..in working days..(5 days a week have 120 hours.. and you sleep about 50 hours in this 5 days.. so you have about 70 free hours) i actually work about 35 hours, and on saturday / sunday im tolly dead. I guess it's almost impossible to work 80 hours a week, but who knows, there are people that might do that. I work only at night, from 23:00 till 7am because during the day there is always someone bugging around.
...because on 17'th of january (next day after hl2 release) there were couple of home made releases of HL2 that didn't even need inet connection to play hl2, working 100% 0.k. It had couple of problems with AI which where solved adding ai_disable 0 in autoexec.conf.
Anyway if I buy this game ill still play pritaed copy because i don't like the idea of playing SP game that requires internet connection and CD inside my drive that makes more noise than diesel cars. I have doom3 special edition and i play "RELOAdED" group warez release because it came out before i could buy the game in stores. Buying some game is like a "thank you,i like your product" to the software group. Warez makes lots of sence.. imagine you buy the game and you don't like it, but you have already paid 50 EUROs or so. Yes i know there are demos but wait.. doom3's demo was released like 1 month after retail game and hl2 doesn't have a demo too..
Well anyways all this banning and steam stuff doesn't work agaist piracy.. now all this guys that got banned will download cracked versions and will keep playing as they did before and will "hate" valve / steam even more. There is no way to fight piracy, it will always exist.
..for them to get people working @ new winamp versions and not netscape. i never understood the point of creating new netscape versions.. it's always equal to mozilla and brings stuff i already have or stuff i dont _NEED_ like AOL shitware.
First of all im quite shocked. Winamp is one of the best players out there. Ok I admit that 3rd version was crap (@ performance and stability) but new 5.0x is an excellent product. It beats iTunes by many factors, especially performance and usability. Media library is very well organized, video support is good, internet tv / radio is also usefull (even for those who want to watch free pr0n). All this comes for free. And if you pay couple of euros you can even rip cds and burn mp3 just as Nero does, but all this in one program. Anyway... i'm very disaponited, especially with AOL. God damn hippies.
Yes that's true.. it's quite big. But 800 EUR is insane.. this stores are crazy! Im ordering it from ebay next week for 450 EUR (ebay.co.uk). For 800 EUR i could buy Rentault 5 gt turbo in portugal:p
seems to have excellent photo quality for a mobile phone. It has pretty much functions from normal digital camera that makes it very usefull. SE's S700i platform is the same from K700 phone but s700 supports memory sticks. You can read a very good review here:
It seem that Sony-Ericsson's hybrid phone-pda (P900 / P910) is more powerfull than Treo 650. I don't know about SE's CPU capabilities but _AS_ hybrid-phone it's much more usefull because of touchscreen and pretty imporoved Symbian OS. You can compare by yourself.. SE P910 Treo 650
I was born in Kiev.. something like 250 - 300km from Chernobyl. Most of us were lucky cause the wind took frist radiation wave to another side... otherwise you could see Kiev dead (actual capital of Ukraine). I've seen lots of children in special hospitals tolly mutated.. not a good thing to see.. i imagined myself @ their's place.
Nuclear power is a great this once it is controlled proprelly. Now Ukrainian government is asking for $ each year for creating new shields for old reactors... bastards!
Let's see.. lot's of us make money using their DB... mostly "free" non enterprise versions. They are not getting anything with this, so they are trying to make some profit, changing their "interpretation" of GPL.
Imagine you are a webdesigner... and you really NEED to use transparent PNGs. So you have this options: Mozilla: <img src="filname.png"> IE: <img src="files/spacer.gif" border="0" style="filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader (src='filename.png')"> where spacer.gif is 1x1 blank gif file.
Carmack needs DirectX, not Direct 3D.. don't forget that directX includes directsound directinput and some networking stuff, but this last one isn't used widely. Opengl is quite better that direct3d.. lets say is easier to use and all OS compatible, even on PDAs with Opengl ES:)
I just don't get the point of patenting this kind of stuff. It will never stop anything. There will always be some incredible group of geeks in russia / china / whatever where that patents are like re-used toilet paper... and this guys will be working on new GUIs and use the ideas that are alredy patented by d34r microsoft...
Ok let's take a look... about 70% of European ISP companies are using *nix variation as theirs main OS. Main goal of Windows 2k3 was to increase its popularity amoung new ISP companies that are migrating to linux. Simple example.. let's imagine you want to open a simple hosting company.. you get some geek that understands pretty much about *nix security (there are lot's of this guys around.. and they don't ask for many $, 'cause most of them are in university..) and let's say you have to buy some application like cPanel and that's all the costs. Now imagine you want to have winblows (pardon me, winDOws) based ISP.. so.. first of all you have to buy win2k3 ((prices). Than get someone to constanty check for updates and stuff like that. Than i guess everybody know that IIS is kinda insecure, at least not that secure as apache@*nix systems... also lot's of people want to use PHP programming language to create websites, and if you take a look at php's README file you will see note like this: "Windows version is not secure.. responsibility is totally yours.", and same in apache's readme file (to be more exact: "Apache runs on these consumer Windows environments only to provide test, development or trusted intranet server platforms.").
It seem MS is pretty scared with all this linux popularity to start making campaigns that make you think windows is *TEH* best and has less vunerabilities. I dunno, i'm using linux for years and after each instalation i didn't get any msg saying that my system is going to reboot automatically after 60 seconds..
Can anyone explain me what's the point of Netscape browser? Its equal to mozilla.. (core at least) and brings soft like winamp and AOL dialers and lots of useless shit.
Let's see... once i've been developing small script in JS for adding dynamically an item do dropdown box. Tested with mozzila... works, tested with IE -> crash (i mean literraly crashed). I mean this is truly pain in the butt. If any warning would appear, it would be great, but crashing browser with some JS simple script is kinda annoying:|

Some more genetic modifications and we will see rats flying.. not only their's brain!

Heh finally you won't have to type "WWW.whatever.xxx"... just "whatever.xxx" on ANY website.
"www" is just a dummy default subdomain.
Lets patent all alphabet letters for partitions...
