wrong. people don't care what the threat to MS is. Linux is obviously a better made OS yet it doesn't have the support that Windows does... Look at OS/2. It was an incredibly robust OS, ran Windows 3.1 apps, and it had a wide range of freeware software available to it (including the somewhat easy porting of UN*X apps), yet b/c MS has dominance in the applications market (and in the ad market) it failed and failed miserably.
Linux won't "fail" b/c it has been chugging happily along the whole time, but any anti-Linux campaign that MS does will not bring Linux ahead of MS.
I can only say for computer reading (not PDA books) that it is very difficult to sit there for hours on end and read the text on the screen. The text starts to blur (and from the little that I read on this site) I found it very difficult to read (there wasn't really any space between the lines and it just made it all jumble together).
It is a wonderful idea, and I appauled the creator, but for now I will stick to Amazon and the library.
it would be like users in China using proxies to get around their firewalls there. Yahoo said it isn't 100% possible but they are going to *try*. There is almost always a way around things. You just have to attempt to keep the majority out.
long cord.. why even bother? I don't want a cord, he talked to the wrong people. I want to sit where ever I am and be free (and not have people tripping over the damn wire, or the dog pulling it out in the middle of a 1 hour GT2 endurance race).
the box is meant to bring about feelings of the loudest stereo you ever could imagine? It looks like the N64 or any other console ever made. It makes me think of a console, not a stereo.
the DVD is a moot point, I don't care what medium they use it is of no consequence to me... The damn games better load fast. I would rather a cartridge (no scratches).
the Intel processor is great but it is going to cause everyone to say things like "let's hack it" "how many is Saadam going to buy" and "what about
a beowulf cluster of these". I want something original!
I will stick to my CPU. I can do more and play more than any console. I really think that gaming is best on the desktop but then again, I like my dual heads and my keyboard and my multitasking... That is just me.
the current setup of timers and pads that detect cars waiting for the lights are better. Neural Nets would most likely not take into account holidays and other problems.
sorry, your point is overexaggerated and worthless. Drug smugglers and dealers and lords, murderers, rapists, and kidnappers do much more damage to society than fraudulant idiots...
no you don't. We have enough problems w/people being jailed for stupid fucking crimes (possession of marijuana, fraud, money laundering). We need to put people away for murder, rape, major drug production and moving. We can't find kidnappers, rapists, and murders, but we can track down two idiots who sent out 50 million emails and had 12k idiots fall for their ploy...
Fill the prisons with REAL criminals not stupid idiots. They should be put on house arrest and served SPAM, not taking up space in the already overcrowded system..
very very wrong. Move to a Eurpoean country and have a lot of taxes goto healthcare. Sorry, I would rather not have to pay 50% of my wages to pay for someone else's care.
The United States (although somewhat corrupt at times) is the only place that I can actually say is stable, inexpensive, and mostly free.
I complain about the government and the assholes who tend to be in office, but for the most part it really hasn't affected me all that much yet. I would rather live here than Kosovo or Russia, etc. At least here I don't have to worry about political struggles that will completely change my way of life or even kill me.
To address your point of biases... Most people are going to tell you to live where they do b/c that is where they are comfortable living...
exactly the problem. the developers should collaberate and work together and not try to make a competeing project. Why make two programs that do exactly the same thing?
LinuxPPC has been around for a long time. There are already many apps ready to go. It is like any other architecture, yaeh you have to recompile them for that arch but the Linux programs will normally work.
It isn't going to take away anymore MacOS people as we take away Windows users...
what made you decide to want to do LinuxPPC development and do you think that the Macintosh hardware platform is going to remain a major player in years to come?
.11.0pre's haven't worked on my system at all. They core dump everytime (RPM or ones built by me) I still use the latest stable release and it works extremely well. I prefer it to AOL's client on Windows:)
I think that a lot of people ARE paranoid, but are too lazy to do something like this to take care of it... Most people figure that normal routes taking to secure information is enough... I honestly don't care enough about anything to want to go through all that trouble. Then again, I am terribly lazy.
everyone is patenting everything. It really doesn't matter (as has been pointed out everytime something like this happens) a quick appeal and it will be wiped out.
no, the patent people do not know what they are doing, and no, no one cares. just let it go.
as for EBay being stupid, that is another story..:)
it is all a matter of opinion. I personally never liked the books, nor would I have any interest in seeing the movie.
as far having all the books in the top 10 written in the past century, that is just ridiculous. Take for example some Greek/Roman epic's. I am sorry, but those outweigh the feats of Harry Potter. But I guess it all depends on how much money they bring in, afterall, money drives the world...
didn't he say that the Linux platform was disappointing? Doesn't it worry everyone that Q3 didn't even do well in the stores, or is this going to be a Windows game w/Linux binaries on the net? I don't mind doing it that way myself you can then run the game on both platforms...
I really like the fact that they are supporting alternative OS's, but are we supporting the developers enough for them to want to continue the development for us?
it sounds like you work for a firm that doesn't seem to care much for its employees... I understand that job security is important to everyone, but why would you want to even be put into a situation like this. "take it or be fired." option #3 sounds great. get the fax machine running, gonna be doing a resume send...
yep, I understand completey that it was a joke. Like I said, I am not here to read crap. I am here to read worthwhile, news-worthy stuff. This was NOT newsworthy.

Mr. Fusion :) Just need to get a robot to run on Free Beer. :)
I don't want a cord at all, read the post next time.

if it did work, Saadam would buy all the damn things up ;-)

I'll tell you why, it's b/c Elizabeth Shue is really HOT. All her work on cold fusion in The Saint is finally paying off ;-)
