"Thankfully, the field is being revolutionised by people like Richard Stallman..."
Oh please, he's the one who invented the GPL (General parasitic license) which gives him ownership of all software even if he didn't write it. It's because of the GPL that Windows keeps getting viruses that send the Windows source code from your computer to hackers systems over the internet using an underground (highly secretive) technique called P2P, which stands for pilferer to pilferer.
Is it any shock that there are so many errors in a book about a game that allows dimwits to create Lord of the Ring ripoffs where goblins carrying 1000 gold-pieces per, guard the lair of Medusa and a 10,000 year-old lich husband and wife?
At the beginning of Jedi Rocks you can clearly hear Sy Snootles' voice while her microphone is still being heald at her side! Clearly evidence that she is jaggarm-synching. -m
I wait with baited breath for incomprehensible reports from those noble explorers concerning the ancient plateau city of Leng just east of the Mountains of Madness, built eons ago by the Great Old Ones on the very spot where they first infected our planet.
I don't think that Star Wars and visceral belong in the same breath. Isn't this the movie with the quote:
The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.
" I think we've all missed the point. I think Lucas is playing a little game.."
It's called making money. Jebus it's not like the guy is keeping food from starving people; it's just Star Wars. He is selling a commodity that for whatever whacky reason people have decided is worth shelling out absurd amounts of money for, given seemingly minor changes from one iteration to the next. If you're pissed off about it, then stop buying the different versions and perhaps he will finally sell something worthwhile when he discovers that his tricks no longer work. I realize that it's difficult to live knowing that there is a new special effect added that might add a slightly different angle to the Star Wars lore, so go ahead and spend your money on it. Maybe the next version will have a scene where Chewbacca says "RRRRAAAALLLLWWWW" instead of "RRRAAALLLLLGGG".
I've had my say. (as I sit back and wait for the flames about how Chewbacca would never say "RRRAAALLLLLGGG" because his dialect of Wookiese doesn't have such a term)
And let me be the first to welcome our new alien overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted/. personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground mineral caves.
I really dislike the server pricing scheme as a home user. Yeah yeah yeah. I realize the Apple viewpoint of "why would home users need server software"? (I've asked them) But as a person who would like a single license for my G5 with a couple FreeBsd and Windows nodes, $500 for 10 licenses doesn;t work for me. It's unfortunate.
In a related note, is it possible to acquire certain server extensions (Blojsom or Jabber for example) and plug them into Tiger proper?

"the ability to have files in more than one folder simultaneously"
Is it just me.. or do all OSes do this? I have thousands of files, all in different places, all at the same time... right now.

I guess his cries of "Lightning Bolt! Lightning Bolt! Lightning Bolt!" were fruitless, therefore he had no choice but to turn to cold steel.
"So, basically, the auxillary processors are 20-40 times faster, more powerful, and have the same ROM size as the main processor."
This is the make the interface "snappier".

So I guess that means that Kerry got the second most votes than any American in history.
