25C may be enough for germans, but in Spain we usually don't like to go to the beach if it's not warmer, now it's 15C here in Valencia and for me it's pretty cold, we can reach 20C in winter some days, and in the summer it's obviously much hotter, and we are not talking tropical weather even remotely.
I spend much more time looking pr0n at the internet than smoking crack. I fear this may be the case of many slashdotters.
The thing is, doesn't it sound a bit like demagogy? I mean, looking porn is not as bad for oneself as is smoking crack, or is he thinking about the purity of our souls?
anyone has seen those old screens with the burned init screen of an ms-dos app readable even when turn off? don't want a "water-mark" on my eyes, thank you.
For every knowledgeable enthusiast, there are many more misinformed or incorrect speculators whose opinions usually spring from personal preference or a need to hear themselves talk.
at this price, looks like Nintendo is in for some serious competition.
The NDS has double battery life, is significantlly cheaper, and can run games from the gba. Where is the competition? I'm only seen a better N-Gage, but without the phone. It's been born dead.
The anti-virus software exists because there is no security by design in Windows, I'm not asking for anti-virus updated for free, I'm asking for some security in Windows out of the box.
We had plenty of last-minute emotions, many of you perhaps remember the 11-M, a train full of people exploded almost entering in the Madrid train station of Atocha. This was three days before the general elections.
The thing is that perhaps many people changed the vote in the last minute, but also many people who maybe wasn't going to vote changed their minds to vote for the people who they thought could manage such a situation, and this is good for democracy, I think.
About if Moore's documentary is truth or propaganda, everything is propaganda, he is presenting his facts on what he thinks, and he is not pro-bush, and don't hide it, so everyone who sees the film knows his orientations and think by themselves about what they want to believe about it. If he had said plain lies, I'm sure he would have been sued by now.
Probably, even thinking myself that second, and mostly third movie sucks a lot, will be pretty tempted to buy the pack myself, why? Well, first for the adicional footage in the second film, and also because the original movie is still The Matrix
And yes, I do think there are legitimate software patents, for example if this company had developed it's own compression algorithm, and unique, and very specific, distribution method, then they probably deserve a patent for it, but if they just say they invented distributing entertainment digitally, then there is no basis for the patent and they should be punished accordingly.
I fear to say I agree with you, to a point, al least. I think a specific technology, software or not involved, should be patentable, the problem is not with patenting thechnologies, but when ideas are patented.
For example, the mouse, if you patent the mouse, you are patenting one implementation of a device to interact with the computer in a graphical way. If you patent a way to push a button, it's not a technology, it's an idea. Same with an algorithm, the encryption idea should not be patentable, a given algorithm should.
The patent for broadcasting digital entertainment is an idea, and seems to be like patenting the use of water for thirst relieving.
With all that vague patents, why anyone has patented the operating system yet?
yes, like the product, but the popular doesn't seem to be done with generable meshes and textures, see diferences with the candytron, for example, it's amazing the candytron, nevertheless.

Yes, and at last we could forget OO-programming and return to C and ASM!

truly effective multitasking is beyond people's capabilities.
If windows95 could fake multitasking, I can do it.

I mean, who else would need help in a lawsuit about her use of Windows?
Have you thought of the geek factor of living in space? It's true, living under water has also a great geek factor, but space is the most.
Desert has a pretty low geek factor, at least if it's not Arrakis.
the Bastard Operator From Hell, and a full new bunch of front war stories.
a whole new importance

I have nightmares about an unmodded slashdot...

there are ways experts can tell a made-image from an original photograf, same as with audio, and audio editing has been around for a number of years
that voting for someone is going to throw away the work of the microsoft lobby (among others)?
and they made it with actors, why?
Are they meaning the house-crashing was on schedule?
And one of the biggest corporations in the world sees it as competition.
I'd say that's one HELL of a hobby.
It's like telling him, until now, you've done everything worthy in your life, please, leave StarWars alone. Don't touch it anymore!
After all this time, I need at least a photo of something a bit on the golden side to believe ANYTHING about HL2

just poor planning and a lack of leadership!

Dunno for the GC succesor, but have you checked the launching titles for the Nintendo DS?
;)
By the way, you have forgotten and amazing F-ZeroX also
