I applied to Origin Systems in the late 80's after I got my CS Degree, I was 28. Had a phone interview, at one point the guy (kid?) interviewing me told said "You're kind of old, we don't think you could handle the pressure."
Seriously..28...kind of "old"?
Lulz.
I may be mis-remembering, but at PS3 Launch OtherOS support was not in the Firmware yet (1.3 or 1.5 something), OtherOS came to the firmware later...1.6 something?
So they could say they added a feature then took it away until the date they started shipping the systems supporting OtherOS out of the box.
Or maybe it was support for OtherOS Linux other than Yellowdog that was added later. I forget.
I use Other OS, haven't updated yet and the DNS hack seems to not work anymore to get on PSN.
So, does that mean that everyone who paid for a Unix license from SCO can sue SCO to get a refund? Or is Microsoft too embarrassed to admit what they have done?

I got boned by that "Keep" DLC with the storage box. I made it to the top of the Keep, killed everything, on the way out I notice that Picture you click to make a chest pop out of the wall..I'm overloaded so, Hey I'll just bop down to the storage box, unload and come back.
NOPE! Since I "Beat" the Keep , the doors now no longer open, Chest lost forever. I was so pissed.
They could have just dumped that damn storage box at camp since the door to the keep was closed forever after you beat it. I paid for that damn Keep and now I can't enter it? What Bullshit.
It also said that due to royalties it would need to be more "selective" about track listings,...
This sounds like "let's include more stuff like "Visions" and "I'll get By" where the artist is happy we included them in our game, not like those big rock stars with their big egos and good music and wanting a decent royalty, a pox on them!"
I use VB.NET (2005 and up) mostly at work. Back in the olden days when I was in college, we learned, in order. BASIC 1 & 2, FORTRAN, COBOL 1 & 2 and then ASSEMBLER for your degree.
I was a VIC-20 hacker and then moved to C-64 and then ATARI 800XL (mixing basic and ML) before I started my college days. When Turbo C came along I bought that and learned a bit on my own, by that time they were also teaching that at the college I had went to so I went back and took a semester of C.
I like all those languages, but BASIC is still my favorite. I'll take an app I've coded here for work, and for fun, recode it in C# (or even C...C++ I consider a nightmare), but really, there is no difference anymore speed wise for your basic apps. Yeah, I'm not writing device drivers or sending bits through serial ports or IN and OUT ing to the sound card, but then not everything needs to be coded to the bare metal ALL THE TIME. When it's required I can do it, but most of the time, it's not
Yeah, back in the day I ditched basic for a while and used C because the basic interpreters were slow. But today, I'm happy with VB.NET (and C#).
I'll never understand the hate for BASIC. It's a tool, you can use it right or you can use it wrong.
I heard they were going to use dead cats, but the "101 Uses for a Dead Cat" publishing lobby vetoed that idea as changing the title of the book series to 102 would be too costly.

The little bottles of liquid you put in your gas tank when you have water in the line? Alcohol! It evaporates the water in the line just like drinking gets rid of the cushion around your brain. So try to drink water while, or directly after, drinking.

IANAL... But I believe you are already joined, unless you "opt out" by fileing your own suit. Isn't that how class actions work?

Oh brother you're on a roll, where's the "douchebag with mod points" report button?
You modded the Parent troll? Got a stick up your ass or something? That was funny.
Isn't this how the lastest guy who claimed to hack the PS3 did it also? Copycats! :)

Well, as car analogies go, compared to what I've seen here before it's a pretty good one.
