There's no real justification, no excuses, just propaganda. US "won" the war by threatening it's enemy with extinction. How barbaric method is that? No ethnic cleansing, no mass executions just genocide because "they're not US citizens". That fact will not go away.
This is not a man/woman thing. If "Wagner James Au" would've gone to women-only party or show, there'd be Chippendales or alikes dancing around.
James, have some balls! You can't get over it, only through it to become a Better Person(TM). Sex is fun, happy and very neccessary part of our lives. Those "lost boys" just might remember there's more to life than games when they get to talk to a real woman face to face at E3. Ok, so those women are not quite the ordinary type being too fit and wanted, but it's better than nothing.
Go ahead and make assumptions about your fellow slashdotters judging them by their writing abilities. Add your typical claim, "I'm a married, sensitive, non-violent person" to that and it makes pretty self-centered message. "Not ME, but majority of other men are!"
Now, about this subject: it's wrong that while sex is publicly banned subject, entertainment and advertising industries make money on peoples daily need of it. They can sell more as long as people doesn't get used to sex. And you can't masturbate either because that's a BIG no-no in religious countries. Why, you'd be so fed up with sexual satisfaction that advertising wouldn't have any effect on you! OMG! So it's sin, makes you blind, embarrassing and what not.

No kidding. It's an obvious trollanalysis, in the classic sense of a/. post analysing it's Parent Comment, discarding informational content and focusing on intent. It's actually one of the few beautiful, well thought out trollanalysis I've seen on Slashdot. Most people don't even bother to think something out as far as this. It's all flame this and praise that, with a mix of judgements, sigs, and obscene arguments thrown in.
It's good to see the rare intellectual trollanalysis every now and then. This post should've only have been marked Fresh, crispy with a hint of cedar (+1) or Aged, dark but sparkling (-1), with maybe a couple of Overrated/Underrated remarks thrown in.
Oh no. Oh, Lard, no. I'm boasting about wine descriptions, something I konsider the kardinal zin of kofftobic kvetchina. Doh, cell. Ki'm will ingntiing brdowno rom be Sdayof bhhe Knicuw Chud.</yadda>
This whole thing seems like no-one has accurate information about anything but everyone has something to say. Like me.:)
What's the point flapping mouths when propaganda blurs every fact of this situtation? No matter what Jon thinks he knows, or how many people he's asked for comments, he doesn't know any more about this than what few average newspapers can tell.
Who cares? Who can care without knowing what really happened? We all believe our "trusted sources" and try to convince each other here. Even truth does not matter because there isn't one, China makes it's own truth as does US and public opinions are allways biased. So that's that, then. Nothing to see here, move along.
I usually buy stuff from a brand that haven't advertized anything. I believe every penny spend on ads, is added to the price of product so you'll be paying for those ads wich irritate you.
Maybe we should boycot those stupid ad-houses who produce bad ads to put'em out of business. That'd be much more effective since business' notice if some ad-house has bad reputation among viewers and ban products advertized by it.
Your attitude might be justified if it were down to goodwill on the part of publishers, but it isn't; it's a question of market forces.
What goodwill? I've already seen many movies, tv-series and games with advertising here and there, price being the same than others' without ads. They're lying here like allways with these things and we're used to their lies.
Prices won't be reduced, they'll just say those earnings/savings go into developement "so consumers get better products". BULL!
It could happen in US where everythings fucked up Superpower-style. It's no better place than China or Russia. That's why.
Secret police, money rules, corruption, assassinations, "civilized" country yet there's beggars everywhere, millions of people prisoned, richest portion of citizens move into fortified colonies, drugs, prostitution, rasism, distinctive social classes...
And yet people still stand all this and some even say it's "the best country in the whole friggin world!". Doesn't sound like a very sane place.
Darkstone from Delphine was like Diablo but in 3D. Rotating, zooming.. I hoped to see such interface in Diablo2 too. No luck.
Blizzard did to Diablo what Westwood did to Dune2: nothing. I don't know wich is more irritating, that Diablo2 is such a cheap fix-up or that everybody's so thrilled about it anyway. It's like Red Alert vs. Total Annihilation: RA uses outdated technology, is filled with awful videoclips and oozes the stink of money. TA is everything: 3D, realistic ballistics, radars, non-tilebased (except buildings), etc.
Why is it so hard for a veteran gamehouse like Blizzard to make even a good (3D, please?) graphic version of Moria, Angband or Nethack, goddammit?!
Sigh to yourself, nitpicky! It's "two lefts don't make a wrong, nor does three lefts. in fact, no matter how many lefts are making it, they don't make any wrongs. OTOH, just one right to the left makes it straight ahead."
You forgot to say: "Remember the children Michael! They're all suffering now because of you! Oh, just think of the children! OMG!"
hehee:D "wasted computer cycles".. bwaahaha! Why, they're not wasted anymore because everybody now uses Rain, Waterfall, CPUidle or powersaving features on their computers.
Even Microsoft (and this is not widely known) has released 1.0 versions with minor flaws wich make programs unusable.
Send them a bug report and it will be fixed in the 1.01 version or they send a patch to fix it.
You may also like to check their licensing before use to stay out of trouble in the future when lzip may be essential part of your information systems.
An ideal OS could be a server as much as a desktop. I think MS and Apple have created the concept of "Desktop OS". That's because they couldn't develop true multitasking OS in time to compete with UNIX.
Desktop OS means something like "basic, inferior operating system", BIOS.;) Users now need server-capabilities in their desktop machines because of P2P, personal firewalls, IM, etc. and even games since Quake have been client/server oriented.
"why is Fanatic looking that hobble picture everyday?" "yeah, you know I asked him about it last monday and he mumbled something about goat sex. I can't see any goats in that pic.." "goats?! why can't he just use sheep like everybody else? some kinda pervert?" "well anyway there wasn't any goats in that pic, that's for sure. let's tell admin to block any sites with the word 'goat'."
I dare you to use that pic as desktop wallpaper on your computer.
I went to the website and downloaded and ran the patch but it gave me a message saying I did not need to install this update and exited.
Maybe this is the workings of that dude with stolen MS Certificates.. Wich means your box is bound to run his code wheter you install this "update" or not. :p
[...]the following attributes are generally desirable: high resolution, large color gamut, and multi-user hidden surface removal.
[...]high-speed 2-D projector images a time series of approximately 4,000 - 10,000 frames per second onto a diffuse projection screen which rotates at 600 rpm[...]Each frame has a resolution of roughly 768 x 768, and the volume is comprised of between 200 and 500 frames, resulting in an image of at least 90 million voxels.
I was wondering where would they need that much DDR memory until I saw that multi-stuff. And it uses ultra SCSI to move "3-D data, usually in the form of geometric or volume data [...] to the display prototype. [...]graphics memory is organized as 1 Gbit x 3 x 2 (3 colors, double-buffered)
And with 10 000 fps, who cares if Quake runs at 80 or 150 fps anymore! 600rpm or 10rps means if they're using both sides of that projection screen to view the image, actual fps rate is 20.. uh, so I think CRT is better for now.

That fact will not go away.

You're right. It doesn't mean that. Actually it doesn't mean anything.
If you don't respect others' rights to that, why should they respect yours?
Correct again. There's no need for their respect. So they don't respect, so what?

Who cares how much it costs? How much did Braben spend money when he made Elite? "at least ten thousand million billion bucks! OMG!"
Anyone can spend money, few can use it wisely.
