ID doesn't agree with the concept of mutation, or anything of the sort. It's "Intelligent Design" not "Intelligently Guided Mutations". ID is a creative way of saying God created everything, but kinda sounds scientific. I'm not saying that believing God had a hand in the evolutionary process is wrong or stupid, it just isn't what Intelligent Design is.
I'm a freshman at my school (Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, IL), and I don't understand where your bitching is coming from. I landed a job in the Information Retrieval Lab as a Research Assistant at my university and I also applied (and will probably get) a system administrator position as well. My advisor sends out emails all the time giving us heads up information about jobs/internships in our field, and I know several other CS majors employed either through the school, or just a business in the Chicago area, doing standard IT stuff.
The best part is, compared to the job my non-CS friends have (like, being a door guard or something stupid like that) I make way more money (which is great as a poor college student:D) and they're basically paying me to get free experience in my field.
Like I said, maybe I'm just lucky, but racking up experience for my resume during school doesn't seem to be too tough.
I don't know. I've been using Linux for awhile (3 years now) and I gave Ubuntu to a friend. He had some questions, and I was fooling around with it. Does it go against convention often (like the whole no su, sudo for everything)? If it does that unneccesarily, it seems like it's just going to make the person not understand Linux, but understand Ubuntu.
I know there are differences between distros, but that seemed a little drastic to me, and I was afraid more simple conventions like that would be changed for seemingly no reason. Personally, I'd rather initially have a hard time, but in the end, be able to operate, for the most part, a *nix box without too much trouble.
The middle button is great, but I've been having trouble with it lately. It only works if the link is just plaintext. If the link is also bolded, or it's an image that links somewhere, middle click doesn't work. It started doing this all of a sudden, and I don't know how to fix it =\. And ideas?
Also, the middle-click to close the tab doesn't work for me either.

Music & Rhythm games have been around for a good amount of time. And their still going strong, well, relatively. A few have been hitting US shores, like Gitaroo Man and DDR, most unfortunately just stay in Japan. Some are being developed here, like Amplitude and the like.
And honestly, I think the only reason Nintendo develops the "new genres" you speak of is because they don't have sufficient 3rd party support like Sony or Microsoft.
The show was horrible in the first place. I'm sick of all the horrible over-acting and lame jokes coming out of both of their mouths. Nonetheless, it's a lot more than anything G4 had to offer.
Resident Evil 4, if I'm not mistaken, is to come out sometime in January. I'm pretty excited about that, moreso than GT4 since I'm not the biggest racing game fan.
Pretty much the same thing here. I have a Sony branded monitor that I've dropped (well, my friend dropped it once, I suppose we are quite the clumsy fellas) twice, or maybe three times, and the only thing wrong with it is the plastic/spring mechanism (you know, the thing that lets your monitor pivot around) broke, but the picture quality is still as excellent as it was the day I bought it.
My Sony computer is also holding up incredibly well, save for the fact that Sony's cases are like fucking rubix cubes.
However, I've gone through two PS1's and two PS2's. Needless to say, I think I'm going to wait a bit on the PSP. Hopefully they'll have the battery issue fixed by then.
I was going to ask the same thing. I'm not familiar with IRIX or SGI's AT ALL, so perhaps I'm looking at it from the wrong perspective. But based on whats inside the system, how can it be better than a current PC?
That defeats the whole purpose of BitTorrent. The reason it is used is because it alleviates load from servers. Once enough people have the entire file, and are seeding it, download speeds are huge.
The big problem, however, is for those of us with assymetric connections (like Cable and DSL). Basically, it uses all of your upload, and chokes your download, which seems to be your problem, so I'd recommend getting a different client (pretty much every client save the Official Client has upload limiting), my personal favorite is Azureus. Be warned though, your download speed is determined by how quickly you are uploading (for the most part), so being cheap and giving something around 1 k won't get you anywhere.
On my crappy 3 Mb/256 kb connection, I have my global upload limited to 10 kBps, and BT works wonderfully for me.
My friends and I were talking about how sweet of an MMO they could potentially make on the DS. Like, the bottom screen would be your inventory, and your spells/skills you could cast, which could be selected with the stylus, and the top screen would show your character and all that stuff.
They would just need to add (or perhaps allow would be the better word?) the ability for the wireless network to go online, and bam, handheld MMO goodness.
Man I wish I heard about these guys a month ago, instead of today, while they were touring in Grand Rapids. They actually played with a band composed of a few friends of mine, but I never really took a huge interest in the music they played (their bands name is Tanooki Suit, btw).
Man that would've been sweet, these guys put out some nice stuff, I'll probably end up buying their album.

Nope, I do exactly the same thing. It works wonders really.

Tabbrowser Prefences took care of it for me, thanks :D.

That sounds like the best book evar.

The article said it didn't conflict with it assuming I read correctly.

Too bad only old people from Korea will use them :O

You're still blinking the right way. They'll never die if you're doing it like that.

Unless I'm mistaken, the original didn't have upstream limiting, however, the experimental client did.
Except that's GT4 Mobile for the PSP. So, it's a perfect comparison.
I recall hearing Sony was trying to revamp the battery to last longer for the US release, or something along those lines to conserve power.
If that's the case, I can imagine the Japanese getting pissed.

And in the case of the crowd in question:
All the people all the donkey's have had sex with.
I'm guessing he's referring to the lighter window managers (rather than the DEs), like IceWM, Black/Flux-box and their ilk.
Personally, I've always liked IceWM, and I use BBLite on Windows. I can still make it look nice, and it doesn't have anything that gets in my way.
