there's always the "suspend to ram" feature. it works great and "boots" back up in about 3-5 secs. but it really isn't a real boot.
personally, i'd like to do away with booting altogether and not just a fast-boot. i don't know if that's technically feasible now but maybe in the future when software has finally come out of the primordial soup age.
apparently your reading comprehension is at grade school level, i.e. 3rd grade.
he meant that it'll take more than a gnat bite to bring them down, NOT that they're immortal.
and yes, the future is unknown. perhaps it will really be something small and benign that'll do them in but from this vantage point, it *seems* unlikely.
if you want to play a real spy, you'd have to find ways of overthrowing "unfriendly" governments, introduce biological agents into massively populated regions full of brown and black people in order to reduce the population / experiement on / sterilize them, also last but not least, you would have to disguise yourself and commit heinous and brutal crimes and blame them on "terrorists" in order to sway public opinion to go along with your plans of world domination.
we could even say these spies belong to such unknown organizations as CIA , Mossad and MI6.
it's kind of tricky but why not, let's find a developer who would be willing to try.

those types of mini games are boring as hell for me and mucho pointless. even more so when it's required to advance further. i don't like tamagotchis, analog or digital.
and you actually own your computer's processor(s).
aka no DRM.
how evil DRM truly is. in the future, more and more of the public will find out. that's the good news. the unknown is if they will do anything about it.
there would be no motivation to copy things if copyright law was in the least bit reasonable.
1+ century (to be extended again soon) copyright durations, DMCA and other draconian laws, criminalization of non-profit infringement, things like that really piss people off.

took you long enough ;)
most people saw that the MD was a crappy format from the get go.
if DRM is in the mix, it's pure crap as far as i'm concerned.
what does reproduction have to do with basically what most human beings want in life : happiness.
hell most women nowadays don't want to reproduce either.
if you're happy, you have it all.
awesome, truly awesome.

thanks for the best laugh i've had in weeks.

don't LET you mess with YOUR hardware...
what's wrong with that sentence?
RMS saw this coming decades ago.

you lost me at "asshat".
a pseudo-word capable of only coming from a teenie bopper.
if you're a grown up, shame on you.
at least use some more universally acceptable insults.
it's like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. it's cringe inducing.
we now return you to our regularly scheduled program.
that's what MS said about the first xbox... having 1Tflops.
so if i were you, i'd take their bullshit with a grain of airwick.

"Hell, I play games because I want to gedt the hell away FROM having to interact with other people!"
amen brother.
finding a decent human to play with is the achilles heel of the gaming industry.
the day that bots start saying "SFTU FAG" etc etc is the day i will.... uh convince the developers to reconsider...
argh, and don't forget the massive cheating, vulgarity, a**holes, etc.
if they stop making single player games.. i guess i'll have to find a new hobby.
a non-drm "computer" would be ideal.
except a pc is yours to do with. it can do far more things than a console can.
so if your mac costs 1.5-2x as much as a pc, do you get 1.5-2x the pleasure?
what you spend your money on is basically no one elses business.
as long as you own your own property, do with it as you please.
and you actually own your computer's processor(s).

the reason is simple.. on this side of the pond we measure our worth by the bigness of our ...
;)
they measure theirs by the smallness of theirs.
i don't care if you live in a closet, being able to buy a ps2 and gamecube but refusing a free xbox based on size is a completely rediculous reason.
it's about some perceived coolness factor that only a weirdo (to us) native can see.
they are just plain idiots, even if i were japanese i'd tell that to people there... as long as they were smaller than me
and everyone is guilty of it to some degree. so don't jump to conclusions, necessarily...
then it should be made illegal to not allow customers to use the hardware they purchase. that will satisfy my concerns.
it is blatantly immoral and even illegal... if anyone has the balls (and $$$) to call them on this.
the next best thing is to alert everyone you can to this bs. that even i and you can afford.
it was played out the 1st time it was said.
damn, get some self respect people.
guess who isn't telling the public about this.
:)
and it isn't the hardware or software manufacturers i'm talking about.
IBM and Motorola are members of the "treacherous computing group".
have a very nice and comfortable day.
someone mod parent up.
very interesting angle. i hadn't thought of it that way.
i suppose you don't recall that all next gen console use IBM power cpus... with the cell specifically having been built from scratch to support DRM.
maybe another reason that people haven't been buying INtel up till now is that the fact they are evil sobs.
even if by some miracle, AMD cpus were 10x slower than intel ones, i'd still buy amd or give up on computing.
i'll leave it up to you to find the details of why they are evil, if you are so inclined.
