Morrowind - And that's just single player too! Seriously, I just fired it back up this weekend and it's almost still as fun as the first time. There goes my life for the forseeable future ... Again.
Sotty, I wasn't trying to show off, I just thought that it was the correct word. Stop trying to impress people by being condescending. It's not working.
So hypochondriacs really will have virii, and UNIX elitists really will run the worlds fastest most reliable awesome number-crunchy stuff on all hardware from their 386SX to their ub3r power server. I can see a market here. Ego == OS. Most/.ers will run the most amazing machines on Earth!
Of course, then again, that also means that AOL, Microsoft, and Amazon really will be all that. And Sony will have the perfect DRM. PLEASE KEEP ALL THOUGHTS AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER. YOU ARE TOO PENSIVE NEAR THE COMPUTER.
Here's the broken down answer: 1. More bloaty software, larger filesizes (you thought 2D was bad, 4D is like that, but squared!) 2. Longer dev time. 3.Slower running software with higher requirements. 4.Obviously a huge project that took forever to complete, requires a dedicated hard drive, and runs twice as slow as Doom 3 on top of the line hardware is an amazing new technology that all the kewl people have and if you don't you're lame.
::MY HEAD ASPLODE:: seriously, you're reading way too much into that, and no, seeing as our sight comes from three dimensions to two points in 3D space, we do have 3D vision. On a less serious note, your comment reminds me of what happens when you get stuck inside a rock on games.
My Ubuntu experience has actually worked with everything _but_ my Atheros 5212 card (Netgear WG311T), but that might be a result of the stupid 128 bit password generated WEP. Great, clean distro though, pity you can't get Kubuntu CDs from shipit. I even got my Mac-Nazi CLI-phobe friend to use Kubuntu.
AIM has it's own protocol and only uses that. GTalk is just a Jabber client, a totally different (better, IMO) protocol. iChat, OTOH, is multiprotocol and can already talk with AIM or GTALK users, and always could.
Insightful? Funny is more like it. Sometimes all you'll get is "Usability is for weenies go check you're spellign and grammar and use windows you pathetic luser" propmtly followed by a flamewar in which half of the readers actually agree with him.
Opera is fast, smooth, and secure. I would probably use it if Firefox wasn't around, and might try it again if they componentize it so I don't have to install their email prog as well, just a browser.::hint hint::
Apple does not make PPC cpus. IBM and Freescale do. Apple is switching to Intel, and they only chose PPC now because it performs better at the moment, at least in this configuration.
you can already get high end GPUs, since ATI and Nvidia supply GPUs for Macs. Now that the high end Macs have PCI-e, they can use the same 7800s or Quadros a PC can. Their the graphics platform, so not releasing a high end card for OS X is unwise.
How would an improved Nvidia 7800 leave ATI at the top??? Unless I'm mistaken (and I'm not) more RAM is better for a GPU, making the 7800 with 512MB insane. The only way this works out is if the GTX is the lower end 7800, but even then it's impressive to have 512.

No more Grand Theft Auto for you mister!!!
We're not. Aren;t you late for some digg trolls?

Obviously not. He was struck down by His Noodly Wrath for blasphemous sedition.

I just about peed my pants when I read that, we analyzed that article in my AP Language class (censored of course)
noter to mods: Here's the original

Evolve? come on, we all know that this will prove once and fort all that the earth is only 6000 years old.
The Japanese quickly respond with a Digital Kamikaze in which they all reinstall DOS and trust the Gods to sort everything out.

No, but my first thoughts were of Ayn Rand's Anthem. Thy just go to the Home of the Useless and wait around to die.
I meant that iChat has had Jabber support for longer than GTalk has been around, so for all of GTalk's life it has supported Jabber.
AIM has it's own protocol and only uses that. GTalk is just a Jabber client, a totally different (better, IMO) protocol. iChat, OTOH, is multiprotocol and can already talk with AIM or GTALK users, and always could.

Gives a whole new meaning to rice rocket!

Hmm ... let me think
what was that phrase...?

Thou shalt not use proprietary software, consort with it's users, or make anything without prefixing it with 'GNU/' or inserting a superfluous 'g'.
