What kind of commitment (be it buying a vendor or development in-house) would it take from Microsoft to develop a fully integrated and feature-rich software firewall solution? Do you have plans for it? Can we expect some of that in Windows Vista SP1?
I hope there is a new SF game coming soon. The fighting system in sf3 third strike was pretty good what with the parrying and all. It would be nice to see an implementation of the parry system as well as new blood (characters) in the games.
I hope to see new fighting styles (besides Shoto, Blanka, dhalsim, T-Hawk, guile, fei long) as well as a improved combo system.
Another thing: a PC port? I'd love that... imagine skinning your own character, the mods, the stages... good times...
I shall dream on...
On the garfield.com site there's a minigame that has garfield looking for clues and stuff, and he goes insane as various random things pop-up. If he goes completely insane, game over.
Anyways, here's the link:

Its a pretty good timewaster for the office.
...what was the difference anyways between and iPod and a HP iPod. Was it just a different filesystem by default? or was it like the branding of the product? I don't remember anything on the packaging (I got an HP iPod a couple of months ago) like an HP tie-in for other HP Products. Anyone knows?
Resident Evil 0, 1 and 4 almost made me buy the cube. I am glad I will not have to get any N-based consoles to play this. There doesn't seem to be many quality software titles for Nintendo lately (namely, last three consoles).
Charging for bandwith sounds about right. Give them like a gig of bandwith a week and charge the rest to a credit card or something. Also have the unused bandwith "rollover" to the next pay period. How would you go about measuring bandwith? Tracking users by registering a MAC Address?
... has come to be like running water or electricity: a basic need. College campuses must understand that and act accordingly. You wouldn't cut everyones electricity just because there's someone with a stereo real loud, or you wouldn't cut the whole block's running water just because there are stupid kids throwing water balloons at cars in the street.
...but a questionable implementation. This is very utopic in nature (not having a centralized server storing everyone's data) but it doesn't feel feasible to just "trust" a decentralized architecture to hold/store my personal information without designing it from the ground up with security in mind.
Linux is not ready for lower end-users. That's about the only thing I can find wrong with Linux. However, the applications for higher end users are many and development tools are plenty.
We just need to incorporate easier ways of doing things in Linux without compromising its flexibility as an OS.
Also, remember that manufacturers are responsible for releasing Win-hardware instead of making the hardware drivers available for all OS.
I agree. It was probably one of the most entertaining and original games of the past year. I picked up a copy and got addicted to it. The visceral emotion of getting bigger and rolling through bigger and bigger items is really satisfying.
This is a very good example for other countries to follow. This actually encourages competition and speeds up the embrace of open standards. The government should always be involved in iniciatives like this.
AOL with their annoying kiosks and the salespeople hawking over bystanders. I have convinced more than one person to move away from them, right in their salespeoples faces.
Their bundled browser/bad service is what drove us geeks away (among many other things). AOL software feels like it was made for pre-schoolers.
Sad but true. The things is, as with everything you read on the internet, wikis should always be taken with a grain of salt. Not everyone is posting on wikis for the greater good. There will always be someone willing to mess it up for the rest for many reasons (being attention whores, the lack of a scrotum or just being immature). This has always been true on the online world.
It doesn't matter what any company says: if I can play it, I can copy it. A little ingenuity, a cable hooked from your favorite cd player to your computers mic port and the right piece of software will free those songs from the hell that is DRM.

The wave/mp3 file preview from Windows 2000. It was a heck of a timesaver.
I get too tired of people asking me how to make their computers faster. So:
1. people dont get an answer
2. people throw away their PC's
3. I get their "broken" PC's
4. Install Linux on them
5. Profit!

Good stuff. I bet this will become like the "mod-chip for playstation" solution for DRM based monitors. I am bookmarking this!
I'm sure that the curiosity of learning new things and the availability of code in OSS will get her hooked.

She could probable get a job as a data center in IBM or something...

Just my 2 cents...

$3.99 is a great deal for shipping... but, do they ship to Puerto Rico? I'd really hate to pay that %6.6 tax for it.

Well, this would bring the grand total of hours spent on windows update a bit further... I'm switching to Mac! :P
I looked at my IPod and laughed after reading this
