don't hear them complaining about the ratings... they just cut the film to get in under the particular age rating they're going for... even going as far as shooting different scenes several times with different states of dress for different markets... so if they can cope with the ratings, why should games be any different???
next to useless... nice idea, but they appear to block accounts very fast... I tried 15 different bugmenot accounts and made sure everyone that failed was reported to bugmenot as dud. The sixteenth worked, but cos they'd used a fake email address, they'd never finalised the validation process.
SO guys, if you're gonna create a bugmenot account for imdb, fer hecks sake use an email account with one of those throwaway jobs so the process can be finished.

Vim 6.4 Released

In my day job as a senior programmer I introduce new staff to nedit. I also tell them to make their own choices about the tools they use.
Bzzzttt!! wrong... you should start them out on Edlin... (surprisingly it's available in XP of all things) they'll happily take anything you give them after that...
Case in point: i couldnt even EXIT that damn vi before reading 5 minutes into the damn man file without kill-9ing the PID, but luckily a "Kedit" in the corresponding cathegory was available, completely usable
try using Kedit next time your X doesn't want to play...
what I like about Linux is that it advances as fast as the developers of the various projects can do it... whereas, MS Windows appears to advance only as fast as necessary to allow Microsoft to milk a market dry before releasing the next improved version... imagine a world in which ms windows hadn't become dominant... we'd probably all have personal pocket devices with perfect voice and handwriting recognition by now. MS effectively killed off handwriting recognition when they killed off Go by pre-announcing Pen-Windows... MS effectively killed the voice-recognition market when they suckered L&H into a technology swap... MS got L&H's crown jewels into Office and L&H lost their primary market (going bust shortly after)... Note that the voice recognition tech has remained frozen in it's state ever since... and the vast majority of MS-Office users don't even know they've got it built in at all...
Linux... it works, it advances as fast as we can do it... and for games... there's always a dedicated console...
ps. I've just done a very painless upgrade from hoary to breezy and I was able to use the machine for normal purposes the entire time through... (except for the reboot), try that with a windows box upgrading while still being able to browse the web, watch DVDs, listen to music and read email etc.
If they have any qualms, then they shouldn't be writing it... it is the fundamental freedom of OSS software in that the usage of it cannot be restricted in anyway... Freedom 0... Freedom to use it in any field of adventure... you could even use it as part of a baby mulching machine... just as long as you comply with the terms of the license
Now for a usability question, can it play mp3's out of the box? Does it include all the movieplayer codecs? If not because they are patent encumbered or restricted give me a frigging button to press that will install support for these. Hell it would take fifteen minutes max to build a gdialog installer with python to do this crap for me.
OK Mr. arrogant... if you reckon that it will only take 15 minutes to build a gdialog installer, then why the fsck haven't
it doesn't infest your machine like MSN can... my daughter's friends machines are constantly being infected with worms travelling via the IM interface... her machine remains infection free... and she loves that because her machine is the one that's guaranteed to actually be up.
this is Microsoft's wet dream... get OSS out of the way by ensuring only a select cadre of large companies can afford the premiums required to cover any losses incurred from bugs in their software.
Uncle John bought a new digital camera, go ahead Bob figure this one out.
I plugged mine in using the supplied USB cable and it came up on the desktop as a usb drive...
Aunty Jane bought a new 19' flat monitor.
and yet again... I plugged mine in and it worked fine at the existing resolution my old 15"TFT was using of 1280x1024... strangely enough, the same max resolution of my shiny new 19" TFT... the difference is screen size is fantastic... but who really wants to go any higher in resolution.
If you are really paranoid, you can test each coin for conductivity in several places using a simple home-built device {a store-bought AVO may have been rigged}
I've got this box on my bedside table at home, it's some 25 years old, it has a radio receiver, and twin cassette decks... I could/can record anything I want off the radio and make copies of them... what is the fscking problem with these guys??? the satellite radio is no greater in fidelity than an ordinary FM receiver... it's potentially less in fidelity as far as I can recall... and the MP3s you can record off it are unlikely to match the fidelity of my cassette recordings either...
don't go out of your way to purchase their product to burn it then... photocopy the CDs/DVDs and burn the photocopies... make a big song and dance of it and get the media involved... explain to them exactly why you are burning photocopies of CDs/DVDs...
Distributing (even for free) tools (whether physical devices or software) that allow circumventing copy protection mechanisms will be illegal. (this includes DVD rippers, tools that allow copying copy-protected CDs, etc)
[...]
Possession of tools that allow circumventing copy protection mechanisms will be illegal. Even for personal use.
there goes Linux... a wet dream for Microsoft... getting Linux outlawed...
So, basically -- buy a portable MP3 player and a copy-protected CD. And you can't copy the music from the CD to your MP3 player legally any more, as you'd break law if you circumvent the copy protection mechanism found on CD.
and there goes the entire point of owning a personal MP3 player... now the users will have to purchase any music specifically for that player, even if they already have it on CD...
they'll just get one person to put it in one bag, then someone else to put it into another bag, then a third person to actually load this package into the real luggage... and a completely clean person to do the carrying. Then there'll be no traces on the outside of the actual luggage
