"We began our early development efforts in console gaming, and we have always been excited about returning to this arena. Additionally, we've wanted to revisit the StarCraft universe for some time. With StarCraft: Ghost, we are able to do both."
Translation: We wanted to use Blizzard's name and a great game title to enter into the console market.
I'm not meaning to flame here... But it looks like that to me. It could turn out to be a great game. However I do question how much it will be starcraft and how much it will be star_based_game_set_in_space_with_aliens_and_human _ghost_character.
If It's good (which I do hope. I've always supported Blizzard), I guess I'll have to buy a console.
That is the second or third time this has been posted... One on XPlay, another on that other one. Let pudge do his job Jamie; post apple articles to the apple section. You can still have them come up on the main page.
I thought along the same lines... It is Unix, so UFS should be better... So, I formatted my iBook and went with UFS.
I was wrong. All of the mac applications run much better under HFS. Things like Appleworks need an HFS partition so they work with OS 9 as well as X. And mozilla still won't run in a UFS partition. As of version 10.1.3 (not exactly sure which one I tried) there were still a LOT of problems with UFS. I got a lot of data corruption on my UFS partition. Also, disk IO seemed a lot slower than with an HFS partition. The system kept getting slower and slower.
Finally, I reinstalled again with HFS. All of my troubles went away. In my opinion, don't use UFS unless you have a really important reason to do so.
I've seen companies limit bandwidth like this before... it's quite silly giving a max or 2 or 5 gigs per month...
On a 56k Modem you can bring down about 9 GB in a month if it's on 24/7. I know it's really not that practical, but I have never heard of limiting usage on a modem. Maybe it's cause all pirates are impatient and use cable.
Plus it is a great teacher of military tactics. Probably better and more efficient than any history teacher could. Plus kids actually learn themselves from experience.
Don't know how accurate this story is, but a friend told me that one of the history classes back home play 'Axis and Allies' as a test to see if they learned how to apply some of their course material. You can take it with a grain of salt, but it's a good idea.
For those unfortunate enough to have installed 10.1.5 without removing DoubleCommand this will probably help you get rid of it.
I'm not 100% sure on this as I'm not sure when DoubleCommand is loaded... but if it's loaded after user login (and you have login enabled) then you can try logging in as user name '>console'. That will drop you to a console and allow you to delete the folder before aqua is loaded.
I always keep login enabled just for cases like this where things could mess up.
Actually it's called 'poutine'... It's french fries with cheese curds and gravy on top. It's really big in Quebec. They have it at all the KFCs and even Burger King and other fast food places too.
You'd be surprised how good it tastes. Think about it... It's just potatoes. No one complains if you put gravy on your mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving Dinner.
"That said, why not relocate to a co/lo service in India?"
Why India... I live in Canada and as far as I know, there is no CARP proposed here. Move your stations to Canada. It's not too far and wouldn't be as much of a culture shock.
They may have looked perfect... But they were far from it. I found the CG to Human interactions would really bad in a few scenes (like skywalker fighting the moster thing... He didn't know quite where it was. He almost seemed blind).
I think in about 5 or 10 more years, they will be able to do it really well. It gets better every year.
I'm still trying to figure that one out... The story in Spider-man rocked and the effects were really well used. It was overall an awesome movie, every part of it.
Episode 2 was good, but lacked in a few areas as Taco mentioned. Specifically for me the 'romance' scenes which seemed as awkward as when geeks talk to chicks... Also, the CG to human interaction was not really well done, they seemed to work totally independant. That was especially noticable in the fight scenes. The effects and war sequeneces were amazing though.
With all that said, Episode 2 had the flashiness and would win an award for best effects. Spider-man was, IMHO, better written and done. I felt the effects were used wisely and really made the movie work.
I don't think this will effect OpenOffice at all. It has been unleashed to the open source community, so even if Sun *wants* to abandon it, someone else can pick it up.
What about Java. There are currently 3 main platforms for Java pushed by Sun: Solaris, Windows and Linux. Mac also, but this is more of a push from Apple. I'd be much more concerned with what might happen with Java than OpenOffice.
I'm sorry, but the die hard mac users are going to have to get with the times...
Macs arn't just for non-geeks anymore (Arguably the first apples were for geeks, became less geeky...). Mac OS X is the ultimate hybrid to allow both geeks and non-geeks a common platform which both can enjoy and use how they want. Heck, why do you think there is an apple section on/.
I bought my first mac last year specifically because of OS X. I needed a laptop that I could use for work and school. I wanted a UNIX based system but the ability to run commercial applications if needed (I love OS and Linux, but there is still no MS Office for it and probably never will be... But everyone still sends me.docs).
I still have people come up to me and say... "you bought a mac??? Don't geeks not like those? They are too colorful to be geeky."
Macs are for geeks and non-geeks alike. For different reasons though (sometimes). Mainstream users will probably figure this out in 3 or 4 years time.
I'm a hardcore geek and bought an iBook earlier this year. Personally OS X makes sense for me. I can use all my favorite UNIX development tools and when I get a damn MS Office document from marketing I can actually open it in MS Office.
An no, ksh and vim aren't slow in OS X. Not to overshadow your point, because I think it's a good one... For geeks this is a perfect system too.
That's how OpenGL does 2D graphics as well... 3 Dimensions with Orthogonal perspective. All the Z coordinates are set to 0. Looking down the z azis gives a nice 2D image.
And for those who don't know, VNC (the official version) IS available for old version of mac OS (both for 64K and PPC processors). Oh, and it works with Linux and windows too. http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/
I've used VNC a lot of linux, windows and a bit on the mac. It works great and you can't beat the price.

Backup to iDisk?? 100MB backup service isn't that good... I can backup to a CD 6 times for the 0.50$ cost of a CD.
As for the email... Even hotmail is 'free'. I'd rather take ads and spam over 100$ / year.
12 cm is about 4.7 inches for you non-metric people...
very nice.
Check out #drwho-central (dalnet) and #dwarchive (efnet) and alt.binaries.drwho...
That's how I have watched the entire series because it's not on anymore.
They are releasing some on DVD now, about 5 titles out now. Season 16 (Key to time) set for release this fall.

And now due to the /. effect combined with the power of gnutella...
It will soon be at number one.

Itching to see gnome and aqua running side by side... I've been doing that for months. It takes like 5 minutes to do:
.xsession for gnome
1) download Fink
2) Install XFree86 and the rootless package
3) Install Gnome
4) Set up your
I use Gnome for my window manager along side of Aqua. It's got a few issues, but runs really nice for the most part.
