but didn't that guy sound a little self-important? Sure the readers deserve a good review, but it sounds like this guy went and publicly demonized NVIDIA and ATI because he's under a lot of pressure. To me that seems a little immature given that many people in those 'large, faceless companies' probably think they're locked in the 'battle of their lives...'
To me the guy seems to think his job is really that important, when it's not... it's just a review, and if he wanted to clarify by saying that they sent it to him last-minute, then he should say so. He's getting a free card (at least for a little while) out of it, I wouldn't complain too much...
I for one am tickled by the news of a new clerks movie. The clerks characters were some of his best and resonated with a lot of our generation while Jay and Silent Bob satirized the buffoons we went to school with. After clerks, Smith just abandoned these characters to get all chummy with Ben Affleck... I've seen 10 million Ben Affleck/Kevin Smith movies... I want to see Randall! =)
Your bank will buy enron stock with your accounts, your credit card will explode, and your mind will begin to melt. Nuclear missiles will spontaneously launch and direct themselves to your house. Bush will be exposed as a witless robot when he begins to utter swahili at a press conference. The Martians will arrive from their base on the dark side of the moon, and the War of the Worlds will begin. Super-Bowl half-time will be unceremoniously interrupted when terrorists will arrive to sear off Janet Jackson's nipple with a laser in the name of Allah.
I share an office that's adequate for two people and I have a window and that really works wonders. You're not alone, but you're largely shielded from the rest of organization. People come in and out but nobody can stare into your office just by standing up. A window reminds you there's a real world out there... (no, webcams don't count. =))
I think you're glorifying the Japanese a little. You also have to remember that Japanese have different tastes in video games than say Americans do - the mosquito game comes to mind. =) I think in general, it's believed that Americans respond more to first person shooters while Japanese believe American games are more violent. I don't think they're more innovative - they're just appealing to different tastes.
gcc doesn't exactly produce the most optimized code - guess he didn't know about that. Oh well - just another java freak trying to justify his poor coding skills.:P
In the sense that your Windows desktop is just an explorer window that doesn't have a bar at the top, you already have a browser as your interface in that the windows are all capable of hosting HTML.
I think with Win95 OSR2, a lot of the UI was rewritten. I remember hearing that help was redone as HTML, and at least some of those extended views we see in 2000 and XP is done in HTML. Anyone remember Active Desktop? My take on it was it was just one or more MSHTML controls hosted in the explorer window. Neat idea, didn't really serve a purpose... That was always my take on the can't seperate ie and windows arguement - they used the MSHTML control in a lot of different things...
Not only that, but the latest info to be declassified on Roswell said what crashed was a large high altitude balloon carrying a payload capable of spying on the Soviet nuclear program. Apparently we've had a number of top-secret projects involving ballons; funny how it's the most widely used technology we never hear about...
I was looking for something exactly like this - thank you/.! =)
Finished skimming it and from the surface it looks pretty decent. Dunno how well it will be when it comes time to write code but from here it's already the best descripton of Mozilla tech I've read yet.
I think a lot of it depends on where you live. For example, 40k would be a little low anywhere in California, but would probably make a decent salary in many other states. I say if you can pay the rent, pay the bills, and still have enough go out once in a while or buy yourself something nice then you're probably doing pretty well.
Here in San Diego we typically see salaries 10-20k less than in the Bay Area, although the cost of living is not much less. We say we get paid in 'sunshine dollars'.
Yeah, but that's assuming Real can actually make a decent player, which they can't. Maybe I'm sucking teet with the big guys, but all I need is for iTunes to play WMA and WinMediaPlayer to do AAC and many of us would be set. Actually, FLAC support would be very nice too... Fuck RM, let it die already.
They've had a chemical called flourinert out for years - When I first came to my current place of work, you could see it coming out of the Cray we had in a little waterfall. It was kind of neat... As I understood it, oxygenated flourinert was what they dunked the little mouse into in the Abyss movie...

don't laugh man, I was a prospective student, a student, and now a staff member - i got fucked thrice. =)

If he's an idiot I must be too - I did the same thing last night to install a wireless adapter. This iMac's back panel is removable.
Damn, what is it made of? Oh wait, 15 meters = 49 feet high. Silly me (curse you metric system, you made a fool of me again!)
why are we bickering about whether it's for knowledge or fame or fortune? Everybody knows in the end, boys just want their mummy. =)

get out of your bubble, dude... =P
Their problem is they can't give in to the dark side. It is the only way...
WHAT WOULD IT MEAN TO YOU IF YOU GOT A SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPON?
Perhaps I could shoot the first family. =P
TELL ME MORE ABOUT YOUR FAMILY
What business is it of yours?
TELL ME MORE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS. I CAN OFFER INCENTIVES TO SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS.
Uh, how about we talk about something else...
SOMETHING ELSE...
You know, you're starting to sound like a program I wrote in introduction to programming...
WHAT RESEMBLANCE DO YOU SEE
You are not very intelligent-sounding.
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I AM NOT VERY INTELLIGENT-SOUNDING?
You never say anything but conservative rhetoric.
WHY DO YOU THINK I NEVER SAY ANYTHING BUT CONSERVATIVE RHETORIC?
You're a mindless tool for the Right-Wing Conspiracy.
DOES IT PLEASE YOU TO BELIEVE I AM A MINDLESS TOOL FOR THE RIGHT-WING CONSPIRACY?
Damn it! I knew it! You're just a useless Eliza hack!
WHAT ELSE COMES TO YOUR MIND WHEN YOU THINK OF ELIZA?

Hey I didn't think it was redundant - who said anything about poor coding skills or gcc? You moderators suck.. =)
gcc doesn't exactly produce the most optimized code - guess he didn't know about that. Oh well - just another java freak trying to justify his poor coding skills. :P
I think he comported himself quite well, actually.

wait a second, I get trolled for telling the truth? Do you guys have stock in Real, or something? lol
Yeah, but that's assuming Real can actually make a decent player, which they can't. Maybe I'm sucking teet with the big guys, but all I need is for iTunes to play WMA and WinMediaPlayer to do AAC and many of us would be set. Actually, FLAC support would be very nice too...

Man, you can't impress a girl with a 'mini' - everyone knows "bigger is better" with the ladies!
Here here! Real is a horrible piece of software...

Hell with the government! She'd be hell on wheels if I had to wear a collar like that!
