Fluffer?

No Doom 3 This Year?

Given enough time and incentive, I can turn Doom 3 into a Microsoft Windows compatible operating system. The question is how much incentive and how much time it will require.
Well, for starters...
I'm sure Clippy will be a helluva lot more polite, when you're pointing a Rail gun at his paperclip arse.
You can still choose to install the Office Assistants, but you've always been able to choose not to install them. I've never had to deal with Clippy, from Office 97 through Office XP. Of course, most people prefer to just bitch and moan rather than do something about the problem, so it's not surprising that people are still complaining about Office Assistants.
Most people working in an office environment DO NOT install their own software.
Nor, initially, do they understand how to change configurations.
Some of the worst estimated cost blow-outs that I've seen in government projects, have come from the government managers hiring consultants to develop their requirements.
Quite often those consultants can charge almost as much as the entire development team charge for the project.
Provided that you are able to order printed versions of the online works directly from the websites, I'd say there is great scope to cut some of the middlemen out of the current equation. Business savvy illustrators and colourists can get more of the money.
I actually started doing an online comic with a group of friends (for fun, not profit) about 5 years ago. It takes a lot of work, consequentially people lost interest after a couple of issues.
Apple did spec the price/performance: the dual 2.0GHz G5 PowerMac they tested cost $3,000, and the dual 3.06Ghz Xeon Dell Precision they tested cost $4,000. Since the G5 is both significantly faster and drastically cheaper, it should be obvious that it has a better price/performance ratio.
Yeah, but you can roll your own dual 3.06GHz Xeon for WAY less than $4,000 (or $3000 for that matter).
2xCPUs would cost around $1400
Motherboard $300
I need a sticker for my PC case that says "My OTHER computer is the Earth Simulator".
Once I've got that I'll be beating the girls off with a stick.
As apposed to my current "beating off" activities.

It's accomplished by a staff of 2.5 people...

Will they try to prosecute me, if I capture the adverts and put them up on Kazaa?
Then why don't switch to Visual Source Safe?
Hell, I'D give them my companies copies for FREE.
Is this how that big ball in Raiders of the Lost Ark worked?
Isn't nationalism illegal in Germany?
Or is that "National Socialism" that they band?
Whats so fun about real life?
I dont know about you, but real life is repetitive and boring most of the time.
Then YOU need The Machiavellian's Guide to Womanizing

Better check your SQL before going into voter fraud.
Perfectly valid Microsoft Access SQL.
Surely the new system will be run on Access?
I'd settle for him NOT making King of the Hill.
Oh, come now, poor people should be allowed to have their own version of the simpsons.

So your argument is moot.
Look at the photo, and read the caption. I bet that guy called "Elizabeth Robertson" hates his parents.

...and let that be a lesson to you.
Make sure the seals on the building you use for bio-weapon testing are solid.
Who stole my tinfoil hat?
Clippy to the rescue
...maybe that should have been "Getting ENDED with Microsoft Suicide 2003"
...and the cyanide capsule comes with a CD entitled "Getting Started with Microsoft Suicide 2003".
5 of the top 10 stories on /. are Microsoft stories.
Where do you want to viral market today?

A fairly apt metaphor.
"bloated, buggy, and too expensive"
just like most western governments.
What a great idea! Imagine, indie bands having to pay $4 per blank CD for the privilege of
recording their own original music without a label.
Sounds like a GREAT PLAN to me.
Hopefully it will kill off the next ABBA, before they even start.
You know the first rule.
Now you die.
Maybe, if you DITCH the idea of an OS process, and control the hardware directly, you'd have a fucken clue.
I have written software to control industrial machinery that ran under MSDOS.
I KNOW of which I speak.
