If he said "everybody knows (windsor==canada)==true" then it'd be the same thing, and he can't use a single = sign, because then he's doing the assignment himself right now. So I think he chose the best option.
I hate it when people miss-quote another author's text. It says 93 Million a day in the UK NOT 73 million a day! The mind tends to think, wow, the author (probably US based), must not be able to remember a figure between reading the article and clicking reply:P
I hate it when people misspell words in the English language. It's misquote, NOT miss-quote! The mind tends to think, wow, the author (probably a dumbass), must not have been able to remember a spelling between learning a word and using it in an inflammatory post on Slashdot!
Know what else is funny? I don't remember this discussion being an OS debate. We've all heard your argument before, we all know Linux is less susceptible to spyware, and we know Microsoft was determined to be a monopoly by the courts.
The grandparent poster's suggestion was assuming the user had Windows because the discussion is about fucking WINAMP, a WINDOWS program. I'd say anyone using Windows who was sensible would indeed use Firefox (or Opera), as the GP said.
You don't need to jump on every comment that mentions Windows and promote Linux in such a zealous/inflammatory fashion, especially when the comment about Windows was helpful and was promoting OSS like Firefox.
You have good points, and I agree with you on the whole, but I have to point out that Photoshop is at 9.0, and they have added significant features with every major release (6 of them since you switched at 3.5). For example, the RAW support and Vanishing Point added in 9.0. I don't know if GIMP has those features now, but to some people they are necessary (and in my opinion, quite amazing) and weren't in GIMP last time I used it.
16 pixel shaders [sic] engines and DX9 SM3.0 graphics compliant hardware... from NVIDIA now available in AGP.
I've had my AGP 6800 GT for a year, and I'm pretty sure the 6800 line has been out for closer to 2 years. The GT and the Ultra both have 16 pixel pipelines and support DX9 and SM3.0, this isn't something new, not even for AGP.
Resident Evil 4's sales on the PS2 have been so-so because it was already out on GameCube for 6 months and it sold excellent on there. RE4 is one of the best games ever, having played through it myself on GC and having tried the PS2 version, but the GC version beats the PS2 version any day (the control just feels right on GC, it feels like a port on PS2).
RESIDENT EVIL 4, Gran Turismo 4, God of War, FEAR, Battlefield 2, Quake 4, Guild Wars, San Andreas for PC/Xbox, Ninja Gaiden Black, Far Cry Instincts, Burnout Revenge, Shadow of the Colossus, We Love Katamari, Brothers in Arms, Civilization IV, Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil...
Maybe those aren't all BLOCKBUSTER hits but they're all at least excellent or highly anticipated games, and I'd say RE4 and GT4 at least are blockbuster. Just because the Xbox 360 doesn't have anything but CoD2 and PGR3 doesn't mean this wasn't an excellent year for gaming.
I would link you to our Facebook profiles, as they have dirty wall posts from each other, but I assume you're still in high school, with that 934k userid, the illegibility of your original post, and the immaturity of your multiple unfounded responses assuming I'm a virgin (not since I was 15, by the way).
I played Morrowind, probably put close to 400 hours into it with the expansions, so I know how huge it is.
And it was on a single CD-ROM. We're talking about DVD-9s here (about 12-13 times as much room as on a CD). The expansions each had their own CD, but none of them were filled (I think the Morrowind CD had about 600MB, Tribunal about 300MB, and Bloodmoon 500MB). The install was about 1.3GB on the hard drive, after installing Morrowind AND its 2 expansions.
Most of the dungeons and towns in Daggerfall were randomly generated. It was something like a million square miles, but only the main dungeons and towns were hand-made. Morrowind was MUCH smaller, but nothing was randomly generated (and it was still huge, even by PC RPG standards).
The point is, that the landmass of TES 4: Oblivion (an Xbox 360 game, perfect example for this discussion) is only slightly bigger than Morrowind's at about 16 square miles, so Bethesda has about 13 times more room, and the only things that will really take up much more space with Oblivion are the higher-res textures, and the hours of voice-overs, which Morrowind didn't have. I think they can manage to fit all that in the extra 8GB they have to work with now.
It was okay with me in Project Gotham Racing when there were ads on the screens in Times Square, because that fit the setting. But when I was playing the second level of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory the other day, in-game advertising just pissed me off.
The level is a cargo ship controlled by terrorists in the middle of the ocean, and it's a dark and rainy night. Quite atmospheric. And right there at the beginning of the level, on the sides of the crates, are HUGE FUCKING INTEL GAMING ADVERTISEMENTS. They're seriously about 3 times as large as your character in the game, and there's two identical ads right next to each other.
That pulled me right out of the atmosphere of the game, because I couldn't stop thinking about how I wanted to punch the head of Ubisoft in the face. I immediately uninstalled the game, took the disc out of the drive, took a big dump on it, lit it on fire, drove my car to a nearby river, and threw the flaming, shitty DVD-ROM out the window into to the flowing water.
Besides, AMD processors are better for gaming anyway.
In Firefox's Options, under the Tabs section, there's 2 options to fix your problem:
Open links from other applications in: *A new tab in the most recent window Force links that open new windows to open in: *A new tab
I do like Opera though, it's faster with all the same features. But I still use Firefox for one reason: you can middle-click links in the bookmarks toolbar to open them in a new tab (in Opera this only works on links in web pages).
3dfx is coming back! I know it! They can't use the Glide name, it'll cause confusion when 3dfx makes its big comeback and is a common household name, and not a distant memory withering away into obscurity! Sure, bite your thumb at me, but I'll be the one laughing when my Voodoo 6 runs DNF better than your GeForce 12.
Haha.. I had just woken up when I wrote that, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that I myself am a huge dick for about an hour after I wake up...
Speaking of raspberries, I actually have an AIM screen name registered: pthbtttt. I'm glad someone agrees with me on the spelling of the raspberry sound:-)
Slashdot Mirror
I wonder if the GP noticed that he bolded a misspelled word and then misspelled one of his own in the same fashion... could be a coincidence.
It all depends on the language, of course. I had just assumed windsor and canada were objects with overloaded == operators (in C++) ;-)
If he said "everybody knows (windsor==canada)==true" then it'd be the same thing, and he can't use a single = sign, because then he's doing the assignment himself right now. So I think he chose the best option.

Ever heard of commas and periods? They're quite useful if you don't want to sound like a dumbass.
And what the hell is by avoiding to move them?
Very beginning of 2005, but close to last year.

TMP is also the name of the shittiest gun in Counter-Strike ;-)
And now everyone knows you're a woman that can't drive a stick ;-)
NO! I accidentally found that once after one of those long sessions of reading man pages and barely figuring out just the parameter you need.

Very original with "M$", it's like they're a large corporation whose goal is making money and you figured it out!
You even used a very clever little acronym for Microsoft that utilizes the similarity between an "S" and a dollar sign!

Your post was a tricky one to read, with all that punctuation missing!
Open links from other applications in: *A new tab in the most recent window

+2 INSIGHTFUL? On my comment about the SPELLING OF THE SOUND OF RASPBERRIES? I'm taking a screenshot.
Speaking of raspberries, I actually have an AIM screen name registered: pthbtttt. I'm glad someone agrees with me on the spelling of the raspberry sound :-)
He was replying to someone who said RC3 and the final were different, dick.
Man, they're more behind the times than I thought.
Although I guess if my laptop was broken I could use this "magazine" to read old technology news while I take a dump...
