Called the FUD section with a nice new icon of Elmer. having this artical under the linux section just dosn't sit right with me as its really about windows and MS bull-turd bias studys. Hm a new Gates icon with an Elmer F.U.D hat on would work well
Same thing as the stock market , Making a fortune off of money that does not really exist. If i were a more supicious man,I would think that blizzard are probably the top seller.Well they print(as in printf) the money, they would be crazy not to do it.
It was always underated,but i really loved playing it . Especially the Battle of hoth at the start(the scene which gave rise to rouge squadron 3d). The cheats were alot of fun aswell i had a great time running around as a droid or storm trooper. I think its only problems were that it was really really unbalanced , on the hardest settings some parts were stupidly simple,whilst others requierd nerves of steel and 4-leaf clover. Also alot of people really disliked one part or another and since the game was such a mix of styles it got a few peoples ire(not me i loved flying around then jumping out the ship and blasting away at storm troopers)
Windows 2003 server running on skynet is 300% Faster than Ye-oldie redhat -12 edition from 1723 running on an abacus. This reliable Expensive test paid for by Microsoft to show how much better windows 2003 server is(the payment came with a clause stating such).
I personly never use windows unless im made to;). Still though for my job i have to know how the system works for interoperability with servers , So yes you do need to know how to use it for most jobs right , It will change and hopefully sooner rather than later.
Yes if your a geek chances are right now you will have to have some Windows experiance to get by , Same with office workers etc . school IT education is not about pushing ideals (leave that for Uni or home study) its about teaching you what you need to know to get on in life so yes we must teach a good mix of all systems and that includes windows.
Apple wont be doing that,The clone macs caused apple alot of problems mostly related to the fact that it cut proffits by brobdignagian ammounts. Quite simply , apple makes a hell of alot more off of hardware and support(not so sure about support though) than they do off of software so it would not be in their best intrests.
Not really. I have a rather strong firewall as it is so its unlikely that anything from this would have gotten through (I am far more worried about exploits in my firewall) and im not so careless as to install any old crap from the internet.
I always have belived in openness with possible security problems,but you must couple that with giving the debuggers a fair ammount of time to come up with a soloution before making the problem public . 10.3.9 was released not so far back and they already fixed these problems.So i would say,i will stick by my sentiment.
Personly i have tiger on my mac that runs OS X , but its nice to know apple are on-top of the security updates.Well Its good to know they get them out before Ihad even heard of most of the security problems which gives me alot of faith in their development teams and Debugging systems.
What your missing out on , is people are not just forking over that money for one game . They are forking it over for every single game to come out over the next while and they will be quite happy to do so. Thus the uninfringable format of UMD has become open to infringment.
On the good side though , this opens it up to alot of homebrew and experimental hacking beyond the normal web interface type that has become so commen.
To me it actualy dosn't show any patriotic or anti-patriotic, anti or pro US sentiment. To it basicaly says that china is pulling up its society now more than ever to adapt to the 21st centuary and the technoligy there of. you forget the GPD per head in china is a hell of alot lower than the USA so this is a rather large thing in that sense.
If people wanted to show that the US is perhaps on a decline to a more resonible position(avoiding the flame terminoligy), they would most likely speak of the economy, the state of the dollar and national debt.
As for technoligy id say the US has its fair share(even after the current administration cuts) of great tech on the way , so has the rest of the world so i dont think anyone is getting left on the dust.
I dont hate the USA , I do hate some of the work of the current US administration. But hate for a gouvernment and hate for the land and its people are two very very diffrent things.Hell I hate my own gouvernment aswell;)
You will be on mars whilst we are off doing massive stem cell research and furthering genetic therapys and other things crippled by the bush administration.
You see the world is more and more inter dependant on the varying nation states. You develop one area of tech whilst we go for another,this is how it should work and it will work well.Pro-american(As in "We are so far superior to the rest of the world") or anti-american sentiment is not helping any of us. The sooner you realise we all rely on each other the better.
Together we stand divided we waste alot of money by not sharing research.
Problem there is,have you checked at what percentage of this internal consumption IE:Within the USA. I have a feeling it will be a rather large percentage which would make it just as bad..
Not to mention the fact that it's hard to make cash off of litagation against a non-profit organisation.So they are less likely to sue. Not that im calling companys who live on patent litegation thieving scum , but for legal reasons im on implying it.
I prefer to think of it as the one more susceptible to bribe will win against the one more susceptible to taking bribes. Bad luck on that one politics , corperations dont tend be as bribable in this context
;) yet again it was one of my famous typOs , I cant remember what i ment to type exactly now but i was mroe refering to open as in the same way of the ppc hardware as an open specification so drivers could be more easilly made... sorry for the confusion but it allows for some nice conversations anyway;) i am if anything entertaining
Pokemon rules Its a realy fun strategy/RPG/colleter game , im currently playing metal gear Acid on psp and its great too and really reminds me of pokemon for some reason
They are not trying to compete with nvidia , They are trying to produce an open source graphics board.Everything , every last little bit will be open to us to tweak and examin. Most people wont be able to do much with it , but if the project takes flight and i hope it does . Then we could all be able to get a lovely cheap open piece of hardware that by its very being will be fully supported in the OSS world.
It will be a great learning tool aswell
Which in all means for those of us without great need for much 3d procesing in our workstation computer or server computer.. A reliable, cheap,open graphics adaptor for 2d that is 100% supported in all operating systems ( givin enough time ).
Glad to know im not the only one worrying about this.The tool has an anual use fee in the tens of thousands , now the only people using this are not going to be companys who worry that GPL code may slip in(most will have a fairly good clue if it has and not want it publicised) its going to be people who want to try and make some money with patent litegation.
Actualy thats a bit wrong , the nature of the BSD license allows people to do what the hell they want with it , so in essence you cant abuse the BSD license. This is why some people love the BSD license as they see it as total freedom and i have much respect for it myself. I just prefer the GPL way as we get back any changes and thats gaurenteed by the license(if the software is released , i belive its ok not to feed the changes if its an internal tool only)
something about this dosn't make me as happy as ..

The Open-Source Detector
·
· Score: 3, Informative
The company has some other bussiness such as , outsourcing
For companies engaging outsourced developers, Palamida:
* Reduces your exposure to inadventant IP risksTake hold of software outsourcing by quickly assessing the origins of software IP sourced from contractors.
* Helps the origins and ownership of third-party code.
* Gets the most of out open source and externally developed tools.
* Increases efficiency, consistency and understanding.
Now its wonderfull theat they help people get the most out of OSS software but i dont like the fact they are making outsourcing easier.This is not so much a problem where i live but in the USA as i understand it many people are loosing their jobs in the tech industry thanks to companys trying to save a fair bit by outsourcing to cheaper areas.
The Outsourcer: A Best-in-Class Tool for Best-in-Class Processes
Outsourcers are playing an increasingly crucial role in global software development. Large, medium and small companies are looking to tap developers in the hopes of advancing their own software IP and business opportunities.
<ecode>
Again , I wouldnt want to do bussiness with a company that promotes this behavious , i am all for globalistation , but not for screwing people over as the companys seek to hype profits by exploiting cheap labout , Now safely aparently.. Perhaps i missunderstand the term outsourcing in this sense , though to me it always say "Contracters so we dont have honour the workers rights, localy or globaly".
<ecode>For M&A teams, Palamida helps:
* Identify and quantify IP issues early in the deal.
* Improve certainty before closure, increasing your closure rate.
* Reduce your legal exposure.
* Immediately value software innovation and intellectual property.
* Tap into the most up-to-date software IP database available.
* Secure the best possible valuation.
<b>* Speed your assessment of open source and third-party code.</b>
Again my second problem is there strong patent support here.It just makes me as someone who uses and contributes to OSS uneasy.(just my opinion and how i feel , not a statment of fact )
IP Diligence, Compliance Enforced
On to the legal section,Their bussines model is basicaly that of enforcing IP rights , sure that may help us find companys abusing GPL code , but it also swings both ways and can open up a whole host of patent cases against GPL software.
For counsel, Palamida:
* Improves the timeliness and quality of legal diligence
* Automates compliance processes.
* Provides real time information on your code base.
* Adapts to your business processes and workflow.
Fair enough this can be usefull in this day and age , allowing you to pay them to make sure your not infringing on any patents , But this just dosn't work on 90% of the OSS projects out there , i am betting it costs a fair whack.Most people using this on OSS are IMHO going to be looking to enforce a patent case ala SCO.The potential minefield here is not fun.
or the open source community, Palamida:
* Supports and evangelizes on the use of open source software.
* Boosts productivity by spending time developing and not worrying.
* Pushes forward in unison with legal and business staff.
* Materially reduces open source compliance concerns.
* Creates new business by proving the merits of open source technology
Now that is alot better,I can strongly respect what they are doing here.Still i dont like that they keep harping on about IP compliance..
Mario 64 DS(still a great game with a load of addition , hell the mini games i still play long after getting my 150 stars) Ridge racer DS(a port of Ridge racer 64 pure and simple , alot of fun though) Raymon 2 DS(another n64 port, the weakest of the bunch though)
So quite a few , im not complaining though i love having some mobile n64 games with some nice additions,Nintendo has a strong young fanbase and their is nothing wrong with that,so they have not yet perhaps played these games and they are great games that they would have missed out on.Also it apeals to us with nostaliga , much like many of the GBA ports of old mario games(Heres hopping for mario All stars DS , with a bucket load more mario games , i mean all of them:D up to mario 64 ).
Its great that it has some inovative titles and some old classics to both here and on the way
Like oh say Ridge racer DS , or Mario 64 DS . Or even Raymon 2 DS all of which are re-releases of N64 games , but they are portable forms and Mario 64 DS has alot of added content and gameplay.
Ridge Racer DS is a fine if tricky as hell to play port that offer s a fair few hours of play , not to mention if you have any freinds with a DS the multiplayer is excelent fun.
Raymon 2 DS , a bit of a poor port really,but it offers a fair few hours aswell.
I havn't played the sims breaking out for the DS , i am not a fan but i understand its a fairly lengthy title.
Wario ware DS i really love it allows us the few seconds of gameplay , whilst still having some long term play posibility , i find myself constantly going to back to it.
What we can expect is msot likely an inovative Castalanvia game(heres hopping) Advance wars DS , A new zeland game for the DS(not sure when). Hopefully some inovative games ala pikimin or doshin the giant. (that game would be great with a stylus) And another confirmed title bound to give us a heap load of gameplay (if its your thing) is Animal crossing DS (I am really looking forward to that one).
Thew DS already has a few very lengthy games , nothing jaw dropingly long yet but its a mobile system.I own a DS and a PSP and thing they are both great for difrent reasons , I dont expect much adult titles on the DS, for that i have my PSP (less mobile for games but alot more lengthy gaming experiances).
But to say the DS lacks longevity in its titles is wrong , as half the current line-up have well over 10 hours play.... It will be intresting to see how nintendo move forward with the DS , I do expect alot of inovative gameplay though . So heres hopping some more games get released(very small release line up unfortunatly and still only but a few games out)
