The braindead company that thought this a good idea have the right to publish this "game".
Well sonny, guess what, the people, potential buyers, have the right to express their opinion about the premise of the game, and thankfully will cast it to the 3 games for 1 dollar basket, where it rightly belongs.
I want to get my work done and leave, and take great pride on my work ant the success of my company.
So what would you do?
Knowing the Pointy Hairedness going on out there I am pretty sure most managers would act as you just described when dealing with an employee that has got his priorities right and that knows what is fair (I mean, an employee-employer reletionship is a commercial transaction, why is that employers always expect complete commitment but will make redundant their "valuable" people at the first sign of less than forecasted quarterly earnings?
Why? Are you a neoconservative Evangelical ayatollah, or a bit of romance in the middle of a very well presented catastrophe movie a bit too much for an impresionable geek like yourself?
.... biggest grossing is meaningles to qualify the importance of an artist.
In the time of Mozart of Beethoven there were many musicians that were more estimated by the public, today musicologists may struggle naming a few of them.
Heck, Stravinky's premiere of Rite of Spring in Paris was an scandal and no popular at all.
Most people seeing or enjoying something means squat since by definition somebody popular has to pander to a minimum commun denominator.
Some filmakers manage to do both, but as I believe Andrei Tarkovsky once put it, the difference between him and Hollywood was that he made films na d Hollywood made movies.
Slashdot Mirror
IT people are paid to provide fault tolerant systems 100% of the time.
Nowadays there are no excuses for well funded projects to shut down like this.
We know it is not importan to you, that is why you are happy with an inferior product.
Can we stop stating the obvious?
....
.....
FM Radio.
Sound recorder.
Cheaper MB/$ rate.
Long battery life.
Ogg playing capabilities.
Being Iriver branded.
.... but does not run in Linux.
My bad.
... if there is no profit or money involved then the same person demonstrating managerial capabilities all of the sudden lacks them all?
Give us a fscking break.
That is the point....
.... expect that the little guy (employee, contractor, small provider) always expect to get freebies they themselves will never give?
Why is it mercenary to demand to be paid for a work you are performing if the initial agreement was to be paid by time?
Why sombebody working under those conditions should give a free ride to the pesron/company contratcting them?
WHY?
Yeah, they revolutionaized the software industry, the shareware devlopers....
"just works" is impossible without efficency.
You can install RPMs by double clicking on them in RedHat and Mandrake Linuxes...
The cheapest ones cost around $50 or even less....
If you have not used Fedora, RedHat, Xandros or SuSe your commnet is completely extemporaneous.
Fedora or RedHat for example are pretty much Gnome or KDE and noting else.
Xandros is KDE.
And so on and so forth.
If you are working with Debian, Slackware or Linux from scratch, well, duh! Flexibility is an importnat facor in having freedom.
Once you have too many emails, search becomes impractical.
....
Pine in Linux does a better job
To let some logical thinking blemish the Ipod fan boy wankfest!
You sir or lady have no manners.
MS feels like they own your damn PC.
Applications should have a target that is not moving all the time. A stable OS.
Once that is provided then MS should not be responsible for making apps work, but the application developers.
They have got the working relationship backwards. Don't ask us to praise them fur such braindead apporach to software development.
Tell them that somebody could upload kiddie porn on their hard drives and then tip off the police.
That concentrates minds wonderfully in my experience.
No fucking way.
Ged it now?
You should judge messages in their own merits, not by the merits of whom delivers the message.
Freedom of speech works in many ways.

Perfectly healthy democratic societies rate or even ban stuff they consider that goes beyond what society may find acceptable.
What the previous poster said was in the context of assasinating the named individual.
I am pretty sure the games you are mentioning don't center around that objective.
Typical example of ignoring the context to try to make a cheap point...
.... but people are not paid like if they were burger flippers....
... if you would not say such bullshit.
I want to get my work done and leave, and take great pride on my work ant the success of my company.
So what would you do?

And the machines will fine tune and configure themselves.
You obviously have no idea what it costs to provide true contingency, even with "cheap" hardware.
