what is next? Are they going to release a study proving water is bad for us? The point is that this study's end result was decided well before it was finished.
. . . it was found that the longer people spent playing video games, the less activity they showed in the prefrontal region of their brains, which governs emotion and creativity.
As someone who enjoys making music I have to strongly disagree with this statement. As for emotion I still cry as hard as I ever did at the end of The Joy Luck Club. And for the sake of humanity I hope that no one is putting any real merit in this study. I can safely say that video games have increased my creativity, well that and the excessive use of drugs.
All these anime geeks who graduate high school and start planning to move to Japan so they get all the latest anime and gadgets sicken me.
Amen brother and another thing, just because they are having a cultural identity crisis doesn't mean they have to tell us every minute detail of the Japanesse culture
At my school in Ontario aswell (Catholic btw) on snow days we usually are alowed to play games, we once had 3 quake 2 games going. At the end of 1st term we had a huge Unreal Tournament game.
Uhhhh, because the source is open?
Or does "open source" mean something else that I don't know about?
It means someone legit is more likely to find the hole and release a patch before some script kiddie gets the 0-day 'spoilt for it. Opensource software has a better track record for admitting security holes, and releasing patchs before a problem arises.
I totally agree, apache are very easy to setup for windows ( especially NT/2K/XP ). What I don't understand is if you are going to be running apache why not go all the way and use linux/*BSD for your webserver or hell even a commercial UNIX variant. Remember when you are paying money for Solaris/AIX/HP-UX machines you (should) get tech-support. Evan the commercial versions of linux ( Redhat Pro., Suse Pro., etc ) have some sort of customer support.
GARNOME seems like a pretty sweet deal, should give people running less mainstream versions of linux or other *n*x's a chance to run Gnome. Has anyone tried this, i'm interested in the results, very interested.
Now If I just want to backup data on my hard-drive I have to pay pretty much double what im paying now for a CD-R. Maybe I should start taxing the record companies for making me listen to bad music on the radio!
Slashdot Mirror
yeah but if they still supported it would you have gotten that contract? Think about that.
answer your question?
Statistics can be thrown around to prove anything, 83.4% of all people know that.
you actually read the stories on slashdot
I just burnt a huge pile of windows XP cd's tonight

Next Microsoft will be sueing them (XPlay) for using XP in their name!

No they will probally kick in your door while your watching pr0n, take photographs, take you to room 101 and then beat confessions out of you!

Personally I'd like to see Bill Gates take over kernel devel.
Now I can ensure that my mad Java Kung-Fu will be recongized by the rest of the civilized world
