Yes - unfathomable that they should use a third party specialising in worldwide content distribution, rather than building the entire infrastructure themselves.
Take an electric motor from a remote controlled car, and wire it up to a 3.5mm jack. Stick the jack in a headphone socket, and then play some music - the motor won't spin, but it will vibrate. Now, gently bite the metal axle.
Near-perfect sound! Ok, it's not exactly audiophile quality, but we're talking about biting a fucking motor here; stick some R&D time in like they have and I can believe it'll sound fine.
I appreciate that you were just trying to be light-hearted, but you have to have respect for the Christian faith. Personally I find the site you linked to very offensive; I pray not just for you but for whoever it is that felt The Bible was a worthy target for parody.
I also understand that many parents are damning their children from birth, by not taking them to Sunday school, or any similar Christian learning events. I think this is more important than ignoring the violence inherent in video games, but symptomatic of the same uncaring attitude.
I too would like a featured advertisement on this "web-site". Please could you fax me your rates so I can decide what type of story would be best for me.
The problem isn't with the binary driver being removed - that can be distributed separately. The problem is with the exported function in the GPL module being removed. The only reason it was exported was to allow the binary driver to integrate with the module, and that was also the only reason it was removed.
"Even the reporters were laughing" - that's not such a rare amazing feat, y'know. Reporters in these events are rude and boisterous. It's like a locker room.
This is like saying "Even the hyenas were laughing".
The official consensus on this idea of video games affecting the learning process...was there ever an official consensus? It seems like one year video games affect learning adversely and the next year it promotes it! And you know we hear about something similar to this every year. Just some food for thought...
That's grand and everything, but don't you think that maybe they'll not have a press conference where they give out all of their IPs? The only people who need to know about the machines are the large banks, and I believe there's generally a policy in such places to not hire skript kiddies.
That's not a dangling participle, what with it not even containing a participle. It's merely a sentence ended on a preposition - the diet coke of grammatical errors.
The real difficulty is getting past the 1024 mark - once you get over 2^10 nodes (2^16 minus 6 status bits), all sorts of assumptions in the multi-CPU scheduling algorithm break, and overflows can occur all over the place.
Let's hope we hear stories about a 1025 node machine soon!
You're right. People aren't flocking to gmail because of the storage.
They're flocking to gmail because they are idiot sheep who can do no better than to follow pointless hype. People - get a grip! It's an email account! What the hell is wrong with you all?!
Oh, no complaints there. It was the Slashdot story that I originally took issue with (though the spin on the linked stories is questionable at best). The reason for my vociferous reply was that he didn't point me to the article as you did, but to the post which, clearly, does not single out invites.
Actually, I just got a reply from the article submitter to my original comment, which is worth reading as explanation.

LOL! OMG, that is sooo true!
The environment from which I do all this is Win2K, because I prefer it where user interaction is concerned.
Please retrofit your insightful observation to fit this datapoint.

HTH.

There were no legal ramifications either way.
For all of you who wonder what we mean when we say "zealots make it hard for businesses to take F/OSS seriously", this is what we mean.
"Milestone" indeed. Has anyone heard of a little something called "Gnome" that does a superset of all that KDE does, but faster and more intuitively?

Misplaced apostrophe's maybe lack of punctuation or run-on sentences are all pretty bad they could be Jolt Cola.

Or will they simply "take orders" from outsiders?
You guessed right on your second go. Nothing like a bit of mild xenophobia to brighten one's day!
Annoyingly you might have to log in to see it, but what the hell. Fact is you picked just the wrong day to make that dig ;-)

Cue a host of teenagers racing to prove how cool they are by saying things like "If there's no caffeine there's no point ROR!"
Laws against me killing fools like you infringe upon my 'right' to happiness. How does that fit in with your watertight legal reasoning?

Please see my reply to the post above yours. If you can't be bothered, here's the summary: You're a retard.
