Hmmm, yes, more guys with girlfriends that like geeks should go back to school and leave their girlfriends all lonely and bored. This will fit into my plans quite nicely....mwahahahaha!
Receptionist: Sir, a man just swung down through the open window and gave me this envelope with a million dollars in it, and a letter instructing us to fight the stupid/phoney patents we've been seeing.
Duke Lawyer: Who was that masked man?!
Receptionist: I'm not sure, but he had ebay written on his chest.
Duke Lawyer: He must be one of those out of work bay area IT people. Throw it in with the rest of the "donations".
The assumption that all games today are not as entertaining as yesteryear's is really starting to get on my nerves.
Guess what, you can't compare games like Asteroids and Super Mario Bros to a game like Quake or Everquest. Why? Simple. Games back in the day were appealing for one of two reasons. One, because we're all a bunch of geeks and crap like computers and game consoles interests us, or two, because it was an entertaining means of telling a story.
Nowadays, the great games are the ones that are innovative or play well. I play these games because it's fun trying to kill a baddy that's ducking behind something, or because I can explore, horde and try things, not because it has neat graphics or a great story (athough those are bonuses). If I was in search of a great story, I wouldn't buy a game, I'd go buy a book.
Nah, u got the Windows XP version all wrong. It will run stable, but every once and awhile your neighbour will take control of it by typing 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000 into his/her remote while its pointed at your house.
a little steep on price for a limited functionality controller.
If you're really looking for a cheaper "do-all" controller check out the MS Strategic Commander. It's pitched as a controller for "strategic" games, but I use it for FPS games too...its nice to be able to move, jump and change weapons at the same time without double-jointed fingers.
Digipen offers a curriculum to turn you into a programmer for Nintendo products. I'm not sure how global the skills that you learn there are but they are specifically a Nintendo console school. It is also only for residents of the US.
CDIS is another school in Vancouver with a gaming curriculum that lasts 3 years and costs about $30 grand Canadian to complete. They offer a bit more global game training then simply console. Their website is at http://www.artschool.com
Although these schools teach you a lot about game specific fields, they are a lot like college or junior college is to university. That kind of education will be very specialized and they tend to gloss over some of the more important aspects (MATH, etc).
I've taken two years of computer science and I currently have a job programming, and I've sat in a class at CDIS and from what I've seen it would probably be better to get a CS-degree from a good school. Not only will it cost less, but it will help you to understand how the whole computer works and the math/logic behind it rather than just how C++/DirectX and OpenGL work.
Slashdot Mirror
If you RTFA, it says, "the main aim of the new combined product"....meaning it has Firewall AND Antivirus AND AntiSpyware in one package.

You might want to try a new challenge, like challenging Slashdot posters to google before they type.
That's not funny, Teletubbies ARE scary.
like Denis Leary said, "marijuana doesn't lead to harder drugs, it leads to carpentry!"
anyone else see this as nokia/sybian phone?
i mean, there's always been jokes about getting calls on a phone set to vibrate in your pants pocket, but that would be taking it one step further...

"I mean damn shouldnt the NSA outlaw us putting DNA into space and maps"
or maybe just modify the DNA a little bit to represent a human-like race that enjoys aliens as tasty snacks?

Whoa, this changes everything. I mean, whoa, does this mean Larry and Andy taught Keanu some new words? WHOA!
