  2. To late on Half-Life 2 Ship Date Confirmed · · Score: 0

    It has been to late. i am not wasting my money on this, Halo2 and GTA is coming out. HL2 you should have released it early....or not made such a bogus anouncement that is was coming out 2 years ago...

  4. TVLAND is coming...calm down. on Cable HDTV Not Ready For Primetime? · · Score: -1, Redundant
    What! No volume control? Nope, the digital audio output is not controllable from the cable remote. Sorry, if you want to control the volume, you'll have to settle for the analog audio outputs. Well, I didn't really want digital audio anyway ... so, a quick switch and ...


    Anyone that spent that kind of money on a tv and those bose speakers, do they still use the TW remote. Throw me a bone, man. If you are going to lay $6000 on a tv, buy a professional remote and a skirt.

    Have you ever watched football on Saturday or Sunday, HBO or Showtime? Those channels are awesome. I am sure TVLAND will be HDTV soon, just wait dude. There are problems with the box and the problems were stated by timewarner. HDTV is still not ready, but the problems this guy complains about have nothing to do with HDTV being ready, it has to do with TW box.

    Please dont spread FUD and stop other people from investing. I mean I cannot watch Football unless it is HD, ESPNHD....I mean what is there really worth watching other than sports and HBOHD/ShowtimeHD shows.
  5. Yup, everyone out to get him on Green Party Candidate David Cobb Answers Your Questions · · Score: 0

    The "war on drugs" is racist and an insult to all Americans. This "war" has incarcerated people of color at a much higher rate than white people. It has resulted in senseless attacks on innocent people and on our Constitution. We have to treat drug addiction as a health problem, not as a crime. That is just a dumb comment. I am addicted to tobacco. Should americas or my BCBS pay for it. Hell no, it is an addiction. That means I am doing this to myself. I am trying my hardest to quit. But show someone else pay for my weakness, no.

    As far as the war on drug being racist, I would say that is pretty stupid. That is like saying hockey is racist. Racist, is a term you cannot just throw around. I have heard this comment many times, I think BET is racist, I think Rainbow Coalition is racist, I think I could point at a lot of things and say they are racist but that does not make it true.Dont spread FUD....seems no one learns this lesson. Unless this guy has talked to some judges, juries, and lawyers and they all said they are racist...well then maybe we could say that.

    I am independent, but if this is what the green party believes, to hell with ya. I dont need any parnoid party with delsuions. I am voting for dubya this year....I would vote for kerry before I would vote against him....that joker cracks me the hell up...

    I wish they would hurry the hell up. After watching the NFL games last year. I cannot imagine watching any sporting event not in HDTV.

    Hurry the hell up, I switched to XM because of regular radio bullshit. Analog tv signals is more or less just crap. If you have never seen it, goto a HDTV on sunday and watch a football game. Man, I love sundays..beer, chips, and football. Good stuff.

  9. Re:Use it at home on Best Training in Linux Administration? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I agree. Remember a lot of us, have migrated to Linux and Windows is that werid OS that does not make sense to us. I think a class can get you grounded, but like anything you will have to teach and learn yourself. The class can show you the goaline, but you got 11 players that are comming after that ball. Run forest...run.

    He just spreads fud, like SCO. The guy had one great doc, and with his celibratity image he spreads lies to promote his own agenda. When he was on Oreilly his true colors shown.

    Follow the timeline of bowling for colombie(sp?), it is out of order and uses tricks of the camera. I dont agree with Pearl Jam's politics(greatest band ever), however these guys have been rockin the vote for years. He needs to do something like that...not blow smoke. You cannot spread fud and except people to believe...the media has made that clear with their bias newsshows....but that is just what I think.

    I say let him broadcast it, America will still vote W in with a landslide victory. Kerry does not stand a chance, because he does bring uncertaintly to the oval office, america wants stability. U are either for terrorism or you against...u cannot ride the fence, like Kerry.

    Just vote, most people dont get this priviledge that alot of Americans take for granted...it is not god given, it is a right.

  12. Re:Some of the changes (possible spoilers) on Star Wars on DVD · · Score: 0

    Dont forget 2010. It was changed because of Europa was found. Because it is still one of our best chances for life, other than the blue marble. But, clarke wrote the change down on the very first page and informed the fans,why the change was bad. Some changes are good, but changes like the greedo shot change the characters involved. Han lost some of his rebel edge. Stephen King also rewrote some of the Dark Tower series, I like the changes he made...he cleaned up some of questions readers had. Because the Tower is all consumping..it is everything and everytime. King also informed the reader why he made changes...he did not just say figure it you....quarters... King loves the quarters. I think authors or creators should do this, most are young when their great works are created and their dream of that universe is not fully realized until they are much older. But dont change the story, just add to it. Authors, just remember Greedo scene...dumb is all I can say.

    Yup, the guy is a joke. I thought his argument lacked any real sense of order. I mean a lot of just I did this, I seen this, people are idiots because they are not changing the world. I mean he stuck it out there to flame, but I think his writing did all the flaming for me. Anyone that gets mad at other people are not doing great things with their lives, has their own issues. Geez man, cry on someone elses shoulder. He even posted his email, well goodluck cleaning that box out. I mean not to long ago people were afraid of cars, or anything this is a drastic change....who knows if the free software model will work...it might. Who knew what the internet would do? It changed everything.

    Open software is coming, only 280 million(give or take a hundren million) people in US. Once China and India move to open software, the US wil have to catch up. It is all in the numbers. Closed source will still be around, but not quite as powerfully as it once was.

    I mean how do people like Darl sleep at night. I guess I am just to honest and have to much pride in being a human, an American human at that. I mean this guy surely knows that he is just spreading FUD. Does this guy have a family? How can you look them in the eye, when you just lie and try and pump your stock like that(no offense to lawyers, it is part of your job description I know). Well, what comes around goes around. Being a liar or spreading lies and FUD, will bite you in the ass sooner or later. A little karma never hurt nobody.

  15. Re:Degrees vs Non-Degrees on Fewer Computer Science Majors · · Score: 0

    There are a lot of things to consider. First off, if you somehow manage to get experience in programming without a BS in something computer related than that is the first step and getting that next job which is usually not that hard if you have programming experience. So, the degree does not matter so much in that regard. Experience is more important almost always, but getting your foot in the door is damn hard.

    It is that first job that is tough and having a Master degree in CS has really nothing to do with programming, unless this was what their focus was on. There is about a 1000 areas to specialize in.
    Anyone with a CS degree will tell you that CS is this:
    50% math
    30% theory
    20% programming. A CS has nothing to do with programming, they just teach you the basic and theory, the rest is up to you.

    Most people who know what they are good at dont need degrees, just like the NBA, NFL, or anything else that is specialize, even car salesmen. You have to practice what you learn, classes are just classes. You have to apply it for four years getting that degree. Being smart never hurts, maybe the guy that went to MIT is just to damn smart and only acheive half of what he could have. MIT degree are worth more than Some state university, and that is matter of fact.But you cannot buy happiness, so who am to judge.

    So to sum up, yea degrees dont help in the long run, but college was the best 4 years of my life. Drunk mostly....and you cannot beat college girls. So, to all those think that college is not where they want to learn about CS, rethink it because you will have the time of your life. Being a college students will be the best decision you ever make...it is damn fun...oh yea girls and beer. What more could you want...unless you are girl CS person.

  16. Re:I'm out of it on NVIDIA Gives Details On New GeForce 6 · · Score: 0

    AGP is basically a direct line to cpu, just like memory, that is why it is faster than PCI. PCIx just doubles the lanes, instead of single lane road, you got two lanes, I think that is basicly it. I think it went from 16 bits to 32 bits or it might be 32 bits to 64 bits, the later seems more logical.
