No, you don't get it do you, man?!? ANY TIME money changes hands between two people, someone is being bought off. Like how you have to buy off those people at McDonald's to give you a hamburger. ITZ A11 AB0uT TEH m000000000n3y!"!!!!!1112
Or something like that. I've given up responding to morons like the grandparent.
Bullshit. Don't even try to bring up that fucking retarded "So nine women should make a baby in a month!" argument. There are NO absolutes, EVER. You can not say with complete certainty that hiring more people won't make the job go faster. If that were true, we'd still be stuck in the days of one guy being responsible for an entire game. After all, more people won't make things go faster, will it?
Suppose you sucked off a donkey. It would still be funny. As for me, I don't have a brother and I'm not going to jail. So I'll continue to laugh at people that get their assholes reamed out because their child-molesting ass got tossed into Federal Pound-me-in-the-ass Prison for fucking kids.
Don't you understand? The companies OWE the gamers games whenever they say they'll come out. I mean... we PAY FOR THEM, right?
I for one am sick of the dipshits that are saying Doom 3 and HL2 are 'vaporware'. Because, as we all know, the definition of vaporware is a game that exists in playable form.... right? Oh, no, wait, vaporware is software that NEVER reaches a playable level. Okay, but what about the release dates? Uhm.... id doesn't have one for Doom 3 except "Maybe later this summer. No promises.", and Valve missing ONE target date is hardly cause for concern.
I think I just need to pay less attention to gamers.
If HL2's security depends on obscurity, then it's not secure at all. Changing the way it works won't solve that unless they started with an inherently insecure network system, and are replacing it with an inherently secure one, such as one that requires a lot of server side processing.
This is fucking stupid, and quite frankly is just a mantra for people that don't know a fucking thing about security to use to make it look like they know something. *ALL* secure systems depend on a level of obscurity. Ever heard of a private key? You can't go spoogeing every bit of information you have on the general public's face and expect them to not do anything with it. The worries here aren't about people taking down servers, the worries are about people cheating. If the code is out there before the game even releases, you'll have all manner of wallhacks and aimbots before the game goes gold.
BTW, there is no such thing as 'inherently secure' as long as your computer is connected to a network. You take that attitude, you get fucked hard by some 12 year old with a subseven.
OMG!!11 IT'S TEH A-LEE-N L@NDING STRIP!!!~~!` RUN!12
If I had to guess, I'd say those are cameras. We have something similar on a few roads here in Texas. They're used to monitor traffic levels, watch for accidents, and speed up the trucks that go out and assist people in stalled vehicles.
BWAHAHHAHAAHA! Excellent point. Far too many people don't realize that freedom is a double edged sword. Most people don't REALLY want freedom, they just want everyone to do what THEY want to do.
Fortunately, it also has people like you, who make it truly entertaining.
*sniff* I feel loved. *cries*
They are also intelligent, technologically oriented, and despite what you seem to think, many of them have social lives.
For some reason, I thought of the Futurama episode with the Star Trek crew when I read this.
"Look at Walter Koenig. After Star Trek, he became an actor."
"Not just an actor, but a well rounded person. With my own friends, and credit cards, and keys..."
BTW, I wasn't entirely serious in the first place. It's safe to assume anyone that mentions another person getting sexually excited by a kernel compile probably isn't looking to make a valid point.;)
Mod it flamebait all you want. You know it's true. This is the same group of people that lines up to give each other handjobs when MS releases a bug patch, since it proves that MS is teh eevil, then will turn around and spooge on each others lower back in congratulatory fashion when a kernel exploit patch is released because it shows how great OSS is.
In short, yes the lives of most people here are in fact bitter and empty.
So what, are you trying to say that it's impossible to write spyware that works on Linux? Bullshit. All it requires is... uh... WRITING IT, then getting the user to run it. As the Linux market share increases, so does the probability of this occuring.
See, the problem is that those of us who get our asses out from in front of the computer on a daily basis and generally have better things to do than use an OS as a masturbation aid don't care enough to wait through a shutdown and reboot just to launch a fucking web browser.
Seriously, grow a brain.
But I have to give you credit for posting such inane shite while logged in. It's nice to know someone else here has the balls to do so.
Ah, yes. Because we have all kinds of time to keep up with Windows updates. In fact, I find myself scanning windowsupdate.com, forlornly pining for new patches, because my life is so bitter and empty, and downloading patches is the only bright spot in my dreary existance.
Please, cut the crap. You're in the midst of people that get sexually excited over the thought of compiling a kernel. I doubt very many people here have ANYTHING going on in their social life that precludes them from updating their fucking computer.
I've reinstalled Linux-based systems many times over the past two years due to stupid programs. Believe it or not, some of us use our computer for more than a masturbatory device.
"The fact that they spout "anti-whatever propaganda" should have absolutely nothing to do with anything."
It has quite a lot to do with it. A person who is known to be an activist and has proposed ways of destroying GM crops is found with a dead wife and a basement full of lab cultures? Any combination of two isn't cause for alarm. But mix them all together and you have a problem.
You are fucking stupid. Do you know a goddamned thing about how grand juries work?
Wait, obviously not. Stupid question.
What's the basis for the subpoena? Umm... maybe the GRAND FUCKING JURY. Grand juries are convened in order to go over the evidence in a case and determine whether charges can be brought. It is not a trial, there is no jury of peers, there are no charges unless the grand jury decides to proceed with them. Sometimes, witnesses are subpoenaed to testify. This is merely more evidence gathering. This is also called THE JUSTICE SYSTEM AS IT HAS WORKED FOR A COUPLE OF HUNDRED YEARS NOW.
Seriously, pick up a fucking book. You're either in college or old enough to be in college. If you have such an interest in how this country works, you should at least know a BASIC FUCKING THING ABOUT IT. You'll whinge on all fucking day about how shitty this is, and why are they tossing out subpoenaes... do you even know what a fucking subpoenae is, what it does, or why they're used?
Oh shit yes. It's so horrible that someone would assemble evidence and submit it to a grand jury. I mean, that's not something that happened before the patriot act was signed. Police doing their jobs, district attorneys deciding whether or not to charge someone, Federal prosecutors stepping in at certain points... what a horrible blow to the justice system that was.
Well, if you were trying to build a small nuclear reactor to power your home while spouting anti-whatever propaganda and someone ended up dead in your house under questionable circumstances... yeah, you'd probably be up on some heavy charges.
Is this something that happens across the board with the driver/FreeBSD version combination you were using, or was it only your machine?
If I had to guess I'd say nvidia only supports 'stable' versions and not test versions with their drivers. I wouldn't expect a bugfix for something in Fedora Core 3 RC1, but I would expect one for the FC2 stable release (although the term stable is applied loosely in that case). Problems creep up that are specific to a bug in a test version that may be fixed by the time the stable version is released. I can't really see where anyone is actually at fault in your case, more like it was just bad timing on everyone's part.

I think he's talking more about the people that seem to think the more unpronounceable their project name, the longer their cock is.

*NIX is lame.
Lame, lame, lame, lame, lame. Lame as the concept of spam.
The REAL real question is... "Does it run BeOS?"
"The fact that they spout "anti-whatever propaganda" should have absolutely nothing to do with anything."

I always keep my genetically engineered anthrax around for duck hunting.
Yeah, I'm sure that the people that run some geek-ass website are raking in the cash. Gimme a fucking break.
Yeah, just like how vi and Emacs are more widely used than that evil piece of software, Notepad.
Oh, wait... nevermind.
Your first couple of posts made it sound like you were using a release candidate and not an official release.
Is this something that happens across the board with the driver/FreeBSD version combination you were using, or was it only your machine?
