i don't think those are mods so much as...toys, or models. They seem to be just plush models of the consoles...a teddybear is not a 'mod' to an actual animal...
I think it would be neat if they included an option to play as japanese forces, but still play out the story of a losing war. Although the war as a whole was lost (by japan), i'm sure there were personal victories. These could be portrayed to appeal to japanese audiences...
me...i'll be playing for the allies, and probably enjoying it immensely.
Exactly. Niche applications are where real innovation occurs. here's a little detail
Bittorrent is the greatest innovation in networking software i've seen yet. I really think with the right support (and a whole lot less warez) bittorrent could potentially replace (or substantially extend) the FTP protocol. The internet could be much faster and have a much better load capacity if bittorrent functions were built into HTML engines. The slashdot problem would simply cease to exist.
However, I hope this doesn't become a war of dogmas (free/ proprietary).
it has started, and nothing good has come of it. However, the way i see it's current status is, OSS is fighting for public awareness of it's existance, where as Proprietary FUD is fighting against that awareness.
That's just not the point...OpenCD seems like a great idea to me...
Show windows users (not you defensive knowledgable ones, i mean schoolkids and people in libraries) that they have an alternative to the software they use, and they may become very receptive to it.
soon they may open their eyes to the fact that there is an alternative out there...some of them may become interested, and progress, and eventually move away from propriatary software all together. Some of them might not care.
I really think OEM's ought to push this as a default install on windows computers, and then offer office, photoshop etc. as upgrades (or sidegrades, seeing as it is equivelent software).
After using free software, people might see that moving to a completely free platform isn't so scary afterall.
I have yet to meet someone who, after using linux for a while, wanted to switch back. This includes some very non-technical friends of mine.
You took that out of context...in the article that was a statement to support optimization for benchmarking tools to make the game LOOK better for advertizing and review purposes, not for the end user...
Please...speed and power have been glorified since cars were invented...did we forget the GTO's and Mustangs of the 60's? this game won't make kids irrisponsible drivers any more than doom makes them kill or Pacman makes them crave candy and run away from ghosts...
I find RPG's too repetitave, and i don't have the attention span to play through a 120 hour one without high doses of ridalin...
That being said, i do like pen and paper RPG's like D&D and Star Wars RPG much more, even though my friends pretty much use them as an excuse to hang out a couple nights a week...
would this enable memory stick-enabled devices such as mp3 players or cameras to exchange data wirelessly, or allow you to use a memory stick without plugging it in...the former allows for quite interesting uses...
for instance...use the 802.11 memorystick in your car for instant mp3s playing through your car stereo...walk inside and the song continues...
no more need for the "kodak" style camera dock for instant picture posting to the internet, either.
I don't understand it...Apple sells their music almost at a loss, to make money on ipods. Dell, and i think Napster also have their own devices to sell...but i can't see where anyone else stands to make any money, and still keep the RIAA well fed.
i mean unless Walmart comes out with the embedded lindows powered Walpod, it's a losing propasition...

or maybe Cheney(master) and Bush(slave)...
i'm thinking employer and assistant, or, thing 1 and thing 2
I think this name confirms Linus's rockstar-like role in the open source world, as it shows he is now addicted to both drugs and sex.
No, he is merely addicted to intoxicated aquatic rodents.

didn't i read about glow-in-the-dark rabbits a few years back?
yea, but in almost all cartoons/take offs/referances, igor is the assistant, not fritz
yea, soon they'll be implanting chips in our brains at birth, and charging us for hearing music...
tinfoil hat adorned!
it dosen't require the complete replacement of an OS, drive partitioning, learning a CLI, etc. next.

Sounds fun...do ya think we'll ever see a linux binary?
And Frogger will make them want to cross heavily trafficked streets!!! The Carnage!!!

Alright, now the state of utah will get their $699 linux invoices at 1Gbps!!!

Darl Mcbride lives alone in a studio apt in utah, wasting away dreaming of what might have been...
somehow by CHOOSING to move away from microsoft, they are moving away from freedom of choice? that is the biggest piece of FUD i've ever heard!
i'm sure they would use some sort of authentication scheme to prevent this sort of thing...so you couldn't see your neighbors pics and stuff...

I actually haven't had any `spim` since ICQ was the only game in town, like 8 years ago...aol has been fine, anyway...
