Treating sex responsibly apparently means going completely out of control apeshit over a single exposed breast or a mini-game in an already extremely graphic game, one that involves people having sex with their clothes on at that.
This entire country is filled to the brim with morons.
And how can we win against stupidity? We've got argument, he's got a gun (in the form of police), and isn't capable of listening to argument.
they don't capitalize either. This is straight from their website (doesn't look like they don't update their corporate blurb that often)
id - Freud's primal part of the human psyche and one of the hottest game shops on Earth - has been rocking the gaming world from Mesquite, Texas since 1991. As a renowned leader in the industry, id Software forged such frenetic titles as Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, DOOM II, QUAKE and QUAKE II. With intense graphics and mind-blowing action, id's games have helped redefine the modern video game, continually setting industry standards for technology and gameplay. And, in keeping with tradition, id Software has amplified the world of adrenaline pumping 3-D gaming with the release of their latest action titles, QUAKE III Arena, QUAKE III: Team Arena, and Return to Castle Wolfenstein. id's advanced QUAKE III Arena engine is leading the next revolution in 3-D interactive games with both single and multiplayer technology.
Here in Los Angeles, unless you belong to the top 5% of the socio-economic ladder, I'd say the schools suffer from a severe case of benign neglect.
Isn't that the kind of neglect where one is better off without the interference of one doing the "neglecting"? I think you need to strike a word out of that sentence...
Basically, it took all of my strength not to outright flame his ass into next week. I settled for calling him an "administrative fascist" and telling him to "go to hell" for using what sounds like a TPM.
"administrative fascist". Yeah, that's reasoned argument. He's provided portable smart terminals to the students. Not general purpose computers. If that was his job, he's doing it quite well. Perhaps you should have "flamed his ass into next week", since he comes off like he has the thick skin, maturity, and professionalism to take it.
Quake 2 had radiosity. People pissed and moaned about "fuzzy shadows", so it was taken out for Quake 3. Then they got rid of that pesky "ambient light" stuff for Doom 3.
I look forward to their next game, which can be enjoyed by the blind equally as well as the sighted. Talk about an untapped market, and Id is really cracking into it.
> Didn't the Pentium have this problem too? > 3 - 2 = 1.99999999999
Here's a clue, the first one's free: the pentium FDIV bug had nothing to do with subtraction. And a lot of decimal fractions can't be represented perfectly in binary, giving you.99999 all over the place. It's not a Pentium thing when you see that, and in fact, x86's have BCD instructions designed to avoid exactly that sort of precision error.
I'm a liberal that gets more leftist every year, but I actually agree. I think of Doonesbury as a sort of political "User Friendly". I might identify with some of the characters, and even analytically find the intended humor, but most of the time it just isn't funny.
He can pull a funny one out once in a while. I think Jim Davis actually writes a funny Garfield every couple years too. Trudeau seems to get about double or even triple that rate. Guess as long as the checks from UFS keep coming in...
> I want an iTunes capable phone, but I won't be buying it if Motorola makes it in a "candybar" form instead of the more popular "flip phone" style.
Funny, I'm the opposite. I only get candybar phones. Tho from the scratches I'm getting on the screen of my Nokia, maybe it's time to look into a flip phone. That or a better screen cover.
You sure are partisan about your choices. It doesn't really make you any cooler, however.
... I occasionally give a training session at work about the architecture and organization of the internet, including covering things like the domain registration hierarchy (ICANN/RIR/LIR/registrar/reseller/customer), ASN's and of course, IP allocation. I usually use some phrase like "ARIN handed out IP space like crazy at the start, so companies like Ford and Apple got a whole class A each. Apple could become an ISP if it wanted to."
> My biggest critique of Ubuntu is that it seems to almost handicap anyone who wants to be a software developer.
And develop what kinds of software? Most developers know what tools they require and install their toolchain. You have your developers for C++, C, perl, python, ruby, java, haskell, ocaml... you have people working on graphics, device drivers, compilers, browsers, servers, desktops, games... I don't give a damn about gtk or autotools myself.
Any developer that can't install their own toolchain is pretty helpless indeed. I certainly have critiques of Ubuntu, but this is seriously small potatos.
I can't stand the politics of Debian. I use it because of apt-get dist-upgrade. I wait in vain for a better package manager that has a better version migration scheme, as well as having multiple mirrored online repositories (fedora doesn't count because it has nothing like dist-upgrade and doesn't plan to begin such a scheme til FC5 or later). A gentoo with an emphasis on stability and official support for portage overlays might be a good competitor. But I need a real distribution to run right now, not a theoretical one.

Common Lisp uses HEAD and TAIL. car and cdr are still in scheme.
..but, isn't it arrogant of him to think himself above any kind of proficiency test? Does he think he's perfect and should be hired with no showing of his actual ability?
He has a record that speaks for itself. He jumped through enough hoops to get the PhD, and he erroneously believed they recognized his established experience, given that they contacted him.
> Google gets all the hype, yahoo gets no respect. I wonder why.
They attach ads to all your outbound emails. This alone drives me away. I've taken to blocking all of yahoo's ads because they're so damn huge and intrusive, but since it bugs me ethically to frequently use their service with ads blocked, I just don't use their service.
Yahoo's search is fine now, but they were leading the charge in "pay for placement" not two years ago. There's some interesting options like "save" and "block" in searches, but they appear to be no-ops. Seems to provide no value over google, really.
Their toolbar is bundled with completely inappropriate things like acrobat, and shoveled onto my machine like so much spyware.
> OK, so if the whole point of a vegan or vegetarian's lifestyle is to preserve life, ponder this. Over 100,000 animals are killed every time 1 acre of land is plowed to plant those precious soybeans.
More of which is used to feed animals than humans.
Pathetic. Try again. If you're sick of hearing the rhetoric, try not spreading it around.
God I hope this isn't the future. The writing adjacent to all the concept art is frightfully awful, hokey, cliched stuff. I'm talking high school melodrama here.
Actually just about anything titled "noun Of War" is off to a bad start, cliche-wise.

Tits on a bull would be something added that was extraneous and useless. The internet without the WWW would be like a fish without its bicycle.

That's certainly been a successful formula for article summaries on slashdot.
Here's another frightening fact: 100% of all people die.

Heh. Maybe Ford is next?
This is why:
LittleBoy = new FissionBomb();
do_some_research();
Littleboy = new ThermonuclearBomb();
Do you see the oops? This is fixed easily enough with a "var" keyword. You could even do something like:
var LittleBoy: FissionBomb();
Turns out Pascal isn't such a verbose language after all.
I pronounce SuSE (love them funny NeXT-like caps) like "Seuss". It's my little tribute to the good doctor...

So yes, he is above stupid mind games.

If the editors gave enough of a shit to implement a link checker, they'd also read their own site, making such a thing unnecessary.
