And imagine all the free time your employees will have when the no longer have to use computers because you moved to a platform that runs none of your applications.
Move off Windows is not always the answer, in fact, rarely is it the answer. It's just a stupid statement.
NT was their death, they sold standard Intel based systems at their superawsome Unix workstation prices. Supercomputing made sense for the company as their really high end installations came close to being that anyway.
As for not having done anything in years? The fact that Linux can run on huge Altix machines and clusters is directly a result of SGI doing the work. Same with Linux running on MIPS and XFS on Linux which they still submit patches for. They might not be the 'OMG SGI' they were once but they haven't been doing nothing.
Why yes, I do like my little O2 here, and I do like using Irix. If only I could get my hands on the latest version.
Yes they are. A lot of the kernel contributions are now done by people paid to do so. Neither they nor their employer have any interest to fix device drivers that they either don't use, or are in competition with them.
The lone kernel programmer working and contributing code out of their own good will or some moral conviction are becoming the minority. A lot, maybe even most, are contributing to the kernel because they are paid to, and only contribute what they are paid to.
RMT has many negative effects, but the assertation that you have to buy gil to progress is just flat out wrong. Anyone who believes it is just looking for an excuse for their cheating.
SE doesn't make big announcements when they ban people to placate the masses like WoW does so you never know how many people have been banned over the course of the game. That announcement was made because things had gotten so out of hand so quickly this past christmas that they had to let their players know they did something about it. However, christmas price increases are not strange.
19 percent of those aged 18 to 24 named the Internet as their most important source of news In related news, a new study points to at least 19 percent of those aged 18 to 24 are idiots.
It's been a long time since any news source wanted to inform you.
Well I still laugh at Google 'product' announcements. Announce something everyones been doing for years but because Google did it, lets pretend that its brand new and made of gold.
with insufficent explanation for major story arcs. Advent Children was a sequel made for Squares fans. To provide an explanation as to what's going on would require a whole other movie, or perhaps a RPG from Square.
BTW, did you just call a movie about superheros/villains 'believable?'
Egyptions did own slaves, so there was a concept of workers being property. As for their treatments at the build site, they were alloted good amounts of food and beer, given days off to attend weddings, birthdays, and when they had a hangover from drinking too much of the aforementioned beer. They weren't slaves and they weren't treated as such.
A huge building project to the Pharaoh was the perfect way to keep the plebs from revolting during the off-season while they waited for the Nile to flood again.
I was in a "gifted" program in school, and I grew up to be normal like everyone else, but I still had way more fun doing neat stuff, instead of sitting in class being bored out of my mind with crap I already knew frontwards and backwards
You also cost taxpayers more with no return on their investment. Ya it sounds nice that you got to go play, but school systems have a budget. Since 'gifted' children were going to turn out just like every one else there is nothing to justify spending more on them.
Saying there are 10(base2) types of people in the world those that x and those that don't isn't counting. I'm saying, and mean there are TWO types of people, not 3 because I started counting, but 2(base10) because I am stating an absolute value. Try and buy tires for your car by asking for 3. You asked for the right number of tires right? You want tires 0, 1, 2 and 3. Have fun driving out though.
On top of that you do not always start counting at 0. Think back to number systems in elementary math. The whole number system starts at 1.

Interesting you say you don't expect a sequel then say you only ever bought the one that had an actual sequel.

OMG NOZ! SOmeone mades a mistakes on thems internet.
Yes.
And possibly illegal.
Thank you Mr.Shatner. You're right though, no one reads in you're voice.

News for Nerds. So I'm going to have to go with "Yes, it did."

So nothings going to change.

No, first was 'Imminent death of the 'net predicted.'

They do work when they're done like that. That's just funny, and Michael Dell should be happy his last name isn't Mitt or something.
several music executives privately acknowledge that they have little leverage over Mr Jobs
Perhaps someone should download the Imperial March from iTunes in honour of this.

Most of the replies here are trying to work out some conspiracy theory or Grand Unified Theory of Marketing to answer why it's so popular.
Anyone stopped to think that maybe Kingdom Hearts was just a lot of fun to play?
You should have attended your english classes
Why? He was talking about French.
WII!

How depressing ...
They can fix that now.
That sounds kinda kinky.
