Time to move away from the antiquated system of mailing lists. Web based forums are much easier to control and a far, far better way of sharing information with users. I hate coming across an otherwise useful site and then having to go to a mailing list to see what other users are talking about.
Only a linux zealot would think that users would be willing to dual boot. If windows does everything they need to do then what does linux bring to the table?
This isn't true. You do get a receipt for installing free products. When you download a free app you are basically purchasing it for 0 dollars. It protects you against price increases later on.
Right, because google made all their money serving ads to people who use FreeBSD. I think his point (although a poor one) is that without the windows users out there google wouldn't be anywhere near as successful as it is. He's pretending that is Windows didn't exist then Windows users wouldn't exist where in all likely hood they'd be OS/2 or Mac users.
Actually you wouldn't need to go through all that trouble to expand a raid 5 array. The 2.6.17 kernel lets you add disks to an existing array and then resize the array to use all the disks.

It used to be the case that assembly was needed to make the top end games but with the strength of today's optimizing compilers and all the extra cpu cycles that developers can play with theres no point to waste time writting assembly. Even the great Carmack has said that its not worth his time to get down and dirty in asm to get a few extra fps. Which would you rather have, a devloper spend two weeks rewritting the text rendering portion of an engine in assembly to squeeze out a bit more performace or have the lighting or AI improved. Its simply not worth the time and effort. Also, a game written on top of a VM could be a possibility sometime soon. Quake 3 had one and many other games do as well (although they're normally called scripting engines instead of virtual machines).
I'd only wish there was a windows version of Galeon. I use Opera but I would much prefer to use a Gecko based free browser but I can't find one that has all the features I love in opera (gestures, search boxes, a GOOD MDI interface). That and Moz doesn't seem to be able to import Opera's mailboxes.
So they can continue push the P4's. Intel doesn't want to compete with itself (remember the Tualatin (sp?)?) I just find it funny that they spend so much time bashing AMD's approach but on the other hand they have a backup in case they're wrong.
People *have* been doing that since the game's file formats were cracked about (about 3 months after it was released/0. They've made new units, new AI, and even a couple of new races. There was an open source version of the engine written in OpenGL (iirc). Don't know what happened to it, but if you poke around the TA Universe website you should be able to find something.
And this isn't the first time this has been tried. A group got together a few years ago to try to buy the source from Infogames. they didn't get very far.
No it isn't. But then again, a trip with a large family to Europe (from the US that is) would cost a pretty penny too. I think its a great idea and I envy Tito. I look forward to having that much money so I can go into space. Course by then we'll have a space vehicle that can make daily round trips...
Slashdot Mirror
Because Valve's customer service is pretty terrible once you get past the big picture items.
They can't ship the playstore but there's nothing stopping someone from installing gapps separately, much like you can do on the fire.
Google voice seems destined for the chopping block but when it works I love the product. Are there any viable replacements, even if they cost money?

Yeah, I'm sure allowing people to pirate apps easier is near the top of Apple's todo list.

If you care that much about 60 megs of ram for an app that you're using, its time to get more ram.
Perhaps this is because AMD only invested in Transmeta and didn't buy them out?

Seeing as the hammer is backwards compatable with x86 the cpu is a SISC design.

Actually, JC likes using assembly. Check out the quake1 source release and the tools that came with em.

SDL was started by Sam Lantinga. He now works for Blizzard on WoW (iirc),
