For the record, none of my Microsoft Windows 2003 Servers have ever been compromised. They've been probed, prodded and thrown around the room a few times but never actually broken in to.
Each admin runs their own game differently. Whether Linux or Windows, both provide great benefits as well as great risks.
Tests performed on monkeys that were subjected to 30-36 hours of sleep deprivation revealed an average test performance accuracy drop to 63 percent, but that performance was restored to 84 percent after administering CX717.
Nah, it would have been from the trans-fat in the fries.
He learned that he stood a chance of getting cancer from the trans-fat and he went on a killing spree because, well, he could potentially die soon any way.
Even more onerously, the game contacts Massive's servers to provide data about the length of time and viewing angles that the player looked at the posters.
Sounds to me more like the actions of some spyware than a game.
Putting that aside, we all knew it was coming and it was only a matter of time. There shouldn't be a problem with ingame advertising as long as it is relevant to the time frame / storyline of the game. To me it would make the game seem more realistic.
Playing a game like EverQuest and seeing an advertisement for Duece Bigalow on the side of the Freeport Arena would completely ruin the play experience for me. Seeing it in a game like maybe The Matrix Online wouldn't be that far-fetched.
Oh no! Someone said that Linux isn't far superior in every way! Mods, quick, mod him down as a troll for saying that Linux should focus more on gaming support! I mean, that MUST make him a troll!
Whomever is modding today needs a metal boot in their ass. Linux SHOULD focus more on the gaming side. Cedega doesn't run anything that I would like to run (like the games he mentioned) and most of the games that it does run don't even compete with the level of performance that I can get from using DirectX directly under Windows.
If you were owned a small grocery chain and decided that you only wanted to sell one brand of bread, why should the government be allowed to come in and demand that you now stock every single brand of bread out there?
MTV _does_ put out cookie-cutter crap. Every time I hear or see that channel it is either some guy rapping about how he beats his bizitches and smokes weed, some sk8r grrl video or some emo dribble.
Original music is gone. A very large portion of the people on that channel don't even write their own music (and in a lot of cases don't even perform it ala Ashlee Simpson). Channels like MTV seem to support the bastardization of America's youth.
this rise in popularity of "silent" PC's is just one more example of the Windows world playing catch-up to the Mac
I didn't know that Microsoft made power supplies and processor fans. Usually when Windows is making too much noise on my machine I just turn the speakers down.:)
Umm, Hillary is far from the "Religious Right". As a matter of fact, most of the people that have been complaining about the game are special interest groups on the left side of politics claiming, "won't somebody think of the children?!?"
So does this mean that China will start conducting the meaningless and irrelevant scientific studies so that America and Russia can get back to exploring the cosmos?
The majority of the time it is because of new hardware features (ie - ISA vs. PCI vs. AGP), chipset instructions being removed that legacy applications used, etc.
New standards being adopted that make running legacy applications virtually impossible is the biggest hurdle.
Yea, at first I glanced at the summary and didn't catch the entire "root server" comment. I'd like to see how they would go about getting control over the root servers if we don't want to give them up.
As the internet was invented, created and distributed in the United States by the US military a few decades ago and the US controls the root domain (.), how can the UN decide that they can control this?

Conroe is a city, which encompasses said lake. It is roughly 30-45 minutes north of Houston in Montgomery County. Their outlet center sucks.
PS -- the houses in Harbor Town off of Seven Coves are nice.

I am reminded of the famous line from Chappelle:
Cocaine is a helluva drug!
Not trollin', just sayin'...
...prompt patching...
Who is the submitter trying to kid? I remember waiting months inbetween patches.
Not trolling, just saying that using the term "prompt patching" is very misleading.
IKEA
Took the words right out of my mouth...

Maybe Congress should just get it over with and change the law to allow EULAs on printed works?
I wasn't aware that there was currently a law that made EULAs remotely relevant as a legally binding contract...
My cup has more of a legal obligation to contain my water than an EULA has to DRMs.
...you type DooM LikE ThiS

Better mod me down too because it is the truth.

Sounds quite communist to me.
"THE FUTURE OF DESKTOP COMPUTING: Apple.
I've been hearing that since the Macintosh first came out.

Think about it? Yep.
Read it when I made that comment? Nope.
Reading it right now? Yep.
I was just replying to the submitter's summary.
football actually encourages real aggression
well, duh
...this could be an interesting upgrade for those looking for a low-noise system.
Or perhaps a low-cost, energy-efficient home or small-office based server, yes?

Not middle-aged. So sue me.
Back in the early 90's I had some of my most memorable moments on the PC. I was only 7 at the time:
BBS'ing using the ultra-fast 9600 modem
Beating people up in the arena in Ambrosia
Being scared for the first time by a computer game (Doom)
Ehh, that's mine.

Yea, I would love to see a CAD program from post-2000 run on a P 233 with 32 megs of RAM.
I'd even be happy if they successfully pioneered the concept of the direct-to-DVD series.
I am pretty sure that Family Guy is pioneering the "Direct-To-DVD" concept. Much more pull and a much bigger fanbase too.

The US _does_ control root, right?
