Only if you consider Silicon Valley to be the land of overhyped developers. Seriously, Rare had a run of good games, but when was their last real good one. Same with anything Molyneux has produced.
Yeah. You get a 6GB disk image that is basically zeroes over and over again. So that 2KB is describing that it's essentially 6 billion-ish zeroes one after another.
I don't remember it from the time, but in a post on an inferior "technology" news site last week, there was another bogus compression story in which someone brought up a fractal compression program. But this one moved the original file to a hidden location, and gave you a trojan at the same time! Talk about efficiency!
Okay, but take the author's words as he put them and don't compare it to a GREAT 3D fighter like VF4, T5, or SC2/3, but only a GOOD one like Virtua Fighter, Tekken, or Soul Blade. Any day of the week, I'd pick a GREAT game over a GOOD one, no matter how many polygons and particle effects the GOOD one has.
I was thinking the same thing after a few of my earlier posts describing the differences between KDE and Gnome. Many KDE apps are KDE apps because of their integration with DCOP and such. Features which (I believe) Gnome lacks the infrastructure for. If one app uses a custom KPart from a separate application, how do they plan on making it work on the Gnome side? Amarok is an excellent example to look at for this instance.
I'm a KDE fanatic who's attempted to use Gnome multiple times (I was actually a Gnome fanatic a while ago, around the time of Mandrake 8.2/9.0). Gnome seems way too demanding for slower machines. It's extremely slow on my 4 year old laptop, but KDE runs fine.
And speaking from experience, Qt4 should make leaps and bounds for KDE in speed and memory management.
Perhaps they'll wait until it's decided (has it been already?) how sound will be done in KDE4. All I know is that they're doing away with arts. Don't know what they're replacing it with.
KDE is developed in C++/Qt. Gnome is developed in C/GTK. Two extremely different toolkits in separate languages. It'd probably be possible to port Gnome to C++/Qt, or KDE to C/GTK. But I know I wouldn't want to do that. Especially the KDE to C.
Gnome is generally not configurable. KDE is configurable out the wazoo. That's why. Gnome seems to be very resource hungry. KDE has the option to run extremely light. That's why. Because I prefer KHTML/Konqueror to Gecko/Firefox. That's why.
Seconded. This guy is a douchebag. I'd rather play Street Fighter 2: Super Hyper Turbo Tournament Edition Squared than any of the 3D iterations of Street Fighter.
They may not offer an OS-less laptop, but many of the resellers linked to by http://www.msicomputer.com/NB/index.asp do. I'm actually gonna buy the MS-1039 as soon as they are actually for sale. OS-less, of course.
Because that's a great idea. Move the work of the congested patent office to the congested courts. I would think it would be more beneficial for patents to take a little longer, rather than more unnecessary lawsuits in the courts.
You can sue the entire country. You can only threaten to sue the entire world. The rest of the world will laugh at you because they don't have such retarded patent systems as the US.
But if it is changed the other way (to make the deduction equal to the $500K/year) we get a wage lowered by $0.25. I doubt a company would lower 100,000 people's wages all by 25 cents. But I have no doubt they'd lay off a few hundred people who they think make too much, as opposed to lowering the overpaid executive's salary.
I don't think they would save a buck buying from Lenovo, if they're still carrying the IBM price range. If they went with eMachines, on the other hand..

It's like playing the Sims. It's more fun when the people drown/set fires because of their own stupidity, instead of forcing it to happen.

Don't forget Fable. That wasn't quite as good as it was hyped to be.
You forgot that the first part of their name is Infinium

I'm willing to deal with it if they COMMIT to a better product...

I don't see what you're saying. I thought it was the best one of the series. Especially all the 3D action sequences! :P

1. It teaches you not to take all code at face value, and actually read into it.
2. It's fun.

That was what I'd thought. But I wasn't about to state it as fact when I wasn't sure.
Cigarettes haven't been advertised on television in the USA (at least where I am) for quite a while. All we have is cigarette print ads.
I think of Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom when I think of Allentown.
I'm not sure about their porno, either.
