Well don't think that the spinning could only be used mechanically. I'm thinking that it could be used to detect things, but I don't really know what i'm talking about
There is a reason for headlines. Read them, if it's not something you think you'd be interested, then DON'T CLICK IT. I don't and I'm sure no one else cares whether you thought it was interesting or not. I'm not even that interested in it but I know that there are some people out there that are and for them, it is news.
the company "paid more than $60 million in 1999 to acquire Intrinsa, maker of a bug-finding tool called Prefix.
when was the last time Microsoft just licensed software they wanted instead of just buying the company that makes it?
That people fast forwarding through commercials would be paying more attension so that they don't go too far. I don't have TiVo and maybe my point is invalid but I don't pay any attension to the TV during commercials because I can hear when the program comes back on.
I'm pretty sure that by "keyboard isn't responding" he was referring to the program displaying the keyboard since that makes more sense and is more relevent to this
This is the point I was about to make. I've worked with flat file , serialized data, xml files, and MySQL for databases for many small websites. Sure the first 3 are faster in execution, even if it isn't noticable, but using MySQL shaves a lot of time off the coding.

Maybe they'll add a built-in Microsoft Keyboard in the consumer version.
I didn't mean that I don't use my thumb at all....it has its place on spacebar-duty and on my mouse's thumb-button...it just doesn't do nearly as much work as it does on controllers
The big problem with controllers is that most of them are designed to be thumb-oriented, with recent controllers featuring triggers to use your index finger as well. The big advantage of using a keyboard for most game is that you can use ALL your fingers. This enables you much, much more speed and greater control over your character's movement and other actions. When I'm playing Halo on my Xbox I always curl my right index finger to the top of the controller, where all the buttons are, and use my middle finger to shoot. Is this really necessary? If I were playing it on my PC w/ a keyboard I would have fingers ready to do every major action in an instant....and there isn't even an arguement against a mouse's superiority for aiming in an FPS. Considering that in the entire history of consoles there have been what? 2? 3? successful FPSs, and IMHO this is only because of the frustration involved with aiming in an FPS with a joystick.
if we don't buy and install it. Too bad all the big corporations will love it..keep the cubical monkies from infecting the network with "a humour game" and keep customers from doing anything with their stuff that they don't want them too. And then we'll start to see software that will only run on Palladium-enabled windows...and eventually all the monkey people will buy it up so they can use their latest tax program.

I suppose it makes sence to post the one real story today 5 times...
I'm starting to think that the perfect april fools day joke for slashdot would be a real story
Think about it...no one would have a clue!
Southpark's cartman screaming "Cripple fight!!" comes to mind

looky the karma whore didn't get his reward

Yeah that must be it because they really need to let people know that there is a sequal coming.

i suggest redhat for an easy install and all the software you need.
I had a lot of problems compiling and installing software on mandrake that I just havn't had on redhat
And you don't think corporations will ruin it by "highlighting" all their "useful" information? The potensial for abuse is incredible.
What controller designers need to start doing is taking advantage of all those unused fingers and stop dumping all the work on the thumbs.
I don't even use my thumbs all that much when playing PC games with a keyboard...

4.3.0 is crap anyway. I upgraded to it and had nothing but trouble. Most servers I've seen are sticking with 4.2.3
