The intuitive controls and memorable gameplay of Halo's multiplayer
What the fuck? no, quake 2 pwns halo. Yes it does.
Just because xbox owners were desperate to validate thier purchase, stop humping the leg of a fairly wishywashy fps.
And why are you saying PC gamers have fucking tosserish frog accents?
I shit through your letterbox, fiend.
OK I lied about it not being a troll/flame, but seriously, you xbox owners, how can you say halo was the bag of mixed sex juices from googles top ten female searches?
I PLAYED HALO and gave it a damn chance... it was more like felching rabbit jism out of goatse.
OK, this post contained a goatse ref., time for the troll modifier!:-) seriously halo sucks.
You could use google pagerank for plan usa, plan usa has a link to give.org... you could google both of these and find out if a larger company is linking to them (amazon or bbc).
There you go. Don't forget, always donate anonymously and in private, why advertise your generosity, that is like buying a service, rather than donating charitably.
Go to av.com, google.com, amazon.com and look for the organisation that they recommend.
Basically, trust comes not through computing, but through inplied trust.
You trust google to know which companies to link to.
Of course, a centralised website should exist that gives an easy API for charities to take donations, give feedback, be accountable and of course, this should be government run, and be worldwide, and have the IRS (the only people you can really trust when it comes ot money, and by IRS I mean the inland revenue of your country) poking at it with a big stick.
that is my opinion. for now, look at av.com and donate to thier link button.
She added: "Independent software vendors may have to reconsider the way they do business, and in particular the way they roll out new software to customers."
I think she meant to say:
She added: "Independent software vendors may have to reconsider doing business, and in particular the way they make new software, perhaps they should just crumble under the weight of patent law and become resellers for larger firms?."
Dyson patented his cyclone technology for his vacuum invention. good.
He almost ran out of money twice when hoover copied him twice and deliberately tried to cut off his balls twice
(how do I real-life killfile hoover? mmm, a pda app that does company holdings lookups on bar code scans and warns you why you dont want to support them.... mmmmmmmmm nice)... hoover have thier money in a lot of pots. It'd be nice to steer clear of them. en-masse.
Not that I am domestically inclined, but <s>hoovering</s> vacuuming (cycloning?) is one thing I am for, and I regularly clean my motherboard this way (oh... and my room) anyway, not to stray too far off topic... Dyson was a case for and against patents.
A hoover patent for belly button fluff could never be contested by anyone = hoover because of money.
If patents were granted in a sane way, instead of just making shit loads of money, then people could use them to defend against bigger corps, and bgger corps couldn't shovel sandbag patents around thier corner of a market.
Also, a patent should be registered with a timelimit to make a move on it. to stop this company who is trying to sue dell for 'selling overseas on the internet' which is a premise (or a method, solution or something) that they developed.
Microsoft have given up on being a monopoly, they are letting the USPTO do it for them. And some lawyers with girly pony tails (Yes Schwartz, I said girly)
So while I see Dyson as a mixed case, I think software patents will never ever come to the aid of a little guy.
The problem is, are they really going to be steam rollered in? Isn't there some kind of pan-european IT union? Should there be?
Has the BCS (brit.comp.soc) done anything? doubt it.
Give some details on this guys patent, maybe/. can find prior art to help make the US invasion a little less easy for them (by US I mean just the nasty patent stuff! keep exporting your fast food and k3wl choons!) hahah just kidding, we are one big happy family here on/.
kinda works I get a 'no news articles' found footer, but hey, google ain't perfect, still lets me have more fun when I search.
Also adblocked blogads.com:-) (wildcard *blogads*)
Now, I have an itch, I want to configure my google search plugin - I know there is the website that has a list of these search plugins, I am sure that I can scratch this fairly easily and post up an update when you can download a google killfile that operates from your firefox/kmeleon/mozilla search toolbar.
They were invented not because of any type of ceiling height excess, but because the distance from the walls were too far to channel and cable around lots of annoying things.
You basement, forget the ceiling height, that is oh so redundant.
Are you going to have more than 10 PC towers plugged in at seatable desks? (and that is still a low return on investment).
If you room isn't being planned to fit 5/6 desks and some central desks that do not have easy wall access, then I think the idea of a floor installation is laughable.
Once again: unless you *need*, and by need I mean you understand the reasoning behind raised floor 'stalls, them for a purpose, why bother?
Also there is a new technology just around the corner, I mean, like maybe in 20-50 years, called WiFi, I think that is what it is called, i am sure I was googling for something unrelated and an engadget page with info on it popped up (WHATEVER I search for on google I end up with an FUCKING engadget page showing in the results, weblogs inc shoudl be sued for aggressively poisoning google. fucktards).
Shit, I lost track of parenthesis, this started out as an insightful post, I don't know where it ended up.
Mr. Hastings anticipates that it will be 2010, if not 2015, before a lot of the movie-watching public is downloading films over the Internet. Mr. Hastings is convinced that the same features that draw people to his DVD rental service will induce them to use his service to download digitally delivered movies. Netflix has devoted millions of dollars to building an easily navigated Web site while it refines a complex software system that recommends movies based on customer ratings.
So in 10 years yes I can see video on demand in a living room. So netflix is saying that they are having an advantage of having a better website in 10 years.
Last time I checked, Amazon had bought a little site called imdb... seems popular. But imdb != netflix site, it is really encyclopedic, are we going to see imdb overhauled to give online rental and finally downloads of the movies?
"If we differentiate the Web site well enough, with rating histories and other features consumers want, that's our strategic leverage" once people start receiving movies via the Internet, Mr. Hastings said.
In addition, blockbuster says its bricks and mortar free pass with the cheaper delivery rental (thier business plan really was 'start posting dvd's' - you can really ridicule them for not doing it sooner... I mean, they had localised DVD distribution sorted...)
Blockbuster has the brand, and ties with some large networks. Blockbuster will agressively open digital content streams ASAP, but bleed from its cash cow as the painful switch takes over... or profit highly from basically letting computers do the work?
Close all stores.. charge same prices... intarwebnet... jobs a goodun.
Amazon doesn't have quite the same idea as netflix, they have a few limits installed (6 per month etc) and so netflix does seem to have the customer happy approach. I have been itching to sign up for netflix or amazon for AAAAAAAAGES but where I recently moved to I cannot. Which sucks.
Now, remember what you bought a couple years/months ago? yep, a DVD player. Complete with menus, extras, frame advance, remote control, sofa, favourite cushion.
Do I want to watch movies on my office chair? )I am getting an RF connection for my TV out to tv though...:-) no i don't I want to get a physical DVD (sans marketting shit that I cannot FF) and watch it with friends.
This is the reason why online delivery of films won't work, until everyone has a ubiquitous (and upgradable, and STANDARDS complaint (read not M$) computer in thier living room with a silent operation, 2 second start up time and can use a 10mbit/sec connection to stream in films. (local content hubs?).
This is obviously a troll since the question was about Javascript.
The european commission has recently choosen only to invest in J2EE apps after evaluating.net, CF, et al.
Standard.
If you have heard of a little company called SAP (or whatever they are going-to-have-has-already-will-have-has (reddwarf) be called) then you will know that they have awesome Java desktop solutions.
Oh, and autodesk? Funny thing, they use a lot of Java, and thier architect studio is written in it.
IBM? small company I heard are starting to make big investments into Java and something call lyneux (french?)
So, Java isn't jsut in acedemia, but it is very much under supported in linux dev circles who pref hacking languages (C, python).
Ooooops I just made my own flame post!!!:-) sorry!!!!
Most of those coming to the class may not have the same learning style as yourself.
I should hope not, because I exhibit a teaching style not a learning style.
I do not say that they need to self learn, but I believe that for many aspects of this particular course can be covered from your own teaching of materials online.
That is, you instruct them based on these materials.
Usually books on simpler topics are either too simple, or are aimed as mini 'expert' references, you know, for those who want to know every single nook cranny and greasy corner of a field.
I am not saying a book teaching method doesn't work, for OS it is invaluable, all those funny sums (hurts my head) but for web design... pah, get real!
I would get them a book on DESIGN for the web, but not HTML or tip and tricks books.
They are best done in 1:2 split leacture practical setups with goal oriented week by week progression that is measurable based on how much of the weekly assignment they can achieve.
This is about Javascript - and online at that...
to choose the textbook for an online JavaScript class
I would go for web based links and do SMIL based live webcasty things.
But I have no experience of teaching online, only running presentations. Valid points about people learning differently, but I say reliance on a book does actually give them more reliance on self learning, so why you are there why not just s/book/onlinelinks?
I heard about your new IsNot, I think it is so elloquent and r33t, but someone has gone and copied you with a '==' object comparator that decides if the references point to the same memory area!
True, in this world of blogs, I read the same sotry linked AD INFINITUM with exactly the same text.
You know, if someone did an RSS agg. of 10 random RSS feeds, then 80% of the headlines would be common across all ten feeds.
One day it was be less about can we, and more about should we.
Bloggers can go and take a flying fuck. of trackback or whatever the poncey self indulgent whacko terminology they are cooking up.
gah. Yes, rule 1: slashdot should ONLY link to news sites.
rule 2: WHY NOT have a url field which is the link to the story, which you can verify as meeting this parameter,
rule 3: never let people advertise thier own news.
Like, I like Java, but if that Jcore-thingy gets another 1.1.111111.069.5 release announcement with a cut and paste of what he said last time, I will be so pissed off, and that is me who thinks Java is under-represented on/.
Why? 2 words, FRESH-MEAT. they have a fuckign RSS feed for software announcements.
Oh and pipipipipiququqiulalieileie. stop spamming/. (yes, it is spam dressed up as mutton, hahahahahahahahah get it?) if people want a runnign commentary on your daily bowel movements we can sign up for your rss. OK.
bitch,
sorry, this is such a trollish post, I know, but read deeper, it makes sense.
-- My reply was his actions are wrong for two reasons: it isn't his to trademark, and it makes no sense to use the trademark to fight these guys. I am against licensing and monopoly on these old games, I loaded up all the games that I have already bought licenses to play on machines that are no longer supported. I mentioned that he shouldn't target lazaurus burners (in any case). In addition he should clarify his usage of MAME in his products, and credit the driver writers for the games he has licensed. Anyone can buy a license for one version of Pacman on one machine base (not the franchise). Writing a driver to make it work in a emulated environment. That is skill. Whatever his points about legality of boards etc, the whole retro gaming wouldnt exist without the enthusiasts. No operator would have written support for other manuf. boards into thier products. MAME rocks. Don't knock it. --
Quoted From: David R. Foley
Like most things that are spread by rumor, the facts about me, UltraCade Technologies, and the M.A.M.E. emulation system are quite distorted. I will try and educate anyone who cares to listen about the reality of our marketplace and what we are doing and what we are not. Simply put, we are making an effort to stamp out the commercial sales of M.A.M.E. based systems that advertise the ability to play thousands of games while relying on the customer to obtain the ROMs which can not legally be obtained. What we are not doing is trying to claim ownership of the M.A.M.E. open source emulator or sue its authors. We are concerned about the commercial marketplace, and not the readers of the many M.A.M.E. user groups and forums.
I have been working on emulation technology since the mid 80's when I did work on an emulation project in college. In 1994, while working on games for companies like Sega and Williams, we developed an emulation of the arcade games Joust, Defender and Robotron that ran on a Sega Genesis. In 1996, we started the Lucky 8 project which turned into the UltraCade project. In 1998 we were one of the first companies to acquire the rights to classic arcade games from various publishers. We have licensed games from several manufacturers including Capcom, Jaleco, Taito, Stern, Incredible Technologies, Midway, Atari and more. We have started several projects and built prototypes for companies like Sega, based on technology that was licensed from authors from the emulation community. We have licensed technology from many of the communities programmers, paying them to use their code in our products and demonstrations. We have been the leader of the retro arcade movement, and have invested millions of dollars creating a market for retro games. UltraCade was the first successful multi-game arcade machine combining many of the old classics. We further enhanced the market by creating Arcade Legends, our consumer version of the UltraCade product. We have also paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in licensing fees to have the right to sell our games.
In the past couple of years, there has been a huge wave of resellers competing with our UltraCade and Arcade Legends products. They build a similar style cabinet, install a PC in the machine, load M.A.M.E., and sell it for a very low price. Lower than we could ever offer our machines for sale. How? Quite Simple. They profit by stealing others work. If you look at the web sites, and read the eBay ads they offer machines that "Play over 4,000 Classic Arcade Games" They then try and skirt the law by pretending that they are not promoting piracy of these same 4,000 games with statements like "we don't load the ROMs" but of course, almost all of them do. The others that don't, they provide you with an instruction sheet with a link to several web sites where you can illegally download the ROMs, or provide you with the contact information for a CD/DVD duplication house that will sell you a set of ROMs for all 4,000 games for less than $200. Would anyone really buy this arcade machine if t
The news item: Obviously he is intending to profit from these arcade games. MAME never did that.
So I think he is no better than someone selling bootleg DVD's.
Last time I checked many of these companies who wrote these games are still about. They probably have thier own MAME cabinets to show clients the good old days.
Each browser should have an if statement around all code that allows a window to spawn.

then on the tooldbar, just have a single checkbox (unckecked) with the label 'do you want it baby?'
I would happily surf past all websites that do ANYTHING to href links, in fact, I want a firefox plugin that will deobfuscate all links (not talking about server side redirects, but javascript links) and change everything to a non-targeted vanilla href.
Then I can decide where it opens.
FireFox has loooong been a victim of some malicious javascript attacks. OK, yes, I admit those websites were not really WS. wtf.

Like, I like Java, but if that Jcore-thingy gets another 1.1.111111.069.5 release announcement with a cut and paste of what he said last time, I will be so pissed off, and that is me who thinks Java is under-represented on

I actually used this one...

Genius.
-- My reply was his actions are wrong for two reasons: it isn't his to trademark, and it makes no sense to use the trademark to fight these guys. I am against licensing and monopoly on these old games, I loaded up all the games that I have already bought licenses to play on machines that are no longer supported.
I mentioned that he shouldn't target lazaurus burners (in any case). In addition he should clarify his usage of MAME in his products, and credit the driver writers for the games he has licensed. Anyone can buy a license for one version of Pacman on one machine base (not the franchise). Writing a driver to make it work in a emulated environment. That is skill. Whatever his points about legality of boards etc, the whole retro gaming wouldnt exist without the enthusiasts. No operator would have written support for other manuf. boards into thier products. MAME rocks. Don't knock it. --
Quoted From: David R. Foley
Like most things that are spread by rumor, the facts about me, UltraCade Technologies, and the M.A.M.E. emulation system are quite distorted. I will try and educate anyone who cares to listen about the reality of our marketplace and what we are doing and what we are not. Simply put, we are
making an effort to stamp out the commercial sales of M.A.M.E. based systems that advertise the ability to play thousands of games while relying on the customer to obtain the ROMs which can not legally be obtained. What we are not doing is trying to claim ownership of the M.A.M.E. open source emulator or sue its authors. We are concerned about the commercial marketplace, and
not the readers of the many M.A.M.E. user groups and forums.
I have been working on emulation technology since the mid 80's when I did work on an emulation project in college. In 1994, while working on games for companies like Sega and Williams, we developed an emulation of the arcade games Joust, Defender and Robotron that ran on a Sega Genesis. In 1996, we started the Lucky 8 project which turned into the UltraCade project. In 1998 we were one of the first companies to acquire the rights to classic arcade games from various publishers. We have licensed games from several manufacturers including Capcom, Jaleco, Taito, Stern, Incredible
Technologies, Midway, Atari and more. We have started several projects and built prototypes for companies like Sega, based on technology that was
licensed from authors from the emulation community. We have licensed technology from many of the communities programmers, paying them to use
their code in our products and demonstrations. We have been the leader of the retro arcade movement, and have invested millions of dollars creating a
market for retro games. UltraCade was the first successful multi-game arcade machine combining many of the old classics. We further enhanced the
market by creating Arcade Legends, our consumer version of the UltraCade product. We have also paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in licensing
fees to have the right to sell our games.
In the past couple of years, there has been a huge wave of resellers competing with our UltraCade and Arcade Legends products. They build a similar style cabinet, install a PC in the machine, load M.A.M.E., and sell it for a very low price. Lower than we could ever offer our machines for sale. How? Quite Simple. They profit by stealing others work. If you look at the web sites, and read the eBay ads they offer machines that "Play
over 4,000 Classic Arcade Games" They then try and skirt the law by pretending that they are not promoting piracy of these same 4,000 games with
statements like "we don't load the ROMs" but of course, almost all of them do. The others that don't, they provide you with an instruction sheet with a link to several web sites where you can illegally download the ROMs, or provide you with the contact information for a CD/DVD duplication house that will sell you a set of ROMs for all 4,000 games for less than $200. Would anyone really buy this arcade machine if t
I got it, and also on the dvd you can esily actually tell that it is a gri dof geometric shapes, stars etc.
That is right, you can actually pause it and see the stereogram if you like having yoru head that close to a tv screen.

The news item: Obviously he is intending to profit from these arcade games. MAME never did that.
So I think he is no better than someone selling bootleg DVD's.
Last time I checked many of these companies who wrote these games are still about. They probably have thier own MAME cabinets to show clients the good old days.
I have a feeling this guy is in for some stick.
Each browser should have an if statement around all code that allows a window to spawn.
if(user_wants_it)...
then on the tooldbar, just have a single checkbox (unckecked) with the label 'do you want it baby?'
I would happily surf past all websites that do ANYTHING to href links, in fact, I want a firefox plugin that will deobfuscate all links (not talking about server side redirects, but javascript links) and change everything to a non-targeted vanilla href.
Then I can decide where it opens.
FireFox has loooong been a victim of some malicious javascript attacks. OK, yes, I admit those websites were not really WS. wtf.

That is thier logo he has distributed as his own without asking.

Roytalies as a forgivable 11m$ for each use and the guy might think twice.
if I take a photo, it is mine, I can let you use it for a price, on time, anything.
if I make a movie, and I can be all RIAA on your ass, and even insult the laws of the country that people died for, and claim things that are not true.
if I draw a logo, or even name something, this is a work that is auomatically protected under copyright.
