Actually, I have been incarcerated for a period of time, but I'm not going to get into that. I will say that the hardest part of the experience was re-integration. Did you know that your bills don't stop when you go to jail? Talk about a fucked up credit rating.
Kevin was not in a SuperMax facility, and he was not kept in solitary confinement. Sure, maximum security prisons are tough, but your point is totally lost since he wasn't actually in one.
That's kind of my point. Kevin didn't do anything useful or interesting. He seems to be a regular guy who fucked up and got famous for it. Five years in prison to get fame and perpetual job security? I'd do it in a heartbeat.
Let's face it, not all of us have the capacity to be useful or interesting.
Five years in a white collar prison, five years in a cube...I'm still getting by with an old iBook.
As far as the "quiet desperation" bit goes, I've been reading too much Thoreau. It's the saddest thing I've seen today that someone would attribute that to Katz.
Hey Kevin, isn't this really the best thing that ever happened to you?
Most geeks lead lives of quiet desperation. Woz hasn't given me a PowerBook. Slashdot hasn't interviewed me. I don't get to go on tech tv.
Really, if you hadn't been busted, where would you be? You'd be among us, commenting on some other guy's interview, one of the teeming useless irrelevant masses.
I'm sure that given that kind of time (or, really, just another few years), the *aa will have figured out a way to retain copyright in perpetuity throughout the universe.
I totally agree with you, there should be a high-end game market. I wasn't necessarily bashing Carmack, just pointing out that a lot of fun can be had on low end systems, too.

First, it's absurdly big. Either that's a really small hand in the picture, or it's huge.
Second, $585?!? Get outta here.
Isn't that what the "grace period" is all about?
Isn't it so you can rush out and buy licenses?

Or *Mac owners, since Apple hasn't included a floppy drive in any of their machines in quite some time.
3.5" floppies are anything but reliable. Consider yourself lucky if you've never had one go bad on you.

this?
The validator complains about using the *= combinator between selectors, but as far as I know, that's actually valid.
Similarly, the validator bitches about things like a:hover:visited, which is accepted in most browsers that support CSS.
The validator isn't all knowing, I guess.
I had this problem recently, and your solution sounds good to me.
The tingling sensation means it's working, right?
I for one am glad that you can look past such a great tragedy for the sake of being the first to preduct something.
Does anyone know?
and there aren't any idiots on slashdot, right?
But they edit movies for tv all the time.
Would you like to stop recieving these phone calls? Send $29.95 plus $10 shipping and handling to...
You're the 10,000th person to suggest that!
To claim your prize, set your head on fire and jump out a window!
But if we want to complain about it (and we obviously do), let us.
I'd like to be the thousandth person to point out that this is a dupe. Do you guys even read the comments before you post?
No, really. They acknowledge that Opera 6 sucks pretty bad, and promis that 7 will rock ass on OS X.
If anything, though, I'd think Chimera would be the one hurting Opera the most.
The fact that it costs money certainly doesn't help matters.
I'm sure that given that kind of time (or, really, just another few years), the *aa will have figured out a way to retain copyright in perpetuity throughout the universe.
that's swell and all, but some good stuff has been produced in the last 75 years.
Do you mean you comsume public domain media exclusively, or is it part of a balanced diet?
Me too! Like, that part where they were blowing all those guys up was totally awesome!
I think the special effects in this one are going to be even better.
so, uh, when do we start boycotting the mpaa?
after these two movies are out, right?
