AAC,WMA,Vorbis from everything i read use more CPU time to decode then a mp3 track. They also have smaller file size when it comes to the same quality. 128 AAC(or is it 160 i don't remember) itune track sounds a lot better than a 128 bit mp3.
Nintendo is in a different market than 360 and psx3. With sub $200 price point, i think most people will end just buying one but it won't replace HDTV eye candy that psx3 and 360 market.
It's definitely not fair. Some people spend hours upon hours, sometimes in-game days to tradeskill (made harder by the presence of Chinese farmers) and acquire in-game wealth. Others spend a minor amount of cash to instantly acquire this same wealth (and in a manner that enables and encourages further Chinese farming). At first I found this incredibly unfair
And then there's dickheads like me who make all their money from the AH by monopolising the supply of certain tradeskill items(golden pearls, fused wiring). Who needs to buy gold when i can raise the price of golden pearls to 30g a piece and fused wiring to 15g a piece. Gold makes gold.
ColdFusion, yup thats right. You can have your struts and scaffold, my website is power by cold fusion. Let me tell you it picks up the honeys when i say i work with cold fusion. Good luck picking up a lady telling them you work on struts, scaffold or java beans.
No it isn't, i bought 12 rackmount servers from dell last summer from their website without an os. It even came with a drivers cd which included windows,linux and bsd drivers for the server. BTW, they charge for redhat server if you want it installed, so why wouldn't they upsell them on that?
Because apple users are the biggest fan boys around. Apple can sue kids in college to shut them up, infect digital music world with their DRM which doesn't allow songs to be played on any linux or non apple portable players, and now they are using the DMCA. Its quite sad that a company can get away such evils and avg slashdotter sits back and says it fine, the are apple.
People think microsoft are evil, but i can't name one instance of microsoft using the DMCA. Now how many times has apple used dmca?
I must say, the original idea behind.NET and its interoperability was something of a good idea, but for the life me and all the development I have ever done, I can't think of many times I would use code from one project in another project save simple basic functions, as either project didn't have anything to do with the other.
Wow, you have to be one of the worse progammers out there. 75% of the infrastructure code for my projects is reused. From messages to searching. I need a reports in my new, i have reporting engine library, feed in the data, it pops out xml and which is xlst and sent to a prebuilt output(smpt,file,etc). Need to add search for data, pop in my search engine library which uses the lucene library, change some xml files and now my data has been full text indexed. Most of everything you need is already even coded for business applications you got CSLA for.net and Spring for java. There's you business framework, half work is already done.
Fish and game guys do that all time in california. They'll search coolers, backpacks etc but i don't think they have authority to search places not connected to the fishing/hunting event. I never seen them search a car, but will stop you walking back to your car. They are pretty bold about it too, and sometimes won't even ask while they ruffle through your stuff.
But wtf does this post have to do with opera and wtf is opera trying to get women to join the tech field, well besides the two nice rounded supple obvious reasons.
You bring up a good point. Here's the question, what if a certain transportation is the only way to get your destination? I know here in california, there are some places along the 101 highway that you can only get to by car. Now a drivers license is a priveledge and if its revoked, you in theory could argue that you freedom to travel has been removed. Could also argue this for planes, boats and etc. You can get into some very interesting discussions on this subject.
By monolopy, you mean i can go out and by machines non microsoft preinstalled machines like linspire or Macs My electric company is monolopy, i have no choice. I have choice on what OS i use, i can guarantee you majority slashdot users are not running windows as their main OS.
Calling Microsoft a monolopy on an OS is like calling apple an monolopy on portable music players. MS owns 90% of the OS department, ipods own 90% aswell.
You could try to transfer out the hard drive to a regular pc. You're not making copies so copyright law doesn't apply even though making personal copies is allowed under fair use. EULA is legal agreement and therefore only enforcable through civil court and injuctions. DMCA is the biggest problem.
Slower? Umm, no. Firefox is great for casual viewing, but when you doing research for a paper and have 10 to 20 tabs open. Its dog slow and uses 400 megs of ram which is insane. IE is faster than firefox, and opera is faster than IE and if you're on a mac, safari blows them all out of the water in sheer speed and memory usage.

Christmas is also important for a japanese launch since they celebrate a secular version of the holiday.

But they do release the source code to universites and their partners.

Thats means duken nuken forever is going to be the perfect game.
That if you have money, you can forego a lot of hard work while keeping a bunch of chinese employed.

You can't actually, macrovision will give you a distorted picture.

There's tons of addons for IE. Go here. Hell with addons, there's been tab browsing in IE since 97.

GPL and antiviral in the same sentence. Thanks for the laugh.
So was it wrong for microsoft to extend java?
