I beg to differ. The game I play the most is Galaga.
Did you state that The Sims is a fun and appealing game? What exactly is fun about it (other than the millions it has made the developers since its release)?
Also, last time I checked, Doom 3 hasn't been released (offically). Getting ~7 fps on a leeked game (that was built to be a noninterative demo) makes a fun and appealing game?
This is what is wrong with todays gamers. They buy into what they are told is a good game. Oh, John Carmack is working on Doom 3, so it must be a great game because a lot of my friends played other games in the Doom and Quake series. Media tells me that The Sims is a good game, so in order to hold up a conversation about games, I must mention it being a good game. Speaking of The Sims, what makes this a good game? The fact that it is life? Go to work, come home and read books that will help you the next day for work, make dinner, clean, buy a painting you don't need but you think it will make you happier, go to bed. Then wake up and its all the same. Is this game teaching anything? While playing it (for the brief amount of time that I did), I noticed that you can miss every other day of work without any issues. Ok, I want to get a job at EA because that must be their policy.
No, I was just stating that if I type in a format that is hard for people to read, maybe I will get modded up. I wasn't saying that he was speaking in l33t.
1) "X" company deciedes to use "Y" program written by "Z". 2) "X" requires a change be made to "Y", but alas, "Z" wanted to stop working on the project. 3) "X" hires an employee "W" to add features to their existing system. 4) "X" pays "W" to become aquainted with the program, their system, their needs, the code, etc. 5) "X" ends up paying more money then going with the "V" commercial application.
I guess I'll have to download an RPM of both BASH and CSH the next time I install Redhat on a machine. Either that or I should just switch to Debian the next time I install.:-)
"The installation CD also comes with MusicMatch, a digital music software package that helps the user organize and rip digital audio files from music CDs."
Why does it come with Musicmatch? I wonder what Microsoft will bundle when they release a product to compete with this one (as they always do).
I agree with you on this. I doubt that any consumer will see that money.
But truthfully, if a consumer purchases the system, they agreed to the price. I know I have paid a lot more than I wanted on video cards, game consoles, etc, but my regret stopped the minute my bank card went through the scanner. I acknowledged that I was spending X amount of money and left it at that.

But I kind of liked red. It wasn't my favorite color, but it was one of the better ones. :-(
I wish it hadn't died.

How did anybody understand what he said to mod him up? Maybe I should start posting in l33t to get better moderation on my posts.
You should see it on my Powerbook. I have the base requirements, and it runs like Windows XP on a Pentium Pro 180.
I can just see a raise in taxes because /. linked to a government site. ;-)
So they knew prior to 9/11 that something was going to happen, but waited until 9/12 to report it. Damn, this country is responsive.
While "X" was using "V", its developer "U" could have released new versions of "V" that included features that "X" hired "W" to add to "Y".
1) "X" company deciedes to use "Y" program written by "Z".
2) "X" requires a change be made to "Y", but alas, "Z" wanted to stop working on the project.
3) "X" hires an employee "W" to add features to their existing system.
4) "X" pays "W" to become aquainted with the program, their system, their needs, the code, etc.
5) "X" ends up paying more money then going with the "V" commercial application.

Yes, but then you have people saying "My logo is copywritten, I'm going to sue you." or "that site had pr0n of my girlfriend, I'm going to kill you."
3 posts and already /.'d. *sigh* People need faster connections.

when people used to give horses steroids so that they would win their bets. All this new technology is confusing!
This reminds me of the school that Richie Rich attended in the film of same-name. Wow, I can't believe I just admitted watching that.
How about Perl vs. every other language. :-)
Look at this post
Oh yeah, I guess it was rings. My mistake. :-)

Coins exploding from his body Sonic the Hedgehog style? I thought that was a Sega game. :-)
Of course, even Sega is developing for the Gamecube now. It's kind of sad what poor marketing and lack of developers can do to a company.
1) Cheat
:-)
2) ???
3) Profit
I've heard this before.
I don't want to switch to the SETI Program, I am closer to building the Great Wall. Each city automatically gets city walls! ;-)
