I am confused. The whole PR thing tells me it still wasn't fully ready according to a couple forums. If I was to ditch internet explorer TODAY, and install Firefox... is it ready?
It sounds like 1.0PR + a patches is technically available? I am looking for like a 1.0 FINAL.
I appreciate people's will to exercise their voting rights. The reality is.... up until 1960s, all election count was controlled by a single corporation. Things are masked alittle more nowadays, but it's the same thing.
If given a choice, I would take Bill Gates over Steve Jobs anyday. Ever watch that TV special with those two in the 80s. Gates was a complete geek, but Jobs was a geek with serious attitude problems toward his own engineers.
They portrayed him as this abusive chief with absolutely zero respect toward everyone who worked for him. Ego trip every day and made his engineers pushed to an unhealthy limit.
Bill Gates made bad software acceptable in the market. Steve Jobs would have made bad corporate culture acceptable.
To memorize map shapes by touch is hard. Not to be disencouraged but your sense of touch has to be extremely accustomed to recognition. I did an exercise where we learned the campus room numbers by touch, kind of live a class session visually impaired. I swear, it was unbelievably frustrating. It wasn't until afterwards that people suggested voice boxes be installed if pressed. They know the agony.
If linux can figure out a way to be built with NO Kernel Recompiling EVER, and have the kernel update as easy as swapping out 1 file, then linux will dominate the market for good.
I had everything running perfect in Unreal 2004 for the longest time. Until I installed the latest Catalyst 4.9 driver for Doom III. Now I play 2 minutes of UT2004 and it just dies. I think more people have ATI Radeon 9800 pro than 64bit processors.
What about our water supply. Since WWII our water has been flooded with toxic chemicals coming out of detergents and flouride. It's been 60 years, and our world is suffering from a boost of cancer rate every year. Stop nuclear use, we are ok. Stop water use, we are fucked.
I have never seen a company wanting to invest in OpenOffice because they just weren't approached by any sales guy. Managers who make purchasing decisions where they have to buy 20,000 licences have to think in terms of support. M$ office has support and sales guys, that's for sure. Whether it's a better product? It's questionable.
Man I so agree. Sun's taking the deepest stab at linux, yet it's the AMD and intel processors that make linux superior at times. Now Sun has allied with M$, which makes it even more mind boggling, since they too use AMD and intel.
Speaking of the shelf life. I had Doom 3 sitting at my house collecting dust for months until the working Catalyst Drivers came out for my ATI card.
If there is one thing I recommend half-life 2 is.... TAKE YOUR TIME. Make sure shit works. If I pay $60 the first day, it best impress the hell out of me.
Boy I am really worried now. I plan on buying this new smaller slicker unit with network adapter and I was serious NOT aware it can't have a HDD. Now I might consider buying the regular unit again. I don't know what to do?!
The greatest strength a country can have is publically acknowledging its weakness. For U.S to come out and say "monitor us", that's really something. Though I am still in huge favor of electronic voting from home. But that's a separate story.
Well with the original sims launching new addons for $19.99 every day, I was just waiting for The Sims: RTCW edition. Where I can send my character to The Beach or Fuel Dump.
If PSP can hold enough hard drive space to contend with iPod, then I'll jump for joy. Gaming and listening to mp3s on one device, that's too good to be true. Now if it can only be a cell phone, camera, voice recorder and camcorder...
The problem with this country is not the wages. It's the fact that we are being taxed thru the roof and it's going to this invisible tea tax. No one knows where the fuck money is going. We are just paying. As far as I am concerned, they are going straight to terrorists, and we won't even know.
I knew of a student from mainland China who lived at the prime of communism in the 80s. Today he's a U.S citizen. If there is one thing for sure... he can't believe the difference in American TV and internet news.
On TV we censor so damn much, but everything's fair game on the internet. And that's great. Google is now playing axis of evil. The last place a student from China could find real content is now being censored.
Very nice of you. My last email would incorporate the nastiest viruses + spyware + adware + a giant 2 gig mailserver clogging mp3. Email font will also be set to wingding 3.
If a simple low-cost receiver costing about $65, I think that's alot cheaper than U.S public education. I really don't know how edumacation money is spent in the U.S. Teachers are low paid, principal might be better, but all resources don't remotely add up to our tax dollars. Though all in all that's still better than colleges. Which now charges $65,000 easily in two years.
NO WAY. Hotmail gui does not cut it. You want to see good interface? Try using like an exchange server with remote Outlook client. No, not the MS Outlook.exe, but the online interface. That's about as good as online email gui gets.
Everyone's making these jokes about rats. Companies use them to test poisonous chemicals. They supposedly carry diseases.
As crazy as it sounds, nobody give these animals any credit. If it was not for mice testing, your hairspray may cost $100 a bottle. And people spread disesases too, so why blame the poor thing. Finally someone have figured out a way to use them for a new purpose.

For UT2004 I can honestly say from personal experience... there are WAY too many servers with bots out there.
I can't tell you how many time I am on a server with 1 other player. That's 2 human players + 14 AI players. No one really knows how that add up.

Does that mean future digital cameras might* not have TIFF support?

I think they meant on the video game Quake where people vote to kick certain players off.

If Nintendo can clone SNES games onto GameBoy Advanced and profit. PSP can do the same damn thing to PS2 and PS1 games.
I don't ever remember someone saying Metroid 2D on gameboy was a bad idea. In fact people wished gamecube has a Metroid 2D port.

Just go back to the classic-server rule of thumb.
1.) Desktop machines can use windows
2.) Servers must be unix based.
The user can corrupt the hell out of their hard disk, and they have only themselves to blame.
