You know, that WAS a great comment until that last little bit of preteen style bitching. It doesn't happen very often that a person was sued when they found a "feature" unless they exploited it.
And, a properly configured firewall fixes alot more then just those little issues for ANY system. You make it sound like linux doesn't need a firewall.
Does anyone find it odd that the comparison is between a chip that was _designed_ to be a budget chip (celeron) and a _flagship_ chip (AMD XP)? It seems like a very stupid thing even to dream up that test. This woud be like comparing the Pentium 4 2.0 with the celeron 2.0. Of course there's going to be a major preformance on the pentium over the celeron because the pentius was _designed_ to be a maximum preformer. A more even test would to exclude the AMD XP processesors and use only Durons.
Dont whine by saying "But the AMD XP's are cheaper!" Well so what. Your still tipping the scales just be using an old top of the line chip with a budget chip
Would you race an 2004 accord with a 1990 corvette and expect the accord to even have a chance?
you havn't been here before have you. the AVERAGE price for the houses they're putting in that local is about 350k if not 400k. 120k will buy you a 1 bedroom condo. my mom just spent 195k for a townhome w/ three beedrooms. and thats in a town NEAR the area, if your in it expect the prices to go up at least 15%
But even with next day delivery it'd still take about 24 hours to complete. Damn fedEx and not having a "delivered in time to finish your contest" choice of delivery
Admit it--you're just too lazy to supervise your own children. Take responsibility! If your children are playing such a game, and you don't want them to, TAKE IF OFF THE COMPUTER! It's easier than just complaining to the world about how you still haven't become an adult yet. Until the age of 18, parents have ultimate rule over children whether they like it or not. Stop letting other people raise your kids.
BTW I've NEVER just 'stumbled' upon 3D Realms' website. And video games did NOT cause Columbine. If you paid any attention to the news then, you would have discovered those two kids were teased by other kids who had no discipline. (No offense to those who died or were involved, rest their souls.) People cause people to kill each other, not games. You obviously are not a gamer, or else you would know you can't shoot like a sniper or blow up walls like in Hitman 2 or > in real life. Teach them well when they're real young, don't shield them, or they won't know what they're NOT supposed to do or what the consequences will be.
If you do that, you wouldn't have this violent game 'problem'. I'm proof of that: I've seen Faces of Death 1-3 between the ages of 8 and 12, and never ONCE have I killed, injured, or in other way harmed another living soul. And I only saw them about 15 min a day since they both had two jobs. I'm sure you've got 15 min to spare.
And stop complaining about kids! You're giving my parents a bad image!
I don't think she has the money.

So, my daughter will be playing with her Shop With Me Barbie toy cash register. and before it shoots out a little song blip it'll pop out and ask for a dime from mommy and daddy so that she can play the song.
thats pritty sneakey, turning a register into a money making machine for the RIAA
Hey this means that I can get rid of my cell phone, home phone and DSL and just use my laptop and some VoverIP service! sounds like a money saver to me.
I personally think that we shouldn't be looking for titles at the moment but looking at separating the fads (.net, I hope) to technology that is here and will most likely still be here in 5-10 years (a serving of C anyone?). Here are the topics that I'd like to see in a library.
Programming theory (OOP or otherwise).
x86 architecture theory (Hey its been here for over 15 years why not longer).
Algorithms, not in any particular language but just the "how-to" for problem solving.
UNIX and w32 (I'm sorry but I just don't see it dying any time soon) programming theory and structure.
For languages I'd try to limit it to languages that are still widely used (i.e. c/c++) and languages that just wont die (i.e. COBOL).
Slashdot Mirror
Yes, yes it does.
Even more so sense I embedded it into my vaccume cleaner.

Another Winderful innovation by the wonderful PhD's at Google! (http://www.google.com)
um... you mean GI Joe?
IBM has announced a deal with the RIAA to run a "proof of concept" example using its Computing on Demand group of products.

um... $120k for a house, in that area??

hm.... George W Bush....
Are you a fan of the family or do you like one more then the other?
just like an slashdot poster. Yells out something before thinking
Yes, Beer is good
They've always done that. DOS was also a purchaces product. This seems to keep with them to par. Its just on a much bigger scale now.

hm... 38,600 take that div it by 100 and you're left with 386... Is Apple trying to say something to the PC-WinTel world?

A good terms Dictionary or two would be nice too.
