"t. You know those crabby grammar nazi's and other annoying/. pedants? I can almost guarantee you that you won't be finding them at a bar tonight, nor telling jokes to the CEO."
+1 insightful. I actually don't trust anyone who doesn't drink. I can't really find a scientific reason for it, but its a good indicator of how real someone is.
Yeah I dont think i've ever even seen that acronym written anywhere. Video on demand? Is that television? IPTV?
PVR/DVR is pretty common, but as long as they knew what a "digital video recorder" was, then thats a pass. Not everyone perfers to use shortforms in place of words. IM is stupid and always has been. People should say "icq" instead. Like kleenex or coke.
"So while 40% of online Britons receive news feeds, 67% did not know that the official term for this service was Really Simple Syndication."
Man, I see RSS everywhere and *I* didnt even know what it stood for. I mean come on, if you use something, and refer to it as "feeds" or something else, and people know what you mean and you can communicate, then why all the need for correctness?
"Hollywood was dying up to that point with films like "A Bridge Too Far" and that "Barry Lyndon" or whatever it was called movie"
If I ever meet you in real life I would beat you for hours on end.. Barry Lyndon was possibly the best kubrick movie ever made. It was also the best period piece I have ever seen. The lengths that kubrick went to to perserve authenticity, lighting all interior nighttime shots with candles which required a special lense from nasa - and you call it "dying" and "whatever that was called"? And to top it off, the movie you perfered was JAWS from that no talent hack spielbergo???!?! Hollywood should be so lucky to create ONE film EVER AGAIN like Barry Lyndon. A Bridge Too Far was also very well done but I'm not even going to waste my time on an uncouth lout such as yourself. You are an insult to humanity and all culture. Do not ever comment on movies again.
Sitting at brit bank taught me about economics and economies of scale. Not to mention how to barter, reel in a sucka, forcast trends and most importantly, how to make money for nothing.
I can honestly say everything I know about the financial systems of the world was learned and adapted from UO.
Thats a pretty silly thing to say. If a car comes with A/C standard, but you never turn it on, should they be obliged to rip it out and refund you money that you have already agreed to pay?

What would really rock would be a viral firmware, that would give users the choice to update and become free or not. It could have a little graphic of a red and a blue pill pop up on the other users screen. Wouldnt that be both conceptually and practically awesome. The first mass propagation of wireless firmware.
Speaker: Then it is unanimous, we are going to approve the bill to evacuate the town.. Congressman: Wait a minute, I want to tack on a rider to that bill: $30 million of taxpayer money to support the perverted arts. Speaker: All in favor of the amended Springfield slash pervert bill? [everyone boos] Speaker: Bill defeated.
Where do you think the afformentioned "struggles" came from? As an example, BF1942. It owned so much. You had so much free form area, the maps were large.. BF2 is an abomination (with better graphics) compared to what bf1942+DC was. The maps are tightly encircled, so that you can only go basically, where the "story" of the map puts you. You can tell its bad coding, It couldnt handle huge ass maps with the updated graphics. I am sure EA sacrafices gameplay for graphics. I have seen them do this many times *cough* uo3d *cough*.
"It's (This story is) designed to inflame American passion against Iran and the Muslim world. The American government in particular wants to distract its population from the failing economy. The radical president of America was elected to fix economic woes, but he has been sidetracked by international conflict."
Or is that just unintentionally funny... Your post could easily be about the news story about the game and not the actual game itself.
"Within a few (3-5) years from now, the average US worker will start to realise that they are working 10 hours a week more than they used to, but that their standard of living is not improving."
Surely you jest good sir! It says right here in this newspaper that our working hours have actually declined from 70 hours last year to 60 this year. I mean it says it right there! comrade, you must be mistaken...
Spoken like someone who will be first against the wall.
I should not have the liberty to hit people with my car. I should not have the liberty to build buildings and sell them that fall and crush their owners. I should not have the liberty to take from society without paying something back (taxes).
I should have the liberty to not be tortured. I should have the liberty to not be monitored by the state.
Like I Really wonder about these americans who think its ok for the american government to do these things. Are you just trying to be contrary? Do you like defending the losing side no matter whoes on it? Are you that fucking stupid that you think a few buildings getting knocked down by airliners means that the world is magically changed?
You don't have to THINK about these issues. It should be engrained into EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THIS FUCKING PLANET THAT TORTURING PEOPLE IS NOT OK IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE FOR ANY REASON PERIOD.
we are talking about the downfall of modern civilization here, and you aparently need to "think it out".
Dual Opterons suck down a tonne of power. Make absolutely sure you have enough of a power supply to handle it. I actually have two power supplies driving my computer right now, a 650 and a 450. They love power.
"I think many "typical Linux users" are in the same boat: not too interested in playing games"
And this my friends is the main problem the rest of us have with linux. Its not different ways to do things, it's not too hard to work with, it is the fact that linux has "no interest in playing games" that keeps linux off the desktop. Build it, and they will come.
As you say battery, I must assume that you are running a laptop. Laptop video cards are not "onboard" so to speak. They are made for light to moderate gaming and thusly have WAY more processing power than a normal desktop onboard video.
You have a laptop with a video card in it. Lots of laptops come with nvidia or ati video cards built in.
So um.. If you have the kids and disapprove of their scat porn fetishes, just turn the browser part off. I'm tired of products being crippled because they are also sold to kids. Kids don't even got money. I do. So they should cater to me!!
Besides, the PR disaster of online porn hasn't sunk the internet or computers yet.
Why would you complain that a game was taking you longer than advertised? surely this is a feature of it, unless you just play games to say you beat them as an old person or whatever would. Perhaps its the same mentality that forces many 30 somethings to buy books that they never read so they can have bookshelves...
"I finally threw in the towel. Why? Because I couldn't get anywhere near the end."
I don't really understand the elderly because whenever I try to talk to them they keep telling me to get off their lawns! Nevermind that they live in a condo and its just a green carpet...
"The word "podcast" comes directly from "iPod," and yet isn't associated with them. A lawyer could easily argue that this is dilution of trademark."
That makes no sense. Is dodge suing everyone who calls something "dodgey"? no of course not. And thats even like slander or something, making fun of their name.

The last few episodes were really smart and really funny. "whats the point, we're all slowly dying.." -homer on his lack of motivation.

leela all the way, with an honourable mention for rose.
I think he meant monkier not wordplay. Like m$, microshaft, or winblows
I cant think of any good ones though. I wonder if they do monkier focus groups when designing product names...
You win this thread.

Onboad video. bwahahaha. yeah you can play commander keen on it! and flight simulators from the early 90s!
Honestly, that people like this are modded up.. its unfathomable.
onboard video cards SHARE RAM! I mean wow. Talk about not knowing ANYTHING.
