Hats off to Carmack for making 3D gaming a reality on the PC, but it's time to say goodbye for now. His best work as of recent has been the X-Prize and not gaming related. What has he released lately to say otherwise??
I've quite impressed with the performance of WINE, however these stats can be a little deceiving. These stats are based on a game that works. Getting the game to work in the first place can be quite a challenge. But for the part-time gamer that doesn't wanna be chained to Windows, this is a great alternative indeed!
I've been all over Wisconsin including Milwaukee, Madison, and Greenbay. I've noticed a pretty bad obesity problem pretty much everywhere I've been... especially when you compare it to other states and cities. These long cold winters take a toll up here:)
I live in Wisconsin and that virus must be all over the place judging from the amount of obesity here! Flamebait me if you will, but it's pretty bad here!
It's great to see private companies encouraging this kind if creativity! But at the same time its sad to see billions of federal tax dollars going to complete waste. I can't help but imagine if the US put billions into science and technology and not blowing up countries.
A note to Linux users.

"If you are an experienced C# developer looking to move to Mono for Linux support, this is NOT the book for you. It is a very basic level introduction to development using Mono and C#. It also contains several editing and content mistakes including misplaced screen shots, and simple factual errors such as describing INSERT and UPDATE as DDL and SELECT as DML (they are all DML). Frankly I expected more from APress."

I really don't understand all the hype with del.icio.us. The site itself is extremely boring and lacks creativity. It's just a collection of links on various subjects or did I miss something?

This show would be better if it were like The Office. Have the IT guys in there aswell as nerdy users, but this intense focus on it is too much. They are gonna burn out within the first few shows.
While is sad to see Netscape fizzle away, it was the browser that took on IE and fought the good fight. Mozilla and Firefox are the next evolution in the fight against IE. There is one constant in this universe though and that is Internet Explorer:( Hopefully this stiff competition will make IE a good browser once again.
Yet another reason to buy AMD. I dumped Intel back when I had a brandnew Celeron 400 and have never looked back. I see a class action lawsuit in the future:)
Google hasn't done anything countless other companies have done. But because thits Google the press goes crazy with it. This is laughable to say the least. The more China gets exposed to influences from other countries, the better off they are. Google alone can't dictate policy in China. But once they are established, change can occur.
So what if there aren't many women in tech jobs....maybe thats because they don't wanna be there. How many men are in nursing as compared to women? You don't see too many male hookers either;) It's a non-issue that bores me quite frankly.
"It is also significant because the Google page will let people know if their search results are being restricted, something that doesn't happen if the filtering is done by the government."
That's not acceptable. People there know they are being kept in the dark. Simply telling them that they are is adding insult to injury. What a joke! On the flip side, Google and others need to be there and push the boundries. Eventually China will open up. It's just a matter of time because you can't keep a good thing like freedom down.
"Ignorance is not a defense" That's a classic one. Seriously though... what if you played stupid like you don't even know what p2p is and stick to denying d/l. Of course they'll come back and say we have IP logs. But can't you use the "IP spoofing" or "I have a wireless router" idea? I would argue, ok if I stole this song... where is it? Show me that the one you apparently saw on my computer exists? A good defense could win the case I bet.
I have no problems with wiretapping. Bush just needs to get authorization and have some oversight. If he would just use the proper channels, this wouldn't even be an issue. Tapping converstions on your own stinks of communism and evil dictatorships.
I find it somewhat interesting how Google rightfully doesn't want to cooperate with the US government on this issue, but I also find it funny how they will appease the Chinese government when its in their best interest.
I've been using MAME to play some old games. After 15 years, I still can't finish Rolling Thunder! What an awesome game that was. I did however finish Ikari Warriors. Damn, I'm old:(
Google's cache is often times the only way to read an article posted on here. Also, its a good resource for people behind firewalls and can only pull up a cached version. It's a good win for Google.
With high tech countries like the US performing so poorly in math/science and just about everything else... why on earth would we unleash this on poor nations? Would they be better of with a $100 device that makes clean drinking water? I mean there has to be something better to put all this effort towards. I understand its a noble cause, but I think its misdirected.
For a company that has more money than most countries, I find them rather dull. Vista is boring, XBox 2 is blah, and this portable strikes me as dull. It just seems like MS has kinda faded in the background while newer more innovative companies have stolen the spotlight. When I hear MS, I just yawn.
ID doesn't belong in the classroom as part of a science class. There is absolutely no evidence to support it at all. Science is far from iron-clad, but there are at least observations and experiments to back up theory. ID on the other hand seems to stem from a lack of observation and depends more on faith and ignorance. I don't want my kids taught something that has absolutely no foundation from which to build on. Science has that. Until ID proponents can find the blueprints for us, they have nothing. Think about it, there is more evidence that Bigfoot exists than there is of an intelligent designer.

Way to lead the pack MS!!!!
