No, they shouldn't charge you. This is bullshit. When you buy a coke can, you get a couple cents for recycling. Why should you be punished with a $10 fee when you are the one to care for the environment? If the industry really gives a fuck, they can start building biodegradable motherboards.
We don't need every chipset to change slot types every year. Do something more creative with engineering. I'd like to see my Pentium I board become Pentium 5 without new boards.
This is the biggest government scam. If Coke can replace glass green bottles with cans, so can hardware manufacturers. You can't tell me people who designed coke cans are smarter than people who design computers.
In the U.S you can't breathe the same air as Steve Ballmer and friends approves it.
The irony is that so many other countries are fully using pirated versions of windows, and they don't give a fuck about M$ EULA. I want to say Asia has got to be the worst.
Don't forget this generation of consoles mixed old ideas with new technology. We never had Sony eyecam, MMORPG, Steering wheels, online gaming on a console before.
Only problem with the iPod is the battery. Which is virtually dead in a year if you don't recharge at will. Headphones and sound was never an issue. Accessories I'd blame Griffith technology first.
I pray now that Take Two can have an exclusive deal with the NBA, if not the And-1 league. The EA NBA live series hit rock botton in 2003. Tried to make a come back in 2005 and it's still a joke.
I am shocked. This guy does not belong in the same league as Shigeru Miyamoto and the rest. The fact that he's even associated with Electronic Arts just destroyed this award.
The engineers who pioneered scaling, rotation and Mode 7 made 100x more contribution than this fucker in 1991. He didn't innovate in business or engineering.
I have a 5.1 Dolby/DTS setup sound system with gauge-16 monster cables hooked to a Onkyo receiver.
I have tried to spend $$$ on all these Soundblaster audigy etc on the PC, and nothing even rivals my living room 5.1 Dolby/DTS setup. Don't get me wrong, things sound good on the PC, just not insane.
Are u kidding me. You are using a website page hit as a metric to see if anyone uses mandrake. They could have downloaded it anywhere. There is no way to really measure whether some kid's bedroom secondary PC is running mandrake or redhat.
Well the catch is... it's free up until you end up looking at exhibit A. At that point, the code analysis will not be up to the lawyer. That's for sure.
Why the hell do we need another organization to promote open source. This is getting out of hand. Everyone is trying to be a chairman, CEO, head of board, so they start these unnecessary organizations.
How many foundations, consortiums, non-profit organizations we do need?! If you entity don't set financial, technical or legal standards, it's probably not really needed.
It must play games to be a home OS. You are paying so much for a hardware and OS that has literally just 40 games in its gaming library. Windows does this better.
It must scale well to be a server OS. Any linux will make a better server box than mac OS. Linux does this better.
NO way. The java handling in firefox is mediocre at best. A java applet runs faster on IE still. Not to mention IE will run the applet, infect your PC and format your drive all at the same time.
Can't help it. Mandrake is like a dying distro. It reminds me of RIP Turbolinux. Sure the company can fill the big void left by the lousy Redhat fedora.

As soon as I read rubber shark in Jaws, I was laughing so hard I was in tears.
Unfortunately I was also drinking and spit all over my keyboard and monitor.
It took us Americans hundreds of years to get democracy right.
Somehow Bush thinks Iraq will get it right in 4 years. Why are we so stupid to let him have a second term.

As much as I want Take-Two to kick ass. This list is pretty mild. They really need some firepower to go up against the competition.
MLB - A debate-able 3rd rank in sports games sales.
Civilization franchises - Didn't this live in the Sims shadow.
Elder Scrolls IV Morrowind - The original was never big enough to top final fantasy series.
Call of Cthulu: Dark Corners of the Earth - Don't know much about. Probably can't aim at the masses?
Don't forget this generation of consoles mixed old ideas with new technology. We never had Sony eyecam, MMORPG, Steering wheels, online gaming on a console before.
I honestly don't remember Apple working with IBM or Sun on any project.
Only problem with the iPod is the battery. Which is virtually dead in a year if you don't recharge at will. Headphones and sound was never an issue. Accessories I'd blame Griffith technology first.

I can't remember the name but there was also something similar to that for sun and linux with a 3D sphere gui.
Yeah, on top of that security, it comes with a retina scan. It should not blow out your eye socket by beta 2 or release candidate 6.

Bend a few laws? Bill Gates bend more laws than Saddam Hussein.
Dude you must be a lawyer. That was super recursive wording you used there.
I do fear that one day FPS will have subscription fees like the MMORPG model. You know video game companies nowadays, they do some crazy ass things.
Are u kidding me. You are using a website page hit as a metric to see if anyone uses mandrake. They could have downloaded it anywhere. There is no way to really measure whether some kid's bedroom secondary PC is running mandrake or redhat.
Well Sun really only have 2 choices.
(1) Use their own hardware, and make no money off it.
(2) Don't use their own hardware, and hire more developers to support infinite combinations of non-proprietory hardware.
Well the catch is... it's free up until you end up looking at exhibit A. At that point, the code analysis will not be up to the lawyer. That's for sure.

All of that will be useless cause Bill Gates owns portion of a satellite. Which automatically makes him the government and DC's favorite friend.

So Mac is stuck smack in the middle in limbo.

It's so unfair to compare PHP with Perl, C, C++. They are so disimilar, it's like comparing oranges and plastic.
ASP is the only language worth comparing with PHP since they serve the same function.
