  1. Re:UEFI, please read this. on UEFI Formed to Replace BIOS · · Score: 1

    Intel has donated alot of time and money to the open-source movement. Particularly stuff for desktop development.

    AMD has voiced support and donated some as well.

  2. Re:Apple on UEFI Formed to Replace BIOS · · Score: 1

    Apple probably just doesnt see why they should pay $2500 to contribute to it. Seriously, they're CHARGING for companies to contribute.

    Funny, cause Intel, AMD, HP, and DELL are all four linux supporters. Seems to me that Microsoft is the only one that is anti-linux.

    Or italian, saying as Vista is in italian word. It means "sight", which is probably why they picked it... making it "sight" to promote its new UI...

    As disturbing a concept that is, you're right. Changing a piece of code is like taking an eraser and erasing what was once stated, and writing something new (and more obscene)

    The Sims 2 is rated T for Teen instead of M for Mature. That makes is "worse". But this really just shows that this guy downloaded a nudie skin mod.

    I was actually expecting you to say something like: If not for Ken and Barbie dolls, how else will girls learn how to undress their men?

  11. Re:Hmmm on Thompson Goes After Sims 2 Nudity · · Score: 4, Insightful

    While I agree with you in the fact that a majority of these parents who are complaining need to take things into their own hands, you should really try approaching the way you say things in a calmer, less... abrasive manner. For example: Its funny how after so many season of high-rated TV shows (NYPD, Nip and Tuck, Sopranos, Hill Street Blues, The Shield, South Park, anything ever made by Aaron Spelling, Buffy, OC, and 90% of network prime time, and the News), they seem to be attacking video games. These are the things that seem to be "poisoning our youth". Things have gotten so bad that cheerleaders in gradeschool are actually being taught to dance suggestively. The parents actually ENCOURAGE this sort of behavior. The parents are also buying their kids video games (like San Anreas) without even paying attention to what it is. It seems to me that parents today want the government to raise their kids, and want no part in their upbringing whatsoever. I personally think that the government needs to lessen restrictions, and put some responsibility on the parents for a change.

  12. Attack on barbies? on Thompson Goes After Sims 2 Nudity · · Score: 3, Funny

    I have the feeling, based on his barbie and ken comments towards the end, that he is going to attack the entire Barbie line next. No, its not a bloody admission that "ken and barbie features" shouldn't be displayed, its put there for comical value. Its funny to see things blurred out.

  13. Re:Limited options on Google and Microsoft Lob More Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    And as such, one may find it useful to bring up the monopoly allogations and show that Microsoft is simply trying to shut out the competition. Since MS is involved in nearly every single tech-related field (gaming, software, even limited hardware now), that non-compete agreement would limit him far too much than is fair.

  14. Re:If he signed on Google and Microsoft Lob More Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    Ya, about as Ironclad as their OS. -eye roll- Microsoft's lawyers are really very horrible lawyers. They have a very poor track record. I wouldn't be surprised if they have the same people representing them as SCO does.

  15. Re:Follow the money on Google's Share of Searches Falling? Or Increasing? · · Score: 1

    Similarly, if the one saying Google is increasing was funded by Google's competitors, they wasted their money. Also, if the one saying Google is decreasing was funded by Google, they wasted their money as well.

    Ok, but your cube fridge is a) insulated, b) cooling an enclosed space, and your "coolerator" is a) not insulated, b) trying to cool a much larger space.

    Supposedly, the FCC is looking at cutting that cost significantly by working with the local PUD to have them lay the cables, essentially for free.

  25. Wait a minute... on Microsoft Sues Google For Hiring MS Exec · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Since when can a company control whether or not you get to get another job? Could this mean that companies could FORBID you from ever getting another job? Or at least prevent you from getting another job for a longer period of time? I'm asking because some companies might use this as "incentive" to keep people from quitting, particularly game programmers who are overworked and frankly, underpaid.
