This is no lie, I am not making this up, I have a slashdot feed on my personalize google page, and as soon as I saw this I thought... "OH MY GOD, SEAMONKEYS... BUT IN SOFTWARE, I WANT THAT! VIRTUAL BRINE SHRIMP! WOOOT!!"
I was sadly mistaken:(
I'd ask for my body to be frozen, and then thawed periodically every 100 years, just so I knew humanity's history before I die. Then again a lot of people would want to do the same thing and we'd have a body storage problem on our hands.
...in this situation. Here I am reading the news/video game article/PC article when all of a sudden a car insurance ad BLASTS at me with a screeching car sound. You can substitute screeching car sound with any conceivable annoying sound in existance.
My solution? Adblock the hell out of them.
Huh? I recall my hotmail account having a "Find" button for a while now. Right in between the "Junk" and "Put in folder" buttons. Go ahead and have a look.
I am no Linux/Unix expert, and I recently installed Ubuntu 5.10 as a dual boot on a second hard drive on my PC. It works just fine, but my damn ethernet port just doesn't feel like working on it, or rather, DHCP doesn't feel like working. The card seems to be detected but during initial setup DHCP didn't work correctly, and when I got to the actual OS it just didn't want to give me ethernet access. I used to have a KS75A motherboard with Ubuntu, and it detected the network card on that one just fine. But I recently upgraded and now I have a ASRock 939 motherboard, which has an integrated ethernet port which Windows recognizes as "ULi PCI Fast Ethernet Card". Anyone know where I can get some linux drivers for this thing, if that's the problem, or if not how I can get this thing online?
And I know, I'll try setting up all the info and IPs manually to see if it works but I think this might be a driver problem I dunno... I couldn't even go into my router or modem's config pages. Any suggestions about where my problem lies?
...is for the demo discs for console games. And with the whole Xbox 360 marketplace online demo delivery system, which will surely make everyone else follow suit, I doubt that'll be an incentive come next generations, so yeah, they can screw off. I don't like reading reviews of alpha versions that they claim are the final versions just so they could meet the deadline, and I don't like reading out of date stuff when I can get the latest news online. Plus having so much paper around is annoying.
I just realized there's bacteria that produce methane... BACTERIA IS EVERYWHERE. Therefore, I declare bacteria the culprit of global warming. That, and farts, and bacteria make farts, so get your lysol ready.
Good point with the problems with existing tech, if the Xbox and PS2 DVD drives, which are all existing and proven technology crapped out on consumers regularily, giving people dirty disc errors and just dying in general, how the hell do you expect a brand new technology such as Blu-ray to behave?? This smells like shit. I am most definitely NOT going to be picking up one of these for launch given Sony's console optical drive track record.
Jeez! 1,800 bucks for a Blu-ray player???

This just screams two questions: 1) How in the world will that price be competitive with the much cheaper HD-DVD format and 2) Just how much is Sony gonna be losing on each one of these babies? It's not like Sony as a company in general isn't in bad shape, and can afford to take these kind of dangerous losses.
When I was at borders yesterday I saw a book, I think it was from thompson that was for complete beginners with no previous programming experience. Lemme check to see if I can find a link... yes I found it, here's a link
I was at borders yesterday and I saw maybe 500 books from O'Reilly, 500 more from thompson and 1,000 more from random publishers, please for the love of god someone help me out and name me some *good* python books for an intermediate programmer. Most of my experience is in C++ and I would like to learn a high level language like Python, so please name me some books and help me in this impossible quest at borders.
After long dismissing online play as not being central to gaming, Nintendo is fast becoming one of Web-enabled multiplayer's biggest boosters
Sorry, but a racing game and a puzzle game for a handheld do not make a company that erroneously decided that "customers do not want online games" one of Web-enabled multiplayer's biggest boosters".
RTFA. The program that read the story didn't cause problems. It was the program with the gratuituous animations that had nothing to do with the story that distracted kids from the story and caused a drop in comprehension.
Going a bit off-topic although still the same principle at its core, this, my friends, is exactly why I roll my eyes every time I see yet *another* powerpoint presentation where the person went all out with shitty animations and nonsensical sounds which really have no purpose except being there to distract the audience.
definitely fucking agree, wtf, an entire day just doing a find and replace? Even if it was a common word that could be contained in other lines of code and you had to manually look for it, clicking next next replace next replace etc etc, and it was a HUGE project, if you did a find and replace across it, it shouldn't take an ENTIRE DAY.

Oh shit your name is evil lawyer, that's awesome and totally in context, I believe every damn word you say.
Was anyone else suddenly shocked by the serious tone of the article switching to a nice "Philip K. Dickhead"???? HAHAHAHA

Here you go! Now go brag about your awesome google, er, webcam setup skills.

Yeah yeah I know about the review book, duh, just wanted more input, and yeah I'll also check out that link. Thank you.
Oh I didn't know you could download chapters, that's awesome, I'll test a few and see what's good, thanks

Yes, all on a recently released handheld. I was playing online on the PC maybe a decade ago.
lmao haha mod this funny you bastareds
HEY! I need that little fan! I'm fat and sweaty and the mouse slips off my fingers you insensitive clod!
Yeah, this seems to just talk a lot about architecture and format wars and not at all about games.
