Next month, we'll see if Burnett can top these tricks, because he's launching his next game -- Gold Rush. He has hidden a dozen $100,000 stashes of gold (and one $1 million one) around the country, and sprinkled clues to their location inside various Time-Warner and CBS media properties such as Entertainment Weekly, the Netscape homepage, The Opie and Anthony Show and, of course, CBS' Survivor. Playing the game thus forces you to engage in a level of media synergy that leaves advertisers thrilled and me kind of dizzy.
This doesn't sound like a bright idea. If there is literally $1 million just laying around somewhere, I think we're going to end up with a few arrests for damage to property, plus some homicides before the game ends.
yes, emacs is the ultimate tool with directory browsing, spell checking, development tools, plus tens of millions of modules to do whatever else. i concur. but i still use nano for quick and dirty task, it's my equivalent to the windows notepad
In fact, some game accounts can be worth up to $10,000
Come on people, nobody is that addicted? Who can imagine paying $10,000 for a WOW account? It's as ridiculous as the price of some of the paintings that sell at art galleries! I can't imagine a game account selling for that much.

tech: ok, open a command prompt
customer: you mean like bash?
tech: uh, yeah, sure, try that, now type attitude update
customer: command not found
tech: really? oh wait, this one is weird, try a-p-t-i-t-u-d-e update
customer: there we go
tech: now when that's finished type attitude d-i-s-t minus upgrade
customer: command not found. try it again.
tech: a-p-t-i-t-u-d-e space d-i-s-t minus sign upgrade
customer: there we go
tech: next time RTFM and don't call me. you interrupted my new addiction, frozen bubble
I think this is a distro for people who already know/whant to learn GNU/Linux.
pretty useless for me.
But it's a start. HP offers Debian support. Next comes Company X. Then Company Y. Now there is competition, cause 3 companies support Debian. HP decides they want to jump out ahead of the crowd, so they start supporting Ubuntu and Fedora. Company X and Y slowly follow suite. The process continues. Boom, Linux is now part of every Server company's business plan.
"We've had a number of customers continuing to ask us to have broader support for Debian," and HP decided to oblige, said Jeffrey Wade, worldwide marketing manager at HP's Open Source and Linux Organization.
I thought the above quote from the CNet article was also particularly interesting. Hooray for those HP customers that spoke up. When HP says "a number of customers", I assume they don't just mean 5 or 10.
I'm confident HP's support technicians will have an intimate knowledge of administering and running Debian and will consistently provide helpful and accurate answers
It's tough to teach an old dog new tricks. Especially since the HP support folk are just used to saying: Download the latest Windows Update patches, restart your pc, and try again.
HP's offer will apply to the current "Sarge" version 3 of Debian and to version 4, "Etch," due in December. (Debian versions are named after characters in the movie "Toy Story.")
But is this mysterious 2nd turtle flipped over too? If so, then I have to ask the question: Why are there 2 turtles, out in the middle of the nowhere desert flipped over on their backs? Besides Mario, I see no other logical explanation?
'First Commandment: We shall establish our game's creative direction... Second commandment: We shall own our intellectual property... Third commandment: We shall not let a third party determine our success, such as the publisher who's doing (or not doing) the marketing, or the funding source (likely a publisher) making demands that are not in-line with our goals... Fourth Commandment: We shall have a small manageable team. We don't want 50 employees making one game over three years in house (we want low overhead), and we don't want to suffer the churn of ramping up and down for projects.'"
We will not create re-makes of classic games.
We will sue anybody who tries to make a rip-off version of one of our games.
We will not blame others for our own failures.
We are just going to hire a couple/.ers and work them 18 hour days.

Problem is, I just don't see these taking off. The big boys (Cingular/Verizon/Sprint) aren't going to want something like this
:-P
Of course it's destined for failure. Linux can't compare to the big boys! It's tooo complicated! Who's side are you on anyways?
It seems like there's a phone for everyone now...
Think this makes it a phone for supper geeks.
There are phones with spell checkers for those you can't spell!
There are phone for those geeks that like to eat supper!

That's insane, this one even has a $1000 bid already!

Sorry, WYSIWYG is not for me. I hate pretty things. I'll stick with good ol' nano as my website creating tool.
Have you tryed: shutdown -r now :D
Oh is this for servers
Yeah, duh. For servers you type: rm -rf /
I'd venture to guess that clueless Debian users are still 100 times smarter than educated Windows users.
Don't assume customers are criminals - Just because they name their distros and other applications after Satan.
Include technology that offers possibilities instead of hinders them. - Show me your source code and I'll show you a better product.
Let hobbyists modify what they buy and you'll get free publicity. - Jump into that Open Source buzz.

My guess: The reason they have no games? They've got their entire staff concentrating on getting PS3 out before the end of the next millenium.

Where do I submit my resume? Can I work from home? I'm pretty sure I'd enjoy that position over more than the C#.NET crap I'm doing right now :-)

The blog includes a poll asking if users think the US and Israel are trying to trigger a new world war.
Is there an option for Iran = yes, US and Israel = No?
It's quite a straightforward system, given how complicated the options are and how early it is in development.
I don't know about you, but I'm confused already. Is it straightforward? Or is it complicated? I lean towards the latter.
I'm going to google Angelina Jolie right now! What do you think of that?
