I'd say corporate PCs have a higher probability of having half a gig of RAM than one whole gigabyte.
The whole story is, of course, retarded. Nobody will be going around thousands computers to reinstall the OS the day it becomes available (legally) for business.
Yes, he certainly did. Here's what the original version was supposed to look like:
Randal Graves: That look was so gay, I thought Sam was gonna tell the little Hobbits to go for a walk so he could saunter over to Frodo and suck his fucking cock. Now *that* would have been an Academy Award-worthy ending. Hobbit Lover: Hey, faggot! They're not gay. They're hobbits. Randal Graves: And then after the Frodo and Sam suckfest, just before the credits roll, Sam straight up fucking bricks in Frodo's mouth.

I think if you make a comparison, it would soon become obvious that the NT kernel has several advantages, mainly its support for Win32 applications but also environment subsystems compatibility with Posix and OS/2. Also, the way the drivers are handled are rather advantageous, since they're divided into three levels, the middle one also supporting WDM for compatibility with the previous generation of kernel.
Vista already seems to have a more power-saving profile by default, I was surprised when I couldn't VNC into it a few hours after leaving. Turned out (when I physically got there) it entered the suspend mode. Needless to say (but I'll say it anyway, hah!), the power settings are back at Always On.
Thanks, but that doesn't seem to help much nowadays...
This was Flamebait, a slightly modified Bill Hicks quote was modded Troll, and most of the last 24 comments are still unmoderated. What happened to the slashdot moderation system? Did it start choosing only the users who registered within the last few days?
I suggest that all comment submission forms have an additional text field, only visible to mods and which one could use to explain the jokes and references.
Kill 'em all, Adolf, all of 'em! Bottlenose, Northern Rightwhale, Atlantic Spotted, Tucuxi, kill 'em all! Start over, the experiment didn't work! Wash these mammal wastes of flesh and bone off this planet! I pray to you, God, to kill these fucking dolphins!
In this case, our part of the deal is to spend the next five minutes, months, or years migrating away from every shred of Novell/SUSE software in our home, office, or enterprise."
I'm doing my part already. I installed the RC2 on my test pc and will be installing the final version on all compatible machines.
Of course there are a few successful localized industries... but as with many other poor countries, there are a few developed areas, while the rest of the country is still in the stone age.
Of course the games aren't a substitute for real life, but while you would be learning close to nothing about racing from the latest NFS, or about flying from Crimson Skies, you could learn a lot of relevant information from GTR2 and Falcon 4. Now, GH is completly different from the above two categories because it's just fucking retarded - you're pressing the buttons as they light up on screen! Wow, what a novel concept, and about as fun as the dancing minigames in Larry, Pirates!, Stubbs, and a shitload of other games.
Except that liberatrians [...] seem to think that if left alone, corporations will benefit everybody else by profiting off of them.
Maybe you should read what Michael Badnarik (you know, the 2004 Libertarian presidential candidate) has to say about corporations:
A market in which single proprietorships and partnerships must compete against what are essentially mini-branches of government [the corporations], with all the attendant privileges and immunities, isn't a free market. It's a rigged game.
I support unrestricted trade across international borders, and I support companies developing themselves internationally. But the fact is that corporate growth today isn't natural market growth. It's growth encouraged and enhanced by government-dispensed privilege. It's artificial, and it distorts rather than serves the market.
We need to restore justice to the system. Stockholders are owners, and should be liable for the consequences of that ownership like any other owners. [...] Corporations don't have rights and don't face consequences. People do. Tinkering with that has been disastrous. It's time to get back to full responsibility for individuals instead of government privilege for corporations.
I don't think what he's trying to say is that corporations, as they are today, are good for the economy or the society.
>Pretty solid game, I wish the campaign were bigger (more like the total war series) but can't complain too much.
Are you talking about the original DoW, or Dark Crusade? Both are pretty solid games, and while the DoW campaign might've been a little too short, I'm somewhat disappointed by the DC campaign. The turn-based part is a nice touch, but overall it feels like it's just a bunch of skirmish games stuck together. Now, I usually don't mind the absence of story in games if the gameplay is good (and it is, although having played Company of Heroes I must say I liked it more), but here the campaign just doesn't offer much over the skirmishes.
Too bad they didn't include this song by Steve Vai. Not only would it be a good exercise for the censorship department, the second half of the song would cause severe finger injuries to many players.

As Taco says, it's possible with XP. Just have a look at the availibe XP torrents, here's one for example: XP Jacked Robusto Edition.

the solution is simple: release Duke Nukem Forever with its own game download service!
Not yours.

You don't get that sort of technology in OT.

What's wrong with China? Oh I don't know, maybe this? How about this? Or maybe you'd prefer more Economist?

That's because they don't have to play the same thing over and over again

Of course. Bears are always the threat number one.

Well, now you can just "forget" your phone in a taxi.

Cripple Fight!
I own the copyright to several essays, papers, and pieces of software I'd be willing to offer for this project. When do the negotiations begin?

Radius, then?
Apple will announce a G5 Powerbook on a press conference next week.

Detroit? I don't think any Mexicans will want to move to Detroit.
