I'm not really sure you can say Doom was a rip off of Wolfenstein when Wolfenstein 3D and Doom were both made by iD. I'm really not sure how you would rip yourself off.
Of course, you're ignoring the fact that neither were originals and in fact 'rip offs' as well, since you're using the term so loosely.
Whats funny is that you think you posted about Zynga copies of original games and you're just ignorant of the fact that the all games you listed are copies of earlier versions. None in that list are originals in any way, unless you include 'being on facebook' as original.
Are you really trying to pretend someone is selling a car with LSD's and calling it traction control or are you just the stupid?
LSDs are in no way 'traction control' systems. They are LSDs, by the time they kick in, you're well past traction and into the 'oh shit please let me get out of this shitty situation without having to get out of my car and stop one wheel from spinning by forcing it to have traction'
Traction control works actively to prevent wheel spin. LSDs just try to keep the ratio of difference in wheel spin as low as possible, with allowing for some at the low end so you can actually turn without your tires wearing to nubs in a week.
In both cases, that has absolutely nothing at all to do with all wheel drive, if you think it does, your definition is wrong.
Communicating with Mozilla developers is pretty much not effective no matter HOW you try to do it. Where have you been the last few years? They just wonder around starting new halfassed projects for no reason, then not fixing those bugs, instead choosing to rewrite it or something else... again.
Or you could just require ipsec internally like everyone who actually knows what their doing, IPSec rules over ethernet encryption unless you aren't using IP. No IPSec authentication, no communications, period, problem solved.
I promise you there are multiple published phone numbers that will get you to a live person working or affiliated with Google who can escalate the issue internally to the right person.
Its amazing that 'idiots behind the front desk' of hotels can find our office phone numbers and call us, but geeks can't.
Its really amazing how little effort you'll put into something and then pretend it was a monumental task that you just had no chance of accomplishing.
Really? Cause thats expressly forbidden in OSMs rules, in multiple places. I've not seen any mention anywhere of being allowed to use someone elses map data. They go out of their way to make sure that doesn't happen so they can be 100% positive they OWN the map data, that it is not DERIVED, and that they can redistribute it anyway they want.
OSMs data isn't bad now, but if you've found a couple cities in europe where OSM beats GMaps, good for you, thats silly and unrealistic in the rest of the world though. OSMs data sources are ridiculously out of date mostly based on government data and need updated and fixed. Great strides have been made, but the effort isn't nearly as powerful as Googles. So yes, if you live somewhere that is so insignificant that Google hasn't bothered fixing up there yet, its possible you have better maps because you or your significant other bothered to correct OSMs data.
Finally, I know all of this because... I have an that uses OSM data and is sold on 'the android marketplace', so I assure you, while Google may promote their own product, they don't deny others. You really are entirely out of touch with reality.
Some of us remember when you designed software before you wrote it, rather than stumble through writing code and turning out an amalgamation of crap.
Some of us also remember forward and backward compatibility.
Of course, young'ns tell us all the time that we need to be agile and RAD and all that... while their using a properly engineered network thats been pretty much the same basic protocol since day one and is older than they are... yet they never seem to last more than a couple years.
There is very little resemblance between what Google is doing here and what Microsoft did back then
No, its pretty much 100% identical. Both companies added features unique to their browser using their seemingly infinite resources (as far as browser development is concerned) to add features to their browser that other browsers had in the hopes that you will use their products (The OS for MS, Google app for Google) instead of their competition. While the specifics themselves are different, its the same play from the same playbook.
I suspect you misunderstand Google's goals behind Chrome/Chromium.
I would have to say you have that backwards. For the reasons I already stated, it seems pretty clear to me that you've got some Google colored beer googles on. I'm not bitching about what they are doing, but I didn't bitch about Microsoft either until it was way to late. However, I am smart enough to know that its silly to pretend Google is doing anything different than MS. What they do in the future will matter more than what they do today though.
You're also ignoring other changes you had to make in order to get that 155hp. It didn't come from just from your switch to ethanol, there simply isn't that much energy there.
Ethanol is a good solvent... and as such it dissolves lots of things that gasoline doesn't... which then proceed to gum up things.
The ethanol doesn't gum up your carbarator or injectors... the orings and seals the ethanol at out in your fuel delivery system that are now flowing along with the fuel on the other hand DO gum things up.

E85 is a nice alternative to gasoline because it does give a tad more horsepower.
No it doesn't, not in consumer vehicles. Get your facts straight.
Ethanol in fuel is what CAUSES the condensation problem as ethanol absorbes water and then dumps it during a phase change so you'll end up with a puddle of water at the end of your tank BECAUSE of ethanol. Ethanol is one of the primary reasons boaters use fuel stabilizers, don't need it without ethanol. With ethanol you need fuel stabilizers to keep the ethanol from dumping its water and your engine sucking it into all the places that don't need it as right after it dumps its water the whole damn thing turns into one big bunch of acid that fucks up everything in your engine.
What's the support like? How many years will this be updated without having to wipe and reinstall?
I just upgraded a pair of FreeBSD boxes from 6.0 and 6.2 to 9.0, it was a multistep process that required several manual steps (documented steps mind you) to complete. The upgrade process completed exactly as described in the upgrade instructions though it wasn't just a 'upgrade now' button:)
I used portmaster to rebuild all my ports and everything appears to work perfectly. It is only a couple days old and hasn't had any real load on it since the upgrade though so I won't know for sure until the workday starts tomorrow probably.
Actually, according to the Encyclopedia Galatica that fell through a time warp from the future, they WERE the first people up against the wall when the revolution CAME.
Linux won't suck less just because MS or Apple sucks more.
Rather than wanting your team to be better, you're hoping the other teams will get worse. Thats not a winning situation. Why are Linux fanboys such losers? You guys try to fail, it really is amazingly impressive.
He may be wrong in the 'pharmaceutical companies are CREATING diseases' department, but its a known fact that pharma companies would rather treat than cure, which is more or less EXACTLY what he's suggesting AV companies do.
Its not an unbelievable statement. Unlikely perhaps, but not impossible.
The slowdown isn't from disk access, its from the processing time it takes to scan the data and figure out if its good or bed, then pass it along.
You could do it on RAM disks and you wouldn't see much of a speed improvement over a spinning platter. Over slower media perhaps, but not worth mentioning on any modern desktop drive. Your CPU processing the data trying to pattern match on it is going to be far slower than your HD accesses.
I'd take you up on that bet. I haven't had an infection in 11 years and I've not used any anti-anything in that entire time.
You have to consider that all my machines live behind real firewalls and that I'm not an idiot in what I download and it becomes fairly easy to not get infected.
Its kind of like getting AIDS, its really not hard to avoid the likely infection vectors, and the unlikely infection vectors are going to get you no matter how hard you try to avoid it. I.E. Unprotected sex and running random files off the internet you can avoid. Blood transfusions and unknown remote exploits in tcp/ip stacks are a little more difficult to actively avoid and sometimes they get you, but those are really rare cases.
You're rant about XP is simply wrong for multiple reasons. I've seen FoxIT exploited, god knows how many times FF has been, its not even a shinning example of good software standing next to IE6, sorry to burst your bubble, but its not Chrome.
OpenDNS is roughly the same as unprotected sex, you deserve what you get and I'm sorry you can't recognize how you're being manipulated by it, they pull the same DNS redirect shit as Network Solutions, and specifically redirect google results to their own modified by looks alike page. You're being scammed and don't even know it.
PAE/AWE allow the OS to use more than 4G of ram without being 64 bit, it actually allows the OS to pretend to be 36 bit for addressing purposes.
This will allow your 32bit kernel to access more than 32 bits of memory, though any given single application running in 32 bit mode will ALSO have to be AWE aware
or it will be limited to 4 gigs of ram for itself.
Both OSX, and Windows have no problem addressing more than 4g of ram in a 32 bit kernel. OSX even allows you to run 64 bit apps on a 32bit kernel, though my own investigation of this leads me to believe the truth here is that the actual kernel is 64 bit, but being that its a micro kernel and drivers run as userspace processes, they can still run as 32bit inside of a 64 bit kernel. This technically allows them to run 32 bit drivers 'in a 64bit kernel' but thats only because what they're claiming as 'the kernel' would just be 'user processes' to the rest of us.

CTC isn't original either.
You kids these days, you think the first thing you played is the original and are just too silly to know its all been done multiple times before.

My network setup would prevent it from happening.
Why is this so difficult for people?
Google is a company trying to make money.
I promise you there are multiple published phone numbers that will get you to a live person working or affiliated with Google who can escalate the issue internally to the right person.

And you don't get to determine what's "production stable" as you clearly don't have a clue what you're talking about.
Just for reference, neither do you.
Most *BSD fanboy's don't consider Linux production stable, we tend to have higher standards.

Its not an unbelievable statement. Unlikely perhaps, but not impossible.
Its in Europe, and it also is on the other end of the net connection that is required to get a list of offerings for you.
Its only in Europe where they've made it a requirement for MS to sell their product with the competition on the front page.
An SSD or RAID will provide no help at all.
The slowdown isn't from disk access, its from the processing time it takes to scan the data and figure out if its good or bed, then pass it along.
You could do it on RAM disks and you wouldn't see much of a speed improvement over a spinning platter. Over slower media perhaps, but not worth mentioning on any modern desktop drive. Your CPU processing the data trying to pattern match on it is going to be far slower than your HD accesses.
That works fine for now, if you've got that much time and energy spare to bother with it all the time.
However, if that became 'the norm' then the virus infections would just also include code to exploit the VM subsystem.
You really don't think that VMware is better at security than Microsoft, do you?
I'd take you up on that bet. I haven't had an infection in 11 years and I've not used any anti-anything in that entire time.
