The ONLY company that has been building little boxes to play video games on, since the days of YARS Revenge, is also the only company that broke a billion in PROFIT in the video game wars. Wow I am stunned.
No prob man. Like the other guys say you can turn off the plug-in-ness of acrobat & make it load outside of FF, but, This little freeware PDF Speed up doohicky http://www.acropdf.com/ really cleared up all my crashes.
I first made FF load acrobat reader external. I found this and it unloads all unnecessary plugins to acrobat and wham its up like lightning. After a few days I was curious, Reset reader as plug-in. Few months and 2 or 3 thousand Data-Sheets Later: No crashes.
Unfortunately, offering content for free is not compatible with large-scale media production, which brings us to the current situation.
Is this really true?
No on second thought its not. Television is still ad supported. Radio is still ad supported. Keep same model just include the ad in the file. Sure I like commercial free TV torrents. But if I had a choice I think I'd watch FOXes Simpsons over some tv tuner rip. If corporate america wants cash for entertainment let them get it from corporate america. Basically television works this way now. I put out content attracting x number of eyeballs Kellogs pay z dollars to have its ads carried.
Hell this could be very easily implented through the client Downloads take from 10 minuts to an hour. Stream Wheaties commercial and Beer ads that I can mute and not watch just like I do on tv. Rupert gets paid, Kellog's get eyeballs.
Win, Win.
Oh but it would cut into DVD sales!
Bullshit! I would download every episode of the simpsons -no special features just episodes with some sort of ADverts. But at the end of the season I'll go buy the box set with no ADs except for the mandatory 25minutes of trailers. Thus clearing up my drive and giving me a great set on dvd.
They just can't give up on this subscription model. Who the fsck ever said they would pay per month for Video/Music. Whats wrong with you XM Radio / Time Warner Cable Subscribers giving them the impression we're happy to pay more than a dollar a day for entertainment. It s time to make them feel it.
Um, to any TWC employees in the crowd, I love my RoadRunner. Please don't take this out of context. My internet is akin to Water/Electricity flat fee per month not a subscription. I like my cable too, (it came free with RR for 3 mos), but XM can kiss my ass.
from TFA Without strong leadership any organization with this much power can easily find itself with an image more similar to that of organized crime than one of organized labor (and, recall, the two have, historically, often appeared as interchangeable).
I for one, nominate a tri-bunal council compsosed of Linus, RMS, and that Moglen dude (he Rocks man).

I have children who, no matter how many I build, are constantly using my PC. I have 3 PC's running full time. 2 Linux (mine & 15yr old's), 1 win98 (other 15yr. old's). That doesn't mean no-one is using the PS2 or GameCube. Besides that, Halo & Halo2 will never run on our Linux boxes. I will play those games, but I will also wait till the price is right. Just like I did for the $47 GameCube and shelf full of used titles for my little girl or the PS2 for the Linux teen. Seperate devices for seperate functions. However, your point is well taken, I need no other console other than my PC (equipped with emus (cedega, mupen, dgen, zsnes, epsxe, etc))
It is nice to be able to say "go play your gamecube", when I want to actually use my computer for work or web rather than tell her its my turn on the box.
Seriously, nobody sorts questions faster than our secretary who is the funnel of all info@blah.com.
If needed she forwards to Help Desk or Engineer or Production or Marketing. You cannot automate info questions but tracking them is a different story we have a custom web app she uses to assign info request to depts of course this requires constantly training her who does what but it sure beats all of us recieving the same mail and then checking to see whose working it. All requests must get resolved in some manner or you get the dreaded POST-IT note on the monitor, which is followed by the even more dreaded "
Do you have a few minutes? ".

Closer to $350 but handles your problem nicely. WiFi for portability, Linux for any editor you want + grep. Extendable. Faster than 8bitter, Damn, dealbreaker.
Are you saying you are going to judge my code/innovation based on the fscking license I Slap on it.
You're worse then the leftiest linux zealot if you believe this. That must be why Trolltech is considered innovative. Wait, now that they use Dual Licenses are they 50% less innovative?
Judge my code by its function (propsoft) or by its code (OSS) not by its license. Plenty of hidden proprietary code sucks or is a blatant clone in fuctionality. Hell, alot of it is copied directly from FOSS, you just can't see it.
Larry seems upset because his most important users are being forced to leave. Does he realize he is the one forcing them?
Frankly, as the clown once said, "I'm glad he's dead." ("he" being BK. No offense Larry.)
BTW, how does Linus feel about his buddy calling him (and the rest of his OSS customers) a non-innovative parasite?
True, OSS always works best with a clearly defined target, thanks for the newest one Mr. McVoy.
At least they dropped the price from $80 last christmas to 30 now. 10 for console buck a game, almost worth it. Why not fill it up with the whole library? First Partyu only at least.

Kidding aside All "Box" Manufacturers should be required to maintain recyclying similar to HP's http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/globalcitizenship/environ ment/recycle/
Turns out its not such a bad deal. Landfill is LOSS. Anything recycled is profit.

We are talking about this new generation. Whats Atari's vision of this, a 20 game no cartridge retro console. Yeah its breaking ground left and right.
Maybe they are planning a wifi/HardDrive/DVD HDTV accessory peripheral. Just going to pick up thier newest console is a trip back in time to 1982.0

My point wasn't that GG started backwards compatability, only that Nintendo didn't.
Thanks for the support though.
LOL. My time waster is requiring I waste more time.
