To see how much microsoft sues the person who wrote that worm, or if it's someone from a third world country, they might just take a nod to the US government and post a 25 million dollar dead or alive bounty.
Maybe the US government should spend more time fixing the high unemployment, school-funding crisis, and widespread drug problem and less time helping rich hollywood hacks line their pockets with more dough.
I don't know about you guys, but I still don't think CGI is ready for the big time. In every movie it looks so obvious that there was CGI used that it almost ruins the movie for me.
Even movies from the 80's that used blue screens for everything looked more realistic than today's CGI aided movies, CGI just isn't advanced enough yet to be convincing. You also can't reproduce the human touch of make-up and hand produced costumes you get with using real actors.
I find it funny how people talk about these so called "asteroids" that might strike earth and cause massive destruction. The idea of "giant rocks flying around in space" is almost impossible the fathom to any educated christian scientist. I believe these "asteroids" are just liberal propaganda.
First of all, many people claim asteroids are what killed dinosaurs millions of years ago. This is impossible. God created in the earth in 6 days, not millions. It is entirely possible to assume then that dinosaurs and humans roamed the planet at the same time. At the time of the great flood (caused by God, not an asteroid!) the dinosaurs were too big to fit in the arc and that is why there are none today.
Any educated right-wing christian knows that God is the only one who will cause massive destruction to earth, not a "floating ball of rock from outer space". There is no way to predict God's actions, we must simply have faith and follow his word. No tsunami will sweep away the faithful.
Asteroids are simply the liberals way of trying to disprove God and attack the believes of educated right-wing christians! Do not accept this misinformation!
Lets talk about Jon Carmack. Jon is the legendary programmer of such classic PC games as Wolfenstein, Doom, Duke nukem 3d, Quake 1, 2, and 3, unreal, and the upcoming doom3. Jon has single handedly created the genre known as the first-person-shooter. He has also popularized the Direct3d 3d format over Microsoft's competing Opengl format, as well as caused public interest in 3d cards when he first released accelerated quake for the s3 virge chipset. Jon carmack has redefined gaming on PC's.
Now stop for a moment and think... What would have happened if Albert Einstein had worked creating amazing pinball games instead of creating the theory of relativity? Humanity would suffer! Jon carmack is unfortunately doing JUST THIS, using his gifts at computer coding to create games instead of furthering the knowledge of humanity. Carmack could have been working for NASA or the US military, but instead he simply sits around coding violent computer games.
Is this a waste of a special and rare talent? Sadly, the answer is yes.
Unfortunately, it doesn't stop there. Not only is Jon carmack not contributing to society, he is causing it's downfall. What was the main reason for the mass murder of dozens of people in columbine? Doom. It's always the same story... Troubled youth plays doom or quake, he arms himself to the teeth, he kills his classmates. This has happened hundreds of times in the US alone. Carmack is not only wasting his talents and intelligence; he is single-handedly causing the deaths of many young men and women. How does he sleep at night?
Carmack is a classic example of a very talented and intelligent human being that is bent on total world destruction. Incredibly, he has made millions of dollars getting people hooked on psychotic games where they compete on the internet to see who can dismember the most people. I believe there is something morally wrong when millions of people have computerized murder fantasies, and we have Jon Carmack to thank. Carmack has used his superior intellect to create mayhem in society. Many people play games such as quake so much that their minds are permanently warped. A cousin of mine has been in therapy for 6 months after he lost a 'death match' and became catatonic.
It is unfortunate that most people do not realize how much this man has damaged all the things we have worked hard for in America. Jon has wasted his intelligence, caused the deaths of innocent children, and warped this country forever. To top it off, he got rich in the process and is revered by millions of computer users worldwide. Perhaps one day the US government will see the light and confine Jon Carmack somewhere with no computers so he can no longer use his intelligence to wreak havoc on society.
My cousin had a in car DVD player in his Audi A4, and he greatly regrets this purchase. While driving on the highway during a sunday afternoon he was momentarily distracted by a fight scene in the latest Vin Deisel flick and in that split second his car hit another.
After several surgeries he has regained his normal functions (his left arm was severely injured) but his car was completely destroyed. He has vowed to never install an entertainment system again and his new bmw 330i simply has a standard cd player.
If this is the kind of destruction a in-dash dvd player can cause I would hate to know what kind of horrible accidents will happen due to xbox gaming or linux core dumps distracting one's driving!
A friend of mine was into the spam game for a while. At the age of 19 he was making much more than any of the unix programmers I knew. He recieved several death threats from basement dwelling geeks and most of them have been tracked down and charged for their heinous crimes. My friend got out of the business after other members of his family were threatened too.
Remember, while spamming is a grey area subject, death threats are illegal. Whatever twisted morals you might have, if you threaten a spammer with violence expect to be tracked down and charged for it.
Quake would be one. It was one of the first real 3d first person shooters. The lighting, combined with Trent Reznor's twisted soundtrack, made this a real experience. While games like doom or wolfenstein were great, they still had that "video-game" feel to it. Quake was the first game that really gave me that sense of claustophobia and panic.
Another notable example would be Starcraft, which affected me greatly as I lost my tan and my social life because I spent so many years playing it online!
If the USA is "rebuilding" Iraq, shouldn't they be the ones funding the rebuilding of it's internet? Or is all the money simply going to go to rebuilding the oil wells?
Yeah it should also be noted that there is no longer a version of logic available for PC thanks to Apple buying out the company.
Basically that means that lots of home studio people who can't afford proprietary MAC hardware are out of luck if they want to get any updates for logic audio.
It seems apple's strategy might be to FORCE us to switch... Sounds almost like something MS would do.
They showed windows XP blue screening, which never happens...
Sure windows XP might crash from time to time, like any other OS, but it doesn't ever show a blue screen of death... the BSOD died with the win9x line.

Whoever it is is in A LOT of trouble now.
In 1993, I thought in 10 years that macs would catch up and surpass PC's. How young and naive I was then!
Outlook isn't ready for the desktop.
Windows is just fine if you don't use outlook.
Maybe the US government should spend more time fixing the high unemployment, school-funding crisis, and widespread drug problem and less time helping rich hollywood hacks line their pockets with more dough.
I can't wait to use this to meet linux booth babes, I just hope they don't end up being 17 year old slashdot trolls.
it was coded by a dangerous hacker
South Korea has tons of "hackers" who ruin online gaming by cheating and flooding servers.

This is all true.
Fyodor used his network tools to "hack" into stanford university and then went on to spy on sdem for 6 hours.
A truly illegal and immoral activity.
Do you mean NUCLEAR ?
Just because George Bush Jr. pronounces it "nucular" doesn't mean that is how it is spelled.

I'd still like to see a win32 port of rise of the triad!
BSD is getting closer to a 5.0 release!
That's great, means they are getting closer to winxp (which is windowsNT 5.1)
They showed windows XP blue screening, which never happens...
Sure windows XP might crash from time to time, like any other OS, but it doesn't ever show a blue screen of death... the BSOD died with the win9x line.
I doubt internet tv would work out in japan, seeing as those asians just love to pirate every form of entertainment.
When games start bleeding into real life, it's time to see a psychologist.

Ludicrous gibs!
every so often when you kill someone there would be 3x the gibs.. I wish more games had this!
On christmas day, the game gets xmas music and an xmas theme...
there are other easter eggs too.
If I can't buy a used cd, what do you think I'm going to do?
copy it from someone else.
