To get the hell out of the western hemisphere before this law goes into effect (or at least out of the US.) This treaty is just plain wrong on so many levels. Reminds me of Athens, 411 BC. The democracy voted itself out of existance. The United States, 2004. The democratic republic sold out its future for want of a better present.
I'm not saying it is, I'm just asking the question: what if the reason we need to buy all this super expensive insane hardware is becuase the code is shit? Has it occured to anyone that maybe the reason for all this insane hardware is not cuase its needed for performance itslef but that i it is needed to cover up ineffecienies in code? Not recommending any solutions or anything, just posing the question (though if I did, I would recommend better education with more emphasis on good code as opposed to just working code.)
Real gamers are always in fun mode! At work, at church, at social events. If you ain't thinking about Quake WHILE doing your girlfriend, you aren't hardcore!
Oh yeah, well I have my enitre motherboard sitting in liquid nitrogen and my cpu covered in solid hydrogen. I thought my cd player would work well but I needed a better bus so I replaced the wires with supercooled (thanks to my liquid helium cooling system) pure silver wire, the only superconductor I could buy. And to make it run better I built my own nuclear reactor to power it so its up from 3.3 volts to now working at 1.21 gigawatts, not to mention I purchased an lcd screen the size of a thousand football fields and plan on launching it into space so that I can watch stuff on it. Yep, Quake at 1 million fps here I come! So get the best stuff and cover it with material from the core of Jupiter and bump up the voltage to the power of a small scale nuclear detonation.
wtf? Where did I say anything about Opensource and free software? All I said is what if the quiality of the code is bad. What are you, an M$ employee? You immediatley go bezerk and start flaming Open Source topics everytime someone questions someone elses code quality?
Actually, I had my gaming start with the atari 2600. But I still consider the few short years of the SNES the golden age of gaming - the point where graphics, gameplay, music, and all the other aspects balanced perfectly. I like pc games too but for awhile now (and the last year in particular) my interest in what the latest big hits are has dropped to almost zero. The only good games I've seen lately have been console games like Kindgom Hearts. The pc market is full of second rate crap.
How much of this 'you have to buy the latest greatest hardware' crap is just an excuse to cover bad code? What if the only reason we need all this hardware is becuase a bunch of people can't write effecient game code?
I'm not unduly fearful of what is foreign and especially of people of foreign origin. I simply think that names like that are uncreative and idiotic. If you name your kid something like that, your a dumbass.
Athens: declared everyone who wasn't its ally was against it and consequently invaded its nuetral neighbors till they either sided with sparta or joined with athens.
Dude, maybe the poll are wrong. Come on, if you voted for some unpopular jackass, would you then come out of the machine and then tell the whole frigging state?
what if a person goes outside the lines, or if there x doesn't reach the corners. do you count that vote. What if the x is realy faded, how do you know the x was really put there or if ti did not just get rubbed on by another pencil mark on another piece of paper? and what if someone puts a check mark instead of an x? a checkmark could look a lot liek an x and vice versa...
And during the american civil war some guy perdicted the world would not last beyond another 100 years becuase soon some country would build a bomb capable of 'blowing up the world'.

No, sen it the people pulling the president's strings. But then again, he and neither will they.
Face it, we're screwed. The only question is who's doing the screweing, the politicians or the corporations.

Forget five years, my computer is only 3 years old and I can already get one twice as good for only $500!

I agree. I have more fun playing old SNES games written ten years ago than I do any pc games released this year.
Steven Stevens I presume.
What about ppl where their first name is also their last name like 'Steven Stevens'?
"Without that obligation, there is nothing worthwhile to defend."
You sure you fought for this country? Or did you fight for the UN?

The whole pen thing is an urban legend.

what about exception handling?
I can see it now: Kevin Mitnick wins the first 100% evoting election by landslide of 7 billion votes.
