Oh, intro movie shit took me some 5 seconds to skip. You see, all you have to do is rename the files, rename them te dice.bik.bak or something like that. Game won't find them.
Server browser laggy, pisses me off somewhat. What pisses me off even more is that the game has to "verify client data" everytime a map is loaded. I have no idea what that means, but judging from the speed of it, I think it is running the entire game through md5. Horrible loading times.
Not that I am fluent in Latin, but I'm studying it. But "lingua latina" cannot be correct grammar, the -o ending is for masculine and nouns in the second declension, in the accusative and ablative singular.
The free software buisness model is far superior to the proprietary, not only does it give the users freedom to do (almost) what they want but it actually encourages progress. Microsoft: "This product is somewhat buggy. We have a monopoly, so what are the users going to do? Let's atent it, so we can sue anyone who does it better." FOSS project: "There's a bug. Let's fix it, so more people use our product, and publish the fix so others can fix their software."
I also find that some proprietary software is "This works, get it out." While free software is "This works, and we're ahead of schedule. Let's implement this cool stuff, just because we _can_ do it."
Arab terrorists hate the US. That's fact. The US invades a country in the arab world. Also fact. Arab terrorists get pissed off, quite understandably. The US has simply given the terrorists another cause to hate the US.
10 mbit per second fiber optic cable, to quote Comic Book Guy. And why yes, it sucks ass. There are ISPs in my area with the same prices, but twice the bandwidth cap. But my parents... "It's easier." Yes, but it sucks.
I rarely use BitTorrent because if my download+upload/month exceeds 3GiB, I have to pay extra. BitTorrent forces me to upload the same file as I am downloading, making bandwidth usage skyrocket. If I have to download something large, I do it from somewhere where the traffic does not count (i.e., it is free for my isp).
That sounds like the winamp media library to me, because that is esentially what it does, allows people to browse their music collections based on artist, album etc.
Oh come on, trolls are stupid but you must be the stupidest of them all. How complex was the first aircraft, the Wright brothers', compared to the Airbus A380? Can your average bycicle repairman build an A380? But that does not apply to computers. Take operating systems. Linus Torvalds, a student from Finland, made a kernel - one of the most popular today, and he was nowhere a professional who got paid for it. He did it because he wanted to, and because he needed a kernel. That's why your argument is flawed, software can be created by anyone, because it is esentially free (as in beer) to create, and because it does not require you to be a professional.

Has Longhorn been released, or are you talking about something else?
I don't go to work because I'm reading slashdot.

You have a trailing slash too much there, the correct link is:1 22917/2122918/2122942/Longman.jpg

Well, the parrot can grasp the concept of Zero, but can it grasp the concpept of 40,000 volts?

wget pr0n. DUH! Harvest some unused cpu cycles!
Indeed it brings a whole new meaning to Blue Screen of Death. Kernel panic would not be much better though .
Nah, I was wondering how many of those ideas are patented, and will be sued into oblivion.
It is weaker because it gives the end user more rights than normal, thus weaker "protection".

It is news because the public is catching on. Every man and his dog have a blog.
Ok, thanks. Those patents are so obvious...

I know that mplayer has patent problems, but OO.o and firefox? Do you know what patents they infringe?
