IRIX is doomed. SGI needs to compete against the movement to replace expensive high end workstations with economical Intel based Linux clusters. Ask Lucas, they dumped a bunch of SGI opting for Linux. It's basic economics.
Apple seems to have a problem in developing strategic partnerships in a number of areas. Jobs wants Apple to be driving force in the CG world but there isn't a significant accelerated 3D graphic card for the Mac. He's the frickin CEO over at Pixar and if you watch the extras on the Monsters, Inc DVD all you see is SGI! Sitting around talking about "fur," for cripes sake do something!
I just skimmed the comments so excuse any redundancy but I'd like to know if there was any firing in this guy's IT dept., and what cave has this person been sleeping in? Anti-virus control is a responsibility of every end-user. I say this guy was inviting problems.
So, let me get this straight. If it looks like an image, as opposed to non-image data, it becomes art? Or is it that plus the examination of the code which created the image and the verdict of other programmers who examine that code the deciding factor in deeming that it is art? Two or more left brained geeks trying to fulfill the empty space in right side gray matter. Keep the day job.

Dorothy, please report to the chancellor's office to sign your resignation papers.
"Never" is a very wrong word in the computing world.

When a desire to believe supersedes common sense, scientific analysis and verification people will get screwed. It's pretty scary how so many people, wielding so much money can be so fundamentally stupid.
Cheating is an intregal component of learning. Today's student will be eaten alive in the real world if they don't develop sucessful cheating skills. I think every University should develop an academic program focused on cheating. It would be a prerequisite for law school and MBA programs.
This is so sick and sad I don't want to study the details. Mom was aware of the problem. She could have resolved this. Trash the computer if she had too. What a waste. And you!--go out and take a walk, see the sky smell a flower--talk to someone.
You don't know shit about how business works in "Hollywood." This is a smart move by Fox. Capitalize now before the kiddies realize they're being spoon fed garbage. A few will break free, others will continue to consume trash. However trashy this movie will be it will make money. In fact it has already made money for some.
Interesting and strange sense of nationalism going on here. This topic has a long history of cultures who claim this "discovery" with a sense of arrogant pride. There was probably some intelligent life here before all of these claims. Think about it, do any of you really give a fuck? What does it have to do with any of you?
Whatever happened to the days when writers seriously researched before putting something out to the public? I can't wait for this KDE thing to happen--wow, a GUI for Linux! It might have helped if the author experienced Linux before picking up the pen. Oh well, Linux rules, Microsoft drools and foams at the mouth.
A big part of the problem, in a lot of organizations, is that people make it into management positions based on tenure rather than ability. Too often these are people who themselves recognize that they couldn't cut it in the subordinate position so they focus their energy on moving into a managerial position. Take a sales organization, the people who are doing well in sales have a good set of skills, they're being compensated well, so they stay put or move to a company that has more to offer (often a company with better management.) Those who are struggling focus their efforts at climbing up the food chain by moving into a management position frequently managing those who out performed them in the previous position. The best managers are those with the ability to teach others how to manage themselves. These people are few and far between.
Oh no, they're taking your favorite cartoon off the air?! You'd best organize a march on Fox--this must be stopped! How can these TV exec's be so ignorant? How can they be so insensitive? Holy shit, what's the world coming to?!!!
and what Microsoft does are two very separate entities. Any announcement from MS should be questioned as subversive drivel. The security they're concerned about is in securing market share and driving away any competition. Bill Gates' favorite cartoon is Pinky and the Brain.
Are they measuring to the biggest, nearest rock or the smallest most further rock? Modern man can't even accurately measure his penis--so what's the point? Is there good money in this?
Just a side note: Microsoft's ordering system was down last week which put them days behind in product fulfillment. OH the stability of the Microsoft platform!
or did you just want to entertain us with a little porn? You're insignificant radio station is getting a heap of free PR, probably increasing your listeners substantially--stop whining.

Record execs have been sniffing glue for years. It's about time they gave the brown nose a rest and injected it elsewhere.
In the words of the late great Frank Zappa, "who gives a fuck anyway?"
These are Earth farts. We've been giving our dear mother some pretty severe "gastrointestinal" grief lately.

And write an OS which is stabile and secure. Every time they open their mouths about open source they stick their foot in it. Stupid bastards.

Cool, arm that puppy and we can finally kill off the menacing albino alligators!

Michael Eisner and Bob Wright came to my house and popped the fast forward buttons off my VCR and DVD remote controls.
