Not sure if anyone knows. But all the bullying groups in the UK are looking to get the game banned.
By "bullying groups" are you referring to groups who are anti-bullying, or groups of bullies themselves? My local bullies have an interesting way of organizing into groups, they're called "gangs," and it'd be hilarious to see that lot get all whiney about a video game.
I had a good C interpreter ported over to punch cards, but one day I accidentally dropped crate #147 off the forklift and they went everywhere. Damn my lazy habit of not labelling my media!
I should be finished unshuffling them in another six or seven months.
So Bob is running the place, and everything is fine. But what do you do when the insanely irate customer demands to speak to the manager in hopes of shouting horribly at a stranger until a free Large Fries is obtained? Bob can't help with that.
That's when ELIZA takes over. Simply diect the customer to the nearby terminal.
Googling is useful, but not the sort of thing you'll find in a how-to book. For one thing, why buy a book that just tells you to go online and research the problem your damn self? No publisher wants to sell you a book that admits it's not necessary.
Additionally, the main reason most seasoned geeks try to keep some hard copy reference material around, especially if you're in a single-computer situation, is there will eventually come a time when the whatever the problem is stops you from getting onto the Internet to find out what the problem is that is keeping you from getting onto the damn Internet to find out what the freaking problem is that.. etc.
I'm a little mystified why the author doesn't recommend making a live CD of your favorite Linux distro.
I'm just guessing, here, but that might be because it's "A Guide to Troubleshooting Windows XP." Cheezy "lol, Linux" replies to Windows problems are normal here on Slashdot, but they're not as common in print media these days.
Tim and Radia believe that P2P won't be a driving force on the Web going forward. Radia thinks that having central sites where people can register is key to making the Web scalable and more secure.
I'll say. Nothing feels more scalable and secure than when I register and login to all my favorite P2P trackers.
The fact that so little has been actually revealed about Samus really helps get fans interested in her. Without much of a backstory, people can't get wrapped up disliking it, and may even subconsciously fill in the gaps with whatever cool details they want. It's also the mysterious knight-in-armor aspect, like how Boba Fett had developed such a cult following after the original "Star Wars" trilogy. Fett looked really cool, he acted badass, we only saw him for a few fleeting scenes, and the main characters seemed to know just enough about him to be afraid. How could he possibly not be the pinnacle of awesome?
If they ever do up a Metroid RPG with hours of dialogue and flashbacks to Samus' past, watching her parents get killed outside a theater which inspires her to fight crime or some damn thing, interest in her would wane just as Boba Fett lost a big chunk of his cult following when the prequels tried to heavily feature him and his origins.
The difference here appears to be that (apart from guest rappers) the Gorillaz' singing and music was done off a recording. I believe Damon from Blur once mentioned that none of the actual band members were even in town at the time. TFA isn't clear on this point, but it seems Duran Duran will still be playing and singing live, and just broadcasting the live feed into the game.
I asked my own library of homemade bastard pop what it means to be a mashup, but it didn't give me any reply beyond the sound of badly-synchronized vocals pasted over dubiously sardonic choices of background music with questionable artistic value.
On behalf of AOL, let me clarify... what they meant to say was "there is not a whole lot we could do that wouldn't interfere with the lucrative data-mining business."
Last night, I was digging around on the Borland site to see if there was such a thing as this, and today they announce it. How's that for a co-incidence!
It's no coincidence. The web guy noticed your digging in the server logs, mumbled in dull surprise at the fact that anyone was still interested, and cut-and-pasted your activities in the logs a few hundred thousand times for a few giggles to break up the monotony.
This morning happened to be when the bosses glanced at the logs, and once they realized how "popular" this stuff seems to be, they knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that it's time for the return of Turbo.
What better possible way is there to fight "terror" than to openly have fun and enjoy life? If playing with brightly colored toy water squirters in Summer has become a punishable offense, all is finally lost.
Remember the mid-1990s deluge of shovelware? Every new PC came with a towering stack of bad CD-ROM apps that were "OMG interactive multimedia CD-ROM technology!!!!@#$%" consisting of little more than Quicktime videos and the old crappy Macromedia Projector.
Bahrain is a relatively small country. How difficult might it be to stitch together the whole of the surrounding area from Google Maps or Earth, save it as a massive JPG or PNG, and mirror it around the net a bit? If that'd be too massive, a video clip of someone zooming around the whole area could also work.
We'll take our Cobalt Green, and a little Titanium White, and just paint some happy little resistors here in the corner.. they'll live right here right across the board from their little friends the capacitors beneath the happy clouds.
