Yeah, if you cant stand in front of a conference type event that you evidently called for, and have the press print you as a source, I think thats seriously pathetic.
I recently read that there are specific laws that require certain FCC officials to remain anonymous when talking to the press to avoid conflict of interest issues.
Striker: My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow, we're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 18:00 hours. We're coming in from the North, below their radar.

If you happen to have a printer that was made prior to the OS release, particularly Postscript printers, yes there's a good chance the printer will "just work". That is true on either OS.
My Samsung ML-1210, on the other hand, works fine from Windows as a USB or networked printer, but only works as a USB printer on my Mac. In both cases, I had to use the driver CD.

How is this different from Windows? Not since around 1995 have you actually had to think about mouse drivers on Windows. The same hardware that "just works" on Mac also "just works" on Windows these days. Conversely, when you install most printers, a TV input device, a USB infrared remote control, you name it, you have to install drivers on either platform. Neither OS just "knows" what to do with these. Please.
Google, the company known primarily for its internet search engine, has announced today that it has acquired a dodgeball. Eric Schmidt, the CEO of the pioneering internet company, made the purchase at a silicon valley sporting goods superstore, Sports Authority, for the sum of $12.95.
"This acquisition will become a cornerstone of our future growth plans," said Schmidt. "In the coming weeks, this dodgeball will be hurled at tremendous speed within the executive offices. It is likely to knock phones, pen holders, and even some of those magnetic paper-clip boxes off of the desks of many employees. This should stir things up, and get our best people thinking either outside of the box, or about looking for another job. The combined one-two punch of increased thinking and lower payroll costs will propel Google forwards into the next century."
Sally Jones, an employee at Sports Authority, said that the transaction went smoothly. "Initially, when we met with Schmidt, we were concerned the acquisition would be a hostile takeover. However, he assured us that his plans for the dodgeball were based on growth and solid corporate fundamentals. The fact that his credit card was not declined was also assuring." Sally says that she recommended the purchase of an air pump to help inflate it, but that Schmidt declined, stating that the company's "[value] is already inflated."
The acquisition comes on the heels of rumours that Microsoft has plans to acquire a badminton set. A Microsoft spokesman was not available for comment.
In that case you'd better stop using those other high-level languages which are written in C++!
For an interesting self-hosted implementation of a Java virtual machine, check out the Jikes RVM. Apart from a bit of assembly glue, the JVM itself is written in Java.
Oddly, in the license for DevStudio, MS specifically requires that "all code developed, compiled, linked, or otherwise processed by the SOFTWARE must be used in the production of a PRODUCT similar in functionality to MICROSOFT BOB."
And Ronald "supply-side economics" Reagan is our party leader, comrade.
An $X billion dollar investment in a free, public Y would repay itself by stimulating all sorts of economic growth in a very short period of time. See that's all the economic knowledge it takes to be a central planner. I hear the Communist Party is looking for some! Congratulations.
This is almost as bad as most "real" science fiction.
Seriously, besides the indulgence of "soooo sexy" and misuse of apostrophes and such, it opens in the same abrupt and disconnected way that many sci fi novels do.

You misspelled "pirated".

By the way I'm a Mac and Linux guy.
Yeah, I read "goatp.ex" the first time too. :)
Your assertion isn't backed up by your evidence. Here:
halo2 map = data
halo2 executable = code
data != code
It's much more likely that there's an early version of Halo 2 built for the 360 which (unsuprisingly) works with Halo 2 maps.

Stragely enough, Sun is introducing their own alternative as well.
It's called JSCRX.
Catchy, eh?
