I've heard that too often from people bashing Linux..
I'm typing this on a well used linux box right now.
What most people seem to forget, is that whatever fantastic technology Haiku develops will be fed-back and cloned into a linux distribution. With that thought in mind, what happens when Linux runs out of OS's to assimilate?
In all seriousness though, I realise that's not true... I'd imagine linux tech will be ported back into Haiku etc (and it has been)
You people here should know far better than to call anything a toy OS... just be grateful alternatives are still around, without each other none of this would exist.
We would be interfacing with msnTV, from an xbox style console - downloading a rented OS from a protected image every morning.
why do you think virii/trojans amongst torrents have shot up? Because their geeky friends aren't willing to fucking help them after they've had their first hit
I totally appreciate your point of view... but I can hear management right now..
"That's fine, we still have India"
70% of Toca 3's cars were outsourced to India....
The [sad] truth is, no matter how unwilling you are to do something, there will always be someone grateful for it, even if they are getting paid 3x+ less than you.
I feared this day coming, and the truth is under current laws etc, anything that can be outsourced WILL be outsourced, and what are but a few ones and zeros?:-/
I think that's more due to the fact pc gamers are used to having their own realestate when it comes to screens:P and that MOST PC gamers dont have their machine hooked up to their TV (their console is)
was there ever a PC game that *required* more than one gfx card? no? didnt think so...
BTW, try playing GTA IV on the PC... for that crippled console port you need a 1.5k cluster farm of PCs
As before not too long ago, once the consoles start to show their age (which is round about this or next year) and neither Sony nor MS plan on revising theirs soon (they practically bankrupt themselves with them previously)... PC gaming will rise from the ashes.
how traditional? Up until the likes of Microsoft software WAS a service, written, mostly open and customized for its needs, Microsoft invented the software binary blob in a tin category... which is like a bad addictive drug.
At the very worst companies provided the option of source code, if you were willing to pay more.
point is you never bought the product... you only licensed it...
How long is the license? as long as the media lasts?
They either sold you it... or leased it..
NOT BOTH!
Which is why I've not bought media since napster died.
If you want to buy your albums again and again and again just because they think that they can gouge money out a new format - that is your problem, not mine.
it took me a wee while to catch on to yir lingo and actually until after Aaxelb explained the sentence before I realised what was being talked abooot.
But what do I know I'm Scottish... here the only things that buck are rabbits and deer:) I really thought an 'of' was missing someplace. I'm guessing the first statement however is also missing either a comma or colon with the number?
so ha ha fucking ha all you people saying "And no monitor included? No printer function either?" but the reality of it all is they just don't want to cannibalize their current switches.
Truth is, I had a netgear gigabit switch.... and I managed to fry it AFTER a thunderstorm by plugging the power of the adsl router into the switch by accident http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/DG834Gv1.asp
Its one of the older models that required a higher voltage than the poor switch:(
That was one or two years ago now... and I've been dying to replace it with gigabitE again but I cant help but feel Netgear (and the rest) will shortly replace the crappy 10/100 hub with gigabitE
Look at the above products... really? how hard would it be? I'd really rather not have to go back to two devices... and I'm sure if I did right now I'd get burned lol
Slashdot Mirror
to run scripts selectively ....
Which I do, and with no script the way I have... *shrugs* the little extra hassle is worth all the benefits!
also makes it more difficult for viruses/virii (whatever) and trojans to propagate .....
It might be security through obscurity but you still have to find code to run on the fucker.
the BSOD is the fatality move...
pffft isos...

damn good product? ha ha you are hilarious,
I tip my hat to you sir:)
If they'd broken up the OS and office suite into separate entities I believe everyone would have gained in the long run (inc MS)
I'd suggest splitting up the console side too... but you wouldn't want the xbox to go bankrupt now would you?
eh?

you'll get all the asteroid clones you ever wanted...
I'm going to guess you're referring to what happened the last time... did anyone EVER buy E.T?
"but if every company did exactly the same thing our industry would collapse overnight under the weight of it's own mediocrity."
the sad reality is that it already has at least twice.
the NES brought them out the last hole... who will bring them out the next?
Atari was one of the biggest culprits the last time where are they now?
where does it say that?
you could say the same about Windows on bootcamp/vmware
including humans.

Maybe the courts are a little extreme ....
Personally I'd just take them outside and make them hand open the same amount of envelopes as they spammed ...
And if they fail - shoot them.
Just like it is helping to curb e-mail spam ....
I hate to tell you hunnie but didn't you get the memo saying that most books were out of print 5 years later these days?

sure, the handful few superstars would feel the pinch (relate to music industry)
But the MAJORITY of artists would not notice the difference.
"You know, the guy who actually invaded several of the countries we're talking about here?"
What does G W Bush have to do with it? /hides

1 Buck a scoop: Chinese food
meh, fook it!
IANAL but, In the UK they cant write you out of something you are legally entitled to....
question is, are we legally entitled to a class action? hmmmm
The sad thing is ... USA would never attack China... Would never support Taiwan, and would never return to N Korea...
BUT... the Question is, would China take that bet? and is there any oil where China is likely to invade?
America, as long as they are backwards we can bomb them further back.
Face it, if America had any interests outside of its own greed S. Africa & Congo would be showering you all in thanks.
oh come on... how hard would it be to add a gigabitE switch to this?

its not exactly fricking rocket science.
