on of the cool things about having being in a country persueing military operations (war on terrorism) and having a rocky market - is all the cool gadgets we get out of it - just think of all the cool stuff that was invented during ww1 and ww2 (good and bad there was still alot of neet stuff)
and one more thing to all the haters who will reply
its the games that make a console - not the console that makes the games - just look at the DREAMCAST
the only games worth playing (yeah this is going to piss some off but im being steriotypical)
n64 = zelda
xbox = halo
ps2 = ff series (for the fans), virtual fighter or tekken (whichever style you prefer), METAL GEAR SOLID, and GTA3
in my opinion these are the only games worth paying $50 or more for some may disagree but if you made a console poll and one by one listed 5 games for each console im willing to bet that these games would be on the top of the list. therefore - eat shit and die all you non-ps2 users (i had to flame there - sorry)
its not like you need more than a handfull (25) of good coders to keep redhat updated - not to mention its not like there making an office product although if they did could it ever become the basis for having them be like the M$ of linux?
especially africa where most people refuse to use condoms even though there hiv/aids problem is HUGE (not to mention the baby rape cases that happen way to often) - there educated they just choose to live ignorantly.
a little far fetched but whats to stop me (lets say im a medical student or doctor) from killing someone (who looks similar to me) and cutting there chip out putting it into me - then even though i look different who's to say im not that person....
as long as its optional i dont care, but the minute it because similar to gattica - as in i can only get a decent job if i have an implant because there to lazy to do a background check on me or whatever then this is problem
not to nock linux, but in a corporate environment (like the one i work in - most people dont know enough)
for example: every computer is a windows or mac box and most of the coworkers have only heard of some "thing" called linux in the news - so with the little knowledge they have of what or where this "thing" linux can be found they associate it as some "high end server stuff" or "that geek programming stuff that no one uses"
my opinion is very different from this - but im just pointing out that in most corporate places (even in tech companies like fujitsu) the people who make the decisions are stupid and the people who get asked to write reviews on hardware and in that same boat
unless you guys are also going to start "opting in" all our email addresses to a spam list also this is either a funny april fools or a cry for another website to take over
looking through pages of "faq" and "help" and "html" sites like we did back in the day - we use the tricks of the trade to do what we will
so in other words when the "net" came out most of us had to look at other peoples sites to see what or how or what nifty things one could do in html, cgi, etc... - but now we know what we need to do what we do.
i can see your frustration since you havnt read the book(s) - keep in mind the order and number of books there are - and you can see by my chart below that the movie is number 3 in the list of books had you read the first two (or if they had done movies on these first) you would not have been confuused - the movie was made for fans of the book - not people who have not read it.if you read the books in this order:
1) the silmarilian
2) the hobbit
3) the fellowship of the rings
4) the two towers
5) the return of the king
6) any of the unfinished short stories
also i know on the west coast (california) it may not be required reading, but when i went to school in connecticut we had to read the series as required reading so i dont know how you can say its not a popular book(s)
mac drive is the same thing as mac opener - or the billion other mac apps that allow your pc to see mac formatted media (cds, hd, ipods) why are people "amazed" you can do this - its not like someone did some crazy programming to get this to work - hell i bet if you plug in the ipod to a pc (via firewire) and use mac opener so your pc can see it you can reformat the ipod to a ntfs partition (of course the ipod is almost useless as anything other than a hardrive after than) does this make me a l33t h4x05? NO
now that is the best idea ive heard - i totally agree - i for one would find it a fun element if i could go kill a PKer and not only get his stuff but get stuff from the game for doing it.
i agree - i think instead of putting all this effort into "tattle tailing" or "wining" about windows - imagine if that same effort was put into developing others products as popular as any m$ has.
Imagine if IBM had continued to develop and support OS/2 - it could have gone somewhere
my 2 cents would be to tell the kid to stop coding for apple since they obviously dont want him and put his skills into linux a "truly" open source environment - if he's really as bad ass as he says he is, then he could do a lot of good for any of the distro's out and about.
WARNING: any product not purchased through a physical location and highly overpriced is and should be considered "contaminous-opensource-unstable-hacked-cracked-il legal-nazistic" and god will kill a kitten if you use it.:)
now if only the makers of real doll could work with sony and there techies and get me a sexbot - i mean a work bot that could do "stuff" for me without me having to do all the work:)
i think sony was letting them play on the console not just showing it or having sony employees play on it - technically its in the rules you cant do that but since messe has been letting that go on with any of the developers they shouldhave just changed the rules and allowed it - so ms wins on a technicality but both m$ and messe should think twice before pissing off sony.

win xp - opera linux - opera mac - opera no matter the os you can surf ad free....
unless you guys are also going to start "opting in" all our email addresses to a spam list also this is either a funny april fools or a cry for another website to take over
say oracle claimed to be ....
honestly no matter how or what you use to encrypt things given a long enough time span someone WILL break it
much like on a long enough timeline the average survival rate WILL equal zero

its either becuase there outside the US or becuase there stupid - probably a little of both.
