Doesn't freeze on me every other day? Faster rendering? Faster loading?
Oh wait, those are all features of IE over Firefox. That said, I still use Firefox cuz tabbed browsing is key.
Do you use Dreamweaver professionally or in a commercial way (i.e. non-hobbyist). If so, you're one of the pirates that most people hate and deserve to get sued. If not, well... you wouldn't have made the comment.

Flash Games
Are you joking that there's no benefit to Flash? Most of us have moved away from plain ASCII stuff a while ago and moved into the wide-world of GUIs, movies, and graphical games.
I used to get a BSOD when playing a certain game, which I'm assuming is caused by the laptop overheating. It would blue screen, give an IRQ_LESS_THAN or something like that error, and then reboot. Constantly.
Also, I just met someone who has a top-of-the-line Alienware with some insane stats and STILL upon loading Doom 3 or loading a saved game of Doom 3, he will get a BSOD. It happens every other time, REGULARLY.
Yes, I have. These are stories from XP:

I haven't acted smug about anything. Your assumptions and ignorance has now irked me as you start attacking me personally. You don't know a thing about me, yet you assume I'm an idiot. It just pisses me off.
What you said about attraction has NOTHING at all to do with this conversation. You don't have a clue what I've done, what classes I've taken, what I've learned outside of school, yet you assume I'm some idiot geek who knows nothing of life or love.
How exactly do you know I failed to apply myself to the subject matter? Eh, what's that? You don't? You're making blatant assumptions? Really... that doesn't surprise me. I'm not even going to bother explaining how you're wrong, you don't deserve it after this.
I'd say give yourself fifteen years, but I doubt your opinion would change because you won't be going through school again anytime soon. Did you miss that entire thing about when a teacher of the year spoke out against the US school system because it is just that terrible?
And what happens when you are already smart going into school? They try to dumb you down to match the norm.
When I was in elementary school, I had taken math three years ahead of my grade (1st grade, 4th grade, 2nd grade, 5th grade), but when I hit 3rd grade, we got the option of learning an instrument. For whatever reason, the school decided I could only do advanced math or music. I chose music and was consequently forced to sleep through classes that I already knew for the next... many years. I think the next time I was challenged in math was in 8th grade, starting Algebra for the first time.
Consequently, that gave me a terrible view of the school system which I hated up until the day I graduated with a miserable GPA. Now, I'm going to a "vocational" school to get a Bacehlor's of Game Design and Development. Going to learn what you love isn't something terrible, but you still need your general education with it, which is why most universities require genereal education classes. My first two classes at school (Full Sail, btw) are General Design Fundamentals (about designing games) and Behavioral Science. So, it's not like I'll only be learning about game programming, but that is the ultimate goal/focus of the program.
I and a friend had been porting a board game to PC (referenced in my sig) and we had thought about open sourcing it (and still continue to do so), but we're unsure of the problems with patents and copyrights and such. Also, we had always planned on eventually trying to sell it to the company that manufactures the board game (because we're not trying to steal their customers, it's just something that would make a great computer game). If they didn't want it, we'd release it for free.
Does anyone have any info on what we'd need to know about making it open source, as to any copyrights the company that makes the board game (Fantasy Flight Games) owns and whether it could still be a commercial success while being open source? I also would have liked it to work under WINE (it uses HGE, which uses DirectX), but for some reason BASS.dll, the sound system, crashes under my friend's WINE.
Also, to check out stuff on the game, here's a post with a screenshot and trying to gather some help for the project. The company's page for Twilight Imperium talks about their new third edition, but since all we had played was the second edition, that's what we based it on.
How exactly is this off topic? Considering the article didn't say it was for the PS3 (as the other posters have told me), and I am talking about the damn topic... thanks, my head a splode because of the mods idiocy.
I'm guessing the registration info is fake. If the owner was in the US, why is the phone number in non-US standard? Not to mention using a Russian e-mail address.

Not 150 megs for me, but way too much. Usually between 60-70MB depending on number of tabs I've previously had open.

When exactly is the last time you've been in a US public school? If you think education is the main thing going on, you are very deluded.
Why do you assume that I'm not educated? Do you think learning must go on in schools or that schools are indeed the best place for learning?

Flamebait mods here are an example of typical Slashdot mentality of "Mod/Post First, RTFA Later."
Sorry, but I don't believe it is.
Congrats to you and the mod who decided you were insightful to not understand the concept of an analogy.
I feel ya brothah. I just started college, and I expect I'll be seeing enough red soon enough.

Thanks.
What in the fuck are you talking about?
Hrm. I'm not sure what to say to that, besides you're right, mostly.
I reiterate, you disgusting fucking troll, you are a disgrace to humanity. As such, you'll hear nothing else from me. I hope you die, you racist.

They won't get sued over this. They would have been sued over the Scientology post. If it doesn't effect their bottom line, they don't care.
You are a disgrace to humanity.
It is fucking abuse when the child is damaged because of it. I can't believe I'm hearing this.
