I knew we should have dissabled super weapons when we started this game. Now that the allies can create lightning storms our infantry is screwed. The nukes aren't even that helpful, and we can never seem to get the Iron Curtain working.
This seems really, but would it be enjoyable to watch? A lot of art is just "hey, cool!" and then is put on a shelf. This really cool idea is only really cool because it's so original, it will never be cool again.
I am so not going back to that website after it attempted to install some comet cursor rubbish. Spyware, stay away.
I know what your problem is, you're using Windoze and Internet Exploder. See, I use a nice *nix based OS running a derivitave of the Mozilla Project. Sometimes it's nice to have the uincommon, you don't see hackers desperately trying to find all those Chimera holes.
There is a reason for this actually... if I remember my freshman bio class, in the human brain the nose is "connected" to a center that controls emotion. This is why we are unable to apply any cognitive function to what we smell. Think about the other senses, we have developed complex language to describe them (blue, shiny, transluscent, iridescent... sharp, soft, prickly, sticky, coarse etc, there are also formalized words to describe sounds but I wont go into detail), but with smell there are really only a few words people used to describe a smell, "good" and "bad" most of the time.
I think you're right. I can remember two smells. One being that of blood (don't ask) and another being of a perfume I particularly like. I remeber them by remembering the emotions that come to mind and the events that transpired when I did smell them.
Let's assmume for a second that all Slashdotters are American, willing, AND capable of getting out there and bitching. We would get maybe 600,000 people screeming about how MS sucks and how much they want their fair use rights. We would have about 300,000 people who are very savvy completely split down the middle on issues and 100,000 people who know absulutely nothing about politics. This is why Slashdot cannot organize.
I remember this time last year i was just kicking my everquest addiction. I realized that it just wasn't fuffilling at all. My social life was trashed, except with my friend who also played. I wasn't even enjoying the time I did spend playing it. When I canceled my subscription it felt as if I risen to a new level of councousness.
Now I have a lot more friends, have lost 40 pounds and am much happier than I was before.
I still play video games some, but not a lot.
Also, please note the difference between a mental addiction and a chemical addiction. A mental addiction is all force of habbit, like video games or marajawana. A chemical addiction, to nicotine or alchahol is much different and a lit harder to kick.
Try the X-Serve. Gigabit Ethernet, dual beefy G4's. 1U form factor. Pure genuine USDA approved Beef. Hey, when I first saw them I thought "Wow, Imagine a cluster of those!"
Even a very well done OS, like VMS, couldn't survive being tied to proprietary hardware.
What about Mac OS X? It is a very nice OS that is tied to some relatively proprietary hardware. Admittedly I can throw any hard drive or video card i want in my box, but I can run out and buy a new motherboard. Microsoft has enough market share that it could start making its proprietary hardware. Though, a lot of people will realise that they have no reason to stay with windows so they'll fo to linux. Or they'll realize that linux doesn't have a mature GUI and flood to the mac.

Maybe slashdot could offer mirroring of websites that need it before they link them. CNN and NYTimes might be able to handle the extra traffic but a geocities page will not.
uh, it's not about cheap power, it's about innovation and trying new things.
A few weeks ago boeing released a concept plane and a lot of people pointed out how useless it would be because it has no weapon systems. Just because the first generation of an idea isn't cost efficient doesn't mean that the idea wont be economically feasable in the future.
you can move it between machines I don't know about you, but when I can move an internal drive just as easily as an external drive. It's not that hard.
you can keep the drive around for a few more years without keeping a whole, obsolete computer.
Just move it to the new computer...
This is good because I beleive then that a lot more companies will come forward with hacking tales, more development will be done to plug holes, more people will be able to talk about hacking, more people will be aware of the dangers, more people will become educated about hacking and virueses and the like, and we will have fewer "I cant find the any key" tech support calls and fewer viruses propagating like mad.
First the right to bear arms, now the right to assemble.
Actually, almost any loser can buy a gun in the US. In Texas all you need for a concealed weapons permit is a driver's liscense. Really what you should be worrying about is free speach and fair use.
Also, your bike analogy doesn't really work, you can still use the bike, you just can't change your tires, fill your tires, modify you brakes or anything worthwhile.
Ah yes, but i was thinking far enough into the futire when this uninvented new attack is just as commonplace as the DDoS is now. I'm sure the DDoS was a truly godlike acompleshment in its day
Unfortunately the DDOS'ers will simply find a new way to flood a system. The best way to defend against this is to have a backup plan for when your servers get hosed.
The CDR will never replace vidoetapes for the same reason HDTV is only just starting to bloom and cassette tapes were EVER on the market.
People don't care about quality! If people cared about quality Microsoft would be out of business, Airlines would have decalred bankupcy years ago, and NO ONE would eat fast food.
Unfortuately people care about how little effort they have to excert to get something done. People don't want to deal with CD-R's because, despite an overall decrease in effort required, short term effects are minimal.
On a side note: CDRs would be a great alternative to video tapes. Tape media sucks

#2 is probably very important, as a software engineer, I have NO respect whatsoever for blizzards production code, some of it is just embarrasing.
I suppose you've gotten a good look at blizzard's code, then. If so, please optimize the mac version for Cocoa. If not, don't be a fucking idiot. Blizzard has sold millions of copies of Diablo II. When you have that many copies of your software out in the world some fucker (like you) is always going exploit a perfectly innocent bug in their code. Thus ruining it for people who casually play to enjoy some sensless hacking and slashing.

It's a religious cult because they have something that all religions have... A creation story that has no basis in science.
They are a cult because they either recruit people and brainwash them or because they are really pissing off the Christians
