You're souting all thjis bullshit and you have no idea, do you, of modern linux?
Multiple monitors in linux is just as easy as windows. There's a settings menu, you go there and open up a dialog, just like on windows, and set up your screens.
For fuck's sake before you spam slashdot with 50 billion ignorant rants about how shit you think linux is, try a user-aimed distribution that was released sometime this decade. Your comments are a total aste of space.
The bit I don't get is how it's legal for me, the 10% owner, to suddenly find myself only a 5% owner. Do I have to give my consent for this to go ahead?
F451 was misunderstood. I think Ray is more concerned with the balkanization of society where narrow-minded groups decide which book is valuable and which isn't.
Really? I didn't get that from it at all!
To me it was a story about keeping the populace stupid and unthinking, hooked on the television and not able to resist the totalitarianism all around them because they were too stupid to even see it.
2. Whilst the Wii has sold well I'd be surprised (but I guess not too surprised) if it made up 50% of the living room console market when games are taken into account.
Also it would take 520 years to get here anyway...
But I suppose that makes no difference because the first we'd know about it would be the gamma burst. What we're really discussing here is "Has Betelgeuse already gone Boom?"
Like playing on the C64 was a far more "pure" experience than now?
I loved my C64, and some of the games were great, but I wouldn't swap any of the current gen for it.
I don't give much of a crap about another crack on the space marine's face. What I don't like is all the pixellation you get from the Wii on any decent screen. Lack of HD support was an oversight.
And yes I know about the EDTV mode, and that the other consoles are struggling to push their games in 1080 or even 720, but they do try and they do look a lot nicer...
Why would they have to be more realistic? I'd settle for being able to drive an HD screen and some anti-aliasing. I don't find the fact that it's all pixellated to be a plus point.
I also don't think striving for realism is necessarily the best way to go, but that doesn't mean you have to keep the graphics quite so simple.
(I agree, Wii tennis was a great game, it just looks a bit clunky on a 37 inch 1080p panel)
Most people do not deliberately buy systems because they are inferior, even if they aren't technical. No, the Wii will continue to dominate because it's sold well and has a good reputation for fun, well executed, casual gaming. It's too late for the others now.
It's a fact that the hardware is less capable than the others. And the others aren't exactly swimming in RAM by modern standards. No, sorry, it's not that they can't adapt, it's that the games they are making now just can't work in the same way on the Wii.
Now, that doesn't mean the Wii is somehow a bad console - it's a very successful one - it just means that either it's going to hold back the capabilities of games that are released across all three platforms or (far more likely, and in fact happening) encourage an entirely different set of games aimed at a totally different audience.
What would be the point of owning all three consoles if they all got the same games and had the same capabilities anyway?
Pretty sure that somewhere on the middle island there's a little place you can get to by flipping a car a certain way, and by no other means. In there is a sign saying "you're not supposed to be able to get here" or something similar.
Can't remember when I last had dealings with this. I have used ralink devices though....
Looking at the rt2x00, kernels from 2.6.24 onwards should have the rt2x00 driver right there in the kernel, so it should Just Work(TM). You shouldn't need to build the older, legacy drivers any more.
I agree though, it's a pain making sure to rebuild the driver modules every time you have a kernel update. I've had to do it with the atheros chipset in my laptop. Hopefully, as these device drivers become official, we get to stop doing that.

... to have a noticeable impact on the Coriolis force?
In my world, when you have a profitable business, you haven't "failed". Not being the leader doesn't mean no profit, no audience, or no games.

Why do you think the PS3 has"failed"?
It may not be "winning" but these are very different things.
Well I'm sure that MS have been looking at compiz for inspiration again.
I mean, who got there first? It sure as hell wasn't MS.
You're forgetting the people who've been doing virtualisation for 30 years - IBM.

And how many PC games use motion control?
Unless you mean the mouse? Which I don't think counts...
1. You ignore the PC, phone and handheld segments
2. Whilst the Wii has sold well I'd be surprised (but I guess not too surprised) if it made up 50% of the living room console market when games are taken into account.
Yeah, and if you RTFA you can see it was put back up on wednesday.
FAIL.
Actually, thinking about this rationally, I'm sure the Jedi could detect it ahead of time as planets in it's wake are destroyed.
Also it would take 520 years to get here anyway...

I believe we were talking about drugs stashes...

Oh yes, I'm sure there's huge demographic that actively don't want decent graphics!

Don't have any at present but there will be two rules in my house -
1. Don't get caught
2. Dad gets to share
Yeah, the real message is that you just don't hand you collection of illegal images over to anyone if you don't want them found.
Like, if you have to go to the police station to bail out a friend, leave your drugs at home. These things are common sense.
Also this guy should rot in jail.
Remembering to do it, so that next time you need wifi you're not there saying "damn, wait a moment, just gotta rebuild my driver..."
It's not that hard, it's just an extra thing.
Pretty sure that somewhere on the middle island there's a little place you can get to by flipping a car a certain way, and by no other means. In there is a sign saying "you're not supposed to be able to get here" or something similar.
Or, just, you know, shove in the Ubuntu CD and see if it all works in the live environment. No luck required that way.
But sure, buying pre-installed or know-good hardware is safest.
I'll stop putting my phone in my pocket the moment someone proves that this "possible harm" is anything more than luddite hysteria.
