it's obvious by the quality of your post that you rival potato chips for iq scores. (i'd say 'are rivaled by..' but you're the one attempting to surpass the other..)

i was going to post something similar, but now i don't have to.
in school i was a computer geek (moreso than malda & co i'd imagine) i have *1* friend from school, and i never dated the girls at my school (at 15 i was dating a girl in graduate school.)
i ostracized *myself* from my peers, because they are stupid. i have never had coworkers my age.
malda & co. are also stupid. they were ostracized by others because they are lame. they need to get the fuck over themselves.
...dave
most people on/. , especially the editors, are totally ignorant when it comes to actual coding,.. they consider themselves 'hax0rz' because they know how to put the ram in and compile their kernel.
that's old news, but it seems like it needs to be re-iterated.
you should not be surprised at all when lame shit like this gets hyped.. it's been a long time since the majority of posters were clueful.
...dave
a lot of recent articles (i'm sorry i'm too busy to actually put some URLs in here, i'm sure someone else will) of this ilk.
slashdot is becoming like network news... last time i saw the network news (a couple weeks ago) they had a 'story' on Toy Story 2 being released on video.
my brother and me used to play it down at the bar
taking money from guys more used to the playing of cards
with the paddle to the paddle to the side to the side to the paddle to the paddle to the side to the side
pong
ball in machine
now virtually everyone's singing a popular song
but i still believe in the excellent joy of the pong
with the side to the side to the paddle to the paddle to the side to the side
pong
ball in machine
now if they take it h.g. wells
well i'll be on the first flight
to a time before the kong
oh whatever happened to pong?
with the paddle to the paddle to the side to the side to the paddle to the paddle to the side to the side
pong
ball in machine -- frank black 'whatever happened to pong?'
(from 'teenager of the year')
of course i don't know if pong classifies as a vector game..

this is idiotic. there is a little thing called evidence, and M$ would have none of it. nobody would believe such a ridiculous claim, and the fact that you'd make it is evidence of a disturbing amount of paranoia on your part.
tell me, do you worry about M$ fluoridating the water?

Sounds like some damn money grubbing management doesn't care what their employees think about where their going. I bet the high-ups bailed after the big check can in the mail too...
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.
but you fuck it up with pure stupidity. adobe doesn't want to 'sell you' a manual? excuse me, photoshop has a manual, and i'm sure its cost is built into that $600-900.
A GIMP expert has to choose between "giving away" improvements that make GIMP better by patching the UI, or writing a book and making a quick buck.
what?!? you are on crack.
i agree, because i have been told from many reliable sources, that photoshop has a much better UI than the GIMP, but this is not the reason.
the reason is, adobe has been working on photoshop for a long, long time. i'm sure they have usability experts, etc. etc. etc.
the people who use the GIMP, obviously like how it works, and probably make changes where they see that they are needed, but obviously, they have no motivation to make it work 'better for the public' because they don't see the problem(s) with the interface.
its message is 'people don't know how to spend their money, only the government does. rich people are bad, we should have control of their money. it has been determined you only need N dollars to be happy.'
sorry, but, that's a load of bullshit.
personally, i think nobody needs more than $5-10 million to lead a happy life. but that shouldn't be a law. it should just be common sense, once you have enough to do pretty much anything you want and not have to work another day in your life, the rest should be used for charitable causes (note: most donation money that most professional 'charities' receive never makes it to the actual cause.)..
A series of signals sent between parties, which allow the transfer of information. These can be transmitted via audible, visible or tactile methods. Means of communication via scent and taste are currently in development.
yes you see them fairly often with the logo obscured or removed, but actually if you go look at movies, most of the time the brand of computer is shown, because they can get some computer company (usually apple) to pay for the placement.

a) it's not 'this generations' sgt. pepper, it would be 'technology's sgt. pepper' because 'this generation's sgt. pepper' would be some cd or another (and that would be a debate not suited to/. at all)
b) i would say it's 'technology's 'hangin' tough''.. (new kids on the block)...
a 'cultural phenominon' is not necessarily a good thing.

wash away all the hype and what do we have? we have logic.
it is however many 'generations' away that nvidia wants it to be. if they want to release 3 new 'generations' of cards between now and then, they can.
but in reality, it exists now, it has been thought of now, it is of the current generation. they are just choosing to hold it back, or maybe it's still super buggy. my guess is the hardware is pretty much ready and they're giving software developers more time.
in any case, we've gone over before how stupid the x-box is. anyone who buys it is a moron. use your money for a PC which you can upgrade, not a small crappy PC which you cannot (which is what the x-box is.)
...dave
personally i've never been a big druggie, i've had my share but never heavily and not recently.

Kuro5hin Update

· Score: 1
a little slow with your reply there, champ.
in any case, you missed my point, and that's ok, you're yet another one of those gimps who thinks/. and/or kuro5hin have anything intelligent going on within their walls:P
the key is knowing where every guy and item is and expecting them. there are actually two different approaches to completing nightmare quake :
- the easier (for novices and it's also much simpler) way is to just run through it as fast as possible, killing only the guys which halt your progress (letting others shoot at you as you run away.)
- the other is to actually go through it as you would any other mode, killing things and picking up items, etc. which is harder but, if you know where everything is and get good at fighting the guys (which, really,.. the ai is very simplistic so, it's not that hard..)
mainly you just need lots and lots of spare time.
...dave
oh yes, i'm so ignorant! you've been reading my posts for a while! sure,..sure,.. mm-hmm... good job trying to sound important, intelligent and informed. maybe you fooled some other 13 year olds:)
as far as thinking i'm cool 'coz i have karma, it was a joke. obviously, the concept of humor escapes you:)
believe me, i put no value on karma other than it lets me continue playing the karma game at +2.
