I'm still waiting for SARS to get me, cos that's what I was told was going to kill me before. And then there was West Nile Virus. And we can't forget those killer bees that'll be here any day now. Shouldn't we all be dead from ebola by now, too? Or how about monkey pox?
Ummm, so it's a GPL violation to even list the name of a GPL'd program? That's all has been shown to be at this point -- a string of letters. Not code, but a fucking name. Do you have any clue what you're writing about?
I completely understand the rationale behind your decision. Just so you know, to the best of my knowledge, WMP for OS X doesn't install anything else in the system (no comment on the EULA though). However, it is a crappy player and the only thing it's good for is playing the random odd WMV file that nothing else wants to.
When I come across WMV files that don't play in mplayer OS X or VLC, guess what I do? I open them in Windows Media Player for OS X. And it usually works (assuming my lowly ibook/600 can keep up). Shocking, isn't it?
I dunno which is funnier. The fact that you admit to being in the closet, or that you came out by telling everyone that cjb909 can't feel anything in his asshole anymore... : p
You can tell that Bill didn't really shoot that dood that came onscreen at the 2 minute mark cos his ammo stays at 33. I suspect that Ballmer must've hit him from behind with a chair...
Jesus! I didn't say it would be easy. And of course they're gonna be doing code signing for this. However, I suspect that this will be one of the primary things to look at to get unsigned code to run. Of course, I could be totally wrong and MS will have done their job properly and nobody will ever get arbitrary code to run on the 360.
...since the interview says that the emulator can be downloaded for burning to CD...
If you read the responses carefully, you'll notice that there are several mentions to emulators (note the plural), indicating (to me at least) that each "certified" game will require an emulator. This further leads me to believe that they're playing loose with the word "emulator" and in fact are talking about recompiled PPC specific binaries, which use the original game's assets. Besides, wasn't that the point of having everyone use their DirectX dev kits? So that the code was abstracted and could fairly easily be recompiled for a different target if necessary? Well, it seems like it became necessary...
Now that's a brilliant move. Let's see. Original xbox titles are more or less running on x86 hardware. The "emulated" versions (emulated is in quotes becuase I suspect it's not emulation at all, but rather recompiled PPC native binaries using the original game's assets) will be running on PPC hardware. Now let's take those PPC versions and port them over to x86 hardware. Like I said, utterly brilliant!
In the interview, he mentions that people who don't have the Live service will be able to download the new binaries to their computers, burn a cd, put that in their 360 and it'll update. I predict that this is the exact mechanism that will initially be exploited to allow arbitrary code to run on these things. Just a hunch...
A paper appeared in the Nov 11 issue of Science about this guy. That's why it's making the rounds right now. Nat'l Geog helped fund the research and coordinated with Science to be able to have it as their cover story next month.
Admittedly, the Enternet 300 program was a PPPoE client, which was necessary at a time when PPPoE wasn't natively supported in the OS. As for the "modem" thing, they're actually transceivers.
I dunno about the space fleet. I looked at mine under the microscope when I was in 4th or 5th grade, and there weren't no space fleet in there. Though I suppose they mighta escaped...
From the photo gallery: Registration, however, is obligatory.
Guess they didn't try hitting cmd-Q during that to skip it. It's worked on every version of the registration screen so far, so I doubt it's been changed for the x86 version of OS X.
Since Sony is also the coinventor of the compact disc, you should avoid buying any form of those, too. That includes ANY audio CD, game/application CD, CD-R, as well as the respective drives/players. Good luck!
It's part of the agent training to pretend we're oblivious to all problems, yet magically know how to solve them anyway.
And here's part of the reason why users quickly get pissed off at tech support when they bring in a real head-thumper. They're used to "unknown/unexplainable" issues getting resolved with no troubleshooting whatsoever.

It's probably been fourteen years since I've had the clue.
Ummm...Not gonna comment on that one... : p

Man. What a fucking cheapskate. Eggs are like, what, $1.29 a dozen?
I live in a CLOSET you insensitive asshole.

I can only assume that your SO either doesn't read
I hate the Drake!

Fucking eggplants! Where do they get off with stealing slashdot's apache section color scheme?!?
...and a bit more funny (side note), they're Colombian. All of them!
:-o
So you're saying that if you're really lucky, you'll get your new 10,000-in-1 game machine home, only to find that the box is filled with cocaine!

It's only the crap you'd expect from an asshole...
Dunno about you, but I don't expect too much else from assholes...

Ahhh, but if you use a felt tip marker to put a ring of green around the edge of the hat, it helps to enhance the signal quality.
Now watch as this gets modded -1 offtopic with good reason
