  1. Re:Xbox 360 Flop? on Sony May Delay PS3 Until 2007 · · Score: 1

    (like it says 20th Century Fox is on the board, what do they know about hardware?).
    Hey, there must be some reason for Fox to kill all good SciFi shows. Maybe the shows started revealing too much about Fox's 2020 christmas lineup?

  2. Re:Useful, but ramifications on Fiber Optics Bring the Sun Indoors · · Score: 1

    Why the hell would I want shining floors?

    No, no, no. Thank our good friends at *AA for this. :)

    Well, combine "movie critics" with their acclaimed technology and do the math!

  5. Re:If the EA suits were paying ANY attention at al on EA Faced With Another Employee Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    I think quotes such as this gives you a more complete picture as well:
    Their case argues that EA's engineers "do not perform work that is original or creative," that they do not have management responsibilities and are seldom allowed to use their own judgement, according to extracts published by SiliconValley.com.

  6. Re:I never agree to it... on Man Finds $1,000 Prize in EULA · · Score: 1

    Hmm, why don't you just remove the EULA, or replace it with the GPL (or BSD) and then sue the company for not providing source?

    Isn't the clauses for not tampering with the binaries in the EULA itself, so do I do anything illegal by modifying them?

    Hmm, sometimes I wished that I lived in the US so I could try it out... Would be fun...

  7. Re:It's 8 frickin' grand... on Korg's New Keyboard Powered by Linux · · Score: 1

    So long story short, a bit of experience with korg products :) I still stick by my statement, regardles of what Roland and Alesis are doing -- huge synths are the *past*.
    It seems so. :)
    I don't however think that workstations belong to the past. As long as the big companies keep creating new workstations and keep making money off them, they'll keep belonging to the present.
    What do you think is the future (and the present)?

  8. Re:It's 8 frickin' grand... on Korg's New Keyboard Powered by Linux · · Score: 1

    Then could you please explain what the Roland V-Synth V2 and Alesis FusionSynth or others are?
    And what's this Korg Electribe series about?
    Just curious. By the way, what 10 Korg products do you own? My only piece of Korg gear is an Poly62.

  9. Re:XSL is not XSL-FO on Printing XML: Why CSS Is Better than XSL · · Score: 1

    Oh, so about two others use it as well? (Sorry, couldn't stop myself.)

  10. Re:XML/XHTML as a layout language? on Printing XML: Why CSS Is Better than XSL · · Score: 1

    Well, you could take a look at Scribus.
    Even though it's nowhere near InDesign as features, imho, but if it does what you need, then there you go.
    (One of the bigger limitiations is the lack of Windows version, which stumped me last time I needed a DTP application.)

  11. Re:Google is pretty unique. on Independent Developer Projects in the Workplace? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So what do they say about your happy bonzai buddy? Or what about other 'fun' spyware?

    So wouldn't Firefox help all of you enforce that policy?

    (I'm wondering, could you get fired for junk installed against your will, thanks to IE?)

  12. Re:Naaah! on Linux Getting Harder To Crack · · Score: 1

    No, of course not. If you want new games, buy a console - it's cheaper and never needs to have anything reinstalled.
    Just a scary thought I just had, given that most next-gen gamingconsoles will be delivered with a ethernet port, how long do you think it'll take the crackers to start taking advantage of it?
    How long until you have to have a dedicated firewall to dare plug in your xbox 2, ps3 or revolution?

  13. Re:Actually no.... on Four New Unpatched Windows Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    Try upgradeing XP Home to XP Pro with SP2 installed in Home using a Pro SP1 CD, it'll helpfully stop you before you do something dumb.
    What? So it won't allow the upgrade?

  14. Re:Another leveling factor on Game Industry Bigger Than Hollywood · · Score: 1

    Oh, I've done it.
    First both the original Monkey Island 1 & 2, and then later the CD edition with both.

    Last time was Beyond Good & Evil, first for PS2 and then for PC.
    All games really deserved it.

  15. Re:Bleh on Game Industry Bigger Than Hollywood · · Score: 1

    Sequels or not, i expected th S&M and FT sequels to be QUALITY products, not rehashes. That would be something new for a change. AFAIK the FT sequel got canned for not passing their own quality control. I can't find anything better then this reference though.
    (Hmm, why can't I find the official press releases on LucasArts site?)
    If this is true or not is another story, however I 'm still pissed off about Sam 'n' Max 2 though...

  16. Re:Read the Scratchware Manifesto: on Game Industry Bigger Than Hollywood · · Score: 1

    Yes, and this is true for some games. The whole truth however is much, much bigger than that.

    For an informed analysis of how much an adventure game actually costs, take a look at this.

    Some games costs alot of money to make. Can you imagine GTA:San Andreas getting developed in someones spare time? (And don't say Grandtheftendo .)

    I do however think that the industry should try to remember the game as well as the assets...

    Yes, and where is GOD today?

  18. Re:It's spelled "principle", dufus on Examining Bittorrent · · Score: 1

    Isn't it just possible that the guy happens to have an opinion that differs with yours? Frankly, I'm getting tired of people here resorting to this kind of petty "attack" every time someone disagrees with them.

    Could you please apply this to your own sig? I don't know if it's your opinion or not, but personally I don't really care, it the little black and white thingies that's the reason for me to read ./.

    How about clicking on the livecd link here http://www.reactos.com/en/content/view/full/62 and run it? Worked like a charm on mine. I was just stumped for something to do with it...

  20. Re:A little introverted on the details on Router Wars · · Score: 1

    The JUNOS software that ran on Juniper routers was more reliant than some of the problems with Ciscos Internet Operating System (IOS) software.
    No no no, what he meant to say was exactly what he wrote;
    The Juniper's OS is more reliable than Cisco's problems (i.e. bugs?).
    I guess that means that either Cisco implemented the necessery functions as bugs/problems, or that JUNOS works in the same way Cisco don't.

    I'm still confused though...

    Oh, and finally, to answer the most obvious question about this mosaic: I don't know who she is; honestly, I just grabbed the picture off the web.
    Boy will she be suprised if (when seems too optimistic) she found herself on his wall!
