We've had desks for a long time now with for example a big hole in the middle covered with glass and a computer monitor angled up below it. What I don't need is a computer that is also my desk. I don't even want the former. I think it would be incredibly painful working a whole day just looking down. Your neck would be hurting like hell...
A few days ago I was at the magazine shop of the local train station trying to get me something to read for my 5 hour trip. I was thinking of getting me some Nintendo or Wii magazine...but I found out that reviews don't get much more biased than when it comes to console games.
I know that a game review is mostly a thing of opinion and matter of taste...but the way most of those magazines kept portraying games was so shallow and obviously trimmed for "buy this, get that, spend money here" that I was afraid some advertiser drone would jump out of the magazine right into my face any second.
I find it hard that with a market this big there's really any worthwhile "independent" reviews for games anymore. Are there any gems among the magazines and/or review sites anymore? Where do you turn to if you want to get your hard facts about games these days?
I found that metacritic is a really good starting point, from there you can gather multiple opinions fairly quickly...anything else that's worth browsing?
This tells us tales of a past long gone, mostly "don't fuck with the genepool of labrats or our civilization, too, will come to an end just like 2 to 4 Million years ago".
Or to quote the lyrics from "Propellerheads - History Repeating":
"The word is about, there's something evolving, whatever may come, the world keeps revolving They say the next big thing is here, that the revolution's near, but to me it seems quite clear that it's all just a little bit of history repeating." Just a scary coincidence? I think not!
Finally we have a chance to make this come true! A Beowulf cluster of Robot-monkeys should be so much more efficient than just running them individually!
Can anyone please explain to me please why they can name "their" asteroid in about 4 years? I mean, it's cool to wait a little to make sure everything is alright and this wasn't just speck dust on the lens...but 4 years seems a long time to peer-verify something like this and give them permission to name it.
Also: I suppose those guys must ace all those two-picture "spot the 10 differences" tests after this...
which Sony and co have already said would not be happening, I only have a German reference right now (http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/101796):

Currently being forced to work under Solaris 8 I cannot but laugh at your suggestion that Solaris is "a much better operating system". Thank you, you have made my day.:)
(I know Solaris 8 is like 8 years old by now and newer versions are probably a lot improved...but after this experience I can't be bothered to try them out for a looong time probably).
This should have been modded insightful, not funny...because there's nothing less funny than to connect an USB cable when you can just barely reach (but not see) the connectors. You never know if you just didn't hit the USB-port straight or if you're trying it 180 degrees reversed and have no chance whatsoever.

So what, I find those submissions of him/her pretty interesting. Keep up the good work. :)
Boy are we glad that there's nothing wrong with Vista a complete do-over won't fix!
Am I getting his notion right?
Because everyone knows even undetonated nuclear bombs are leaking radioactivity like hell...or not...

It would have been so much better to make it a temporary mirror for thepiratebay.org :D
Wonder if they would have started a lawsuit against themselves...

But...but....if he is a liar then he's surely really saying that he is living at home with his parents...which gives the whole thing renewed credit. :)

Who expected otherwise?
You forgot that it is probably also "The Year of Linux on the Desktop" again...like every year before. :)
(sidenote: 2007 was "the year of Linux on MY Desktop" at least...+1 to the crowd)

We really need a moderation option "+1 Sarcasm" because there's no way the above comment is funny or insightful...:(
Yeah man, that rocks...start living the big rockstar life and stop fearing the reaper!
