The Gateway Connected Touchpad did NOT bit the dust. You can still get them by calling Gateway at 1-800-Gateway. Gateway is just not offering them on it's website anymore.
You can also get them by going to keyword "Anywhere" on the AOL service.
I mean, I could be totally wrong here; maybe NCSoft will allow Garriott and co. to do their thing and come up with a great game. We'll see. . . but I doubt it
It's not impossible. Remember Black and White? Peter Molyneaux had pretty much creative control over that game (although he did fund most of the development work himself). EA then distributed it I believe.
My first thought was the same. What is Garriot doing? He is falling into the same trap that he did with EA! However, he probably learned from his mistakes and had NCSoft make some SERIOUS concessions before going into the deal. That's what contracts are for.;-)
I am really looking forward to Tabula Rasa, and I would actually like to see Lineage here in the States too. The game has 2.7 million subscribers in Asia! It has to be a damn good game.
Not administrate. Administer. Administrate is a word that uneducated people began using in sufficient quantities to make other people think it was a real word, even to the point of fooling some dictionaries into including it.
Websters dictionary states:
ad*min*is*trate (verb) [Latin administratus, past participle of administrare]

"Uneducated" people have apparently been using the word for nearly 400 years. Isn't that enough time to adopt it into the language?
However, if I want WinAmp, and Netscape 6.x to match under Microsoft Windows, I need to create custom skins for each.
Then the solution is a standardized "skinning" platform. Then Winamp and Netscape could leverage the same skins. Anything like this exist or in the works? You would think Microsoft in all it's glory would have thought it up.
How is skin technology "rolling your own
user interface?" If you don't like the skin Mozilla ships with, change it to the Classic skin.
I think all applications are heading towards skin technology. It would be smart to allow skin techonology to pick up global color/font settings (if it doesnt already). Then we could please folks like yourself, which I am sure there are a bunch of.
Not sure why anyone would want red chrome on a black window, but I'm sure someone out there does.
This is good for hardware because ATI and NVidia will continue to push the envelope, developing more and more advanced graphics boards. Features will creep from one end to the other, just staggered a generation.
This is good for software because developers will have more choice in the hardware that they develop for. ATI doesn't support super-duper-gooified blob rendering? Ah, NVidia does in their new Geforce5. No worries, ATI will have to support it in their next generation boards.
A bipolar competition is ALWAYS good for the consumer.
Yes, you are talking abot mononucleosis, also known as the "kissing" disease, as it can be transmitted through light fluid exchange. Mononucleosis is characterized by the presence of an abnormally large number of white blood cells with single nuclei in the bloodstream.
A while back someone (I forget who now) said "VA Linux is trying to be the Dell of the Linux world. Unfortunately there will only be one Dell of the Linux world and that will be Dell." Wish I could remember who it was who said that. Damn...
how many people got fired over the whole xbox technologies thing?? Isn't there supposed to be a process when a name is picked? You go through trademarks, domain names, other incorportated entities in your target market...
You missed a step. Should be, "You go through trademarks, domain names, other incorportated entities in your target market, see if any of them can stand up to your financial and legal resources..."
Furthermore, it doesn't matter whether you place -R at the end or right after chown. -R at the end is more readable as it is right after the directory name you are chowning recursively.
Actually, one of the first GMUDs was on America Online back in the 80s and early 90s. It was called Neverwinter Nights and was a modified gold box SSI D&D game. It was actually one of the better GMUDs I have played in my days and it's over a decade old.
Of course many scientists agree this is pure politics given that over a ton of Martian material enters our atmosphere every year, spit up from meteor impacts on Mars.
Yes but does it come here under controlled conditions? I don't think so. Coming over here on a probe will be a lot different than getting pummelled into space, floating over towards earth and then entering the atmosphere and getting torched on it's way down.
A quarantine is warranted.

Yeah, it was a joke. You're dumb.
No, he was just bringing down to earth an incredibly uninformed and punitive set of remarks from the editor.

I noticed that "Man Opens Rear Orifice" has already been slashdot. Is the Slashdot community really THAT infatuated with goatse?
"..yeahhh he come to boff the rooster..."

I was waiting for someone to quote Alice in Chains.

Actually, by the time they're teenaged, they're not "chicks" any more. They're just "chickens" at that point.

And if you want to get REALLY specific, they would be "hens." I don't think that guy would want to boff the rooster.

Michael Dell?
He he he.
It's so true. In fact, my fiance calls me tux and now buys me penguins whenever she sees a cute one. Linux and chicks can mix!
No. He means XXXBox. In other words, Pam Anderson's goonya.

At least that's the Microsoft way.

BTW, it works as typed on a RH6.2 machine.
Via Internet? Via Internet? What the hell happened to proper tech speak? Help, help, I'm being invaded by journos.
What do you want them to say? Via the interconnected network of computers spanning the globe?
Go type it in and see numbnuts.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Ever heard of a wire "tap?"
Maybe they can put TIMMY!!! on Mars for 500 million. They can use his wheelchair as a start for the spacecraft.
TIMMY!
