Umm... id Software games have always been OpenGL based. Seeing how the XBox only supports Direct3D, and I don't seen why John Carmack would waste the time porting the entire codebase to Direct3D.
My parents happen to own a Brother HL-1440 and they think it's terrific. I think the printer was bought back in 1998. Still running fine after I binged on it for printing out numerous essays and applications. I think the printer's quality is what you can expect for a sub-$500 piece of electronic gadgetry. I work--no frills--but for the price, it's Okay.
I also have a coder friend that also has a Brother laster printer and I don't think I've ever heard him complain about it ever. Maybe you're expecting too much?
AMD has had a history of not just working with processors, such as flash memory. It would only seem logical that AMD would expand revenues through market expansion.
I'm a CS student with very limited experience with both OpenGL/DirectX, but does the fact that OpenGL's association with C and DirectX's with C++ affect some developers' support for that library?
If mass-production automobile design could develop at this rate, we may very well see the "software phenomenon" in cars. Anyone care for a BMW 328i Version 2.2 Release V with Service Pack 6a?
Looks like even geeks now are overtaken by consumerism... Most of the items on the list are consumer electronics, which, personally, I live fine without. I computer and a few books on the shelf is good enough for me, buddy.

I have to use LaTeX in my EE classes, and I have to say that it is NOT superior to HTML. First of all the syntax is hard to type. Where are in HTML, you use tags, in LaTeX, you have to use \blah{foo} tags. This wouldn't be so bad if the tags were standarized. There are 2-3 tags sometimes for one same function, and these tags are based on certain builds of the compiler. That's right, you have to compile the.tex code after you type it in Emacs. This is really time consuming when you have to write, compile, and view in GSview, find out that you forgot to italicize that word, go back to Emacs, recompile, and then use GS. Also, on Solaris, you have to compile from.tex to.dvi, and then from.dvi to.ps. Waste of time! HTML is much faster in terms of formating text.

That's one small bug for open source, one giant bug for microsoftkind.
maybe they just need some "manual babes," ala. E3 style.
You assfuck, most production users install binary builds, and releases are the most stable way to do this.
