Seeing those pics made me feel dirty. Why is he thrwing floppies like shuriken? Is that a Mac in the background? No wonder people thought geeks were, well, geeky.
Of course, some news sites don't have a dead tree counterpart. Money comes from ads and spyware. It makes it free for us to use but costs advertisers money. Thus, newspapers that charge for their content can but why bother when so many other sites have free content. Assuming local newspapers have the same content as other sites. My local paper blows.
That happened in the early 90's and most likely started before then. just check your local newspapers. My town only has one and to say it's conservative is an understatement. It has editorials from Billy Graham. Anyways, people don't want conflicting views forced on them (liberal bias) and want only the view or interest they want. Fragmentation of America is natural based on political philosophy, religion, interests, ethic background, and education. It's natural to be around those similiar to you even on the Internet.
Did they usea router or NAT? Did they download all the lastest patches? What kind of attcks were made? Which type of attacks failed for each OS?
It's more than OS, it's intelligent design of the network. But since Linux doesn't have ActiveX, open ports, and a need for endless patches, it may do better.
ESPN NFL 2k5 is the best football game I played. Madden 2003 is the other one.
Anyways, as a recent convert to football (thanks to gf), a football with fantasy teams would be nice. Imagine American Founding Fathers vs Russian Soviets. Nobel Peace vs Nobel Chemistry (Gandi gets unessary roughness). Best yet, Linux Programmers vs Microsoft Drones.
A fantasy football game wouldn't do well unless it had a gimmick that could be worked into a niche like historical fans, LOTR, RPG-football mix for example. It depends on what people would want and how well it was made. I still want a football game with elves, dwarves and goblins.
Too true. Too bad Americans can't see past their differences and give each other a hug. Afterall, liberals, moderates, conservatives, and Linux users all have a share in America.
Personally, I prefer Internet news since I can use many sources for articles that give depth and background information to the news. Also, unlike cable news, many to most articles tend to provide information while having little opinion. It's more pure journalism and more professional than Fox News. Bloggers are opinions only and may mislead people thinking it's fact. Just like the previous sentence.
But a point does come up about business using P2P as a tool to distribute content.
Imagine RIAA making a centralized P2P protocol and software. They charge, say, $40 a month for unlimited downloads. However, with a modified MP3 format (or some other audio file format). The format could degrade each time it's copied thus the more it's shared, it becomes a corrupted file. Then people would have to download it from RIAA again. Not fool proof but an idea.
P2P won't go away but with so many people using it to download warez and tunes illegally, no one will take it as a serious method of sharing info except for public domain material and maybe scientific papers that journals can't make money off of anymore (out of date).
EA sports games aren't truely shitty but could use another look at the code. In Madden 2003, players walk through each other at times. ESPN NFL 2k5 is great but no more. EA is just making a series to make money and to entertain people. However, if they aquire enough brands that people like, they will dominate the market and I, for one, won't welcome our fascist video game overlords.
A sizable portion of the video game market buys Madden every year just because it's Madden, without thinking of whether there might be alternatives.
Actually that is brand loyality. Once they get used to Madden and it gives them what they want (a decent football game) then why look for alternatives? ESPN NFL 2k5 is great but many footbal fans tend to get one football game for a year at least ones I know.
Halo 2 was declared by many sources game of the year sight unseen, just because those sources thought that was what they were expected to do.
Again, brand loyality but they assume the sequal will be as good as the first just from sources that say so. Once a video game company makes a series people realy likes, they'll stick with it.
Sounds like you support Republicians. Why is that liberals are anti-intellectual when conservatives say that college graduates are elitist yet conservatives are anti-intellectual as well? Ever consider that Bush may have made mistakes? Nope. Never.
I graduated from EMU. It's a shame that they waste money. I remember their "beuatification" project. Metal poles with connected by chains are not pretty. Is oatmeal raisen lane there (walkway with asphalt fillings)?
Why can't the EMU pres buy his own damn house like the rest of us?
Appearantly he didn't major in economics, law, business, political science, or any science. Some say he did but it's one thing to earn a degree and another to buy a degree.
Corporations are fine, it's the fools that run them. They hide behind the incorporation like liberals hide behind the Consitution (like the rest of us) and deny they did anything wrong, the corporation did it. If CEOs, et al take personal responsiblity for their actions, good and bad, then people would respect them instead of playing politics and using PR and marketing to "fix" a problem they have.
OpenOffice is better than MS Office. Far less crashes and screw ups in formating.
MS isn't indestructible but they are fighting to maintain their share of the market. If Linux programemrs and OSS could make their software more user friendly, drop the "RTFM noob" attitude, and put ads on TV for Joe Six-Pack, things would get better.
More like corporate communism. Look at airlines that demand money from congress when they are in debt. Corporations really want to own communism and own the government. Oh, wait....
Your wrong. I believe in god and that science is the best method for understanding the natural universe. Buddhism covers the spiritual. So religion and science can play well together.

Blackberry is a piece of crap that hardly works. Did Dell tech support and if it worked, it was a miracle.

So was every year from 2001 to now. While Linux is great, it could use some better GUI tools for new Linux users and lazy bums like me.

I own a business and I compete with competitors by improving my service, not bribe the customers.

Finally, a Christian. A real hard working American Christian. I like you and so does Buddha.
