I like the color-coded UPS outlets and readily available plug trough as well. I'm also really impressed by the eight LAN ports per office; like he says, one-port offices are for lawyers.
The window thing is really neat, but I'd have to see how much glare there is from all of the cross-lighting. Ion Storm spent a bunch of money on some nice skylights for their office only to have their coders drape blankets over their cubes so the Daystar wouldn't blind them.
Why? Because I had an account there. At some point they had a beta board, which had the amazing bug of changing your account's gender to female. The second it does this, I start getting all kinds of female-oriented spam. Hooray for sleazyboard.
If I recall correctly there's a Japanese widget called the "keiboard" which effectively is a cell phone number pad you plug in through USB to have a keyboard so you can use the ass-pain phone typing model to type on your PC.
Judging by the size of the autoclaves I've seen they get hot enough to melt cellphones into unrecognizable lumps of plastic. So that's probably a bad idea.
Well, that's what you get when your bootloader can be reflashed by tapping into the right holes on the motherboard. They'll start suing any time now to make it look like they can competently handle the implementation of TCPA without bungling it.
The scumsuckers who want to control what you see on the Internet are the same scumsuckers who probably like software patents.
Although it would be nice to see this destroy this particular piece of censorware, and some other ones by association (by making them look like total crap because of a lack of this "intelligent" filtering).
Parents can never be content with having their little darlings locked away; for some reason idiot parents seem to think their idiot kids are the greatest thing in all the world.
Otherwise, you know, they'd do things like divorce in front of them, and replace love with buying them thin... oh wait.
Maybe we should lock the little buggers away and then jail the parents as well for going to an idiot lawyer with a frivolous lawsuit.
I know I certainly didn't go out and try and shoot people to death after playing Doom. Or jump on people's heads after playing Mario. Or drop blocks on people's skulls after Tetris.
There needs to be some kind of law against these dumbass lawsuits.
Yes, without the six thousand pound gorillas that are notorious for crap-spewing on the GameCube, it makes it much easier for smaller publishers (which may/may not in fact release more crap, but at least different crap) to survive on the GC as opposed to the more decentralized releases on the PS2 and XBox.
Obviously the mainstream market believes that video games are not fun enough. Therefore we must add more non-interactive FMV, stupid movie licenses, and other crap to make it fit their ideal of "fun". Excuse me while I go back to playing xevil...
Read the parent. The funding is for internal Nintendo games as in those games done in Nintendo. As far as I've heard, Nintendo isn't releasing games for non-Nintendo systems..
The Canadian government should come out with a similar program, or at least one that functions properly (which may be hard for them, we may have to obtain licenses to use our phones leading to a cost overrun, etc.).
I can't see a problem with how all the telemarketing companies are complaining about not having any money left. To me, they're just as bad as spammers and deserve to be cracked down just as hard.
I sincerely hope this works as a wakeup call, not just for the telemarketing industry, but for the whole of North America when we start to realize how bloody annoying all forms of advertising are. I know I'd like to see more television than ads when I sit down to watch something.

It seems that you are speaking of Ralph Nader as though he no longer exists. He's fighting the USPTO currently, claiming that the current system makes lawyers and scammers rich and developers poor. He also ran in the last America presidential election and probably would have made a better president than the guy that did get it.
Ah, CNN, reporting macro-scale profiling from an anti-virus company as news. Where would we be without them? I wonder if they'll do an article speculating that anti-virus companies write viruses. Judging from their tech "reporting" that kind of uncertified FUD sounds right up their alley.
Yeah, I can't wear an Atari t-shirt or some guy will think I'm a greasy idiot pop-culture drone. A shame really, I like my 800XL.

Nintendo should be confronting this by going around to independent developers that look good and dropping a development kit in their laps. The idea that they attach strings to funding for already-sequelled games as long as they crank them out quick is stupid, and if that's Nintendo's idea of innovation the GameCube will be the last Nintendo system I ever buy.
These guys are making an incredibly violent, sociopathic game and they're not apologizing for it. Also, it's nice to see that Rockstar can do more than just milk their GTA/Midnight Club cash cows for awhile (it gets quite sickening if they put out the same two games per year).
I used to get solid stuff in all of my accounts but I haven't gotten a single piece of anything in the last week. Hate to say it, but vigilanteeism is the only thing that works.

I saw it in the Debian list and it looks okay to me. Then again, I'm a telnet kind of guy.
I just want them to make a game that won't disappoint me. Hopefully they won't butcher the Front Mission line of games, they're excellent.
This would explain his ability to reach inside of memory inside the system and futz around with what's there.

What, do you think hard drives are getting bought in bulk because of some new need to store gigantic software? XP doesn't suck that much disk space.
RTFA, there's a sidebar that says something to that effect.

It says in the article his nickname was "teekid". There sadly is nobody by that name here on slashdot. I'll bet you he was an AP.
