He complains about regular users being able to render a system unbootable by letting them remove core system libraries. He's also very concerned about the lack of auomatic resolving of dependencies.
The guy who was working on the Doom port was trying to get extra memory from anywhere that he could so that he could load the WAD files entirely into memory.
He had this wonderful idea of allocating the frame buffer and then using the excess video memory to store extra data.
It failed miserably when he realised that you can't actually read from the Dreamcast's VRAM, only write.
In typical/bot style you contiue to show your ignorance on all things "M$".
In fact, if you bothered to check the System Requirements of Office XP you'd realise that nothing much has changed except now Office only runs really on Pentiums and has dropped the 486 as a minimum platform.
The average person still running on the "hunka crap" P2/w 64M of RAM running Win98SE should make short work of running Word and Excel. I know I did with my K6-2 300 and 128M of RAM running Windows XP. And I was running the *MINNIMUM* memory requirements for Office XP on WinXP which is usually a death wish for Office apps.
If the guy who submitted this story bothered to do some research before whining to/., he'd realise that Argyle Diamonds are also pretty clean when it comes to ethical issues. Although, this guy wants it cheap and clean so I don't think he's ever going to find a diamond that he'll "approve of".
I pity the poor girl with this idiot for a boyfriend. Although, I think she knows enough to know that if she questions his ideals, she'll be called a troll and the marriage will be off.
So according to your theory, Apache is unreliable and insecure because an exploit is found and therefore because of the installed base it will be vunerable for a very long time.
And I can send you an ELF binary with a virus attached to it and say "I am Anna Kournikova, I'm naked, and I sent you this document to have your advice, so please log in as root so you can see it properly"
If Microsoft tied up he bugs in Outlook and finally realised/admitted that secure by default is more important than snazzy and integrated by default
You mean like Outlook 2K2 in the Office XP suite that keeps its security settings on a setting thats tighter than a fish's asshole by default? That's right. It now assumes every email is out to get you.
Oh wait, my mistake. This is/. You people don't take notice of anything that Microsoft make less than 5 years old. That's why you still think Windows 98 is Microsoft's pinnacle of stability.
This is all despite the fact that many (but not all) of the Outlook "viruses" required the user to actually OPEN the emails. Get over it already.
Did you know that the huge amount of high speed memory is supposed to be just a texture cache?
What's supposed to happen is that insanely high resolution textures are supposed to be streamed from that gigabyte of DDR400 RAM that you have to back up that 128M GF4Ti4600. That's why we need more bus bandwidth. Trying to stream hundreds of megs of textures before the next frame needs to be rendered requires absolutely insane amounts of bus bandwidth.
It's $700 to be allowed to use the damn analog phone network. Once you've paid that you can install second, third, forth etc lines for MUCH cheaper.
And Japan's broadband you can't get any less than 1.5mbps DSL with all you can eat 8mbps links being thrown around like candy starting from a paltry $30/month or so.
Don't forget the many free dialup and ISDN (YES, FREE ISDN) providers that exist throughout Japan. Also, ISDN lines don't require the $700 levy to use since they aren't on the analog voice network. And you can also install DSL only lines without having to pay for a voice connection.
At least know the 101 about the subject before you go posting half cocked assumptions.
For fucks sake... you people are always "oh we have bug fixes in 24 hours... Fsck you M$ *uNF* *uNF* *uNF*" and now you have to use a WORKAROUND that may not work on everyone's systems and it's the VENDOR'S fault that SSH wants to use some specific feature that *THEY* think every vendor should have.
I'm sorry. It doesn't work like that. Fucking fix it the first time or don't release stuff you KNOW has security exploits in it. It's plain fucking irresponsible to do it.
Anyone remember Windjammers?

Tron 2.0 Game

· Score: 1
It was sorta like the disc game that was in the original Tron... Imagine if they did something like that for the new Tron 2.0 game. It would be so sweet! Even as a minigame
Stop hiding behind your pathetic excuses and start caching the fucking content of people that cant afford to handle your distributed denial of service attack.
Watermarks can't do shit until they are coupled with a DRM app. Until then, can we lay off "the sky is falling" and the self-righteous "we'll crack the watermarks because music just wants to be free!" posts.
Now that you have a subscription revenue coming in, do you think you could set up a cache for the smaller sites that obviously cant afford to take a pounding from >100,000 users in a 24 hour period?
Seriously, do you guys even think about the consequences of sending huge amounts of traffic to a non-profit organisation that probably barely survives.
Not that its illegal or anything, but to me it's rude and inconsiderate
And I was so looking forward to laughing at the "Why the hell was this posted? I dont want to know about stuff that will be released soon, I want to know when the stuff is released! Why the hell is this news for nerds? Why dont we just post when redhat makes another beta? Or when Linus builds another pre version of a kernel! Yeah that'd make a really interesting news site! Screw you slashdot!" posts...
Is that every group that has even a hint of an agenda in this project will be jumping up and down, screaming and pushing their own agenda.
This project can do a *LOT* of good for couples that cant have children naturally but who dont want to have to involve a third party who could possibly become attached to the child after carrying it to full term.
Its a pity the feminists are already jumping up and down, advocating that the destruction of their gender will be assured if this project comes to fruition. I can also see the right-wing bible bashers coming out of the woodwork to stop 2 male parents from having a child together.
I really do hope that this kind of technology becomes available to the people that really need it. After all, it is a sad thing to not be able to have a child with the person you love.
This article was quite good, had all the basics, the classics and what was good about the RTS genre.
What bothers me is, where is the section where they give you all the "dont do this when you make a RTS" games (eg, Star Wars: Force Commander). I know there were quite a few RTS games that I wouldnt touch with a 40 foot pole. I cant remember any of them offhand (it being 1:42am and all), but I do remember many a university lecture being skipped and me wondering "why the hell did I skip a perfectly good lecture for THIS crap?".

Instead of lobbying for MS-only or GPL-only laws, how about lobbying for the politicians to stop wasting our fucking dollars and use what WORKS.

I don't have any contempt for "M$". If you read it I was actually quoting the GNU hippies that always have a near-orgasm over their "quick bug fixes".

After their stint with the "take the heat sinks off, watch the athlon melt" FUD, I refuse to believe anything that comes from tomshardware.com.
I just wonder how many poor saps were caught by that rather large untruth and decided to buy a processor that may not be suitable for their needs.
