Just because a game doesn't require a 1GHz+ cpu doesn't mean it's old or low tech. Maybe they just know how to give you more bang per cycle than the latest greatest blockbuster developers do.
"Huzzah! Hooray! Let's put a teacher in space everyday!"
Hey, if it gets NASA the PR karma they need, I'm all for it. People tend to lose interest when astronauts are just studying the effects of lemon pledge on slime mold in zero gravity, you know.
"We were supposed to be having vacations on the moon by 2003. Instead we get this. Feh."
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Sci-Fi writer Ray Bradbury was found dead this morning at his [ I don't know where Ray Bradbury lives ] residence. There weren't any further details. I'm sure he will be missed by the slashdot community - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his impact on popular culture. Truly a Martian icon.
I'm a couch potato, lying on the couch right now with my laptop on my belly. Sure, it's a little difficult to type, but it's easy enough to mouse around the web.
If 95+% of all PCs are running Windows, it's pretty safe to say "PC" when you mean "Windows PC".
Don't forget that if you're a Linux (or whatever) user, you're in the vast minority, and you really can't expect the mass media to pay you any mind. For the media's purposes (and 95% of computer users' purposes), PC == Windows PC.
You should know that your use of the word "farked" and your reference to the inane "kitten killing" meme reveal that you are a moron of the lowest grade. It's especially bad since you're not on fark, and we have our own verb for that here.
Please go back to fark.com, where you can post your mindless drivel with impunity. Here there be bastards.
Some OS X executables are actually packages that contain everything the app needs to run. This results in a larger "executable" size because it doesn't stash components in a system folder. They don't have an installer to spray files all over the place.

Carmack, I'm looking in your direction...
It was fun for a few days, but that game was waaaay too easy to beat.
After you've beaten the Red Dragon and been reset five or six times, it really loses it's charm.
I'm not entirely sure about the 50 years thing. Could be.
Even if that's the case, Elvis didn't start recording until 1954, so his earlist works are still copyrighted.
This is a joke.
That line originally started in The Treasure of Sierra Madre.
It has since been featured in numerous films, including UHF, Three Amigos!, and Blazing Saddles.

Well, there was that whole "seven people blowing up and completely horrifying a generation" thing. The "cold war being over" thing didn't help, either.
me too.
small world, eh?

I'm not the original poster, but farking?
Better not let teacher catch you reading slashdot, son.
At least from South Africa's perspective it is.
You don't have to be Kreskin to see that.
They don't need "real user experience" because they know it's a bad idea from the start.
you're complaining about a five day old one point moderation?
seriously

Who gives a toss about GIF anymore?
If you've got a bunch of old GIFs sitting around that are worrying you, imagemagick to the rescue.
that looks like a pretty crummy breakfast to me. A muffin and two glasses of OJ? What kind of lazy bastard serves that for breakfast?

They dragged me into their van and drove me all the way to Los Angeles.
It was a strange weekend.
That you've resorted to trolling a geek news web site?

Do you honestly think anyone in the music industry is concerned about quality more than they're concerned about profit?
Britney sells albums like fucking crazy.

You read too much slashdot!
That would just ruin my day!
Mozilla 1.2b is 38 megs on OS X. Sorry if that pisses you off, but it's a fact.
Some OS X executables are actually packages that contain everything the app needs to run. This results in a larger "executable" size because it doesn't stash components in a system folder. They don't have an installer to spray files all over the place.
It took you six months to explain what google is?
I don't know if the problem is with you or your users, but there's definitely something wrong with that.
