A lot of people say that PPC Linux has been historically slower than X86 Linux but I honestly cannot see the difference when running my K6-2 and Power Computing machines side by side. Has this been squashed, or can someone provide evidence to the contrary?
The sad thing is, it'd probably be faster to fab the G4 yourself from cobbled-together equipment than Apple's current wait times for new shipments from Motorola.
I would think most people would be bright enough to wake their machines up with Control or Shift, like I do. Beats the hell out of accidentally picking a menu option because you left the machine and forgot about it.
I've noticed that neither Firefox nor new versions of IE let you do the www.cnn.com@http://myattackersite.com phishing vulnerability; Firefox warns you (as long as myattackersite.com doesn't request authentication), IE just doesn't let you do it as far as I've seen (but this is hearsay; I haven't used IE in years).
You could probably plant a suicide note of some kind. I wonder how that would be taken by the police, whether or not it would be official "evidence" to be considered because it's electronic.
Now that we have cars that keep straight in slippery roads, and have airbags to protect us, is learning to actually steer and drive necessary? Of course it is.
Typing is bloody essential to using a computer, and if the hamhanded dolts in education think that they can somehow bypass this by raising more moronic mouse-only users interacting with their computers like gorillas, we're in trouble.
Plenty of people still use CDROMs, for example most commercial software -- it's been what, 21 years since the first CD was developed and it's still not "obsolete" yet?

Cheaper? People who are alive have an unfortunate tendency to need food, water, and adequate plumbing. Those things cost money.
And burn down your house.

This link? Seems pretty interesting. Ars is full of all kinds of fun stuff.
Not to mention mangled quotes. I'm starting to wonder why Forbes even exists in this day and age with such quality technology reporting.
Though perhaps that's where all those failed companies in the late nineties went when the Internet killed them.
That's very admirable, I think. It would be nice if certain other religions allowed that sort of thing for their followers.

Ditto here. It seems like the more excited gaming fanboys get about it the less I care about it.
I haven't even bothered to play Doom III past the first fifteen minutes yet.
The guy doesn't learn after getting haxored?
Not to touch off a flamewar, but he worked for Microsoft on the Windows team for quite some time in the past before forming Valve.
Yes, because I'd sell the TV and then be able to afford DVDs.
You've made Slashdot Games one of the most mature and interesting games-related pages I've ever read. The signal-to-noise ratio is great.
Good luck, you'll find a lot of other great writers to buddy with at Gamasutra.
Way too buggy, not worth the money. I'm surprised anyone cared enough to bother getting it running under Transgaming's money pit.

They could turn around and then sell out the spammers to authorities for twice the going rate. Profitable!

Done that before. Usually the recycling guys get angry and ask you to leave. Pity, I could use a nicer box than my K6-2/200...
I believe there is a warning on the front of most DDR machines already.
Well, it's only appropriate that the rest of the world seems to be afraid of game developers. After all DOOM causes school shootings and such.
The solution is to declare war on game developing terrorists.
There goes their entire customer base. :)
(Just kidding, I'm sure there are very few people who cheat in CS.)
QNX. Duh.
Not to mention this one appears to be hard-coded.
I think "EAT YOUR BRAAAAAAAAANNNNEEEEEE" needs to become an Overused Slashdot Joke(tm).
