Retailers are selling games like RTCW, Doom III (when it's out), UT(2003) and a lot of other games that show a lot of violence and the Army is giving away a "how to kill"-manual game. But when it comes to nudity ppl get scared.
This is so stupid.
Anyway, I'll get the game UNCENSORED..... but nothing beats a good Manual or 180..... in REAL life.
Peace,

5) Murphy's Law: interesting sites always require the latest flash plugin, which unfortunately is not yet available for your platform.
Which platform do you use, exactly? I've yet to encounter a site I can't browse with Linux, Windows or even my Mac. I'm pretty sure I used to do just fine with a Solaris box too...
Well, on BeOS I have some flash-problems. Opera and mozilla are displaying most flash-pages fine, but there are some that can't be displayed.
BeOS is a dead OS? Ehmm...well there are too many "lifesign" (read: entries in my webserver-log), so it can't be dead
6) Murphy's 2nd Law: if you have the required plugin version it will crash your browser.
I've never seen flash crash my browser. It seems pretty stable on the 24hr a day information kiosks and set-top boxes I've used it on too.
I've seen flash crashing broswers on ANY system. Flash-only sites are a much bigger sin than <blink>-Tag.
In most cases flash is as useless as JavaScript. The server should be responsible to return "AnyBrowser"-code. It's a shame if a webmaster makes the user responsible for viewing content correctly.
Imagine you want to buy a car. You go to the dealer and let him know that you want to buy the black Porsche 911. The dealer takes out a measuring tool to get your size and then saying:" Nope, you're 5 cm to small. The seats are fixed and can't get the care unless you buy some "increase your size" shoes.
And for Java. It's not only because I'm a JavaProgrammer (k, makes me a little bit prejudged), but Java is the best technology for secure data transfer via the inet, i. e. for online banking. It's hard to crash a computer with java and Java is available for more plattforms than Flash, even on BeOS I have Java.

Why are more and more ppl wanting Linux to be M$-ish?
I can live with "Linux replacing WIndows" as I don't like windoze:)
If Linux is to replace nearly everything, we're going from one monoculture to another. So we will have again stuff like nimda and so on.
IMO Linux has to enter the Desktop-market maybe it has not to replace M$ in the next 5 years, but it should be a 100% alternative.
Users should be able to choose the OS of their choice.

What's the prob of an XBox emulator? K, anyone who do something like that has my huge respect, but isn't the Xbox x86 hardware and a Windoze-like OS? So emulating is not as hard as emualting MIPS or so....isn't it?

Uhm.... why do they say "chips from Intel, Corp."?
What about Athlon/XP/MP or Hammer?
K, Solaris 7 ran bad on my Athlon 500, but at least it ran there
