Call of Duty stats are far more accurate than Enemy Territory stats, which are warped to hell with all these cheats. That game is officially doomed on the network. There is not nearly enough patches, and there are far too many hacks immune to punkbuster.
"Infinite landmines"
"Airstrike thru walls"
"1 hit kills"
"Super fast ammo charges"
"Starting campaign with top level abilities"
I am not making this stuff up. I talk to enough ET admins who monitor their servers up close. Even they don't know how to actively ban and kick 24/7. As if ET pro bringing down everyone's performance wasn't enough to affect stats.
Oh please modems aren't even a rip off. You want to see rip off, buy some ATI Radeon video card when it's straight out of the oven. I did, and it was just a mistake and a half.
It pretty much ends up sitting around for months until Catalyst drivers are stabilized and released. And if the new one doesn't give improvement, cha ching.... another month. What's funny is that drivers don't progressively get better. It's a constant up and down cycle, where every driver release is a wonderful surprise!
OR you can play the cards alittle different. Make it seem like if your company don't deploy linux, they are missing out.
I want to say the big linux advantage is to let people deploy at will. But let's face it, M$ is only pretending to care about piracy. So it's not really an advantage anymore.
Ventura once said "We legitimately only have 1 more choice than Iraq. Everything is so marketing oriented, even if Ralph Nader is the best candidate, he'll never get more than 1% vote." We should get rid of the democrat republican concepts, and vote against the candidates individually. Right now, it's the 2 billion dollar parties versus any other individual. Wonderful system.
While I am not an xbox fan, even I have to admit more competition was good for sony and nintendo. I can only hope M$ release some handhelds in the future to push prices around some more.
According to Newsweek magazine, Sony has announced a PSP price of US $194.00. That gives me officially ZERO reasons to get the DS. The fact that PSP can be an mp3 player means the world. And the next person that saids PSP is limited to a 128MB flashcard has no idea what Sony's up to.
But the reality is, it doesn't matter what Bill Gates say. Yesterday he said Internet Explorer was the safest, fastest more reliable browser. That doesn't mean you should go launch a massive research to see if it's true.
This sounds like a very advanced version of XFS?! Are they saying MANY people can rm and cp and write to the same exact point in the filesystem simultaneously. Looking at the specs, I am struggling to see what's special.
Seriously I hadn't noticed this game was that good until people I worked with were hyping it up. I was tempted to get a Xbox just to play it. But after the long drawn out description, I couldn't tell if this game was that much better than Unreal Tournament 2004. And even then, I could think of a couple online games better. PLease, I am not flamebaiting. I am just wondering what's great about this game, that I can't find anywhere else?!
YOU WANT TO SEE ECONOMIC BOOM? I'll tell you how it gets done. All hi-tech folks should just boycott work for 1 week. The stock market and every other management person will find that they cannot live 1 day without hi-tech assistance.
When we all get back, we'll all demand raises. If it doesn't work out, let's go on another 2 week boycott. Repeat until every industry know our value! Financial tycoons rule with their money. Military dictators rule with guns. Techies rule the world... somehow that hasn't been absorbed yet.
Not to be mean.... On one hand I want Bush to leave.
On the other hand, I want to see Bush-voters who cheered "4 more years" to suffer financial & economical devastation. Nothing against you, but if you wanted a president who has more involvement in Iraq than your own country, you mind as well turn in your U.S. citizenship. Before you mod me down to -100, I am just fighting for the U.S middle class.
Ha ha ha, you're all victims of election fever, that's why all these recruiters start calling. Wait till the "4-more-years" slogan take in effect about 9 months from now, and the economy will tank to new depths of hell.
Ever since I started buying music on iTunes, I have yet to buy an entire album. What does that suggest? There are too many junky tracks on every CD. There is no reason to make consumers pay $12 for CD, when I can download the track I want for $0.99.
The sad part is the consumers are being blamed, when the record company execs steal the most. They don't need a promotion everytime an artist successfully go mainstream. If anything they should be fired for the lack of promotion of new artists. So many good artists out there are invisible under the radar unless you sample on iTunes or something.
It's not a matter of Google sensoring. I am not afraid that a damn pic is not available online. It's the political concept behind it... what else is censored?!
After WWII many Germans learned of the scale of the holocaust. Many couldn't believe they were part of the nazi administration so indirectly. I fear that the Bush administrations are up to a WHOLE LOT MORE. And I don't want to find out 50 years later that half this country in 2004 has voted for a Hitler of a different kind.
That's right. Evoting is discussed everyday on slashdot. It doesn't freaking matter. Every system the US deploys is corrupted. We know democrats won in 2000 and now 2004 again. And the 20-30 year old citizens are blamed every election for not showing up, thus allowing republicans to win. There are just too many conspiracies going on. Way too many to bring up.
Well that is the idea. We are going to slaughter Middleasterners by day. And when the troops go to sleep, we'll bring robots there so the killing goes 24x7. And when this group of troops get tired, we'll reactivate the draft. Then we'll send thousands more American lives to slaughter million more Middleasterners. Friend, Foe, Robots... who cares. It's going to be a win-win situation as long as we got Bush. Hail Bush!!! Isn't that the reason why everyone voted for him.
Damn right. Novell goes on these $$$ campaigns to embrace new ideas all the time, but nothing good ever come out of it. To say this company can't change with time is an understatement. Novell has been out of sync with the rest of the industry since the beginning of the dot-com boom.
The reason why original HalfLife was such a success is because it ran fluidly on every video card. HalfLife 2 with or without mods have quite a steep requirement to climb. If it's anything like Doom III, I'll wait for double-digit patches.

This is like the 8th article of the month regarding "what you can do with your Xbox hardware." Either...
1.) There aren't enough good xbox games and we have to turn them to toasters.
2.) M$ is feeding slashdot money.
3.) M$ is still trying to counter playstation's success with running linux.

That's a really good observation here.

Come on people, do you really trust Microsoft products that has a version number until 1000?
You'll probably set to record the Playboy channel and end up with an episode of Teletubbies.

Yup do the math. Very typical american corporate practice.
4 divisions = 4 x the layoffs

Despite what mozilla marketing said, the "PR" was the biggest reason why so many weren't ready to try it. Some people said it stood for...

pre-release

"full time at an accredited university"
That's just wrong. Some of the best programmers and computer folks I ever met, didn't even go to colleges.

If location doesn't matter. Then why is everyone getting ripped off from real estate cost.
Oh convincing Congress won't be hard at all. Just mention WMD along with the demons, and the troops are on their way.
