By having this article available on slashdot. Aren't we making slate more recognizable and noticable? Which will raise its value before M$ sells it. Which means more $$$ in M$ pocket.
This is lame. Dentist offices are opened like 8hrs a day. If they want to maximize profit, they need to rob 7-11 convenient stores with their music fee.
It's funny how a cracked copy runs faster without movies. Takes up less MB space because of no movies, and it doesn't need a no-cd crack. I can't think of 1 PC game that I legally purchased that gave me all 3.
Ok, you got IBM linux, SGI linux/altix, Solaris technically has linux too. Then within linux you have a thousand distros. What about people who run windows but use linux thru vmware, does that count? And you wonder why I hated statistics class.
I don't know if anyone attempted to use Kazaa lately. But 98% of anything I download off Kazaa has been decrypted with an annoying buzz noise. You can't even get songs off Kazaa P2P anymore.
And sharezilla sucks, everyone I know who installed it has gotten blue screens of death. Is there a linux P2P alternative? There, U2 shouldn't worry.
Isn't there some special online protection plan that can remburse you in case of an online purchase fraud? Why don't people just get one of these cards specifically for ebaying.
There are too many holes and gaps in the patent system. Everything is so vague you can patent a flying car... just on a plastic model alone with some BS blueprints.
It's a complicated subject that gets even more complicated as time goes on. Like the Xeon Pentium chips that count as multiple processors in windows.... but it's really 1 physical chip. What if they were emulating stuff thru vmware. Now 1 chip is really on multiple OSes. Etc Etc.
No licenses today can contractually prepare for innovative stuff in the future. That's why 90% of hi-tech lawyers should quit and leave us techies alone.
1.) If they put in vehicles, then we need a sausage wagon.
2.) She needs to change clothes in between mission, and shower too. And lara never gets wet coming out from the water? Hello. Where are the special FX.
3.) The missions in general lack creativity. How about delivering a truck full of cocks and then the chicken turn out to have explosives inside. Which she can use to destroy the tomb as a finale.
That is true, the MX series are a complete joke. A GEforce 3 Ti500 will blow Geforce 4MX out of the water. It's bad marketing like this that put geforce4 on everyone's desk. And everyone complained, thus ATI jumped ahead for a while. Though let's be honest people should be using Matrox 2D cards in the office.
I have said this before. No 2 other companies are more responsible for the success and failure of PC gaming. If video cards work like they should...
1.) There won't be 8 million forums for troubleshooting. You don't see tons of PS2 owners complaining about their games not working.
2.) There wouldn't be a new driver needed every month. There is no reason for regression. The old drivers should never work better than the newer ones.
3.) There wouldn't be overburned cards and returns. Christ, I shouldn't have to run a cable to my bathtub.
It's about time someone somewhere considers using a decent engine to make RTCW. Enemy territory engine plain sucks by today's standards. It's so poorly made they released the game for free. The game concept is excellent, but the game is in need of bug fixes, stronger punkbuster and everything else in between. Compared to other games, it runs lousy on my AT Radeon 9800 pro 128MB.
Not to mention marketing isn't really the problem here. Plenty of developers like/prefer to do everything in java. Problem is the performance. I don't care how fast your machine is, or what 1000-processor machine you ported it to. It still runs slow.
Seriously this is probably priority 100 on his list. ASP already has had such a long foothold on server side scripting that it'd take a lot to convince existing pages to change over to PHP.
It's a conspiracy you see. Slashdot folks are smart. They'll post the same article 10 ways to bring up more unnecessary microsoft bashing. You know if the word OSS, gui, apps, software comes up... M$ will be.... oh wait.
If they can figure out how to build an affordable robot that's smart enough and capable of cleaning any house effectively, it'll send the robotics industry to new heights. Until then, all these research are a sleeper.

Can Nike afford to hire security to stop shoe thief in China, yes.
Can Nike afford to have 20 pairs of shoes stolen a day in China, absolutely.
Can Nike afford to pay $1 US a day for an employee in China, yes
Can Nike afford to pay $100 US a day for employee in US, hell no.
Now replace the word shoe with computers. Capitalism is the same everywhere.

Hey everyone let's ALL use windows to share copies of some random movie. We'll bring Microsoft down with this bill.
Well, it took me 200hrs to get as much as all the weapons in Final Fantasy X for PS2. Isn't 80hrs like standard in any RPG nowadays.
But that's still better than 2000hrs of Enemy Territory and UT2004 and COD.
OMG that's still less than 20000hrs on slashdot.

SCO lawyers: The code was stolen from us

Daimler-Chrysler lawyers: Sir please look at exhibit A. It clearly shows...
SCO lawyers: Fsck you!
Daimler-Chrysler lawyers: Your honor the code is not...
SCO lawyers: STFU. You stole our code.
Daimler-Chrysler lawyers: Excuse me but...
SCO lawyers: I saw you steal it.
Daimler-Chrysler lawyers:
SCO lawyers: I have a video tape of it, but my dog ate it.
Daimler-Chrysler lawyers:
SCO lawyers: Show me the money. Show me the money!!!
Daimler-Chrysler lawyers:
SCO lawyers: (In LOTR voice) Your code is Mine!

I knew this sales guy who worked at Microsoft. Some of the tactics he used were ridiculously ballsy.
When M$ use the term ROI...
in MS land = Return On Investment
in linux land = Rapid Opensource Infection
When M$ use the term TCO...
in MS land = Total Cost of Ownership
in linux land = Trouble Causing Opensource
When M$ use the term IRS...
in MS land = Internal Revenue Service
in linux land = Internal Revenue Service
(They know to not mess with this one)
That's it. I am going to start a company that sells Real glass windows for houses.
I'll call it "Micosof windows". I'd be happy to give the name up for $20 mil.

Come on now we all know there is no SPAM applications on Mac. Just like there are not enough games, apps and mouse buttons.
So... if I buy enron equipment and find more damaging files on the computer, can I auction that back and make some $$$?
