any PSPs at my EB or else I would have dropped three hundred bucks that I don't have.
yeah, i was kidding, thanks for the update.

Okay so this replicating robot walks into a bar, right... Sorry, man, I got nothing...

If the slashdot community stopped talking out there asses, there would be no need for moderation because the forums would be empty.
911 sure as shit IS a telecom service offered to the public.

Is this over the quintillion dollars lost on the 200 million billion man hours that their employees waste deleting the stuff every morning?
