That sort of crazy stuff happens if you're not a "power user", but lock it down with ruthless customization and excise all unwanted services and use all non-MS software and you will have NO problems. It all comes down to knowing your system- every windows installation is a completely different creature and you have to learn to wrestle your personal installation into the configuration that you want it. Not the best strategy for large corporate rollouts I guess. I definitely know what you mean though, Vista is very temperamental and it takes more technical zen than hard fixes to tweak things most of the time.
Uh, anyone who likes any consoles is definitely not in my slashdot in-crowd. First-person shooters are where it's at, and I roflirl every time someone praises some stick-twiddling console FPS
Because they're using software made for inserting ads into or rewriting the HTTP stream, and that software is very evil. I think it's a very neat idea that's also very scary.
Oh yeah, those pesky patches fixing bugs in gameplay and adding new content. Please, play through HL2 RTM and then play the current Steam version; your heart will leap for joy every time you see the updater pop up. Also read the changelogs for Counter-Strike and TF2. If you're playing the orange box version of TF2 I laugh in your general direction, because there have been dozens of critical bugs fixed and the gameplay has been tweaked to actual playability since the beta/release. Do pyros still do 2 damage per second in the PS3 version? Yes, yes they do. Have fun patching a DVD.
How do you even play shooters with a controller? It's not a few "diehards", it's anyone that's ever gotten good at a PC shooter. You simply can't switch from owning with a mouse to fiddling with little sticks.
If you have a PC that will run Orange Box, why do you have consoles? They're retarded PCs with far less selection of games; get yourself some good PC games and trash your PS3 and (what were you thinking) wii. Get orange box and CS and you'll never look back.
Hydro's not at all symmetrical, so that's understandable. Red's final CP is ridiculously easy to cap, while blue can hold out for a long time in their little basement bunker. Granary and 2fort are so close to 50% to be irrelevant, but I'm very interested about the Well statistic. That map is completely symmetrical, except for a lot of the theming and coloring in each sprawling base.. could there be a psychological effect? Also those kill-density maps are nonsense, there's no way that more snipers get killed on the tower platform in dustbowl stage 1 than blues die taking the upper hallway.
Spike has a lot of crap, but come on they're the only ones who still air Star Trek in syndication. During the summer when they've got 2 episodes of DS9 after an episode of TNG.. on vacation no way I'm going outside during the afternoon. And Voyager has made about half my TV viewing lately, also on Spike.
I realize some of the EDU IP addresses may be from a private NAT (Network Address Translation) which enables multiple hosts on a private network to access the Internet using a single public IP address. It is safe to say the numbers are probably a bit higher than the data shows but I wouldn't imagine it would be significantly higher.
My 10000 student school has only a few dozen IPs. Yeah, a "bit higher".
But that has nothing to do with sentencing- she was guilty doh but she doesn't deserve to be slapped with hundreds of thousands in fines. There's no way she's filesharing ever again, it's not exactly a deterrent.
It's not "secret" at all. Durova is infamous on wikipedia- everyone hates her and anyone that openly opposes her is getting landslide votes in the ongoing arbcom elections. Everyone knows what happened with !! and the "secret" mailing list is no secret- the arbitration committee does meet in private and they're allowed to have communication independent of the rest of wikipedia. Not only that, but this mailing list specifically is known to me and I'm not even a sysop, just some guy who's been hanging around freenode #wikipedia lately. If people would log onto IRC for 5 seconds, this wouldn't be such big news.
No.. RMS is saying don't use the licenses because the naming is awkward. I'm saying use the licenses, just don't use the awkward naming! His is the stupid position. And for the love of God, if I get modded flamebait one more time in this story for criticising RMS, I'm.. I'm going to start metamodding!
So don't say under a creative commons license. Open Source licenses are very diverse too- for one, I want to know whether my code is going to catch the GPL virus, and whether I can use it for commercial purposes. "Open Source" doesn't tell you that- even microsoft's insane Shared Source is technically open.

Not only that, you can fry eggs on the multicore processor in the memory cards.
NO, never run any simulations! If it can be shown possible to simulate a universe, it's infinitely likely that we're in some sub-simulation of someone's universe simulation.
The instant pcworld bashes Vista it somehow gains credibility on slashdot I guess :)
seems to me unlikely that scientists can possibly be all that familiar with the dynamics of dust accumulation on THE RINGS OF SATURN.
The problem with SSL certs is that they only establish that you're connected to a particular domain. DNS is still vulnerable. --~~~~
Wow, you sir are a genius and I can't belive nobody has thought of that threat before. Hm.
You're going to get modded funny and I'm going to groan :/
update: modded funny 1 minute into my 2 minute posting timeout for the GP post! grooan

THOUGHT PROCESSES?!?!?
If you enjoyed S&M ep1, install Steam. Episode 4 is also free.

Exactly, this story is ridiculously sensational. It's "coming apart at the seams" "rocked"... what now??!

Idiot moderators, why am I modded down for flamebait?!
