for that amount of money, you could have bought a faster video card and CPU in the first place and cooled it with a $20 fan, and wouldn't have to worry about keeping the water-cooling system running or worry about it leaking all over your mobo.
Please don't insult Perl by advocating any part of it with phrases like "the bee's knees". A bee's knees are small insignificant bits of chitin. That is not Perl.
For that matter, anyone who uses that phrase should be drawn and quartered and then fed their own intestines, but I digress.
they don't want to stop it from being sold online, just being made available without them getting their cut. It's the same thing as a mafia style protection racket. There's a RICO case to be made against the RIAA.
What about the Unreal* engines? They get licensed from time to time, but there's no info about that in this article.
Technologically the Unreal engines have been superior to the Quake* engines from the start, but they used a different design model (everything is compiled UnrealScript) that makes them a little harder to work with than the old faithful BSP-type engines.
That's the corollary to my point. I've been in the same situation, and I didn't address it because there's no real answer.
The only thing to do is move to another job where you CAN innovate - that's if you care to.
Most people I meet, especially the ones with families, could care less about doing "cool" things at work and would rather just have a steady, relatively secure job to pay the bills.
What can we do to keep the spirit of innovation alive while this 'IT is bad' era lasts
This is easy - innovate. Don't just buy new hardware and upgrade software, do something that IMPROVES life at the office. There's more to IT than scalable switches and making sure that you can ping the server. Come up with new applications of the technology and make yourselves valuable.
Create your own value, the rest of us have to do it.
the voice has always been an instrument, this is what classical voice theory relies upon. Enya didn't invent this, she just kitsched it up and created the "celtic new age" genre.
yeah, see, if I'm facing customers and other businesses, I have no problem with dressing appropriately. I still don't own a suit, but I'd never wear jeans and a t-shirt to a sales meeting. That's just dumb.
But if I'm sitting in a cube all day writing code and I only talk to other people that are doing the same thing, and the customers are in different buildings/cities/countries/whatever, then my attire has nothing to do with my ability to do the job, unless I'm one of those people that works better when they look better.
I'm in a relaxed office, too. Most people at my office routinely wear jeans and a polo/oxford type shirt, and sneakers. They only tell us to dress better when there are major clients in the office for meetings.
I suppose it depends on your perspective. I believe that the most honorable way to live is however one chooses to live. If I choose a lifestyle and am happy with my choice then nobody has any right to tell me I'm wrong.
However, if someone else chooses a lifestyle FOR me, then my true self - the person that *I* choose to be - is being suppressed.
Say that we're talking about something good for you like eating a certain vegetable. Would you rather choose to eat the vegetable because you read the facts and know what nutrients it supplies, or be told to eat it because, well, people in your social stratum are supposed to?

thank you. since we know that hoping
at any rate, I made a bunch of people waste their mod points on a useless post.
Ever seen Ishtar? I think we've got a winning road act here.
we're off on the road to Sheboygan
we'll dine on the sand which is there

ok, noise, you have a point. I have had overclocked machines in the past that had 5 or 6 fans in them, and it got to be ridiculous.
Still, a little noise is worth keeping that $300 to me.

That's because you are ignorant, gullible dipshits that don't have enough initiative to question the preacher.
Furthermore, your sig and post are in quandry.
And get that thing out of your sister's mouth.
I'm thinking the gravity balls make noise, and that kind of cuts out the secrecy aspect of it, right?

damn the machine. why don't I have mod points today? +1 Funny
so, then, does thinkgeek shrink-wrap its copies of Linus' book "Just For Fun"?

rebellion is just conforming to the minority. there is no such thing as unique behavior.
