I wonder why they used such a unixism (/dev/null) if this really is a response to the anti unix ads. It doesn't seem like one at all to me. Seems more like a "Unix is here to stay, so pick ours" ad. I guess as such a pro unix ad it can be seen as a response.
No, I'd have to say that by his logic, if Blizzard was concerned about this whole CD key issue, they would've put a simple check into their client code that would not let them play with other clients that are using the same CD key. Granted, this, like anything else, can and will be hacked around, but then we wouldn't be as upset about Blizzard shutting down a group of people that simply reverse engineered their matchmaking service. It has nothing to do with playing games at all...it's all matchmaking. The game itself doesn't care if it plays with other clients using the same key.
Combine that with the fact that I don't remember any AOL CD's with anything other than a.0 (was there ever a.1?) pretty much guarantees that we would get RH 8.0.
Yeah, what was the name of that Val Kilmer movie that was about this very topic? Psychology class...right. All knowledge comes from movies.:)

Well, I don't have an exact number on the amount of data that can be stored on the little dvds, but it is still quite substantial for a game. Somewhere around 1.5 Gigs should be plenty for a majority of games out there for the near future. The only thing that takes up tons of space is FMV, and if you want a game with tons of that, put it on a couple little dvds. They can't cost that much.
Besides, by doing this, Nintendo is essentially free from piracy.
That post was every bit as close minded as you people think fundamentalist, bible-believing christians are. I mean seriously, what kind of logic are you using here? You're comparing humans to computer programs? That's silly.

Too bad that "oh, you might not be doing something legal" is almost a perfect legalspeak translation of that oh so "threatening" letter.

Come on. The comment was a joke.
Here...I'll explain it for you though. Every Windows owner has probably seen the BSoD. Windows is made by a little company called Microsoft. Microsoft has also started selling home game consoles. Therefore, it would be a good joke to relate the BSoD from Windows to this new console. That might be funny, huh? Don't just rant about this joke being MS-bashing. Laugh a little.

Actually Goldeneye (N64) was easily the first console FPS that didn't suck.
Just do a quick google search to find out more info on this story...
Spoken by someone who is not an avid game player, obviously.

Is this the start of the manly "Mine is bigger than yours" battle?
It would also require:
Antigravity technology
Replicators
Warp speed (or hyperspace, I don't care which)
and especially, Captain Kirk
And according to Unreal Tournament, the speed of light is about 50 miles per hour.
Oh well, I don't understand it either. It's only a silly ./ post...

The guys at work were all ready to hear the commercials for Redhat 7.3, the "Best Redhat Ever!"
So now MS can use some of the GL tech on improving Direct3D!
No, wait, that's crazy talk.
