Earth to idiot: SOFTWARE VULNERABILITIES ARE NOT VIRUSES, YOU FUCKING MORON. I don't know if you're aware of this, but most viruses now propagate themselves through the sheer idiocy of computer users, which can't be controlled on ANY computer. Pull your head out of your ass.
When it comes to things that end in -ize, Americans use -ize and British use -ise. This is way too much thought put into something that was essentially just me telling a moron to go fornicate himself with a stick.;)
Sounds more like benchmarking early Povray. For whatever reason, Povray before about 3.1 was faster on UNIX systems. A lot of the POV users would do their test renders on their main Windows box, then do the final render on another Linux machine. AFAIK, it's kind of evened out as of late.
What's really cool is that every time I've emailed him about even the stupidest POV-related item, he's replied and been super cool about it. I interviewed him a couple of years back for a website that never got around to publishing the article. One of the renders he did took nearly six months to finish. Long live the P200, I guess.:D
There are absolutely no guarantees when it comes to being in a band. Some bands make all of their money off of tours, other make money off of CD sales. It all depends on their contracts.
It works both ways. Video games are pretty much the most incestuous industry ever. There are so many sub-subcontractors, it's very possible that the developers will force the REAL developers to put DRM in a game before they send it to the publisher.
That said, I certainly do not wish to bargain anything on behalf of you or anyone else. My vote is just that: *my* vote. I respect and encourage you to use yours. *THAT* is what I consider a freedom.
No, no, no, you don't get it. When a retard like the grandparent speaks of freedom, he's not talking about 'The ability to do whatever you want.' He's actually talking about 'The ability for everyone to do everything the way I want them to, and anyone that questions me is a Communist.' Basically, they're fascist dipshits that are too goddamned stupid to realize that either things happen the way they want, or we have an actual FREE society.
Because, as LOGIC and REASON dictate, you can't have both.
I love it when dipshits talk guns, because anytime anyone says anything bad about it, they immediately start jizzing out the same lame fucking arguments. "Well, why don't we band KNIVES and FORKS then?!?? COLD DEAD HAAAAAAAAAAAANDS! *JIZZ*"
You ever think that maybe, just maybe, the overwhelming majority of people are fucking idiots that can't even be trusted to handle a gun at a fucking firing range, let alone in a high-pressure situation? You make the very, VERY stupid assumption that everyone that owns a gun is properly trained. Are you willing to bet your life on it? How many people do you think are going to try to act like the bigshot, running around holding the gun sideways at a downward angle, just like the gangstas, and get a hell of a shock when they find out why you don't do that in real life (you break your wrist)?
I honestly don't trust the majority of Americans to be able to handle that sort of pressure.
I don't even trust a tiny minority of people to be able to handle firearms properly in the most stress-free situation imaginable. I sure as fuck don't want 200 Dirty Harry wannabes waving their Glocks under my nose when I get mugged. I'd rather take my chances with the mugger.
You are aware that pretty much every convenience store, bank, restaraunt... well, practically EVERY place of business has security cameras, right? And that these security cameras are essential in providing evidence that catches and convicts criminals, right? Please, pull your head out of your ass.
What's your point? You don't like the dude's flinging his meat near your head, you get up and walk away. Hey, that's analogous to changing the channel! It still doesn't change the fact that if some dude randomly started dry-humping your leg, you'd call the cops and/or kick his ass.
Or maybe I just don't care if two friends and businessmen help each other make money? Ever think of that? "OMG! TEH BUSH GOT TEH MON3Y$$$ FROM H1CKS!!!1111!!" I don't know about any of that shit, and I don't care. What I DO know is that you were completely wrong on the stadium issue.
So what you're saying is that there was a private key in the HL2 source which was compromised by the code release?
Since your brain apparently has trouble parsing English, I'll walk you through this.
PGP and GPG are both 'public key' encryption schemes (more correctly, they're both implementations of the same scheme). You have a public and a private key. When someone sends you a message, they encrypt it with your public key. You then can decrypt it only with your private key. Security through obscurity. If anyone finds out your private key, you're boned. You have to rely on nobody finding it out to ensure the system is secure.
A secure cryptosystem is secure even when the source is released. A game should be the same way, and it is; if having the uncompiled source code makes the game insecure, it doesn't - the game was already insecure.
This is all either totally irrelevant or remarkably dumb. A secure crypto system is not a game. There are no public and private keys. There is no encryption. You CAN NOT guard a proprietary software based system by spewing your source code everywhere. Look at id's source releases. How many cheats appear when they release the source for their games? A LOT. This isn't an argument against open software, but with proprietary software, at some point, OBSCURITY IS A NECCESITY.
Yeah, they did it the exact same way that sports teams have always got new stadiums. They put it to a vote. The people in the city decided they wanted a new stadium. They got the money for it.
That's a hell of a snowjob. Using democracy like that.
I'm not saying you're completely wrong on everything, just that you're a moron that seriously needs to walk outside for a while.
No, you just don't get it. Don't even bother talking to idiots like the grandparent. They don't understand the concept of ACCOUNTABILITY. You can stand in a park and say "FUCK A GOAT!" all you want, but eventually someone is going to get annoyed and call the cops on your weird ass. Free speech does NOT mean being completely unaccountable for your words or actions.
COCK CUNT ASS FUCK SUCK LICK DAVE NIPPLE TITTIES BOOBS BEER CLIT ASS ASS ASS ASS ASS
No... I think my speech is pretty free right now. Suck a cock. The lameness filter can suck a fucking cock too. I know it's like I'm yelling, assfuck. I AM yelling.
You use the public park analogy, so let's run with it.
Let's say some dude is running naked around the park with a Ron Jeremy-level erection going on, hitting random women in the back with his gigantic wang. Would you politely ask this obvious moron to put his pants back on, or would you find a cop and have him deal with it? The FCC makes policy based on public input. If everyone stood up tomorrow and said "I WANT BOOBIES ON TV!", then the FCC would probably allow boobs on TV. To return to the park analogy, there are probably a lot of people that think it's funny the naked guy is going around playing baseball with his wedding tackle and some random person's leg, but the MAJORITY probably wouldn't appreciate it very much. Even if they did, it's only the VOCAL majority that gets any attention. One annoying self-righteous bastard/bitch (you chosse) can fuck up the fun for everyone.
The point is, don't sit on your ass and complain without actually DOING ANYTHING about it. If you want to defend my... I mean... SOMEONES right to play 'pin the wang on that chicks back' in public, write the FCC. Call them. Call your congresspeople, fax them, email them, send incriminating photos of them, whatever. Just don't sit around and complain and expect things to get better.
You just don't fucking get it, do you? You have absolutely no fucking clue how rights actually work, no clue about the spirit of the Bill of Rights, and basically no fucking idea about the principles this country is founded on, do you?
What am I saying... of course you don't. You just need an excuse to whine like a fucking pussy anytime you don't get your way. Boo-fucking-hoo.

Realised is a British thing, I think. Along with cheque and aluminium.
There are absolutely no guarantees when it comes to being in a band. Some bands make all of their money off of tours, other make money off of CD sales. It all depends on their contracts.
So if they'd said "Oh, it's to deter regular crime. None of that terrorism stuff." it would be okay? Your argument is nonsensical.
It works both ways. Video games are pretty much the most incestuous industry ever. There are so many sub-subcontractors, it's very possible that the developers will force the REAL developers to put DRM in a game before they send it to the publisher.

Oh god no! Retired cops and college students with grainy, low-resolution video captured images printed out on an inkjet! RUN!
You're asking a really fucking stupid question and I can only hope you're not being serious...

Hicks also overpaid for the Dallas Stars. Bush had money before he bought into the Rangers. What's your point, exactly?
Yeah, because just firing Stern would be too easy and make sense.
