If you are going to go on about translating bash people for not doing it even though there are perfectly good reasons not to at least to a good job of translating. Japan Business Newspaper is Engrish at best.
only after you pointed it out. I kind of scanned over it and missed it the the first time;) . Yeah, that was a rookie move.

most modern games don't require you to fuck with the camera, it just works.

you had me going till you said super mario 64. Controlling that game was never a piece of cake, the awefull camera in it sure didn't help, and neither did the awkward controller that forced your wrists at different angles. If you want to find modern games that are as simple as the old ones you could do much better than that example.
>> As a Type II diabetic that's almost underweight, I resent that. I'd also like to point out that eating too much sugar doesn't give you diabetes; at most, it aggravates a tendancy toward it. Try learning what you're talking about before throwing insults around.
type II diabetes has been reported with increasing frequency this century. The effect is almost certainly environmental. All I was saying is that poor diet can lead to a condition that makes you fat. I pointed out an example that hit a nerve. It's your fault you were insulted.
you can pull anectodes out of your ass till the cows come home. People didn't all of a sudden start to have more disseases that made them fat, people are just getting fatter and blaming it on more shit. It's like the guy who drinks double big gulps for most of his life, gives himeself diabetes and blames his fatness on it. Yes there are poeple that are fat through no fault of their own, I don't know wether the english system gives them a pass or not. As far as smoking, I've never heard of people's hearts being better afterwards, sound like something you made up. Regardless a few anectodes do not prove anything.
so we have a half-social system that brings out the worst of both worlds. If you can't afford treatment, you have to wait till it's a costly emergency. Or you will never be able to walk because physical therapy is non-emergency.
Everyone else getting medical treatment pays for the emergency treatment. At least the english system punishes you for an unhealthy lifestyle. I think the waiting lists are a result of a limited amount of doctors, so everyone waits in line.
IMO, the hospital should basically provide you a "menu" with prices on it. When was the last time you went to a hospital and they told you upfront how much it was going to cost. It should cost the same for everyone including insurance companies. If you could actually compare prices across hospitals you may start choosing the less expensive one. Oh and deregulate the whole malpractice insurance industry.
Like I said the problem in the US could be fixed either by going free-market, or socialist, but the mixed system is just too fucking confusing.
links are just signposts. They can't violate a copyright.
Perhaps where they are pointing to can violate it. Even in this case it doesn't. The guy just has patches. It only violates the DMCA. The links themselves though are not in violation of anything.
It's like a rorschach test. If you think "overly sexually(sic) monkey" it says something different about you than if you think that it's the closest animal related to humans.
yeah, they thretened legal action over a LINK!! Who cares where it points to. Is apple gonna threaten slashdot over this link or is it just a bully and picks on the little guys?

So you're argument changed from, "this isn't some corporation stopping on a little guy" to stomping on a little guy is legal, and profitable. Therefore it's the only thing to do. I hope at least you are no longer wondering why having your rights to free speech violated might make someone "lather at the mouth"

I've always been under the belief that what ever is happening in computer games will happen on the consoles in the future. Given the current state of the gaming market in general, perhaps consoles will stop sucking again.
>> Neither of these tasks is important for a desktop user. Large software compiles, scientific analysis -- these are specialized tasks and sure multiprocessor machines will help. The market for these, however, is specialized and limited.
You could have said this for the past 20 years and been correct. Somehow though most modern software would do poorly on a 486.

>> We also don't have doctors refusing to treat patients because they're overweight or because they smoke.
no instead we have doctors refusing to treat patients because they don't have health insurance, or because they are poor. How is that any better.
>> It is ludicrous to suggest that just because someone is "right-wing" that they bash Muslims.
The biggest muslim bashers tend to be right wing. Would you really argue there is no correlation.

actually they are apes. Chimpanzees are a different, yet closely related species.

are those people that die of starvation in Muslim countries?

>> Good god, these "I deserve to run OS X any way I like" arguments are tiresome.
How about the I can put whatever link on my page I want thread. Apple force a site to take down LINKS!!!
This is the link to the so called forbidden site Last I checked posting a link wasn't illegal.
Apple threatened a site, for talking about shit. That is just crap. These sites were just forums.
Glad to see the apple astroturfers in force.

They will work, but only in the Southern Hemisphere.
>> Most CPU-bound applications are actually memory-bound.
Then they would be called memory bound applications. In my line of work applications are strictly cpu bound.
