My understanding was Clinton acknowledged it because a women employee was pressing sexual abuse charges against another employee. He then was forced to acknowledge its existance.
thats because netscape just plain sucked. it crashed all the time. ie works fine for most people and the general mentality seems to be 'if its not broke, dont fix it'
well i have a problem with microsofts plan. they want everyone to implement their own version of the same console (like a pc), but they forgot that the console is the part no one wants to do. with the current xbox and im sure future xboxes, they will be expensive to make and probably expensive to sell. most people out there will buy the cheapest one (since if they are built to spec they all should be able to play the games). and besides that even the cheapest one will be really expensive compared to game consoles today because it will need to be sold at a profit to make it worthwhile.
i did try freelancer, and although i read it got really good ratings, i simply couldnt get over the fact that you couldnt use a joystick. i dont think i can play a flight sim w/o a joystick
it sounds like the early days on the movie industry where studios would sign actors/personalities and they wouldnt be allowed to go work on things outside the studio's movies.
i remember alot of other people hated those games. i loved them. ive searched for other space sims that play as good as those did and havent been able to find one. also i heard that WC4 took $19 million to make, which was alot back in the day, but they got a really cool movie/game out of it.
I used to think that only computer novices got spyware. But just this past week i got several all at one time. i have no idea how it happened ( i dont even use internet explorer) but it was bad. after i run ad-aware and mcaffee to clean them off, one of them deleted some important files under my system folder, or at least thats what i assume because my tcp/ip wouldnt start. i ended up having to totally reinstall windows. ive since decided im going to try and use windows as little as possible, only when i need to work in photoshop or office (i have the newest versions, ie no crossover office). but beware even advanced windows users can still get these things.
to add onto that take a look the the underdogs a site that hosts abandonware (old out of date) games. you can get classics from your youth there. definitely one of my fav sites
What's the blizzard route, create one or two good games and then spend the rest of eternity rehashing them?
how about coming up with great new ideas, thinking them through, and when they are ready releasing them. Blizzard has a huge devoted fan following because all of their games (minus one or two) have been really good. not only that but people buy their games knowing that they will have a long life span. just the other day Blizzard released an update to Starcraft, a game released in i think 97. i end up always buying their games because they have alot of replay value (battle.net) and arent repetitive (like many FPS)
I agree with the part about Roddenberry. His input into TNG i think made it the great series it was. Nowadays it seems like these Trek shows and movies are all about special effects and 'coolness'. personally my favorite part of TNG was when it touched on philosophy. I guess the summary is: im not expecting much from these new productions
interesting actually searching for warez returns no results....they must be censoring the results when its in their best interest (they sell software).
Do you really need pictures of every mundane moment of your life?
i wasnt planning on wearing something all day, just when i went to a party or hung out with friends. and i relize most pictures would be worthless, so what, you just delete them. no big deal. and the camera doesnt have to be digital if you dont want it to be, you can change the film every few minutes, most people just dont want to do that.
Sounds alot like the Microsoft Wearable camera. anyways i think its a cool idea.
Sometimes i dont feel like taking pictures manually and maybe it will get more 'real life' photos instead of having everyone poised for them.
I guess im the only one here who has ever had a real free food offer. This startup about 6 months ago was offering free food from several locations in my area. but you were only offered one per person. so you had to create a fake account, with fake information, and try and get them to send it to you again. we ended up getting a ton of free food over the week this was happening. but it was only good for that week. if you are wondering what site it was, it was campusfood.com. the only place you can get free food online is when a startup has a ton of vc cash and are stupid enough to give it away in an offer like that.
I suppose the only thing you can really control is the marketing and promotion of online gambling within the US. That's probbably even within the limits of free trade, since advertisements aren't really trade, per se.
i often think that banning something or stopping altogether makes it look somehow exotic. for instance teenage drinking. do teenagers drink soley because they want to get drunk, or is the fact that only adults are allowed to drink, and the fact that teenagers want to look and act like adults, have something to do with it. I dont like gambling at all, but i worry if its banned then things will be pushed 'underground' where since the law is already being broken, people arent afraid to break other laws. people will gamble whether you let them or not
sorry for not being clear. i was speaking of other ported games that have options greyed out. off my head was vibrate for controllers (before pc controllers really had vibrate). halo didnt have anything like that that i recall anyway. but i really did miss co-op:(
well most games ive played on a pc which use gamepads, seem clunky and ill designed. but maybe this will stop bad console to pc ports (HALO) from happening. theres nothing i hate more than seeing options in an options menu which have been greyed out because they were there from the console version.
I remember my dad always complaining about the family business he works for. He says that some of the family members work half of what they should be working and earn twice as much as they should be making. just something to be cautious of.

i saw this book at the library and i started laughing out loud at the title. just thought it might be relevant to the subject.
you should check out media player classic. way better than ms's IMHO

The parent is so true. remember the saying 'Microsoft dominates all markets, but pioneered none'.
actually this sounds alot like another live action anime that came out in 2003. i believe its koren. anyways its called natural city.

anyone else notice google on msn returns google as a 'top pick'? kind of like use this search engine instead please
The Xeons cost twice as much as the Opterons
??? I couldnt find the 4mb intels but the 1mb versions are alot cheaper than the opterons..
did i read your post wrong?
INTEL
AMD
PCI bus to the video card (minimum 9600) for decoding and displaying.
I think the article said you need a minimum aiw 9600 to get pip not just for regular use. However i might have interpreted it wrong.
