  1. Re:Just because he went to Google on Google and Microsoft Lob More Lawsuits · · Score: 1
    So he found a job to suit his desires elsewhere. Does anyone think Microsoft would be making this big a deal if it wasn't Google that hired him?

    Nope. Microsoft is just sending a message to its employees.

    They probably could give a hoot about this one guy.

    They saw the damage they did to Borland when they took most of Borland's top people.

    Microsoft will scare their employees now in an attempt prevent themselves becoming a victim of their own tactics.

  2. OS X Is brilliant on Mac OS X Gaining Ground In Corporate Environs · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Can I just say as a developer/admin/user/artist of many years that OS X is the most brilliant OS I've used.

    I hate to blow smoke up Steve Jobs arse, but even with all the little quirks you get "everything" in the os you could want. Unix, Graphics, usability.

    Being able to run this OS on the most abundant and popular hardware* in the next year or so is going to really be awesome for OS X.

    If I was a musician also I'd probably never leave the house.

    My point is from top to bottom it has it all.

    If you use nothing but windows or linux you really should get your hands on a used Mac or something and see what it is like when you own it.

    I feel like a marketing dork, but ever since Amiga went the way of the dodo I've been wanting something to replace it.

    OS X blows the doors off what Amiga wanted to be.

    --------------- *Yes you will somehow be able to run OS X on your AMD/Intel PC. So stop blathering on about it.

    i mean really. if a kid can download and apply a patch, he is already in a position to see way more nudity than what is offered in this game.

    Children aren't bothered by nudity. Only the adults are.

  4. Re:Dangerously good game! on Review: Battlefield 2 · · Score: 0
    The only thing I disagree with is that people are reluctant to use voicechat with strangers.

    The reality is I don't want to yell at someone through a McDonalds' headset for shitty helicopter piloting at 11:30pm and wake my wife and baby sleeping down the hall.

  6. Re:ban them blizzard on World of Warcraft Duping Bug Found · · Score: 0

    All it will take is for Blizzard to parse their logs to look for this. I'm hoping to see some accounts banned.

    Why ban them? They should put a permanent turd icon over the head of these players that only everybody else can see.

    That would be justice and fucking hilarious to boot.

    Just rented Appleseed (2004) and I can say that it rocked! Good action and great graphics!

    More like these would do well I think.

    It seems all Anime has some crazy-voodoo-magically-mystical-psychic-makes-no-s ense-brain-f*ck to explain the whole plot to every story which can get kinda annoying.

    Think Matrix 2 and 3.

    I don't mean this as a flame, but I just can't understand why The Matrix is so influential, but I not am not a huge fan of the graphic novel, so I guess I'm not the target audience.

  19. Re:The real question is... on Apple Moves to All Dual-Processor Power Mac Lineup · · Score: 1
    Is Apple going by selling ANY PowerMac computers? Seriously, who is going to buy into a platform that will be obsolete in 9 months?

    They have been building OS X internally on PowerPC and Intel for a lone time.

    Tiger is not the last OS X you'll get for you PowerPC based Mac. It will be relevant for years to come.

    A large install base exists.

    They will drop OS X for PowerPC someday, but not in 9 months.
