oh, I see. I must pay apple $100 or else I lose my FREE email address in 70-something days??? I hate to state the obvious but I encourage all of you with mac.com email addresses to express your outrage to Apple in email form. Sure, I can understand they need the money but this is just wrong.
let me see if I understand this... someone wants to pay over $200,000 to get linux ported to an intel processor running windows with a geforce video card??? ChaChing!
are you a DJ? There is a reason we all use vinyl and its not just for the sound quality. I happen to prefer the feel of vinyl to CD and luckily, all the stuff I spin only comes out on vinyl and not CD. Some of the "purists" as you call them feel that the turntable is a musical instrument and they are turntablists. Saying you are good at CD mixing is like saying you are good at guitar because you can program great guitar parts into your synth. Before you flame me for saying that, I am not saying that people can't be virtuosos with a synth or CD mixing decks. That is a valid form of music and its not my place to say its not... but before you dismiss turntables, realize that there IS a reason 90-something percent of DJs use them, even new DJs who had a choice on what to start out with. Vinyl just has a different feel to it and a different type of control...
You are thinking of betacam, betacam sp and digibetacam. The comparison of beta to VHS refers to betamax... a superior format whose tapes were MUCH smaller than VHS
RMS for attorney general!!! Imagine how the M$ trial would have gone down if George "Oil" Bush and John "I am the worst terrorist of all" Ashcroft hadn't been around. Maybe this is idealistic but picture this one: K&R - president and vice prez Stevens - sec of state (if he werent dead) RMS - attorney general Jordan Hubbard - dir. of central intelligence Alan Cox - technology special advisor *pardon my shameless namedropping*
Did any of you happen to catch the History Channel special on the Kennedys Sunday night? One of the interviews was with the special assistant to LBJ at the time of the Kennedy assasination - a man named Jack Valenti who coincidentally looks _exactly_ like the evil Jack Valenti. I wonder if this man who once had the highest security clearance in the US government still has any friends/connections in government. Not that it would explain anything...
This is great news for two reasons. First of all, it feels good to know that Microsoft released something that massive amounts of people didn't automatically adopt. Second, let this be a lesson to them: one of the major advantages of a console system is that you can design a radical system with none of the limitations of a general PC design. Don't compensate with inflated clock speeds when you just design better hardware. Dont get me wrong, Nvidia is an amazing processor but its only purpose is to make up for X86's sad lack of multimedia capabilities. AGP is just trying to make up for sad bandwidth. Just look what the PS2 can accomplish with 4MB texture memory, 32MB main memory and almost no cache whatsoever! It's all in the the multiprocessor design, dedicated 128 bit bus between components, and a really kewl logo. However, I must admit that the Xbox does have ONE advantage over GC and PS2... smilebit is a bunch of lazy windows coders so I probably will never see a port of Jet Set Radio Future:(
C++ depresses me. I feel like the whole world is jumping on some buzzword bandwagon. Personally I dont understand... C++ makes it easier to produce bloatware (which is apparently rewarded in the M$ world) and it has the added disadvantage of objects. Hey, at least its not Java which forces OOP on you instead of giving you an option. I can't really talk about the STL (partly because I have never used it and partly because it would depress me) but from the coders I do know who have used it, it is a sad sad mechanism for making your code slower and harder to debug and your executables larger
If he has nothing to hide, why not open source the project? That way we could see all the trojans he didn't put in. oh yeah, and then I could port it to BSD!!! I say we email the author and start a petition!!! danceanthems@kazaalite.com
Wow, I like this reasoning. Throw enough money at the community and you should be allowed to violate license agreements!!! Let's all sponsor Windows conferences so we can violate their EULA. Then again, you couldn't pay me to use Windows so forget about paying
well, codewarrior seems to be popular with the kids despite its $5000+ price tag and that isn't even counting the $40,000 sony charges to be a licensed developer, a title without which Metrowerks won't sell you a PS2 compiler. Besides, there has to be something free out there (or maybe make your project a PS2 compiler!!!)
there is no moral issue. Whether or not one religion is against stem cell research, they have NO RIGHT to impede a possible breakthrough that could save millions of lives just because it is against their personal sense of morals.
how is that the first commercially available DVD burner? I've had my DVD-R firewire drive for awhile now and it is not yet September

unless you are using an Athalon, I wouldn't compare x86 to a G4... especially if that x86 is a pentium 4
(note: intel stopped using roman numerals after 3 because their customer base wouldn't understand why the new pentium is intraveneous)

sony is totally that guy that just makes up outrageous stuff every time he opens his mouth.
here are some possible add campaigns:
Sony's online service: more amazing than the time michael jackson came over the house to use the bathroom
Sony's online service: More amazing than the time kutaragi saved those old people from that nursing home fire
technology aside, I think its cute that he let his little kid do those sciency diagrams in microsoft Paint
this is the age of free software, not the age of $100 web email addresses
