I dont even understand that so do you expect the masses to? The wizard isnt perfect but its far from innefective. Ive seen little instances where it failed outside of defective cables. Note : I dont count Windows 98, im talking 2K/ME/XP here. 98 is a mess.
"Experts mostly use minimal installs or even the floppy install."
Is this a joke? Experts still use floppy instead of PXE Boot or CD-Boot? And since when do experts use minimal install? I prefer custom. Your arguments are dubious.
"It is easy and even trivial to use"
I'll tell you what is trivial to use, without being a Windows fanboy. My sister installing her own network including hubs without any need for my help is trivial. BSD is tedious, as is Linux. That doesn't mean they are not good OSes quite the contrary, but please, don't capitalize on something the product is not. That's like saying Windows is modular, and easy to add/remove parts you don't really need.
Isnt SCO formerely Caldera? The ones who developed DR DOS, a good at the time alternative to MS/PC-DOS? Ironic that it's now trying to kill the competition.
In the FAQ it says, no you cannot become a stormtrooper because these guys are just fodder and are boring to play.
Hahahaha! I have news for you SOE, i FEEL like a stormtrooper, not a hero. My character gets beaten 10m away by melee attacks, skills are mostly useless, i can't be a Dark Marauder like in the D20 DND version (Now THAT was cool).
Melee combat is buggy, characters position themselves all wrong, and sometimes i hit stuff without seeing the animations. I pay 20$ CAN per month for a game that crashes with my ATI card if i do not
1) Play without shadows
2) Play at the default graphical options.
This is like the SW universe but without anything that makes it heroic and interesting. No epicness. Boring. At least if your character could develop the Force Slot on himself... You know, i play games because i want to feel greater, more heroic, than myself in reality.
Now, if i compare myself to my char, i don't really think she could take me in hand on hand combat, and i'm not even close to being powerful IRL.
You do know that USB 2.0 and Hi Speed USB is the same thing? But you can't really put that on a marketing stand point, so they put on the box "REALLY UBER FAST USB" instead of "USB V2.0" for mainboards.
"Upon expiration of the rental period, however, the program is no longer readily accessible until ordered again."
This is pay-per-view for Windows Media Player and cie. This is "blatantly obvious" because it talks about customizable SCROLL BARS. Quit bashing the patent case, it's not for what you think. It doesn't englobe EVERYTHING. You'll still be able to enjoy pay per view porn. As long as it doesn't have any scroll bars and any order, LOL have you read that?
Difference is nVidia slapped Futuremark hard, while ATI apologized and removed the (non-cheat btw) optimizations. One is sticking with its ugly story, making threats, bullying, while the other one chose the more virtuous path of just making things right again.
1) Someone gave someone else some $$$ to shut up and even better yet, spin doctor in their direction.
2) I wish they made more application-wise optimizations. But, i wish they didn't make them on BENCHMARKS. I need Warcraft to go faster, not 3DMark03 (Because frankly, getting 4 FPS and lower really is stupid, this prooves 3DMark's obsolescence, it doesn't mean anything in the real world).
I just went to the store today to get myself a replacement for the 8500 i own and sold to one of my friends. Guess what company got my bucks this time. Yep, ATI isn't pure and virtuous, but at least they apologized. Unite! Speak with your wallets!
VB can even make DirectX calls now. What more could they want? I really don't see the issue here, OSS or not, Linux or MS. If it works well, what's the problem?
I have a GXP60. It made the dreaded click of death but...
Magically, once at the CPU store, it worked perfectly. Never failed since. Pixie dust is magic, i think IBM put a little on those HDDs... Mana powered maybe?
This is exactly why i will never use Linux, and so won't the majority of people. I just like to install DirectX 9 then the game and click the desktop icon.
Best thing I've ever done, USE, SWORD, SELF. I never imagined they'd let me do that. Oh the joy I've had laughing for hours at my own stupidity. Ah the good old days.

Lucky bastard, here AIX is embedded in those old 3130 printers.

Sorry, but that's FYI.
Is that a measure of how many 1.44MB blocks it can write in a second? Or the number of bad movies/records it can create?

Isn't BSD dead or something? Just kidding.

In general, i'm disapointed.
Actually Secret of Evermore is as bad as Sony Online Entertainment.

Oh wait...
In soviet russia, ink cartridges refill YOU!
Good enough?
Shut the fuck up you pedantic bastard.
If everyone were as well equiped as Xanathos from Gargoyles, i'd tend to agree. Go super power armors!
And you even got to spell it wrong. No wonder it is.
So what they have a fix for Quebec woot

I am currently installing Linux as we speak... I want some of that cash settlement!
Buying a Sony drive to make burns of discs is like a robber going to the police to get his firearms. Their firmwares are too restrictive.
Also, on a side note, I've always loved the irony of seeing a Playstation play pirated copies using Sony discs LOL
