I don't agree. Control of the root servers effectively means that they could seriously damage a country's internet structure (and subsequently economy) IF they wanted to. It could effectively mean war by technological starvation. There SHOULD be a united body handling the internet. Full stop. Whether it's the UN or not is a null issue, the UN do a heck of a lot of good generally, so I have no problem with it.
"you cannot pre-order the game. If you see some online store saying "We are taking pre-orders", they're just trying to get your money (they usually also make up their own supposed "insider release date info", too). There is no release date set, we are not taking pre-orders for the game. End of story. The release date of this game is "When it's done". Anything else, and we mean anything else is someone's speculation. There is no date. We don't know any date. If you have a friend who claims they have "inside info", or there's some game news site, or some computer store at the mall who claims they know - they do not. They are making it up. There is no date. Period.
And yes, we know the game has taken a long time. There's no possible joke you could make about the game's development time that we haven't already heard.:)"
My partner is german and she equally agrees that it is a horrible, disgusting, ugly language, and is reluctant to even teach me it! (And comments that it's a bit like the average German public really - digusting!)
It's not a 'supposed need'; as far as I'm aware, products sold in the EU have to have foreign translations on them, hence why electrical goods will literally have huge booklets covering every EU language.
Yep, I do. say the developing tools are £1000 (theyre actually less), that's 5x the cost of windows. There isnt even a ratio of 1:10 of developers to users, it's much less, possibly in the 1:1000s, or even 10:100000s. Therefore they're not recouperating anywhere near the market saturation of marketed products that M$ are. Nearly everyone in the world with a window machine has Office on it, par example.
I know very very well that Flash especially has a very low dev to user ratio. As an Actionscript 2 coder I'm in HIGH demand because they're actually RARE, and a lot have pirated copies as most flash work is done freelance. There's a good volume of people with pirated copies of Distiller or Flash, but legal? Not really.

Your grasp of English is... incredible.
Mhmmm
Lots of fans != good music
Lots of fans == accessible music
Accessible music != good music
And since when did anyone respect the opinion of Bono?
And since when was Nelson Mandela a strong voice and fountain of knowledge in the music world?
SHUT UP! Shut up! The Corrs are a pile of arse, shut it.
The Corrs are your favourite band? *shudders*

Good point. Took the words straight out of my mouth.
What a brilliant list, it's amazing, especially the mars rover projects
So from the 3drealms website.. would mean.. its a dev comment... therefore I'm not a 'fucktard'

isnt the point that this is for ANYONE to use regardless of techie knowledge?
So basically you CANT already have this now?
That's the most pointless 'going in circles' post of the week.

They don't sustain it. The email notifications are reguarly 2-3 days late, or just never arrive.
The code behind that site is atrocious
Ah, C&C, how I love you so
No, no, no, lets leave it as a flame.

I could be wrong though.
...to sleep through that
I won't believe any of this until there is a Podcast released on it.
Aren't they all? Although saying that, the GP's was definately worthy of some sort of prize.
