fans of GTA and next-generation racing games will not be disappointed.
Well, considering that in all of the GTA titles, all the racing missions were painfully unbearable, I'd say this guy has something of a history of making bad racing games.
Don't get me wrong, though, I liked the GTA titles, they were lots of fun. Just not if I had to race anybody:)
Let's hope these two misterious titles aren't stinkers.
it wouldn't surprise me at all if Redhat starts to get into antitrust problems.
The difference is that Microsoft only distributes it's own products, while RedHat distributes programs from a million different, independant developers.
Microsoft is using it's OS monopoly to develop a monopoly in IM, email, browsers, office apps, web servers, etc etc etc. That's antitrust.
RedHat doesn't even have an OS monopoly, but even if it did, it distributes more than one browser, more than one IM client, more than one email app, etc etc etc etc, and none of them are produced by RedHat.
is it me or is SCO suing EVERYBODY now? I wonder if they will soon decide to sue God for creating a universe in which all these patent infringement stuff takes place.
I seem to remember a case where some guy's house was destroyed by a tornado... so he sued the church. Supposedly, the church represented God, and God controlled the weather (act of nature and all that), so it must have been the church's fault.
That said, academia DEFINITELY has stronger protections on crediting sources than the law requires. That makes sense both from a standpoint of due credit (often a noncommercial researcher views credit as their primary payment for a job well done) and from an academic standpoint (interested readers can then go read the original sources and learn more about the subject or evaluation your interpretations of those sources).
Also, writing papers for English is supposed to teach you how to actually write, not how to plagiarise. Handing in Hamlet as a term paper in a creative writing course might be legal, but it doesn't actually teach you anything, so you'll obviously get into a lot of trouble for it... just like cheating on a test; you don't learn anything, and you get in trouble. It's pretty simple, really:)

Last week I had already downloaded ~400MB of the latest Knoppix ISO (over several hours) when the dude(s) that were feeding me closed their clients unexpectedly, thus dropping my download to 10KB/sec. It would be great if I could take the 400MB I already have and resume the.torrent from another server seed with more activity to pick up the rest.
What was the problem? As long as the file is identical bit-for-bit, it doesn't matter which torrent you get it from.
You had 400MBs of the file, then you open it on some torrent, it checks the existing file, and starts downloading from more or less where you left off.
Besides, it doesn't even HAVE to be illegal -- the RIAA can threaten a lawsuit, and Bram won't have enough money to defend himself, forcing him to settle out of court/stop developing BT.
Gotta love the legal system -- the guy with the most money wins, every time.
it's hard to mistake an ad for an error message, especially if it moves with the HTML as you scroll, and it's a different color than your actual windows widgets.
All BitTorrent would be saying is "look, we created this to solve the problem of distributing things like ISO images to hundreds of people. We didn't create this to help you download the matrix. We stronly encourage you not to use it for that".
The author of BitTorrent has the latest Mandrake and RedHat ISOs on his website. He doesn't have Matrix Reloaded. I think that speaks for itself.
Many times, i've been the only leech on a file with 2 or 3 seeds, and I download just fine, even though there's nothing for me to upload.
Also, even when I'm not the only leech, my downloads commonly go 50 to 60 k/s, while the uploads only go 10 or 20. I suppose it all depends on the popularity of the file, though. My connection is capped at 150 down and 50 up. In the past, I've had one torrent that maxed both of those:)
When you read that FAQ entry, it's probably more accurate to say that your client's willingness to upload will allow it to download quickly, not so much the rate at which you are actually uploading.
I guess we'll be seeing BUS carved into the moon's surface. No one will ever forget the President who tattooed the moon.
Later, there will be a moon reconstruction mission on which they use precision blasting to try and fill the holes, though they are only able to fix the 'B'.
From then on, the moon will always say 'US'.
Oh, and there will be a giant bite taken out of it, too.:)
(Oh, and to make you feel even better about my job - I have two weeks at Christmas, a week for spring break, and two months off every summer).
That sounds like a highschool student, except the "my job provides my housing, my food, my utilities, and my Internet access" bit.
What are you, like the sysadmin for a strange highschool that allows you to live at the school? That's about the only thing I can think of that fits the description.
Oh, and as for what to do with your money -- give it to me, of course.
Strange, I have an older Radeon (7500) that will lock with anything but the VESA drivers.
Well, mine's the 9000, and I was really talking about the stock X 4.2.99.3 as distributed by the Xfree team themselves (compiled from source on an LFS system).
Nowadays, Knoppix boots X 4.3 and uses the vesa driver by default, and there doesn't seem to be any trouble with it. Currently I'm using the radeon driver on my RH9 system, and it seems totally fine (no reason for me to even try the vesa driver, so I can't comment on it).
I have a Radeon, and XFree 4.3 shipped with Mandrake 9.1 just locks up the local machine when you try and log out.
Are you using the VESA driver? I had lots of problems with the vesa drivers with my radeon, it seems like there's a 50% chance of X hanging the whole computer whenever it starts, stops, or changes resolution in any way if I use the vesa driver...
I've had no troubles at all using the actual radeon driver, though.

Have computers and the internet made college life any easier in some respects?
:)
In my computer science courses, the prelab questions would be posted online, and after they were due, the answers were posted online.
The answers were also in the google cache...

There is one difference that may make it more difficult for MS to make a stable OS/patch than it is for Apple - they don't control the hardware.
As opposed to Linux, which does control the hardware?
[Microsoft] could compile an exact duplicate of Linus' personal kernel, and somehow, the Zealots would find something wrong.
No shit, sherlock. With all the anti-Linux FUD coming out of Microsoft, it would be painfully hypocritical of MS to release a Linux distro.

What's the problem?
Bram isn't doing anything illegal.
Since when has that ever stopped the RIAA?
Besides, it doesn't even HAVE to be illegal -- the RIAA can threaten a lawsuit, and Bram won't have enough money to defend himself, forcing him to settle out of court/stop developing BT.

Your download rate is the average of all the total current upstream divided by the number of people downloading.
I don't think that could be farther from the truth -- not everybody downloads at the same rate, of course.
All BitTorrent would be saying is "look, we created this to solve the problem of distributing things like ISO images to hundreds of people. We didn't create this to help you download the matrix. We stronly encourage you not to use it for that".
The author of BitTorrent has the latest Mandrake and RedHat ISOs on his website. He doesn't have Matrix Reloaded. I think that speaks for itself.
That isn't entirely accurate.

Live in a basement. Basements, almost by definition, are cold -- even in the summer. I love it here in my grandparent's basement :)
There are many amongst the slashdot crowd that probably think it's ok to bomb my place of employment.
He works for Microsoft! GET HIM!
It sounds like it would make a damn good anti counterfeiting measure, at the very least.
we can detect if employees are leaving with more money than they came to work with
Isn't that the whole point of working? To go home with more money than you started with?
He's Canadian and all,
A preliminary Google search reveals that Mr. Bolton was born in New Haven, Conneticut.
I'm not an expert on geography, but I'm pretty sure that Conneticut is not in Canada...

the news came out that they'd been sitting on a potential root vulnerability for a long time
:)
Do you have any references? Please back up your claims.
I like the anecdote, "Gee, this closed source thing turned out to be a huge risk! I'll stay open source, thanks.", but I'd like some proof
Replace all fans with water-cooling equivalents, then you don't have any fans to worry about (no moving parts, either).
If dust is still a problem after that, make the cases air-tight (seal all holes), then no dust can get in.
