My uncle is an old-timer, circuit-switch technician for at&t -- he keeps the things running and is the lead tech across several states. He tells me packet-switchin' ain't all that, and although at&t is "looking into" going packet-switch over circuit, for the volumes they do, it's just not ready to replace it yet. To back up that claim, he's taken me through "the node" he works at and the majority of it is housing the nortel, circuit-switch racks. Of course, no one has stated at&t is going packet-switched, but I found this story interesting based on the conversations I've had with him.
His blurb on the issue is that voice, unlike data, requires a dedicated connection, and packet-switched doesn't give ya that -- circuit-switching can/does (the packets can arrive out of sequence). Now, I'm prolly mutilating his take on this since this is me (who doesn't understand all of this) trying to regurgitate conversations in the past with him (and maybe my DIMMs have been polluted by searchnetworking.com and reading this forum too).
They do, and they did, for the picture of GWB reading a book upside-down. It was the exact same situation, going to great lengths to prove that it was Photoshopped.
Ah, did not see that one. That's good to know. I guess the bias comes in spurts then. Huh, uh, huh, huh... he said "spurts...."
Snopes also weighs in [snopes.com] on the Bush/Clinton binocular lens cap issue.
Saw that. I like how they went to great lengths in justifying/explaining/excusing the clinton barf, and then go to great lengths to string out a possible explanation, conjecturally, of how the graphic was altered.
It's too bad they don't have enough journalistic integrity to do the same for someone of the opposite, political, affiliation. With Quayle, they went to such lengths as to put up a quicktime montage of his public-speaking barfs (not to mention giving a list of stupid quotes with a "most of these are actually from Quayle" explanation). I saw not an equivalent for clinton.
Hey! Let's not discuss the clip where Gore asks who the bust of George Washington is....
Let's be honest fellas, no one's perfect, politicians are hated, and society today that cares more about the look and sound of a leader makes us all drones of that criteria.
-"Bias? Nah, bias only exists with those who don't agree with me...."
Hah! I just googled part of that quote and it's attributed to GWB gov., GWB pres., Quayle, Gore, Reagan, etc.... Now I see why Internet sources in term papers are frowned upon....
Far harder to dispute is the pic of clinton peering over the DMZ between N. and S. Korea with the lens caps still on the binoculars....
Btw, only in since the birth of the "boob toob" do we care so much about how a leader looks/sounds. Free your minds. Kant was said to look like hell in body, patton had a laffable, high-pitched voice that'd make mike tyson hold his ears. Lincoln had no chin (he started a beard due to it) and also had a hilarious voice. Milton was blind. Only in modernity do we place profile and acting over leadership. Wanna run for president? Be sure to get some good head-shots and lose that southern accent hillbilly!...
Oh lighten up alice. Did you ever hear LBJ pronounce Vietnamese names and places?... His way of saying Dien Bien Phu was a tear jerker. Something along the lines of "Damn Ben Poo."
Nope. As they say I'mma "bump on a pickle." 'My company' is the place I work... at, and it's a corporation worth some $2 billion and exists across the U.S.
I do this stuff for a living, and there's a lot more to 'doing IT' than just knowing the technical details of sendmail. NM. It just ain't worth explaining. I must be the only one living in dilbert land.... Ah, to be young and in college. Or, just young anyhow....
In all seriousness, I brought OSS into my company. We now have linux, sendmail, apache servers running because of... me! I fought a lot of political battles to get there, and part of the problem was the very stuff exhibited in this forum with the "thismail is better than thatmail" crap. Unite! That's my point. Think about it: one advantage microsoft will always have, over OSS as it currently stands, is its oneness....
Perusing this thread I see it's a fine example of why OSS cannot win. It also details, exactly, my impressions when looking into Sendmail as an OSS solution for my corporation and the in-fighting I encountered. Until the OSS crowd can unify, companies such as MS will always win. OSS is like the confederacy: divided, contrary, fractioned. It is like protestantism and as a catholic once criticized: "you guys have never stopped protesting. Churches of 20 break up into two churches of 10 each...."
Mod me! Mod me harder!...
Sorry, I don't answer specific essay questions since college, but Mr. Sperry of Westwood himself lists precursor RTSes that influenced their DuneII. In general, Westwood did not "event" the genre and this from the horse's mouth....
Blizzard followed what worked with RTSes at the time, yes. Also, Westwood did not invent those elements. They were big contributors to the genre. What they invented was the nomenclature, "Real-Time Strategy."
Let's recap:
Westwood "contributed" to RTSes.
Westwood "invented" the nomenclature "RTS."
Now, let's do it to the tune of "The Big Monkey Man" by "Reel Big Fish" (which, I understand, is a remake).....
You are correct. I made a reply to my original post ("redundancy, department of redundancy") wherein I mentioned this, but the article does mention Populous in passing albeit, as a precursor to TBSes (wrongo!). To me, my first RTS experience was Populous back in 90, 91 (can't remember). Yes, I didn't know it was an RTS back then cuz, apparently, the name hadn't been "invented" yet. Also, apparently, WWS "invented" the nomenclature "Real-Time Strategy" which is all good and fine, but it doesn't make them the inventor of games that require both strategy and that happen in real time -- no more than giving 'net a neat name ("Information Super Highway") means Al Gore invented it.
Hats off to WWS for their contributions to RTSes, but come on, invented? Fans do overstate their idol's accomplishments. Let's agree to that much at least....
Omg. What a quaint perspective you have....
Warcraft2 was probably the biggest online gaming experience for the masses before quake was released. Remember this thing called kali?...
And I was thinking of Populous which wasn't covered well in that article, but I played the heck out of it back around 1990 and I consider it an RTS....

qualye quotes (like gore quotes and bush2 quotes) are more often false. snopes [snopes.com] does attribute this one to him though.
Omg, they just moded that up even though snopes CANNOT be said to attribute that quote to Quayle.... See my other posts -- like anyone wants to....

Wtf? I just checked out what www.snopes.com had to say on this quote, and at the page:
http://www.snopes.com/quotes/quayle.htm
It says this, at the top of the previous paragraph, before giving a list of quotes:
"Most of the ones on the following list are actual Quayle quotes" ('most of the ones'?... nice writing there wannabes).
K, so, like, which 'ones' are real 'ones' and which 'ones' are not?!?
Geez. Again, don't use Internet sources in term papers....
Hah! I just googled part of that quote and it's attributed to GWB gov., GWB pres., Quayle, Gore, Reagan, etc.... Now I see why Internet sources in term papers are frowned upon....
