either you support them and buy their product or you dont. In fact, it is a testimony to your principles to not play the game especially if it is good. It doesn't take much effort to stand by your ideals if the game is crap now does it? Hypocritical.
Have met him. He's cool, if not a little bigoted and scary. I just think there's about 8 million people who are more interesting than him (and no, I do not wish to name them).
Why has no-one been to the moon since 1972? For those who cant count, that's 30 years. There are not even plans to go back even though we've (debatably) found ice up there (perfect for a settlement). I guess the next people to go will be from the private sector. Seems like a long way out though.
People who write *BSD code barely use their copy rights. So BJ doesn't cry too much about them but he does cry a little. People who write GPL code use their copy rights a lot more and they make BJ cry a lot more too. BJ doesn't like to cry but he does when something just aint right. If BJ could talk he would have said "hey, GPL dudes, rather than using the force of copyright to make people take on your philosophy (like you did with MCC and NeXt) why dont you spread the gospel. Convince them that it is better to release the source code to a C++/Objective-C front end so everyone can benefit." because BJ can see that RMS is just taking the easy way out by using the devils tools to do God's work.
is section 2(d): If the Program as you received it is intended to interact with users through a computer network and if, in the version you received, any user interacting with the Program was given the opportunity to request transmission to that user of the Program's complete source code, you must not remove that facility from your modified version of the Program or work based on the Program, and must offer an equivalent opportunity for all users interacting with your Program through a computer network to request immediate transmission by HTTP of the complete source code of your modified version or other derivative work.
Which is a lot harsher than any requirement that has ever been made of someone who makes a derivative program of something that is GPL'd. That bandwidth costs money ya know.
yer sorry, non profit copyright violation. I generally dont go around trying to sell everything I can get my hands on so I forget to clarify things like that.
To go to Mars or back to the moon with slow, low-powered chemical rocket systems is asking for trouble. The best a chemical rocket can do is get up to speed (burning up all its propellant in the process) and then drift to its destination, like a car coasting down the highway with its engine off. What's needed are space drives that will provide a constant velocity.
Err, excuse me. Maybe I'm not Mr Rocket Scientist but isn't "providing a constant velocity" exactly what chemical rockets do? Maybe you mean provide a constant acceleration. Sigh. When you have to correct NASA officials maybe it's time to lose faith in space exploration.
I used to think it was terrible the way games programmers never got any credit. You'd play a game and about the only indication there was that Activision didn't write it was one little spash screen at the start. Movies start with credits and nifty spash screens that make a big deal out of the actors, the director, even the people who write the music but games are generally considered to be a product of the distributor by most. Then an article like this comes along and you really can see why that is. Those head shots of the programmers should be reason enough to lock them in a basement and feed them caffine up and until the game is on the shelves and then get them another project, quick!
On December 16, 1997, President Clinton signed HR 2265 -- the 'No Electronic Theft' Act -- into law. The act, sponsored by Representative Goodlatte (R-Virginia), was passed in the House on 11/4/97 and in the Senate on 11/13/97.
Use the google luke. from here. As far as I know the US is the only country on earth that has criminalized copyright violation. Land of the free.
Slashdot Mirror
You would think Blizzard could have written a better review for their own game.
obviously it was a paid review. This kind of "game review" is about as realistic as a fanboy post.
Do you have anything to back up this opinion or do you just not like Vivendi Universal Publishing cause they're french?
either you support them and buy their product or you dont. In fact, it is a testimony to your principles to not play the game especially if it is good. It doesn't take much effort to stand by your ideals if the game is crap now does it? Hypocritical.

You gotta get out more.

QuantumG puts down the crack pipe now.

you have a link that is any less vague?
it is broke, that's the point.
and you're talking about code size. hmm.. glass house.
that they are silently manipulating your world view with every article, but that's what newspapers are for right?
That 84% of statistics are made up on the spot.

He ment acceleration, for sure.
He clearly ment constant acceleration.

if you preinstall AOL-for-linux on your linux-for-the-desktop distribution it does matter.
isn't there people reverse engineering the AOL protocol to do exactly that?
One has to agree, although I thought "modern day voodoo doll" was kind of amusing.

would be ctrl-a ctrl-c ctrl-v and I guess on a linux box you'd just write a perl script :)
What's that? They gunna put lots of soft porn around the article?
