second, the increasing vulnerability of our economic and technological systems to carefully aimed attacks. While commentators have devoted considerable ink and airtime to the first of these trends, they've paid far less attention to the second, and they've virtually ignored their combined effect
uhm, crackers and blackhats like Linus Torvalds, RMS and ESR have devoted countless man years to finding and exploiting said vulnerabilities. and heroic computer security professionals like Peiter Zatko aka Mudge and Mike Schiffman have worked hard to protect us from these scummy individuals and some even testified before out congress about these matters, so you cannot say that these attacks have gone unnoticed.
It's amazing how threathened these M$ guys are of Java.
yes, you are correct. we only take closed, proprietary software seriouly; hence, Java is a threat, but not Lorenzo Torrevaldez' Lunix or Ricardo Estalmano's YAK.
btw, i already post at -1, so subtracting more points won't help and adding me to your foes list is somewhat futile. why do you read slashdot at -1, anyway?
The success or failure of game systems depend on two factors:
1. The quality of the games that are available.
While open source/free software development is a noble concept, if the games aren't built, they will not come. Honestly, how many of us here who play games use Linux or Free BSD boxes *exclusively* for game machines? I play games on Windows boxes because the games are there. Until there are handheld games the quality of those produced for GameBoy, the GP32 will never sell well. If I want to play "snake", I can do that on my cell phone.
2. Inertia.
If I've invested in a hardware platform for games that I'm satisfied with, I'm going to continue to use that platform, and buy more games for it. The GP32, or any future handheld game system, will have to offer qualities or features that aren't on my current platform.
Closed-source games are bad. I am an ardent RMS follower; hence, I play Freeciv and Nethack. Granted, they may suck, but at least I can rest assured knowing that I helped make the world a better place and protected our American freedoms.
the slashdot editor have a long track record of disregarding their users wishes. CmdrTaco thinks its his site, and he can do whatever he wants with it, so please don't bother him with your queer little requests.
If they could release a JVM for the device, imagine how large the development community would be. Possibilities...... -GameNutz
Huh? wtf uses java anyway? also, what moron would use that language for games development?
oh, and please do not ever refer to a "developer communiy" (or slashbot community). communities assume people with social skills, which programmers frequently appear to lack.
I would like to dedicate this xth post to Natas and his servant Bdolf, aka eDolf, who shall the pedantic Slashot community, including all the unfunny trolls and crapflooders, and his opponent Skippy the Kangaroo.
I would be interested to see some comprehensive real-world benchmarks comparing the two platforms. Really, I'm rather tired of the "Megahertz-myth" PPC touters and the "RISC sucks" x86 campions arguing which is better without any solid numbers.
You could have done that a long time ago with NetBSD, probably the most portable OS in the world.
It amazes me that so many allegedly "educated" people have allowed themselves to be so swiftly deluded by a fraudulent fabrication of such ridiculous proportions. The very idea that not one, but two jumbo jets would crash themselves into a famous New York skyscraper -- in broad daylight with vigilant air-traffic controllers and tight airport security watching every move of every craft in the air -- is laughable. Furthermore, it is a horrendous affront to the world-renowned intellect and common sense of the American people. The fact that anyone could actually believe this is evidence that the Liberals -- after decades of waging war against intellectual integrity and honesty -- have finally ripped the few remaining, tenuous strands of control of our educational system from full-blooded, hard-working, God-fearing Americans.
As such wonderful documentaries as The Siege have so articulately exposed, the Liberal masterminds in Berkeley and their toadies throughout the nation have been silently waging war against the American people and their God-given rights to protect themselves, their worship, their family values, and their hard work. Much of this has been conducted under the guise of preventing "terrorism", a meaningless word engineered by radical left-wingers specifically to bring fear into the heart of honest Americans. Think about it -- can you remember any reference to so-called "terrorism" that occurred before Liberals invaded our government offices in the last decade? Of course you can't, because despite whatever the revisionist histories may tell you, there is no mention of any "terrorism" in classic literature before 1980. Only then did the neo-Marxists invent such absurd figures as Timothy McVeigh and Osama Bin Laden in order to legitimize their anti-freedom agenda, drowning the spirit of the American people in a blatantly-engineered machine of fear and mourning for "victims" of these "terrorist attacks".
In fact, it should be incredibly obvious that the concept of a 110-story building even being built, much less two, is a clear and obvious fraud. No documentation of these "twin towers" existed before a "terrorist attack" occured on the previously-nonexistent pair of skyscrapers on September the 11th. Due to this hoax being perpetrated by the Liberal-controlled media, suddenly people all over the world mourned the loss of thousands of people who had not existed before. Innocent men and women, brainwashed by the left-wing education institutions, gave firsthand accounts of losing relatives they never had until the "attack" happened.
But the most outrageous aspect of this hoax is the "Pentagon" -- a government office fabricated especially for this purpose. Liberal media claims this imaginary building to be "the center of America's defense system", although obviously an organization as proud and God-fearing as the United States Military would never think to station themselves in a building of five sides, so obviously close to the pentagram, mark of Lucifer himself. It is insulting to the nation's intelligence that eight hundred members of the world's proudest institution would be made to meet their Lord by something as graceful, efficient, and secure as our country's fine aviation system.
Don't let the devious tricks of the Liberals allow you, a citizen of the greatest nation this Earth has ever or will ever know, to surrender your freedoms. Any lesser nation would have succumbed to their wills long ago, and indeed the socialist states in Europe already have. It is only the superior resilience, pride, and intellect of America that has allowed it to withstand the constant threat of Liberal control.
I neither agree nor disagree with this post. I am absolutely neutral wrt its content.

likewise, you use Slashdot's posting system to eventually destroy this site and its owner VA Software with your rampant racism.

I know you're out there since you just added me to your foes list. It's good to see at least some people try to keep Slashbork clean!

Your president is only trying to be representative of you.
In konqueror, I just changed my User-Agent to MSIE and it worked fine.
You mean to say you violated MS' holy trademarks? HOW DARE YOU!
that was meant to say, shall smite.

Oooooh, I forgot. IT'S NOT LINUX!
Your lies make baby natas cry. :-(
Lorenzo Torrevaldez sucks ass, and so does Ricardo Estalmano.
i am an accomplished zoophile. please do not ever suggest that sex with gnus, other bovines or animals in general is a bad thing.
nuff said.
your post seems to have a slightly sexual undertone. did you intend it to be that way?

But what does ANAL COX think about it? Do you really want THIS MAN [rodos.net] touching your kernel? How about your children??
the only thing i would let him touch is RMS' withered cock.
