They're kinda like a lab rat pressing a lever to get more cocaine. Lab rats are stupid. If I found a lever in a lab that dumped out cocaine, I would just pound it out into a bag, take it home, and use it to play diablo 2 for 20 days straight. Sheesh. THEN who's fault is it?
"Games are to those gamers, what heroin is to a junky. And they ODed." So the proposed solution (as in drugs) is to outlaw what is so great that people can't control themselves with. Clearly, that doesn't stop the problem since junkies exist to be in comparison, but now we've got criminal gamers to boot.
This is the mentality of prohibition. The idiot is at fault - long live darwin - clean out the idiots. Stupid is till stupid dies.
I am so damn sick of this discussion. Videogames - like movies - are an idealistic fantasy. If I wanted to watch small-breasted ugly girls fight I'd watch a talk show.
I really disagree with firefox being the best product of 2005.
Firefox is what I would recommend to anyone needing a web browser, but it's still got tons of problems. It's a hog, a complete hog. Of course there are plenty of factors to blame - but it doesn't remove the problem.
Yes, internet explorer sucks. It sucks that the browser market has so few reasonable players. It sucks that so many popular websites refuse to evolve.
Firefox is a glass of stinky water in a huge desert.
Expose the myth of WTC building 7. Explain why fire would not have been hot enough to cause the uniform collapse of wtc7. (if feeling gutsy, take on the others too)
AND, the xbox360 first batch is shipping with fcckuyps in the implementation as it is... if you choose 'mono' analog output, it mixes in the phase shifted surround channels and adds it all together!
Most consoles that have come out since the NES have reportedly been sold at a loss.
If microsoft really is selling these at a big loss, it just further reinforces my paranoid idea that Microsoft is trying to kill the gaming industry. If a company today were to offer a super-powerful console at near give-away price - once they received real market penetration they... oh crap where's my tinfoil h!?!?!...
Really, so if some hardware in the nex Xbox breaks or is recalled it will derail microsoft - would most other companies not be affected? What the?
I was recently in an IRC channel with basehead (who is an old tracking god, and now works for a video game company and is currently working on one of the 360 launch titles) who said: The XBox360 does not have any standard stereo output. It either uses the Dolby digital, or it downsamples 5 channels together as 'mono'.
So anyone without a Dolby sound system is going to hear complete crap. Maybe this will change, but it will be launched this way. This sounds to me about as bad as a soundcard recall.
This is a brilliant idea. While we're at it, let's take all the books out of the library that aren't directly connected to an assignment.
Stop handicapping everyone.
College costs (a lot of) money - and anyone who's too stupid to take advantage of their time there doesn't deserve it.
By the time you're in college, you should know how to handle your time, you should know how to study, and you certainly know how to pay attention. If you don't pay attention and you fail - you're a failure despite the reason. If you can slag off, play zelda and browse 'facebook' (please kill youselves) -- and still pass the class -- then the only problem is that you've exposed how useless the college experience is.
There isn't a general.config file to copy over. make xconfig uses athena, not KDE. If you're going to compile your kernel go through the whole utility, reading the "help" where necessary, and do it right.
Also, making a kernel image and then updating you boot loader will do nothing. Your kernel image will appear in the linux/arch/(you arch)/boot which you should then copy to a location readable by you bootloader, configure your lilo or grub to see the new image, then run your bootloader.
"Yes. It is probably the broadest cross section of mostly British web users you are likely to find on a single site."
That doesn't mean ANYTHING though. PROBABLY... LIKELY to find... whatever.
These results would be a LOT more relevant if they came from a website that people make use of, actually visit. The website of a major media company is a poor reflection of the public. You show me the statistics from google, yahoo, amazon, ebay, or some other site with an actual diverse userbase.
THIS JUST IN: Some people use firefox!! In an exciting twist on this top story, some people also use different operating systems!!!
Why was this posted? This information is completely irrelevant. Is the BBC homepage supposed to reflect some important or signifigant user base? Or are you just entirely useless?
Next week Zonk presents us with home movies of some kids playing with a camcorder and his collection of stargate action figures. Or maybe cover some reader opinions of star wars.
"YOU have a choice whether or not to buy the album. If enough people thought the price point was unfair, they wouldn't buy, and the price would go down. Enough people think the price point is fair to keep it there. "
You are wrong. CD sales have plummeted, remember? That's why the RIAA is suing file sharing? OH YEAH - because it's been pretty universally agreed upon that 50 minutes of random music is not worth 20 dollars.
All your economics classes are taught to you by a power elite driven to never upset the system. This crap you spout was programmed into you by your country and your cheap education. USE YOUR BRAIN.

Brilliant.
Your statistic is a complete lie. You are a liar.
So if a woman walks around naked does she deserve to be raped?
Where is your logic headed?

The source of addiction is never at fault.
Otherwise, wouldn't the victims of stalkers be at fault - since they're just so great the perps couldn't control themselves?

Same technique.

and then the chinese dwarf totally chopped you down.

Nobody is impressed.
Kill yourself and start over.
Ok! So I agree you can't trust everyone on the internet, but I have the log.
And I uploaded it to tripod, FEAR the page generator.

AND, the xbox360 first batch is shipping with fcckuyps in the implementation as it is... if you choose 'mono' analog output, it mixes in the phase shifted surround channels and adds it all together!
There's no reason not to include a standard stereo option, even so: mono would be fine if it wasn't all five channels of dolby downsampled to one.
There is a HUGE difference.
It's disgusting.

Google has "advanced artificial intelligence" because it's able to look at browse patterns?
