M$oft says something to paint themselves in a good light, we slam it with, 'they must be lying, it's a bunch of FUD, they're just hiding the truth....etc'
M$oft says something bad, which casts them in a bit of a bad light, we immediately take it as gospel.
Fact: The average consumer is more aware of problems with M$oft security due to the prevalence of that information itself. (iNet, popular news media, print, etc).
Fact: The average consumer is more aware of alternatives to M$oft products, IE, Linux, MacOS, *shudder* Lindows...
Fact: The average consumer never bothers to install ANYTHING other than the OS that came preinstalled on their CompUSA/CC/BB/Wal-Mart PC.
Truthfully? I fail to see how this is costing them anything at all when you get right down to it. They've STILL got the market sewn up on preinstalled systems, the average consumer STILL thinks it's the easiest OS to use, and Symantec has those consumers who ARE a bit worried and aware of the dangers convinced that by running Norton Craptilities they can circumvent those dangers.
This from the same person who is such a fanboi that he'll suck up anything dribbling from the end of Lucas' creative cock, but he won't pony up the cash to pay the fee for SWG?
For your info dude, (and I'm not going to search for the link), the info I told you about, was from a 3rd party link, with confirmed changes. NOT from the 'Armchair Director' set here on/.
Like I told you last night, it's not whining about the fact that we don't like the changes, it's the fact that we want the...(drumroll please)...MOVIE WE SAW FIRST!!!
Yah the acting was bad in spots, yah the special effects were kinda cheesy...but Jebus Crisp...I think we've shown over the years that those thing ultimately didn't matter...we still spent unGODly amounts of money on those 3 movies...BEFORE Greedo shot first.
Think about it......and Bobby...please for the love of god...spellcheck....
Fallacy. No prices have yet to be announced from Macsoft. Nor have they announced a shipping date. The news of the missing Toolset, while not good, is not new.
The reason for the lack of a Toolset is because Borland was unable to ship a compatible compiler in time, and Omnigroup was unable to complete the port itself in time.
There is an open source consortium, OpenKnights, found at Sourceforge, working to build an open source version of the Toolset for both Mac and Linux users.
Awwwww...I really DID hit a little close to home, didn't I? Poor little thing. I little therapy'd work WONDERS for your feelings of inadequacy and impotence.
Heh, you're a funny little fellow tho', quite creative with the 'leet' speak. That's very original.
Oh. I'm sorry. Not the response you'd wished? *clears throat*
Oh please don't call me queer again, it hurts so much coming from someone as obviously intelligent, and well spoken as yourself. *sobs* I don't know how I'll ever get on with my life after today.
Feel better now? Good, I hope so. I'll be praying for you. ciao
Just finished a discussion with some folks at Bioware. Turns out a couple of the glitches aren't glitches at all. 1) Only 4 voicesets were included to compress the filesize for downloads. 2) Shiny water is not dependant upon your video card under OSX, because the current Mac implementation of OpenGL does not support it as of yet.
So, in review...neither of the glitches are bugs at all. Game still runs flawlessly, smooth gameplay, excellent mouse response.
Wow. Looks like I've struck a nerve here. It's ok sir. Homosexualism is no longer the cultural stigmata it once was. It's ok for you to be comfortable with yourself. Really.
On another note, hooked on phonics is no longer as expensive as it once was. Maybe you should check it out.
Thank you for giving the repressed homosexual Anonymous Cowards a forum to openly profess their contempt for homosexuals, whilst allowing them to continue to hide and repress their homoerotic urges.
You provide a great service to those poor, sad individuals. You deserve much credit for this. *applauds*
You honestly mean to tell me this post, bashing not only Apple, but the game as well, was modded up? How is this anything but a troll? Oh, wait...he's bashing Apple on Slashdot...
Am I the only one pissed off because the only way to enjoy the whole story (this from the website) is to ALSO purchase the game? That's such bullshit! I'm all for a good game, but including a story within the movie JUST for the people who bought and completed the game? For Christ's sake, I just want to go. watch. a. damn. movie. How far's this gonna go? Are we going to get to the point where the game's released 3 months in advance and there's no point to seeing the movie if you haven't played the game?
is that M$oft knows the value of the public's perception. Other companies have pulled moves similar to this over the years, with far less fanfare (not to mention the griping and moaning). It doesn't matter what it's called people, all that matters is what it does. Mandrake, Suse, Slack...need I say more? Same thing (essentially) different name..Net, WinSrv200X...doesn't matter, (assuming as based on the article) since all of the core is remaining the same. Name change only. As far as no one in the general public 'getting' what.Net was intended for...well, it wasn't intended for the GP now, was it?
I'm curious about how much the surrounding areas have been irradiated...as far as how much the 'hot zone' has grown. Has anyone given any concern to the groundwater contamination? The dome is a great plan to prevent atmospheric contaminants, but I've not seen any below-ground plans. This seems like a half-baked (no pun intended) plan to me...at least they're doing SOMETHING.
The 'Blowing up' comment wasn't rude if you would just follow the links (granted, a link to a link) and read the story/articles. Taken in the context it was presented in (following the links again), it was a valid, if somewhat sarcastic comment. Read before posting folks, and quit being to sensitive.

Actually, the first Force Sensitive Slot was unlocked last week in SWG.
Ho-hum, just in time for the Christmas buying rush too...nice coincidence.
From the FAQ of Matrix Online tho'...NO, you can NOT be the one.
So quit asking.
Why're we taking this at all seriously?

Erm...their keyboards have had separate islands for quite some time now...this is BY FAR nothing new.
.OGG, natively in iTunes as a matter of fact, and you can use OggDrop to encode.
To answer a few questions above:
Yes, they run Linux...Yellow Dog, Mandrake PPC just to name a couple.
Yep, they play
Any other questions?
They're not southern???
woah.
Many people reading this right now are coders.
We're all being told that spelling isn't important.
WE'RE ALL BEING GROOMED TO CODE FOR MICROSOFT!!!
didn't reveal anyone signed with Apple Music being offered on Apple's Music Store.
Hafta wonder what they would have done if Apple had offered Apple's musicians' music on Apple's Music Store.

Look at the story called 'spiders', the one about al quaida.

Yeah, I posted an update to this below, after learning those two details...in retrospect, I probably should have just posted them here again.
As far as the DM Client goes...I was just trying to express my anticipation for the release. I've been doing far more DM'ing lately than playing.

Hardware: 17" tiBook, 1GB RAM
Game Settings: All options MAXED, no anti-aliasing
Resolution: 1440
Pros: Runs flawlessly, no hitches, slow framerates or draggy performance.
Cons: No NPC voices. No speech during spellcasting. No shiny water. (tho I don't remember if my vid card supports it)
Very nice job, runs great. Now just gotta wait for the DM Client!
Yep, I should do that...I hear they often play Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Motorhead and A3 on MTV. Good idea!
better a brewery from a washing machine than a toy from an altar boy.

Thank you for proving my point. I'd also like to commend you on your excellent punctuation/capitalization skills. Publik skool werked good fer you!!!
