"I didn't really expect I was going to make a lot of money, because I recognized early on it was going to take a big company to put this all together and get it out on the market, because it was a revolutionary thing," Russell said, "and you don't just do revolutionary things of that order without enormous support and that I was going to lose my position no matter what."
I'm sure Bill Gates and Steve Jobs felt the same way. *rolls eyes*
I don't understand why everyone thinks everything should be open source. People go to University for four years to get a bachelor of computer science to work most of these jobs so why should they work for free; they deserve to be paid for their product and work. Don't give me this "open source does pay the developers" fantasy crap, it's economics. If the product is free, the workers are voulnteers therefore don't get paid. Why would I go to university four years to be a voulunteer? It's insulting. Engineers don't work for free or give out their production secrets on the internet!
an emulator fast enough to work on my "power rig"!

it's like the new generation of hippies that think everything should be completely free like some fantasy star trekish universe... well wake up! we live in a capitalist world, not a free economy
Peter Jackson never claimed that he would copy the book to the letter, the credits for the movie even say, "based on the book from JRR Tolkien". Besides, what would be the point if it did copy the books exactly? You would know everything as it was about to happen, every detail in every scene... I think the whole point of turning the book into a movie is to see how someone in particular interpreted the book. Both the old Dune movie and the TV miniseries interpret the book very differently, but that's what makes them interesting and good right?

who play's jean luc's character in star trek TNG?
anyone know?
It all depends on what they have a boner for, PC Gamer for example has a big boner for WW2 games. Nearly every review they have has some nazi/ww2 reference and every ww2 game they review gets at least 95 percent no matter how much it sucks. Gamespy has a big boner for new stuff, they get all worked up about stuff in their previews, nearly every preview claiming that it will be the "next big thing" and the most popular blah blah... like black and white 2, they think it's the cat's ass and don't think anything could possibly be wrong with it. They don't take into account that even though molyneux is a genius, every game he's ever made after populous was a spectacular failure and didn't live up the half the expectations people gave them. (ie B&W 1, fable) Game reviewers suck basically:) Triumph could write better reviews about games (http://www.triumphtheinsultcomicdog.com/). If I had to give an mmorpg the GOTY award it would be UO no question, and starcraft for RTS. rant rant rant
Gamespy GOTY 2004 was Halo2 and IGN PC GOTY was HalfLife2. You've got to thank slashdot for their impartiality... >:E
Flame: Gaypot blows compared to ign and gamespy, and to think they make you pay to download compared to free fileplanet is laughable.
Just wait 50 years and we can see the big hologram of Jimmy Wales tell us how to rebuild civilization... hey maybe his plan has begun already and Sollog is the leader of the second foundation!!! ohh ahhh

You must be one of those carebares who found an element in MMORPGs more interesting than PVP...
