There's a FRACTIONAL possibility that, under oath, the guy JUST MIGHT be giving his objective opinion.
Why is it as soon as anything antitrust/MS based is posted on/. people start running around with their hands in the air screaming about corporate witch-hunts. The guy's Jerry Sander for fuck sake. I'd credit him with the intelligence to be objective in this sort of situation.
If you want to scream about multinationals and conflicts of interest talk about CSFB, JP Morgan and Merril Lynch because the shit they've been putting out for the last ten years makes all this "AMD's underhand strategy" stuff seem like a walk in the park.
Are you always a complete fucking idiot or did you receive a message through your post box this morning?
The west has been using and abusing Africa for centuries. Ever wonder why there's a race problem in America? Does the slave trade ring a bell?
If you got your head out of your fat sweaty twinky stuffed ARSE long enough to look around you'd realise that the IMF, the World Bank and the WTO are being heavily lobbied by the West in general (but the US in particular) and pushing third world nations into an even deeper hole. As are first world multinationals.
I suggest you read The Silent Takeover by Noreenha Hertz and Captive State by George Monbiot. In between the lengthy sessions of masturbating over pictures of George Bush squatting over Ronald Reagan to the latest Christina Aguilera album you might actually realise WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD.
hehe hehe he just said Information Superhighway </beavis and butthead>

It's REALLY FUCKING IMPORTANT. I understand that as founder fathers of the MTV generation it's difficult to concentrate on one topic for longer than a TV advert for the Gap, but people need to make the effort.
For the people that globalisation is working for, I can see why it's more a case of "Next Political Topic Please". However I would have thought that the billions of people that are on the short end of this ideology are slightly more interested. Unfortunately I dont think they have accounts with AOL.
Yeah, flamebait me or whatever, but the crushing lack of interest by posters on this topic provides a very bleak outlook in my book.
If Sony dont win the console war they'll certainly clear up in the Bullshit Bingo. Apple coming a close second no doubt, with a special bonus prize for using all the words in the English language that are similar to "insanely".
Although I am a little suspicious of Valves long term strategy for Steam, I am prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt for the moment.
The main concern of a pay-to-play model seems unfounded; Valve are doing very well at the moment as it is. Steam is going to give them even higher profit margins through the removal of the majority of the supply chain.
The argument that the current system isn't broken is completely flawed. The CS community is almost at breaking point with regard to cheating. IMHO this is the killer app of Steam. I dont mind waiting an hour to download the latest CS update, and I certainly wouldn't pay for the removal of this inconvenience, but I WOULD pay 5 pounds a month for a guaranteed cheat free counter strike. Most people I know who play CS would do the same. Cheating is endemic and hopefully this will be the silver bullet.
Valve seem to understand the gamer pretty well. They have heavily backed the modding community (a risky business decision as they net no revenue from existing HL customers) and have come out winners. Just because they are a capitalist business doesn't mean they are stupid. They know how fickle gamers can be and they know that their position could easily become tenuous if they start installing spyware all over the place.
Sometimes you need to have faith in a company and give them your support (read $$$ or £££ or whatever) for them to create a revolutionary product.
I'm going to support it. And I applaud Valve for setting this thing up. Sure, if they start spamming me to hell or intruding on my game I'll reconsider, but I think we have to give this sort of project a break and wait and see what happens...
like SAP, where believe it or not, 4GB of address space, 4GB of memory, is just not enough. The SAP people have to actually try and squash their code into it, the software is so powerful.
I totally agree. I mean, the man's a great developer and all that, but what does he know about grandmothers using computers?
ALL PRAY TO THE GODS OF LINUX LIKE GOOD LITTLE/.ers.
You're completely right madprof - we are all just people at the end of the day. If he'd had some full-on visionary background like maybe Arthur C Clarke or Gibson or someone then I could undertand, but a kernel developer FFS!

Is there a shortcut key to get straight to the address bar? Like f6 in IE???
In mozilla, is there any way of seeing a reverse chronological list of all the sites you've visited that day?
NOT threaded by domain; just a plain list???
I use this in IE ALL the time and it's the one reason I dont run Mozilla as my main browser...
