I agree that he did make a lot of money, but most of it went right back into protecting animals and the like. Nonetheless his kids will be well taken care of anyway i think.
"A rift between Mr. Zhou and Yahoo China has been developing since before his departure from Yahoo last year, just prior to Alibaba's takeover of Yahoo's China operations.
I would rather see a "No OS" option than a "linux" option. Would Dell decide which distro I get or would there be a giant list? On ibuypower.com you can order a custom PC and have them completely skip the OS install if you want (otherwise you get XP)
i use scroogle.org, its google results but without the tracking of ips and cookies. they even give you a bit of html to stick on your personal website so you can search from your home page.
The next big theme should be westerns, Red Dead Revolver was a great title, but it needed more horse riding. Gun (playing now) has plenty of horse riding but not enough moseying.
From what I hear, a LOT of publishers never delete the fonts that clients bring in to print their stuff. Its pretty commonplace, I'm suprised this hasn't happened before.
But who is to say that the actor Christopher Lloyd knew how to pronounce "gigawatts" correctly. It might have just came out as "Jiga" instead of "Giga".
I knew there was more to it than ping pong, I thought there might have been a secret joke or something that R* would put out a ping pong game, and this is it, their game engine is so advanced that they can take a minigame out of the full game and release it as a full fledged game on its own. At first I thought it just just a throwback to Pong but now I can see the truth, this will be one awesome engine.
My only beef with OO is that they only distribute it in RPM's. Not every linux user is running a system that uses RPM package management! For petes sake just co-release a tarball with the source so I can just compile it myself. I though it was OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE, not CLOSED TO NON REDHAT DISTROS.
I'm still not understanding how it's legal to force competition into ones own products. Has anyone ever been on a plane, and seen logo's and advertisements from competing airlines? No (Only the airlines partners are advertised in the airlines planes). Has anyone ever watched a Marvel Comics movie and seen advertisements for Vertigo Comics movies? Not really. How about purchasing a Telephone, do they have a pamphlet showing you all of their competition's products and so forth (unless used to market a "superior product" "We're better than THIS hunk of junk!").
To use the oft-favorite car anology...
If Microsoft was a car company, they would also own the worlds largest oil company, and try to pressure you into only buying M$ gas for M$ cars because any other gas made your car slow, unsecure, and communist.
It's not a game loading complex 3D worlds and sound effects
Does anyone remember the Easter Egg in MS Excel to fly around a 3d world of mountains? Talk about bloatware, it seems half of Excel developement goes into makes a new 3d game for each release. Here is a link to source http://j-walk.com/ss/excel/eastereg.htm
Speaking of modded Xbox's...I slapped a chip in, added a custom faceplate with an LCD screen on the front, and put a 250 gig hard drive in my Xbox. With XBMC I have (in my opinion) the ultimate media center. I have over 60 games installed and about 2 dozen movies with plenty of room for new stuff all accessible without having to change a disc. It also streams 500 Shoutcast radio stations, has one of the best visualizers for partys, can stream movies or music over the wirelass network, AND tells me the weather outside. Xbox might have been a technically financial failure for Microsoft, but screw them, my Xbox is better than a 360.
I wish i had the bankroll to get into HAM. I live in the woods and another way to communicate would be nice. Plus I predict that after the US government is done raping and pillaging the internet, IP over HAM might take off among those who know how, and want to keep a free internet.
The need all that room to put in features like DRM, government backdoors, and **AA backdoors so the people in charge can know what the users are doing.
Fashion leads to terrorism AND pedofilia, you don't support those right? Of course not, please put on your blue overalls and let the Ministry of Truth search your Fed-Ex packages for Pedo-Terror DVDs.

Hellloooo hasn't anyone heard of scroogle.org?
root is default when you install linux, you then have to add a user if you have any clue as to what you are doing.

Wow thats like having 48 diffrent televisions all tuned to a diffrent channel, completely overkill. teach him to copy the CD's to a hard drive.
this just needs a midi rimshot for effect.
I showed the clip to my wife and the only thing she said was "They don't have partys" and walked out.

The reason it hangs on every action is because it needs a moment to transmit what you are doing and looking at to microsoft.whitehouse.gov

Yeah Metal Slug was deffinately released for the Xbox
