I'm sorry, but I don't see this as something the NPR Audience latching onto. I'm a longtime listener...but I just can't see it being a strong, and solid fit. Are folks who game really going to get their info from NPR? It might neutral, and it might be factual, but the gaming audience doesn't want that from what I can tell. I DO want that, but overall I see editorials with lots of slant, and sexed up marketing chants. NPR is NOT that, and I'd never want it to be.
Quality is quality, and education is education.
I can't stress how much this figure impacts people who DO NOT have the money to upgrade their systems. Firefox is a boon to these people.
While Microsoft is demanding more money for more protection, it is a reassuring thought that at least there is one benevolent group willing to make strides for all computer users.
As a note, Katrina victims/poorer folks who survive disasters need internet access to get maintain any sort of life period. I've seen it first hand. They do not have the time to hunt, peck, and spend on software that is defective.
I give up, really I do. But it was only a matter of time before political machines corrupted Wikipedia I guess. How long before it starts being less true than is true? Good idea, ruined by humanity once again.
Vista will not be secure

Buy Vista or Else

There are already holes in Vista that were revealed with Microsoft's latest patch. If they keep rehashing a lot of the same coding mistakes, then there is no stopping threats. Vista will flop, and be just as buggy as the current version of Windows, and if you do not buy a new computer - well, we all remember Windows ME.
So, try out MacOS X, or Mepis Linux.
Can't hate a man for following through on charity. I like that, even if his past really was f-ed up w/ regards to karma. I can say at least he bankrolled some good research, and good deeds.
All men come to realize they reap what they sow. All mean come to realize they too will die, and whatever is said afterward, and how people remember you is all that will remain. Perhaps mortality finally caught up with him, perhaps not. We'll see.
I guess NBC got tired of M$'s demanding ways. Either that, or M$ wasn't really doing anything with the TV division...and they just were using it for marketing.
Try the Guardian for better news, or the BBC. The Brits got one thing right in my opinion: good *newsworthy* journalism. (And yeah, I'm ignoring their tabloid division...lol.)

A vision of money and power is still a vision. Total consumption is bad, no matter what you apply towards it.
Their vision is the enhance the lives of people with knowledge. This is good - to an extent. For once you open the floodgates of wisdom, there is no telling what monster is waiting to abuse it to their ends. I point at Hitler, and I point countless others.
Ok, I was worried about one thing, and I was right.
The leaders of Google are consumed with a vision, and ulitmatley, that's a very dangerous thing. While wanting it is ok...consuming an entire population around it...I don't know. At this point, I'm not so comfy-cozy about Google any longer. That's not to say I'm comfortable with Apple, M$, or the folks any other large company. I am worried in the end. Worried that age will take hold of these people at Google, and wring them out to dry. I surely hope that in the end they appreciate people. I mean that - appreciate them. Not use them, and cater to them b/c they are laborers. Drawing in brilliant people only to use them...seems caustically dangerous. From this blog, it seems like they did that at least somewhat to the author.
Yeah, it's only a matter of time before we start seeing rash consumerism in huge swathes taking hold of their country. Then we can safely chant: "ONEOFUS ONEOFUS ONEOFUS"
This is why I don't use iTunes. It was only a matter of time before someone figured out how to crack it, and your connection. I'll keep my MP3 buying simple: Just use a web browser.
http://www.allofmp3.com/
No need for a program to do more than it should. iTunes should just play music. That's it.
I checked out the Mozilla site -- not a peep about it. I made a post there. I figure this one totally right hooked them. It's a pretty massive crash. Just makes the whole browser lock up. At least I know they'll fix it fast though...I think in 24 hours we'll see a turn around.
Anyone try this with version 1.5?
Now, with prejudice in the bankruptcy world only means they can't refile for a 160 day period.
I am wondering if the same thing applies here? Does the record industry merely have to wait in order to get another crack at it? I'm not up to snuff on my legal code for law suits.
They screwed up on D2, and let the guys that could have fixed it go and create ArenaNET, and now instances in this game are very, very messed up.
Ok, so, whatever. If they do a rollback, they can kiss their playerbase bye. Their rep. is smeared by this a lot.
All I can say is that the Touchstream LP is still far superior that this crap.
It ended the era of mouse and keyboards altogether. However, some mysterious entity has bought out Fingerworks, the maker of the Touchsctream LP. I am very angered by this as I cannot get my hands on a touchstream now for less than $700.00. Fingerworks's other products (mouse PADs that acted like mice) were also a lot better.
And yeah, they were worth the $100-$330.
This is a warning shot to M$ over their bough, straight to M$. Start producing quality, and listening to the people - b/c I'm not wasting my dollars forever.
Finally, perhaps we'll see computers shipped with an OS that does not suck.
Mmm. Yeah, I'm a 23 year old socialist. And my blog, as the caption states is for me - not for your "l33t hax0r" namecalling self.
Regardless, the amount of money that goes into developing games these days is a fucking waste. Look at the saturated marketplace, and everyone will tell you the same damn thing. Why else would prolific game devs (creators of oddworld) state as much. Quite frankly, it's an inflated place where money shouldn't really matter in the first place - but quality should.
And yeah, I work for a Bankruptcy Law Firm bud. After working for big companies that produce "copyrighted work" I can tell you piracy eats into little or NONE of their "profits" to make a significant difference.
And a coder who isn't satisfied by the work they have done in a "cube" shouldn't be a coder at all. You code. You like it. No materialistic desires are going to replace that feeling. But what I will state is that you need cash to live, and as far as I can tell - the U.S. has no fucking clue how to tell the difference between "getting by" and "living large."
Now that I'll buy. Stealing isn't kosher, but I do think that full use of a range of a device is fine. And...I don't think they would need to sue people - copyright laws are good enough.
If they really wanted to make this a viable platform, you and I both know that they would make a device that had flash memory, and downloadable content. Instead of physical copies of games - just make it downloadable. 0 Chance of piracy b/c the player never sees a static copy. And make the whole system break in two if the case is cracked open. Again, these are simple changes they COULD have made. Bandwidth cost could have been absorbed by including a torrent program inside the PSP, and if they had put a wi-fi card on it...I digress...but you see my point? They just make game systems the way they do to either A) keep a failiing system going or B) keep profits sky high.
Well simply b/c it's shady, dishonest, and quite frankly - bothersome. If you make something that humanity can benefit from - share it. "Greedy LVL 30 Dragon" syndrome seems to infest everyone's logic at the "captilistic" level. Holding something above people's heads like a treasure only gets you hacked, cracked, and most of all slapped.
I don't even know why companies bother making proprietary formats anymore. Games are games, and systems are systems. They get hacked so fast now it's almost a waste of money to bother layer on the security.
Unless they can 100% control the H/W from being taken apart, or the code being looked at - it should just be open source.
I think using an obscure ISO standard is a joke as well. If it's a format anything outside of a self-invented multi-layered security device - it's gonna be blown open.

Dr. X: I love you. I love your eggs. I promise not to slap you anymore. No fork them over bitch, I GOT SHIT TO CLONE.
I'm using Debian, and the 1.0.7 build they have out is affected by this 100%. It works on any 1.0.7 build.
I checked out the Mozilla site -- not a peep about it. I made a post there. I figure this one totally right hooked them. It's a pretty massive crash. Just makes the whole browser lock up.

Finally, perhaps we'll see computers shipped with an OS that does not suck.
I have a 850MHz iBook with over 600MB of RAM, and a 32 MB vid card.
Firefox runs like mud on a California slope. Text renders pretty badly. Currently, OmniWeb and Opera seem to run fine though.
Ever since they did that Java Update on April 18th, Firefox has not run the same at all.
Just letting people know who don't have powerhouse Macs...
