they should have known that that bnetd could have been used with warezed copies of the game. However, unlike blizzard, they are not trying to protect projects they invested millions of dollars into, and lost sales would have no effect on them.
This is simply a company trying to protect it's investment, and I see nothing wrong with that.
Man why is it that open-source people never cut their hair? Common rms, maybe if you cut your hair and wash, others may follow... then you might actually meet some people of the opposite sex!
open source people do not believe in footnotes, they believe all information should be free and do not understand what 'plagerism' is.
They believe that not having a footnote option is the first step to making all information free, despite people's hard work and effort that go into creating most of it.
Slashdot, arguably the best linux website will expand in July to a pay service(slashdot complete). It seems that while stories will be free, the actual comments for new stories will cease to be available to non-payers 7 days after the story was written. This is a real pity, I suspect many linux users, like me, don't have credit cards(or cash), and slashdot has good, hard, objective stories.
Music these days just plain sucks, first of all, most of the new bands blow, and then the audio engineers master the sound so god damn loud that it loses all it's presense. I don't know about you guys but I don't plan on buying any cds untill I see something actually worth buying.
mandrake's install is easy. But getting the OS to work is not. After a fast and easy install, it took the system 4 minutes to boot (compared to my windows98se's 40 seconds) and then I got an error-message and console (which is useless, if I wanted to type text I would install dos).
Slashdot doesn't post their own news, they simply post links to other people's news and add a few sappy comments on. Then a huge surge of slashdot readers go to the site that originally posted the news and often bring the server to it's knees. If anything, slashdot is an internet parasite, about on the same level as outlook worms that replicate and cause millions of dollars in damage.
they have been doing this in quebec ever since we had highspeed, the cable hispeed used to have a 6 gig limit per month, with something like 10 cents per meg over the limit, which has since been increased higher to 8gigs or more due to complaints.
This is a real pain in the ass if you download alot of iso's or divx's.. but it doesn't really affect the average user that much.
Well this site isn't a credible news source. First of all they don't even post their own news, they simply post links to other people's news and add a few sappy comments on. Then a huge surge of slashdot readers go to the site that originally posted the news and often bring the server to it's knees. If anything, slashdot is more of an internet parasite.
png is a good alternative to gif, however jpg2000 is on a different level.. lossy compression for small filesizes. Png is a good format for situations where you need the best quality for the graphic, for instance a map.
I wouldn't be surprised if you WERE. Not like the moarchy really does anything anyway.. I'm sure the queen has loads of free time to post stuff on slashdot!

Apple has a great unix os available for their platform. It is native and that means it is optimized for mac. It has many native programs for it and a very good gui. It has the command line that geeks love.
well like most things that run linux... it sucks! Not trying to say that linux as a whole sucks but I haven't seen any gadgets that use it that are better than non-linux using gadgets (even wince devices). But I normally wouldn't expect a server OS to be the best thing for portables anyway

But the install program was real easy!

speaking of adware, I think any company who installs anything on my pc without notifying me should be sued for invasion of privacy
yeah images look grainy because gif only supports 256 colors. Sounds pretty outdated these days when most people run at 24/32-bit color
png is a good alternative to gif, however jpg2000 is on a different level.. lossy compression for small filesizes. Png is a good format for situations where you need the best quality for the graphic, for instance a map.
yeah so it's a hoax.. actually it's just an outright lie. Nice story guys.

Nope, just a whole lot slower

I'm talking about OS X.
Who needs linux on mac now?
