Many professional sports played today originally started as playground sports. Some that are really old have their origins forgotten, most however have changed significantly over the last century. Others, such as racing, always required money (thus excluding younger players).
Pro gaming is big in some countries (Korea), its more a matter of public acceptance. As the public acceptance grows, so will the money, and with it the pro player who makes gaming his career.
Obviously we're still in a growing phase with games. But its not inconceivable that within the next century hardware and software would have progressed to the point where changes are few and far between, and the stability required to make a career out of 1 particular game will be there.
Exactly. Although I guess it complicates things for Dvorak, I mean, he'd have to actually read it.
He doesn't seem to have a clue. For examnple, from the article: "as far as I can tell, does absolutely nothing but threaten the already tenuous "fair use" provisos of existing copyright law." and " It's called fair use. I can still do that, but Creative Commons seems to hint that with its license means that I cannot."
from the creative commons licence: "2. Fair Use Rights. Nothing in this license is intended to reduce, limit, or restrict any rights arising from fair use, first sale or other limitations on the exclusive rights of the copyright owner under copyright law or other applicable laws."
Damn Dvorak, click the CC icon, it takes you to the human readable summary, click the legal code link and read. Its not hard. Really.
If you have an old machine that didn't support usb devices booting the machine then I'd assume you have a floppy drive installed. Unless of course you can find a new motherboard that doesn't support that by default?
Its been two years, and every time I've had a situation where floppy drives could have solved the problem, either a thumb drive, or a rewritable cd (or even standard, since they are dirt cheap) did the job anyway.
And as for booting up floppies quickly. My problem with the previous machine that did have a floppy drive, was I could never find any disks that worked.
Okay so oversimplified maybe, but obviously many banks and other phishing targets are not putting as much pressure (AKA "donations") on the government as big brand game companies.
Take away their oil money and the sword is exactly what they'll have to use.
Okay, I exaggerate. But terrorism isn't new, highly funded INTERNATIONAL terrorism has only become widespread because of oil money. That and weapons the US and allies have given them in previous meddlings.
The meddling started because of the oil. The hatred started because of the meddling. The meddling and the oil provided all the equipment the terrorists needed.
Also, while fundamentalism may never go, keeping the hell away from them and not meddling will, over time, reduce the number of recruits these groups get. The less recruits, the harder it will be to maintain a network.
Lets see, (1937) massing armies controlled by their respective goverments VS (2005) independent groups of terrorists not bound to any one country; fueled, not by nationalistic ambition, but pure blind hatred.
Actually, advance science, stop our reliance on crude oil, and then just leave them the fuck alone.
Either that or complete all out war where we level their countries to the ground and exterminate their people (note to those about to mod as troll, this is not something I support).
The problem is western governments meddle in middle eastern affairs because they need the region to be "compliant". They don't want to get too involved, but at the same time they've spent several decades meddling (usually with disasterous side effects) and thus building up the hatred.
Of course the amount of hatred that has built up will probably take just as many decades to go way.
The bus had its entire roof blown off, only the front half of the top floor seats seemed intact, so I'd be surprised if it wasn't more just in the bus.
When I started developing in php and mysql I went out and bought "Open Source Web Development with LAMP". It was recommended, and apparently was very helpful. After an hour, put it on the bookshelf and went to php.net, and haven't looked back since. Anything that is in these books I can usually figure out myself with the help files, and anything I cannot figure out myself usually isn't in the book (though there is always a web site somewhere with example code that does exactly what I want).
1. Thats business that anti-trust laws were made to stop.
2. Err, since when does a bunch of slashdotters saying the DMCA is bad mean that Intel can do what they want?
Not that it matters, the point is you don't have to be a monopoly to be breaking anti-trust laws. Just powerful.
And you don't need to be an expert in anti-trust laws to see that taking Intel to court isn't a blatent bad idea. Maybe the courts will find that intel didn't actually cross the line, or maybe they will find them guilty. Either way its not just the fanboys supporting this.
How about if his competitor has 80% of the market and threatens major supliers if they use the competitors products?
Intel apply things like retroactive incentives (ie we'll give you money back later if you have been good). From one article where they nailed HP: "When AMD succeeded in getting on the HP retail roadmap for mobile computers, and its products sold well, Intel responded by withholding HP's fourth quarter 2004 rebate check and refusing to waive HP's failure to achieve its targeted rebate goal; it allowed HP to make up the shortfall in succeeding quarters by promising Intel at least 90% of HP's mainstream retail business."
Also, the Clayton Antitrust Act includes "sales on the condition that the buyer not deal with the seller's competitors. (Section 3)". AMD can quite easily claim that Intel is enforcing vendor lock-in, another major part of anti-trust law.
Slashdot Mirror
Now lets compare that number to these. Miami at 60%, New York at 36%, London at 28%, to name a few.
In this day and age for a major city to be down there at 2.84%, qualifies it as 'ethnically isolationist'.
But hey, claiming that Japan is isolationist MUST BE RACIST!
Beyond 2000 did a program on that. Though if memory serves me correctly it was a more conventional method of mirrors and such, also without LED's.

And while I'm on this. He doesn't even seem to understand normal copyright.
Again, from the article:
"Now you just use the word "copyright," add your name and a date, and publish it."
But since 1989 in the U.S., the use of copyright notices has become optional. Any country that is a party to the Berne Convention observe this.
Exactly. Although I guess it complicates things for Dvorak, I mean, he'd have to actually read it.

Yes, and right now its just the name of the hardware.
I bet whichever format gets more of the "cool stuff" to begin with will more than likely be the format that wins, regardless of the actual technology.
"Now having said that, the MCP that this article refers to is a big joke."
Microsoft Certified Application Developer is what she got according to TFA.
While its no MCSD (which she does plan on doing) or MCSE , there was plenty of C# dev in it.
Interesting. I actually build all my PC's, yet I still say I bought them, since I have payed for all the individual parts.
If you have an old machine that didn't support usb devices booting the machine then I'd assume you have a floppy drive installed. Unless of course you can find a new motherboard that doesn't support that by default?
LOL

So what do you do with floppy drives that you cannot do with a thumb drive?
Why not use a thumb drive?
Back in the middle of 2003 I bought myself a new machine and decided to forget the floppy drive. I haven't regretted the decision once.

Phishing hurts individuals.
Warez hurts corporations.

1.33.3 is what I prefer as well. Most webhosts I've seen that like their stability, security and uptime are using that too. :)
2.1.6 has been released to fix this. This was responded to quickly, so now its just up to the web masters to update their servers.

I think the official count is at 3 train bombs and the 1 bus.
My company is streaming Sky News on our LAN, and they seem to be changing the numbers regularly.
Hell the php .chm is wonderful as well.
