I completely disagree that Mozilla is any good. Granted, I am not into downloading the nightly builds, but I have tried out the milestone versions. They constantly crash (even more so than Netscape), they don't work the way I believe a "milestone" browswer should, and did I mention that they crash?
I have an adequate system to handle Mozilla, I don't like Netscape, but there isn't really another choice on the non-Windows/Mac platform.
I am not against IE for being made by Microsoft, I am against it b/c it is only made for Windows/Mac. We need a decent browser in the UN*X world, I just hope it ends up not being IE;)
it is a game machine, not a DVD player, stop hyping it as such, that is all I am saying.
I personally believe that it is a known fact that up-in-coming systems are far superior to the power that the PS2 has. Sony is trying to make a point of hyping everything EXCEPT what the damn thing is supposed to do in an attempt to attract as much market as possible before people wait.
Yes, that is how it should work, but I just find it to be a ridiculous scheme.
sorry, I am a college student. I have a computer, and a DVD player, I don't need a PlayStation to be a DVD player. I need a PS2 to be a PS2. They shouldn't be hyping it as a DVD player is all I am saying.
seems like everything is heading for high level... That just doesn't even seem like ASM. I mean, isn't that what we want? Ease of coding, fast execution, and small executable size?
will the SDK cause the executable to be slower/larger b/c of overhead? They really didn't go into that kinda stuff in the article.
there are certainly some sweet cases out there. I am quite happy w/my standard tower. I am personally not a fan of crazy ass non-standard cases, they look cool, but for practical purposes are they that good? I have so many freaking cards in my computer they wouldn't fit in other cases... The two cpus would get too hot:(
"No one blinks an eye when someone uses a Lazyboy to watch tv. They all seem to get up in arms when one uses it to sit in for a Quake match... "
I used to play Quake matches on my bed w/my laptop. Nothing, and I do mean nothing, is more comfortable than my bed w/a nice down comforter and my fat ass feather pillow:)
yeah, I have a wooden folding chair w/a lattice seat. It is terribly uncomfortable. I have bad posture in it and it makes my back hurt a lot. Thing is, I want to get out of the god damn thing so bad that it makes me actually work harder...
My biggest problem isn't the damn chair, it is the fucking stack of Coke cans surrounding my monitors and keyboard:)
in addition to the fact that I already waste enough time in front of the monitor, do I really want to be so comfy that I fall asleep coding my latest CS assignment?:)

actually, in all reality I don't believe that most suspensions mean dick anyway. I have been suspended from school before (just once) and it wasn't for something retarded like fighting or whatever, yet I am still at a state university...
things have changed, it is an experience in life, it isn't going to affect the rest of your academic career.
everyone seems to think that schools give a fuck about what you did in high school, etc. nah, they want your fucking money (well, except for the REAL schools, but even then eheh).
I like to see support of projects like this, but for some reason this online sales place reminds me a lot of www.thelinuxstore.com which always frightened me. They said that they were saving you money by installing Linux for you, but like the prices were a little steep. I haven't been checking on the prices of machines as of late but they do seem a bit expensive for what you get.. What do I know though? Are there no other buisnesses that will sell rackmounts w/o an OS?
yeah but more and more we are seeing less experienced computer users attempting to make a move to Linux. Granted, this is a result of mass media hyping Linux, but I guess it is a good thing to see. At least people are starting to get interested in their computers again. If I hadn't started w/computers when I did I probably would have no desire to tinker w/them the way I do. Windows wants to hide all the workings from the user (for good reason) but that takes all the fun away from things. It just becomes an overgrown PlayStation... I believe that giving more and easier access to Linux is a good thing for Linux and may cause more people to become involved at a later time... Who knows, the next great evolution could come from one of these "WalMart Wankers":)
why wouldn't it be? RedHat is in "major" chains around the US. Why would it be bad to have another major distro that is apparently even easier to install/use too? This is coming from a Linux user's prospective:)
Now, from an IRC helper prospective...
Not a good thing. We already have enough idiots coming in there babbling about their "PCI modem that works fine in Windows" not working in Linux, or the fact that they can't do this or that. This isn't like Windows! Yeah no shit...
I am glad to see things making a move towards more public acceptance I just hope that people realize that it is NOT windows, it will NEVER be Windows, and most of us don't want it to be...
at some point in time people will have an understanding of Linux as they do of Windows (except the fact that it is MUCH less expensive:)) But until that point in time we are going to have to deal as a community w/newbies (we were all newbies once), I just wish their questions weren't as weird as they are becomming:)
I was talking w/friends recently about how both candidates are open w/their drug/alcohol use of the past (or possibly present).
It seems that we will be hardpressed to find a leader in the future that has not done some sort of hardcore partying. Is this a bad thing? Most certainly not. Considering the numerous people that do smoke/drink in this country I see it as better than them not having experienced the life we all did (or lying about it).
The thing that bothers me though is this: why the fuck are they lying about their past (I didn't inhale, etc). Just come out in the open and admit it. It isn't as big of a deal as it used to be, and *I* *personally* would rather have an honest, open candidate than some bigger bullshit artist..
What do I know though? I am looking at the world from a drug-ridden brain. I see things on a differnt plane:)
of course not. why would they? they have to nit pick at all the intricate points of things and say that this guy is a jackass for what he did.
my point is this... Guiness actually does suck. He doesn't like them. He can do what he wants w/the domains that he registers whether or not Guiness likes it or not has nothing to do w/anything. Honestly... no company should have the right to even ATTEMPT to have this guy's domains removed. Tough shit if it has Guiness in the name...
The arguements that it would piss me off if I had a world-wide company that was being defaced is wrong. People always come up w/this arguement and need to get a clue. The Internet has been laden w/this sort of crap for a long time (web searches for everything that somehow return porn no matter what due to the entire dictionary in the "description" header).
Get over it people, this shit is here to stay. I personally think that Guiness should have its rights removed for trying to sue over this.
Guiness, the only thing you are good for is "Irish Car Bombs" and they are only good when completely wasted:)
I really, honestly feel bad for this kid. He wasn't doing anything anyone else wouldn't have done (well, he did poke around a bit more than I would have, but still..) and he *apparently* wasn't malicious in his poking... They are going to either keep that damn machine and shit for the next 5 years and mysteriously misplace it, or they are going to just keep it forever outright... That sucks.
I don't feel bad for him b/c of what everyone else is saying.. He fucked around in a crime scene and they came to question him about it.. This isn't Jessica Fletcher's Murder She Wrote.. He is going to lose this shit he was poking around w/even though he found out what someone else did. Tough shit for him.
No, I am NOT scared. I don't go poking my nose around a crime scene on the street wondering where the bullet entered/exited. You shouldn't have either.
the N64 and the Dreamcast are unfortunatly dead in the water. IMHO PS and PS2 games are FAR superior to those of the Dreamcast and N64. I have nothing to say about the upcoming release of the new Nintendo system (as I haven't looked into it yet).
Certainly each has its advantages (fast load times for the N64, Dreamcast has better graphics than the PS) but the fact still remains that the PS/PS2 games crush the competitors hands down.
I guess it could have something to do w/the fact that I am just NOT able to learn that fucking joystick that comes w/the N64, I am much more adept w/the playstation controller (thank god they decided to keep it for the PS2). The Dreamcast controller is also bulky and confusing for my stoned out/drunken brain (which is usually the best time to be using a console machine in college heeh).
idiots taking advantage of other idiots is a fact of life. Don't type the damn URL wrong, and make sure you have the correct URL before you hop on over there and you save yourself a lot of problems.
http://www.google.com will probably find what you are looking for if you are really concerned w/not hitting a page full of ads and whatnot.
freedom of speech is a great thing. you are free to do whatever you like on the Internet (pretty much). If the WIPO has a problem, tough cookies. I will give them some milk to ease them down.
if I were going to purchase a gaming console that is what I would want. I have no desire for an MP3 player, a DVD player, USB, etc. I want to play my games and be done w/it. The only real feature that I could possibly want is some sort of Internet access to play online games.. w/the PS2 it seems like you are going to have to go through Sony. No thanks. I want to use standard ISP's and do it like it has always been done.
I was interested in buying a PS2, I really was, but then I took a look at the $300 pricetag and thought again. Why the hell would I need to pay $300 + $50+ for each game when all the god damn machine is is a glorified DVD player. It seems to me that they could have kept the costs down by not integrating all these unnecessary parts and actually finding out what is wanted out there.
I already have a DVD player, it was $120 at Walmart. I already have a computer (as most people do) why would I want computer like stuff (again, other than Inet access) on there?, I already have a drinking problem, why would I waste $300 on non-beer?

I already complained about this before:
I already have a $120 DVD player. I have a $1250 computer that has tons more power than the PS2, and mine will do more than play games..
I like consoles and all, but for all the hype why bother? I see everyone's point that a DVD player is wonderful, but why make it out to be such a big asset? It is a god damn game machine, not a DVD player, don't hype it to be what it isn't.

I wonder if he veto'd this for the sole purpose of hyping the party.. He is going to say "blah blah, this is b/c the democratic party is so great".
who knows, just a thought..
