This is a fundamental truth, brought to us by Socrates.
Sometimes this is easy to forget when you are surrounded by people who lie to themselves to justify greed and injustice.
I can't imagine what it's like living in the U.S. right now where they can justify "Acting unilateraly for America's benefit." The whole thought is ridiculous.
But technology, especially information technology is always a good thing. Imperialism will continue as long as their is a power divide to perpetuate it but the ultimate weapon has been created and the end is in sight. Technology will bring equality.
There may be setbacks, GPS is locked for anti-American forces, the version designed by the E.U. was vetoed by the U.N. America might devise a way to shield itself from nuclear weapons and impose a cruel imperalist yoke on the rest of the world for another hundred years, but in time it will equal out.
Also I believe that if people are sufficiently educated they won't be able to lie to themselves anymore. If you don't believe this then you are right to stand in the way of technological progress.
But if you have faith in human decency then Linux is at the heart of creating people who understand one another and know a little bit about the evils going on in society. And that is the first step towards doing something about them...
There cannot possibly under any circumstances be any code in Linux that wasn't meant to be there," which is TERRIBLY unlikely not only because of the innate absurdity of the court ruling on the potential "ownership" of every line of code.
I think a ruling stating that there is no difinitive evidence that there is offending code in linux and that all the code in Linux belongs in the public domain would not be unreasonable.
Linus wrote the kernel, everything else is subsidary and fluid. Linux as a whole can not be held responsible for other aspects as they were checked as well as posible.
The courts DO NOT hold organizations specializing in the public good to the same standard as companies which specialize in profit.
Really that's the first I've heard about it... Do a minimum install then get mp3's licq and a firewall working without having to track down a dependency and I will be impressed, we'll both be happy and linux will be a step closer to being ready for the desktop.
RPM's are a huge problem and driver support.
How difficult would it be to use some p2p software to enable automatic driver downloading? This could surpass the windows model and I can't imagine it's that hard to do.
There is enough media produced even without corperate sponsorship to allow for ratings in this range. Really it means they should be ignored. It's important to have reviews that say, "Stop reading now you've wasted enough time on this game."
I don't really know about twice the performance. They seem to have figured out what the latest games are doing and properly optomise for it. I doubt we'd be seeing 800fps in Quake 3 regardless of CPU and bandwidth constraints.
Once again we get a card that is blindingly fast for existing and older games but doesn't have any capacity to look forward.
This is the same (*insert excrement) we find on other news sources. Other than the poor story checkbacks slashdot is the best news site on the internet. There is no reason you need to stoop to this level, so he's famous and his oppinion matters more, what a joke.
What's next human interest stories? Flying saucers?
I am of the opinion that humans are inherently good. This is a pretty important descision when you involve youself with technology. Every technological impprovement improves the capability of people and therefore their ability to do good or evil.
When you limit what people can do you limit both of these aspects.
If they implement this choice they remove the right of people to choose. They assume that people have been doing bad things because they are evil not because they have good reasons which we might not understand and you take away any posibility of providing information to "wrongdoers" to correct their ways.
The entire thought process behind this is very american it is unfortunate that CPU's are almost exclusivly their domain. Let's hope they go about this in a stupid way allowing me to buy several of the last real generation of free processors.
Xbox has too many modchips and they limited their online play. As more and more tunneling programs become available and the xbox gets cheaper we might see some growth.
There have been many strategie games that have done it justice. The thing about making rpgs about movies or books is no matter what degree you mirror the storyline people will be upset.
With an action or realtime strategie game you need a few keypoints but everything that was in the movie or wasn't in the movie is pure gravy. That being said Dune 1 and Dune 2 are amazing and the newer battlefield dune was good. There are some rpgs for the snes I enjoyed despite not being a big rpg fan
Well it's kind of important. If you are developing a compiler or other low level code you create with the best implementation you can but then some of your user base can't get it to run.
Basically we are looking at a AMDs will definitly run it Intels will probably run it scenario. If you have to run drivers for your processor (Which is looking more and more likely as WinXP64 nears shipping without an Intel64 part.) that is pretty important.
Second Gamebeavers.org is just one example. Seems to be down right now but believe me it works, I've played it... A.I. needs some work but they have a passable game and an increadible engine.
I still can't figure out for me why users create mods instead of free games. There are many brilliant engines out there and teams which support development practically at the level of modding but allow the team more freedom and if successful can be distributed to the user base for free!
Why put in all that work to make someone else money?
Please teams before you start a mod look at the resources available to everyone for free! You can find something that might eventually have 100% Mac/Linux/Windows penetration for free!

Well let's hope they remember that the bullets might do more good domestically.
cough. Risk your life for what you believe in right? Isn't that what seperates it from conscription, oh wait.
No one ever believes they are wrong.

Daikatana sold at least one copy.
Ohhh real is comming be afraid. Oh wait it crashed... now it's comming again.
I'm not sure where the word anti-americanism came from but it's a pretty funny one.
Please bomb us some more, we'll elect you school president.
Morons.
Um it's boring when you can see enemies comming a mile away and they just run straight at you.
The only alternative is something like Ghost Recon but that one game kind of does it to death. Though very well.

If you think cost of manufacture would affect game cost to a noticable degree, you are out of your mind.
If you think about it the router can link to at least three cards.
:)
Most cards can link to at least three cards
Use 3 connections between them and triple the throughput simple. Should work problems asociated with massive throughput aside should work well.
My friend's network goes out when he receives a phonecall course he has a linksys router
They'll fingerprint and photo you to just cuz you entered. and search your bag. The country is full of poverty and corruption.
High rates of violent crimes make being a tourist unsafe.
Go to Japan or China at least the people are friendly and honest and if you get bombed you'll take innocent people with you.
It's just a shame when a great mod goes unnoticed because no one wants to buy the game.
First off "Quite"(/end nitpick)

I love NS but by inovating you mean making worse? They are really hurting the game...
DOD is free and an Excellent game as well.
Yea this Steam only implementation is complete bullshit.
Flying Car = here. It's friggin VTOL for christ sake.
Even if you don't like flying you gotta admit it beats parralel parking.
"remotely, significantly, or excessively excited!"
Boy am I! I love feature bloat!
