I can understand why it would be benifical if everyone had up-to-date browsers. It would make web designer's jobs a lot easier, but there are still some things to consider:
* What about people with older computers that can't run the newer browser software?
* What about all the people who bought internet appliances with browsers that can't be upgraded?
* What about all the people with slow access/unreliable connections that can't dl the new browsers?
* If every page today was standard compliant, wouldn't most up to date browsers have problems?
* Will we every see a similar push for broadband? (You should design your site for broadband, you can do so much more. Don't let those people still using dailup access hold you back. They should upgrade if they want to access your site.)
Quake is just a crutch for those who can't handle Descent.
2. Patent the process of hiring patent office employees.
3. A web browser that will not go to web sites of companies that have silly patents (like amazon.com). It would access an online database that is, of course, open source.
4. The process of taking several sheets of paper and placing information on them, then binding them together.
5. Patent the use of acronyms. (Pay up MPAA:-)
6. Patent the use of the 'word' teh.
7. Patent the process of misspelling words.
8. Patent the process of winning a prize for a web site.

Some people here just don't get it when it comes to Battlesphere. This program was started when the Jaguar was a current machine. Rather than just giving up, these people stuck with it and finished their product. BTW, the programmers all had full time jobs and wrote Battlesphere in there spare time. They have overcome so many obstacles its amazing. My hat is off to these people.
Slashdot Mirror
Umm... isn't this old news. It's been on Slashdot before.
:-)
I thought Hemos was the one in charge of reposting old news
Anyway, it's also been on magazine cover discs: PC Plus February 2001 (#173)
and the (i think) march 2001 issue of Maximum PC and maybe some others.

Has any one actually purchased one of these? I'd love to have one but i'm afraid it might be a scam. Sounds to good to be true. (but i hope it is)
