the reason the unix-haters handbook is on microsoft's site is because the guy who co-edited the book also works for microsoft. this book was out well before he came to microsoft and he probably put up an online copy to stir up interest in selling more copies.
seriously,./ editors should get their shit straight before posting something like this. if they can't be professional about stating that this guy is an editor of the book, then they should just shut the fuck up so they don't look like totally incompetent asses to the rest of the world.
where will these jobs go?
as globalization becomes more present, i'm certain many other developing nations will be more economically viable choices when it comes to the employment pool.
don't know what they're missing when they play FF >= 7. The older games were some of the best RPG games created (along w/ the Dragon Warrior series and Phantasy Star on the Sega consoles). But then again, I'm sure any new FF fan has gone out and purchased the anthologies...
BTW, I always like the story lines to PStar series - it had more of a sci-fi plot than a medival one (ala Square).
If they kept w/ the production of DC sets and broadband adapters, they might have still had a viable advantage over all the systems, being that it would have still have been the only online console. However, they realized that making and selling the hardware was a money pit, and that the real profit is in just selling the software.
Hopefully, PSO will be ported onto PC. Otherwise, it's gonna suck paying $XXX.XX for another console addon.
Really, does anybody really need a faster processor? They really should concentrate on increasing the size and speed of the data bus, rather than increasing the speed of the processor.

blame VCs.
they were throwing gas onto the flames of an inflated economy.
keep doing that and you'll get burnt (as well as many other innocent/not-so-innocent bystanders (stockholders, retirees, etc)).

Square started neglecting their plot development with FF3US. Chrono Trigger was leaps and bounds better than FF3US.
I just got Skies of Arcadia, though, and I'm ready to waste another 40+ of my life in front of the CRT (already wasted 40 playing Grandia II).

Now, if you really wanted to get rid of that HD bottleneck, you could get a solid-state drive. I wish I had that kind of disposable income...
