If you are looking for duplicate code, then its a pretty non-programmer task. Its kinda like "compare column A" and "locate instances of column A within column B
That's true if the point is to say, "Yep, I definately see some of the same stuff."
I thought that the point was to have some sort of idea if it was actually SCO stuff.
A Non-Programmer will have absolutely no idea about that. About as useful as doing a string search.
World Series baseball 2k3 for ps2 is a very enjoyable game. Not quite sure what your point is.
And drafts for it are fun, but there are too many players that the game ranks low, but consistantly play above their standard. I've ran through multiple seasons already (yes, 162 games, yes I have no life.)
The best invention was the ability to create fictional players. We use that thing every time now.
Umm, I think I wanted to post about WSB2k3 more than reply to anything else you said. You made valid points, but a bit to confrontational. I'd try smiling more.
Slashdot is all about complaining. Hell, you complained about my complaining!
It isn't as if I picket on the streets, or anything. I just don't purchase the games. Right. I just found it odd that a company would be lavishing the fact they are creating two more games that will most likely be exactly the same with maybe 1 twist which will hardly be worth the money.
Unless you're into that sort of thing, then enjoy!
We are not yet talking specifically about our two titles under development, but I will hint that fans of GTA and next-generation racing games will not be disappointed.
I'd rather not play anymore GTA/next generation racing games.
Every other game released is a clone off of GTA, or an underground street racing game. 2 more titles going off the same lineage a gaming company does not make.
I think I am just having withdrawls from my dreamcast, which while put out quite a few bad games, always seemed to bring out something intresting like shenmue, virtua tennis, worms, seamen, etc.
Right, but that depends. The line is generally blurred when it comes to someone considered a celebrity.
Take Eminem. He stated quite a bit of truth in diatribes directed at his mother, so much that he is barred from talking about true things that happened via a court injunction.
I think you are generally true, but with our warped sense of celebrity, A celebrity takes much more of a hit via bad information, and thus it is much more important to protect them.
I honestly read it that way. So if anything it would be more of a need to be heard than anything else. You can moderate it anyway you desire.
And I generally miss entire words in sentences, or misconstrue a word to fit in with what my brain expects to be next. I blame it on staring at a monitor all day, but who knows.
I didn't really ask much of a question. I'm just somewhat dumbfounded that ever since amazon, every company patents something that I would think would be unpatentable.
The whole concept of all of this seems moronic to me. I will go download some Metallica MP3s in spite.
She admits the story is true, and reading the rest of his site, you get the impression that everything he says has truth, beyond a bit of artistic perception.
I have no doubt he is telling the truth. The question is, is it slander or free speech that just happens to be slanderous.
They won't even need the same judge this time. This one is completely ludacris.
They are suing over something they never launched, because they intended to copy music on to computers they intended to pay for to distribute, but never distributed, so the whole thing is moot.
Can we slashdot the RIAA with lawsuits? That would be fun.
Really? I have a horrible time trying to type out a message at any time. If there is a need for me to get someone a message while I am not at an internet connection, I can call. If they are not there, I can leave a message.
Text messaging is enabled on recieve on my phone, and people send me messages, and I have never seen a single one that was at all needed aside from, "Hey, call me in 5 minutes."
the problem with having everything separate is that relevant communications cannot get to you fast enough. you may forget to check your email, or your voicemail, or not log into aim.
I could only hope to forget to check my voicemail, or email. That blasted voicemail light sends out a beacon to all who come by to say, "Looks like someone has a voicemail." Grrr, as if I didn't know.
I think you don't want it because you haven't seen it work well, or to your benefit.
And that's true. But let's say that it's the bee's knees. All that I could hope for. I'm happy with what I have, and have no reason or want to change. It's not that I fear change, or anything like that, I am just quite content with my current solution. If I feel like changing it up, maybe I'll add a skin to something. That's as dramatic of a change as I need.
oh yeah, is the girl that would be upset with you your mom?
I can create, and manage my own set of windows, programs, etc for the functions I want to do.
That doesn't mean that others won't find this program useful, but I certainly wouldn't want to use it.
And even if the program was incredibly flexible, I still would rather do it myself. I don't need any more programs controlling all of my data in a centralized place. I do not own a tin foil hat, but I'd rather just manage it all on my own.
Haystack also performs some neat tricks such as combining Email, IM, web pages, etc. into a single inbox
It may just be me, but this is a feature I never want.
I do not want 1 large program to run all of my applications. I do not want to get my email, from where I get my web pages, and my IM. I don't want any of this.
I am quite happy with seperate programs which I can use at my pleasure. I'm happy with the lack of bulk, and the fact I can change an email client without changing a web choice. (although I only use pine anyway.)
Is this just me? Do all of you want your programs shoved together in one large application?
I didn't get any options on my cell phone (like text messaging) because I purchased a cell phone. I wanted a cell phone. To make calls. Nothing else.
I think I liked the internet much better when information was listed on websites for the use of everyone, not to sell to a large company to make a buck.
Just one of the many reasons I hate the internet more and more everyday.
There used to be tons of free content regarding every subject I could imagine. What happened?
Why is it when I do a search for anything, I have to include "free" only to be given lists of websites that say they are, only to outright lie.
I don't care about having to do a few extra searches, it just seems to me that the more and more content that is online, the harder it is for me to find legitimate information without someone wanting to take money from me.
Grr. GameFAQS will be the same way. They will charge just like IGN, and they will fade as well.

What is Hara-Kiri?!
I am searching on google, and finding domain squatters, and heavy metal bands, but neither really makes sense.
Lot of different languages though.

So they just give the patent regardless of the fact they have no one equipped to properly review it?!
I didn't really ask much of a question. I'm just somewhat dumbfounded that ever since amazon, every company patents something that I would think would be unpatentable.
The whole concept of all of this seems moronic to me. I will go download some Metallica MP3s in spite.
but, I thought that patent office had to actually validate the possibility of a patent before accepting it.
I may just be naive, and they accept every patent application until proven wrong, but I honestly beileved this was the case.

With Unlimited calling, versus a pay per text message, of course I would choose a call.
I seem to forget that not everyone has that. So obviously my reasoning is different than everyone elses.
Understand your point of view very much now.
I knew I was making the mistake when I wrote it. My lexicon is severely damaged as well as my spelling.
And I love Luda. He's oodles of noodles.

And what exactly does this have to do with the lawsuit?
Thank you, I will update that now.
Yeah you are right.
That's really the only part I need to quote to sate my ego for the day.
Really? I have a horrible time trying to type out a message at any time. If there is a need for me to get someone a message while I am not at an internet connection, I can call. If they are not there, I can leave a message.
Text messaging is enabled on recieve on my phone, and people send me messages, and I have never seen a single one that was at all needed aside from, "Hey, call me in 5 minutes."
Most of them are, "R U Free 2nite?!"
Just call.

That was funnier the first 50 times I heard it.
And that's exactly my problem, the flexability.
I can create, and manage my own set of windows, programs, etc for the functions I want to do.
That doesn't mean that others won't find this program useful, but I certainly wouldn't want to use it.

GameFAQs has apparently been sold to CNET. The operator says it will stay free for now, but premium services may be introduced later.
In this case may be means definately.
Of course not!
You will recieve free access for any FAQ that you created!

What happened to, For the love of the game?
Everything is measurable. 92.31% of people say so.
