Doom let us know PC computers could be serious entertainment and be fun in the home.
so where the F where you when Prince of Persia came out for the PC then??? or Harpoon, or the original Sim City, or Railroad Tycoon, or Flight Sim 3 (yes, I was running them on an old 8086 at 16 MHz with 640K of RAM and a 32Meg hard card... in EGA)
Computer gaiming per se went to hell in the proverbial handbasket after Doom came out and every publisher went FPS mad
Ah yes... the amazing "unlimited" broadband... subject to a nebulous "fair-usage" policy... which really means that it isn't unlimited...
we have a lot of those in the UK... our advertising standards authority should really be climbing all over them for that, but it needs people to complain before it will take them to task for false representation.
they don't retaliate... they just scale back on the "market development funds" (aka kickbacks) they pay the manufacturer...
the effective end result is exactly the same, but they can quite honestly and truthfully claim that they haven't put the price up for that manufacturer.
remember their election slogan back in 97? "Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime"... ha ha... what a joke... the biggest problem is Blair's wife... a "Human Rights" lawyer... bet she "wears the trousers" in number 10...
Ah, nice approach to security there... "Look, we're sorry these murderers, rapists and crack dealers keep moving into the apartment block. You would have been much safer from the multiple shooting if you had added an extra bolt to your door. Tst Tst."
hah... how very topical... we're sorry about all these muggers robbing you of your mp3 players and phones... it's your fault for having them in the first place...

Beginning GIMP

Officially, people DO buy windows... however, lots of people don't, and it suits Microsoft very well (however much they may "protest") for this situation to continue... after all, I'm pretty sure Microsoft would rather have someone running a pirated copy of windows than discovering the joys of Linux...
and I'm pretty sure Adobe enjoy this situation as well, as the ease with which people can get cracked copies of photoshop means fewer people are tempted to use The GIMP or other cheaper alternatives to PS.
new "bacteria powered" pacemakers could get their energy from "food" and oxygen in the blood, just make sure the power "element" is immersed in blood or has been given a blood supply and that there is a means for "food" & oxygen molecules to pass one way and ONLY waste to pass the other way...

GnuCash 2.0.0 Released

· Score: 2, Informative
I am looking forward to GnuCash v2 appearing in the Ubuntu repositories.
unfortunately, it won't go into Dapper... it'll be in Edgy. For Dapper, you'll have to request the backport team for it to be put in Dapper backports or else some kind soul will package it and make it available on an unsupported repository.
that's how I've got the most recent KMyMoney, someone has packaged it and stuck it on their own repository.
simple limits, maximum and minimum weight, maximum and minimum dimensions (ie. simple go-nogo gauges the car has to pass through), crash test requirement for the driver's compartment, and the simplest of all for the engine, a standard venturi intake for the air inlet. Everybody gets issued with a random one from a box before each meeting and they have to use it for the practice sessions and race and then return it afterwards.
ah, so I'll probably have to pay for an upgrade to Textmaker 2006 for Linux when it comes out then... Will there be a beta program first for existing owners to sign up for?
We are already working on ODF export, and it will be featured in a free servicepack later this year.
Thankyou, finally a reason to actually bother to install my Textmaker back onto my Linux box. I got v2002 ages ago and was using it pretty entensively, but when OOo went to v2 and I changed from Suse to Ubuntu I didn't bother to install it back again. I still use the nice fonts though that came on the CD.
However, does this "servicepack" only apply to the Windows version? cos I really want ODF support (both directions) in the Linux version.
I do not think that word means what you think it means... Monopoly... you do not have to have 100% of a market to be in a monopoly position... and anyway, even though Mac OSX and Linux exist and can be purchased in shops, it is the abuse of the monopoly position that matters, the illegal tieing of products to other products, the abuse where they illegally commingled windows media player and Internet explorer into the operating system so that they cannot be removed, their "market development funds" which they use as kickbacks to those OEMs who toe the line and hide their alternative offerings from the general public... the abuse of their massive advertising budget where magazines avoid printing unfavourable articles or reviews for fear of losing Microsoft advertising...

perhaps if you'd RTFA, you wouldn't have made such a stupidly ignorant post...
Still, they should be ashamed of themselves for helping China - England claims to value freedom as well IIRC.
yes, I'm pretty peeved with them as well... a friend of mine went up to Cambridge last year... I shall ask him to raise the issue with the Student Union...
I'd cycle to work... (only 7 miles away) if it wasn't for one thing... I've got a nasty dual carriageway stretch for 3 of those miles (no way round it) and that dual carriageway has two very scary roundabouts to negotiate and nary a sign of a cycle track at all...
but when they finally get the aero recombant marketable... maybe that will change to 20.
scary... do you realise just how hard you are to see when you're on a recumbant cycle??? they are absolutely stupid to ride in traffic... there's one near where I live, and he has all sorts of high viz devices sticking out from it so car drivers can see him... so much extra drag it almost defeats the point of lying down...
take em to court then... if they "kill" your PC in September or whenever by using WGA, then take them to the small claims court and try to get your money back...
I care about my right to property, and I have a moral objection to someone being able to arbitrarily take away my property as a matter of principle.
I do not think the word "property" means what you think it means... it's Microsoft's "property", which they graciously license to you on their terms... you never buy windows, you only buy a license to windows... and they can do whatever the heck they like according to the crappy EULA you clicked through in your hurry to get onto the Intarweb when you unpacked the box...

Gates shed some light on his own hard-nosed business philosophy. "Although about 3 million computers get sold every year in China, but people don't pay for the software," he said. "Someday they will, though. As long as they are going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade."
