The BBC would be more likly to use Dirac, being that they came up with it... It's open source and can be used along with Ogg Vorbis;) Theora looks great and all, but as long as it's in an open source codec I don't care which...
I strongly agree on the point of story sucking in MMORPGs... It's why I've never been that interested in playing one for more than a couple weeks. It's not really an RPG at all...it's just an overgrown chat room. That said, I don't think single player is the only place a story can thrive, it's just easier there;)...people have been playing multiplayer RPGs for years with good stories, it's called tabletop D&D. It's just a lot harder for you to put a good multiplayer story in a videogame.
Fun should always be the number one priority in a video game, but most people seem to forget that these days... Everyone's too obsessed with graphics and celebrity voice overs to remember that gameplay and fun come first. I'm happy Katamari ever got any press at all in the first place:) This new one looks very intersting (again)...
Wrong yet again...these people don't want Windows or Linux or even Mac. They simply want a computer that they can use to do their daily activities and work on. Depending on what you do with the computer, Linux can be just as easy if not more so than Windows, and vica-versa. If we can just get more software companies supporting Linux, more people will want it. People don't buy Windows for Windows' sake, they buy it for the software that runs on Windows.
I do seriously wonder what's the point of such a service? To make people feel good about themselves by being told they have lots of friends or will it be used as a security messure to make sure it's not just a spambot trying to add you to their buddy list? That might actually be useful...
Does the US government even make $39 Billion a year??? That's just too much money for one company to be making no matter whether you like their products or not...
There's nothing left nor right about what's going on these days. Don't turn it in to that.
There was just recently a woman in the press tried for not giving up a source in a trial for one example. Now quite a few newspapers and such are being careful about the stories they run out of fear of the government taking their journalists to trial too. But I'm not going to try here and sway you 'cause I doubt you'll even honestly listen to anything I say without just jumping and making a fuss like you already have.
But there shouldn't be a fine for it. This should be dictated by the industry and consumers, not the government. The only fines they should have to pay is people not buying their game if they don't like what's in it...
Exactly...most Christians' keep their views and opinions to themselves. It's the outrageous zealots that go acting like idiots in front of the press, and now it seems people think that's how we all are. Even an atheist would probably be against their kids playing GTA if they knew what really went on in it.
" How does changing the rating from 17 years old to 18 years old take away your freedom?"
You've got to look at the big picture. The GTA thing isn't that big a deal in the scope of things but it's just another rock being thrown on the mountain of other things. Freedom of expression and freedom of the press are in serious danger right now in almost every country. Look it up...
That's the problem though is these scandals do mean something whether or not this flaimbait article thinks so or not... We are living in a very dangerous time and most people aren't even aware of it thanks to the mainstream media. Our rights have been tip-toeing right out the door for years now, and one day we're going to wake up in a very limitted world. The US has been having this happen a lot, but other countries aren't escaping it either. We've got to fight for every personal freedom we still have left and all these "scandals" are seriously threatening our right to free expression in art/media.
This might be possible for the N-Gage if it were an open platform that other phone companies used, but by it only being in certain Nokia phones the likelihood of that happening is pretty low...
Until then, just use Mirrordot. Although, one could argue that this guy wasn't really thinking things through by not posting it as a torrent to begin with... Of course someone's gonna post a cool ass robot like that all over the net!
If you look back, the FCC was originally created to regulate the airwaves because there is a limited amount of channels that can exist and people didn't want to waste them on things that most don't want. With cable/satalite/internet the number of channels available is unlimitted so they have no place in regulating them.
Not sure if you were being sarcastic or not there...could have gone either way with the porn statement. But I for one was pretty happy to hear his views on "indecency" in the article:)
For those too lazy, he thinks parents need to be the main force in regulating what they're children watch, although I'm not sure what to think on his cable/satalite views. They should offer the ability to get rid of certain channels if you don't want them though...I know that filthy HGTV would be gone in a heartbeat with my account;)
I think I was a little vague there... just to clarify it's the other services, not Comcast, that cost more yet offer slower service. And don't get me wrong...I don't want Comcast having a monopoly any more than I want any other company...but it's not a bad service and a better price than the other guys (where I live, Mississippi).
Yes, CC copylefts are alot easier to decifer than the GPL for example... However, copyright law doesn't need to be simple, there are numerous ways to use it, so it should be fairly complex to handle them all. Is he just dissing on CC or all open source licenses I DFLRTFA (Don't Feel Like RTFA)?

That said... free/open source software can be worth much more than pay/proprietary software ;)
:P

I've heard there are a few geeks who do know pretty well what divorce is because of their MMORPG addictions ;)

Makes me think of Sumomo
It appears he's running Windows for image recognition in the video, so probably not :(
Until then, just use Mirrordot. Although, one could argue that this guy wasn't really thinking things through by not posting it as a torrent to begin with... Of course someone's gonna post a cool ass robot like that all over the net!
crazy...I live in Hattiesburg too. Check out my personal page ;)

I pay $45 a month for Comcast and it's faster than any of the other services in my town (but they cost more).
I always thought high quality writing was what got you the hits, but the world just keeps getting weirder and weirder...
