Actually, no, it hasn't, because if he were to write it, unless he directly plagiarized the existing works it wouldn't be anything like them except in its general theme.
I bought a 9800SE to softmod, but I get checkerboard artifacts. I used to be a 3dfx guy then an nVidia guy, I switched to ATI for image quality. If I wanted to sacrifice quality for speed I'd go back to nVidia. It does absolutely scream with the softmod on.
If I don't use the card, though, I'm just wasting money, so if it'll still be faster than my old 9600XT I'll put it in and run it native. I haven't had the time to swap them out and compare 3dmark scores yet.
I was always the same way, except in math classes, which didn't come easy to me. Professors were highly threatened by it - they would wonder why I didn't take notes, and think that I didn't care, when in fact I was probably listening much closer to them than the furious note-takers were.
This is slashdot. You're supposed to say "Those whose livers don't function right are weak and thus deserve to die." Then you yell and ask mommy for a glass of water.
Why in the hell do people do shit like this and PUBLICIZE it? All it does is give geeks a bad name and make a 'threat' out of anyone who carries an iPod or other digital music player.
I'm all for the freedom to write software like this but shit, you have to be smart about it.
Someone had better mod you up because this is one of the most thoughtful things I've seen on Slashdot in years. I've been trying to think of how to explain this for years in better terms than "people love to watch a good ass-kicking".
I did play through it, but I'll never be able to call it a classic because of the voices of the Hong Kong characters. I've heard better acting in dubbed Godzilla movies.
Fox is outsourcing audience development to the other networks.
Fox puts the show out there on their own network, and gathers some hardcore fans. They then cancel it when it gets cost-prohibitive, and sell the rights to Cartoon Network. If it fails there, they know it never had a chance. If it doesn't fail, then they know they could make more money on it so they buy it back.

and people wonder why Unix geeks are stereotyped as hippie freaks.

Offtopic:
would a 128-bit ATI 9800SE with 256mb of RAM be faster than a 9600XT with 128mb?
are you writing in some sort of Gibson-esque cyberpunk slang of your own invention?
Oh great, lyrics from Neil's "Royal We" period.
Goddamn how I hated Power Windows and Hold Your Fire.
It's not US-bashing, it's the GP poster actually making the point that s/he can't speak for the entire world.

Aren't those some OEM versions that aren't supposed to be sold without hardware?
big corps run screaming from those sorts of things.
Indie films are the only ones that matter anymore from an artistic standpoint.
Lucas is just pissed that he hasn't made as much off of the prequels as he thought he would.

That will never happen. north american cities are geared for making their inhabitants dependent on corporate medical care and fossil fuels.

Deus Ex was ruined for me by the horrendous voice acting in the Hong Kong area.
if you see a guy that looks like Jason Alexander and isn't bald, that's him.
the resemblance is uncanny.
A robot != a living thing.
PERIOD.
If you think it does, then you are not sane.
obviously you've never had bad neighbors.
now now, we can't have drugs that increase sexual activity! that could lead to immoral activities!
And boy, those McDonald's salads sure changed the fabric of our society, didn't they?
