I really hate games that aren't even new ground. I would consider this game if it wasn't a ploy to cash in on the Hulk name. Good or not, originality may be dead as we know it.
Yes, Mac fanboys, the almighty Apple is invulnerable to security flaws. Completely impervious, it is perfect. No one will ever find a security exploit for the Mac. This is what the computing world is like with your head up your ass. Thinking is this manner is why people get spyware/viruses in the Win32 world.
Try this: remove head from ass. Now that you're in the real world, there will be a Mac exploit and it will probably spread from Mac users thinking they're above computer security.
This wouldn't be an issue if people in this country could grow up not thinking that sex is some kind of forbidden magical thing. Look at alcohol and sex, both are taught to be something to learn about and do when you're older. And when you're older you basically go crazy doing as much of both as you can. Or, you bought into that crap and still repress yourself causing all sorts of other problems.
If we didn't attach some forbidden fruit label to sex and instead treated it like it was normal, sexual deviance wouldn't be neraly as much of a problem.
Blogcasting your iPodsphere in the bloggulating blogtations of podcasted LOLing with a blogged DRM under the GPL with Linux running Vista running OS X installed by Linus on an iPod that runs in Intel that blogs on its own.
Anyone on here who bashes Creative for this is about as stupid as the USPTO. Apple tried to panent the exact same thing, Creative had their application in first (before the iPod was ever heard of). Yet you blame Creative for following the rules (however defunct) and trying to keep the MP3 monopoly from getting more out of hand.
It's called poor sportsmanship. Creative beat your favorite team and now you cry that Creative isn't playing fair. It's not their fault. If they didn't even try the patent I would have said the CEO of Creative should be fired. It is every company's job to patent everything in sight or lose the whole game. Unfortunately we all lose in this game except for 1% of the richest people, but they're the most important, right?
I read this article yesterday when it was posted. For a news summary site,./ isn't very quick.
Also, what's with the barrage of Apple/Intel/iPod/DRM/HDDVD/*AA/Lawsuit articles? These were interesting for the first few months. Just post a story every day that says:
"Companies sued other companies over pantents they shouldn't have, the *AA's are illegally abusing power they don't have and Apple did something so fantastic I crapped my pants."
This is completely legal, is anyone on here dumb enough to think that big companies will just stop patenting anything in sight? Hell no, I would have done the same thing if I were CEO of Creative.
I patented being outraged at new patents in a web environment. Slashdot owes me a lot of money.
Amen. This is why OS X will never take over the desktop either, that and you need a home loan to buy a Mac that could play these games if they were available.
Whatever, Microsoft's new core competancy in leveraging outsourced talent will definitely give them the competitive egde to keep one leg up on Sony's strategy of simply thinking outside the box, Microsoft is thinking outside the Xbox....360.
Firefly=crappy SciFi channel original B-quailty show with crappy acting. See also: Farscape. Horrible stuff, not even good SciFi.
I hate these shows. Is there something about nerds that makes them like poorly done scifi/fantasy shows? Any of the following qualify: Star Trek, Firefly, Farscape, Stargate: either one, Buffy, Battlestar Glactica, and a bunch more that I can't think of right now. If you're going to have $20 to spend on a show, drama is a bad choice. Drama usually requires real actors and a budget, not a gaggle of retarded actors and a bunch of poorly done latex masks. Try an HBO series like Carnivale, at least they hired people that deliver believable lines.
Plus, I always read on here about people wanting scifi based on real science. WTF are you watching any shows where there's gravity on a spaceship?
don't buy this HD content, it will mindless sequels and TV show remakes anyway. And don't worry, Joe Idiot won't figure out that there's a new movie format that's the same size as a DVD for 8-10 years, so your average person won't be signing up anyway.
I'm banking on Blu-ray and HDDVD failing regardless. There will be three formats that look like the same size disc, this will be a hoot.
umm... they're switching because mac hardware is like a hampster wheel in a ferrari, it looks cool but it runs like crap. wait until they get it running on x86 for real, fanboy. you can only say more efficient per clock until they can out clock you by 1GHz, that one billion more times per second. I thought I'd specify since mac users took 20 years to learn more than one mouse button.
oh, and dual core processors. yeah i know mac offers dual processors, but you can put two dual cores in an x86 board for 4x the power.
Why doesn't Logitech get as much press for making good mice, while Apple get tons of press for adding a button and a scroll wheel? It's like applauding the special ed kid for finally tying his own shoes at the age of 30, it's progress but it's what everyone else has been doing for years.
Good job, Apple, way to tie your shoes.
Good job, Logitech, way to get your PHD.
I wish I'd had a good Linux box when I was younger. I had a 386/33 with Slackware, but it wasn't good for much. The opportunity to learn that stuff while learning is that easy would've been great.
Kids don't need MS for anything other than gaming. At least Linux will make them learn to install/compile games before they can play them. I had a MSDOS 5 machine for my first family computer. None of my family really knew DOS, but I had to learn to install shareware and figure out pkzip on my own to play games. That's a good driving force to learn with a sweet reward at the end.
Thank god. Now we don't have to listen to hundreds of news reports about another space tragedy while they rake in the money. I'm sure you were so sad for Columbia, CNN, but try not to smile while you cry.
Plus, most people that die doing their job aren't on the news. It's not so much a tragedy when you shoot people off the planet and it goes wrong. That's kind of what we all expect in the back of our minds. I think a tragedy is something more unexpected, like a dentist dying on the job, that's a tragedy, who saw that coming?
I think we should also impose a limitation on the media, no talking for the first 48 hours of a "tragedy". Only text scrolling of information about the event for two days before these idiots can come on and repeat themselves over and over again. Look, reporter man, we really don't care how you say you feel or how many people you think are dead you're just reading the prompter. Just tell us what you've been told is fact and shut up, moron.
I hate MS for the same reason everyone here does: they get away with it, all of it. Put all of your quibbling aside about Mac is better or Linux is better, that's not why you care. It's because you've watched MS become a giant company through very shady means, and get away with it. It's mostly jealousy, I'd do everything Gates did if I could have the loot and you would too. Don't lie we're talking billions.
That's why we hate MS. They've done a bang up job dealing with all of the hardware and different vendors over the years. They just do everything from a business standpoint. If proprietary formats make them more money that's how it goes. They aren't in it for the Ultimate OS Experience, just the money. It just suck that we're in it for the OS experience. If you hate them that much go buy 1000 Xbox 360s and don't buy any games. There, you just took $10,000 from Billy boy.
Bill's the reason you don't have to take out a loan for a Mac (shut your faces about the Mac Mini, you wouldn't buy a P3 for $499 would you?).
For all of the naysayers: Virgin Mobile gets the best ratings from its customers for its network over Verizon, Cingular, Sprint and Nextel. Guess who's network they use? Sprint.
It's surprising that technical people get caught up in old hype about Sprint having a bad network.
The abortion/death penalty "conundrum" is really simple. Being pro-life is about saving innocent lives. The death penalty is about ending guilty ones.
So doctors should only abort future guilty fetuses. Look I solved the abortion issue. In fact, if there are women reading this, if you do have an abortion and you are shunned by those conservative, just tell them your baby was going to kill and rape them. You're just saving the state money by doing the execution now.
This is just another chapter in ingnorance in the US. Of course no prominent Christians will come out and say this should not be taught in school. The very fact that their Christians won't let then say that it's not ok to teach this. They're just a more civilized version of suicide bombers, totally blind and unreasonable all the same.
Any parents out there: If your child ever mentions that the words intelligent design or creatonism were mentioned in school, sue the crap out of that school. Any lawyer will grab that one. That's the easiest case in the word in a legal sense. Here's your arguement: "What's the basis for creationism?" When the only answer is Bible, you win. End of story. Why this isn't being done, I don't know. My parents might sue the school district and they don't have kids in school anymore, they're Catholic and they're pissed that this is even a topic.
Whenever you hear one of these idiots preaching about Creationism, just tell them that they're awful Christians. Tell them that this is a monir issue compared to all of the people overseas that they let die every day from starvation and disease so they can live their lavish American lifestyle (by lavish I mean they can always FIND food). If they think you're being unreasonable, ask them why Jesus and the Apostles(sp) gave up everything to preach the word, why do they need a Land Rover. In fact any Christian that has any worldly possesions while people are starving in the world isn't a good Christian. They should be willing to give up everything to help others if they follow the Bible.
Fortunately I'm not a Christian, so this doesn't apply to me. Ha ha, that's what you get for following a 2000-year-old book but only as much as is convenient for your lifestyle. In your face.

Correct, this is offered by Verizon and Sprint, this come from cell towers.

Oh, and for my petabyte of memory I have a RAID 5000 array that hold 10 exabytes. I like to have a copy of the whole internet on hand.
My machine kicks the crap out of that old dog. 256-bits, bitches.

Seriously, the reason kids aren't into science is because it's not cool to be smart. If it's in movies as being cool there might be a chance.
