Because AGP is eight times faster than PCI, and PCIe is twice as fast as that?
If you put a 6800 into a PCI board, the PCI bus would become the bottleneck.
Grow a brain.
No, it doesn't. The EULA does not ban modding. Very few game EULAs do, because modding boosts sales.
Changing the game's base executable is sometimes restricted, but most of the data isn't there anyway. In this case, the bit flag was in the game's save files.
Boy, you'd think that MS would have gotten around to telling that to their largest OEM, but the last I checked (five minutes ago), Dell is still shipping normal copies of XP (albeit printed with the Dell logo) with their PCs.
The EULA is a license, not a contract. It is covered by copyright law, not contract law. And R* does not forbid modding; they encourage it. Modding is what keeps old games alive, after all. Half-Life wouldn't have lasted as long as it did without mods.
Yeah, exactly. I mean, just look at how normal TV broadcasting just completely folded up when the VCR was produced.
Oh, wait, it didn't, and they kept producing content even though they didn't get the DRM they wanted.
You forgot Fedora, which has a very large desktop share, and Slackware, which is still popular. And SuSe sees some popularity on servers.
It's still pretty complicated. Not that this is nessessarily a bad thing, as others have said.
Kid? He was 17 at the time. If you're watching over your 17-year-old's shoulder every second he's on the computer, you're the one with a parenting problem.
Considering that the PS2 was hyped as being an excessively powerful console and ended up being ridiculously underpowered compared to everything except (maybe) the Dreamcast, I really doubt that we're going to see anything groundbreaking here.
At least in the CPU tech department. Anyone doing research in PR techniques can learn a lot here, I guess.

Intelligent half?
A pointy-haired management type who decided to RTFM? That's the only thing I can come up with.
So you open the case and pull the password jumper or reset the BIOS, allowing you to fuck with the BIOS settings and boot from CD.
It's not THAT hard.
On the contrary, the more security you have, the less freedom, and vice versa.
Apple makes servers, too, you know. http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/A ppleStore.woa/72601/wo/b61yJ1uzTP693eCV2aYkqvOZA9J /0.0.11.1.0.6.15.0.2.1.3.0.3.1.6.1.1.0
Horseshit. In most businessess, everyone uses the same OS and probably the same kind of computer.
Well, shit, XP was more stable than "Windows Me".
I hand out my ZIP code. It's 12121. They usually think I'm making it up.

Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft are selling at loss. IBM is selling the chips to those three at profit.
They disabled the code, and then modders put it back in. What's next, Valve being responsible for every Half-Life mod?
You mean Instant Runoff Voting? (yes, your idea has already occurred to others).

If employees feel like they're being watched somehow, they're less likely to spend the day playing Yahoo! Games and checking their email.
Or posting on Slashdot?
On a semi-related note, who do you work for right now?
In that it's generally accepted that either is better than the MS equivalent (IE and Notepad, respectively), I'd say yes.
"Monolopy" isn't a word (you insensitive clod!).
Haven't "type-in-the-orders" games been around since Advent and Zork?

Ogg Vorbis isn't going anywhere. It's MP3 except it's open-source, and MP3s still sound like shit.
Now, if they add FLAC support, then I'll consider buying it.
That's what The Find Print is for. Didn't you read it?
