Don't worry. Sooner or later, somebody will post about how many bazillions of seconds that cuts of render time at his company, and how that saved gazillions of dollars per year.
Ignoring the fact that his company would get better productivity gains if he weren't screwing around on/. on company time.
Christ, this article sucks. The site is/.'ed, but who cares? It probably runs something like this:
I found something roughly square shaped. I used some stuff to make a template. I cut out stuff with a dremel. I mounted stuff (particularly a mini-ITX board) in the rectangular box.
Big. Fucking. Deal.
Aren't there more interesting things out there? Putting up shit like this, and you wonder why people want to read through the submission trash heap? Go read some journals, and you'll find stuff far more interesting than this.
It's a box. With a computer in it. OMFG! That roxxors!!!
I try to wear earplugs whenever possible on the motorcycle. They attenuate wind noise, but do nothing to prevent hearing other traffic, horns, etc. Yet they're probably illegal as well. Too bad:)
What state are you in? With that much mileage, you oughta consider doing MSF instruction. Nice way to make a couple bucks.
Geez, the blurb has almost as much info as the 'story'. So, here's the story:
Following the announcement of a pack featuring Grand Theft Auto 3 and its sequel, Vice City, for the Xbox this Christmas, Take-Two CEO Jeffery Lapin has clarified the situation regarding console exclusivity for the franchise.
Speaking on a financial conference call following the announcement of the publisher's results, Lapin explained that Take-Two has amended its exclusivity deal with Sony, which had previously prevented the games from appearing on any console other than the PS2.
However, the contract still covers the next instalment in the Grand Theft Auto series, which Lapin refused to go into detail over - confirming only that the next game will be on the PlayStation 2 (not the PlayStation 3 as has been speculated by some commentators) and will have an unspecified period of exclusivity on that platform.
Lapin also stated that Take-Two currently has no plans to bring the series to Nintendo's GameCube, but will continue to evaluate the system and will release the next instalment of the franchise on other platforms after the exclusivity period ends, assuming that doing so is "financially prudent".
On the topic of the PSP, Lapin said that Take-Two currently has no solid plans to support the device, but is evaluating it to determine if any of the company's portfolio of titles would suit it. "In the end, I think it's likely some of our titles will end up on the PSP," he stated.
First, you can get a real motorcycle, like me. But that's a bit excessive. The other trick is to just get a portable with bud earphones. Check state laws, as many states don't allow you to wear headphones while driving/riding. There is also this contraption.
If you haven't ridden on the street before, I would suggest skipping the tunes for a while. You'll need all your attention focused on riding. And yes, I am a motorcycle safety instructor:)
You'd be amazed at how quickly you can get through Deus Ex on repeat plays:) It took me about three-four weeks of nightly playing the first time. 2.5 the second time. Did it in a week the third time. I've had mine preordered at the local EB (or Funcoland, or whatever) for a couple of months. Normally, I'd wait, save a few bucks, and get it online. Not for Deus Ex. Release day for me. I just hope the GeForce 3 Ti500 I have is up to the job:(
Led Zeppelin could only reform with the help of Sandman's sister. Unless, of course, you are lame enough to think their is another (living) drummer good enough to wipe the sweat from Bonham's kit.
Fuck Kyle Rayner, fuck him in the earhole. First, the real GL of sector 2814 was killed in a pathetic DC move to increase sales. Second, if you could be screwing Jennie Lynn Hayden, would you be trying to restart the GL Corps? Thought not.
Where's Kyle Sinestro? Oh, that's right, there isn't. Because Sinestro would pound Kyle into a little ball of jelly.
Seen pictures of the amphicars afloat. With two modest sized passengers, it has like 3-4 inches of freeboard:)
As far as an economically unfeasible vehicle... It's America. What's 5 mpg if it means you look cool on the highways! (and waterways:) I'd be more apt to use it as a small family camper.
Taken by itself, sports usually loses money. Insane bidding wars for the rights to watch, large production costs, etc. It only makes money by bringing viewers to other shows. The other reason Fox went after the NFL years ago was to prove that they were a 'real' network.
How many CDs do you have in your collection? Other than a just released Weird Al, the newest album I have is either Nevermind (Nirvana) or 10 (Pearl Jam). I've got roughly 400 CDs. I could buy 100 tomorrow, none newer than the aforementioned albums, and still not own half of the total records I would like to own. I don't like new stuff. I don't buy new stuff. I like old stuff. I buy old stuff.
Who said anything about getting music for free? My purchases of music have nothing to do with whether or not some dipshits signed a crappy contract. If I like the music, and think I will get enjoyment that is equal to or more than the price of the music, I buy it. Otherwise, forget it.
There used to be (still is?) an outfit in the Wisconsin Dells that does tours like that. One of these would definately be cool for the neighborhood car pool:)
Hope you like the dev team and their PR hacks. FWIW, if I didn't buy products and services from severe assholes, I'd probably wear a loin cloth and live in a cave. Sadly, assholes frequently turn out good product. Time to start downloading.
But the beneficent/hole michael rewards us daily with his tripe. And his/hole buddy CT rewards us by letting us do the work that gets him a paycheck. Hey, if those ain't rewards, I'm the man from Nantucket.

In MD and VA (and any other states that have passed UCITA) a EULA is a legally binding agreement, pending a court case that tosses out the law.
IIRC, the IP infringment began around 2.4.15. I think the latest release available from SCO is 2.4.14.
It's not *all* 2.4 kernels, only the later ones.
Now I may not be kept up to date on the current SCO status but I thought last week SCO said they have no plans to sue linux users - no?
'I've altered our agreement. Pray I don't alter it any further.'
(followed by loud breathing sounds)
Undoubtedly much cooler than whatever the story linked to.

Not posted AC, because I'm a karma whore.

Vietnam, sacrifice an entire generation? Nice histrionics. ~60,000 barely compares to conflicts the US has participatd in in the 20th century. For something that truly destroyed a generation, look further back in US history.
The Vietnam War barely edged out the Korean War WRT % of population dead, and I don't hear Korean War vets pissing and moaning.

Do you know Dave from Canada? I met him once at a party.

This situation was more like Peter Jackson being a pederast. But I did say, who cares, buy it if you like it.
No. It was more fun just posting an off the cuff remark referring to an earlier /. story.
