(Of course, I'd rather we make this as unattractive as possible to these stupid women, so only the good, worthy women get in. That way you get the stupid ones filtered out, and can focus on the few cool, geek girls there are.)
I love Oblivion. It's the game I'm playing right now.
But Oblivion's AI is just ok. It was advertised as a major achievement for humanity, but it turned out to be basic algorithms and hand scheduled behaviour. The alpha versions were supposed to be funnier, but they had to make it suck and keep all characters doing nothing because they'd all get angry and kill each other. They should have found a way around that. You can improve this with a few mods, but it's still not the best.
Right now, what Oblivion does is pretty much what Shenmue did 7 years ago, and what Outcast tried to do even before. Nobody mentioned these two?
What I don't get is why the fuck don't they stick to summer time all the year, at least in my country with my customs. Or I do get it. They waste energy and make consumers pay to favour corporations.
Micropayments in varieties in nominations such as five hundred and ninety-nine U.S. dollars.
Also, I ain't getting any of the DRM shit. They can fuck themselves and stick all their Blu-gay movies up their asses. Same goes for other formats with digital AIDS.
We sent a message and the message was clear: PlayStation 3 is not an incremental upgrade for previous platforms, but it's truly designed to inspire......so here's this giant enemy crab.... And you attack his weakpoint for massive damage....it requires huge financial investment......and we're certainly not interested in gimmicks......So, what does all this mean? Simply put, RIIIIIDGE RACEEEEER!!!!!

SOAP is your typical bloated, overengineered, nauseatingly verbose, terribly inefficient, butt ugly W3C "recommendation". Better not let them "recommend" you anything else.
We only needed RPCs with a standard serialization format covering lists and dictionaries for those who work with productive languages. NOT in XML format, that just sucks, and congratulations on making web services useless for anything where performance is important - even for looping over calls.
- A standard binary, binary-safe serialization format that allows you to serialize simple objects: int, float, (unicode) string, list of any of these types and dictionary of int, float or string any of these types.
- A real, binary-safe, flexible grammar processing tool that allows you to define grammars in EBNF and process them (preferrably, constructing and deconstructing the parse tree), being standard, clean, and multi-language. This will allow you to work with XML as well as other existing exchange formats (INI, CSV, etc.) and absolutely anything else.
XML allows you to discover new business opportunities, maximize your profits, convert visitors into customers, cut development times and optimize cash flows allowing your enterprise to scale to your needs with Web 2.0 AJAX-based solutions built on web services in a SOA. By adhering to best-practice design patterns on XML, your applications can interact with each oth...
(because XML is a universal language and networks did not allow you to do this already.)
The trend is now to build XML (*fap*fap*fap*), then use XSL stylesheets (*fap*fap*fap*) which are XML (*fap*fap*fap*) to process it with XSLT (*fap*fap*fap*) and generate XHTML (*fap*fap*fap*), which is XML (*fap*fap*fap*). For applications to communicate, we development time (and execution time) producing XML (typically with terribly ugly APIs such as *ugh* DOM), then parsing it from the other end.
I may as well suggest a new generation of enterprise Web 3.0 scalable software solutions! Universal XML! By using universal XML, you can make more money and your business will grow and you will have more business business business! It works like this:

I'll start by making it clear that I'm by no means an expert or even knowledgeable on autism. I understand that some cases are so extreme that they can't have the most basic things. However, I've seen a documentary on autists who made me think they are gifted people, not sick people, and that they don't need or want any cure, and so they said. At least some of these people are just major geeks: really good at something, very smart, and terrible at social skills. There's nothing bad with that; they don't waste their time making puns or c(/s)hit-chatting, and concentrate their high intelligence on a profession. One guy was an architect and built an awesome house for himself. His wife -yes, wife- was also autist, and she was a mathematician. So why and with what authority would us "normals" diagnose and "cure" others that are not like us? It's not like they are disabled. In fact, I consider at least these to be more abled than me. After what I saw, I honestly admire them (at least these cases) and think perhaps it would be more interesting to treat social monkeys to make something useful and productive out of them.
The need for package managers in Linux is a consequence of a desgin defect. First, there's the "lol freedom" philosophy of not having one, two or even three different OS setups and layouts, but a gazillion of them, which causes trouble.
Second, there's the FHS, which is the worst idea to ever make it to Unix. You spread your application files like you deal cards in some card games, being completely unable to copy or relocate them, pack and unpack them effectively, or install several versions of the same program, besides being illogocal and semantically wrong in many parts.
Third, there's the defective LD_LIBRARY_PATH behaviour that makes "." mean the launch directory, not the application directory (holy retarded idea, Batman!). This means you can't rely on putting copies or hardlinks of the required libraries in the application executable directory to keep everything using the right libraries and versions and make them easy to distribute. This led Mozilla to find a workaround with a shell script. When you run Firefox or Thunderbird on Linux, what you're running is a shell script (requires an extra sh instance) that properly sets the environment for the software to be able to use its own libraries regardless of the crap you may have in your FHS "boxes of random crap". Consequently, software like Firefox and Thunderbird do not require a package manager (in fact, PMed versions of them are usually spoiled and crappy), and can be safely copied, relocated, or made to coexist with other versions.
Oh yes. Continue to give Microsoft an advantage like that. This bigotry can only be bad for Linux. Talk about being pragmatic (just an excuse): out of the box, Ubuntu will not support 3D acceleration (and I can bet the supplied drivers have poor 2D perfromance or features as well). You have to go through the process of installing the drivers yourself. Quite a step backwards. I can install my drivers. In fact, I make bread on this kind of stuff. But I don't want to waste my time just because some GPL zealots feel that I should waste my time. Then lusers will complain that Linux is a mess or that its graphics performance sucks, or that it doesn't have games, and the same zealots who removed their drivers quickly run to say YOU CAN PLAY QUAKE 3 LOL. With this attitude and stupid bigotry, you expect 2007, 2008, 2009, or 2016 to be the legendary year of the Linux desktop? Not a chance. The open source community, and a very specific part of it, needs to be pragmatic and quit being anal before that can happen. So under my eyes, Ubuntu just lost points.
...it requires huge financial investment-five hundred and ninety-nine US dollars-five hundred and ninety-nine US dollars-five hundred and ninety-nine US dollars-
So, what does all this mean? Simply put- RIIIIIDGE RACEEEER!!!!!!
The essence of the PlayStation DNA is real change- Ahh... Genji 2 is an action game, which is based on Japanese history.
So here's this giant enemy crab. Attack his weakpoint, for massive damage.
I agree. Bill Gates is doing good things, and if what he said about donating his fortune to science when he dies is true, he may very well be humanity's greatest benefactor.
Microsoft, and what he did when he was at Microsoft, on the other hand, is one of humanity's lowest. It hinders technology development, or, to put it simply, rapes our asses. Let's hope they went too far with Vista and the Windows empire falls.
Most women don't like engineering because it doesn't satisfy any of their desires: fashion, gossip, social status and easy money. Most are highly social, and thus, they waste their time on useless (as in "non-functional") things and don't focus. And while there are very good points in some comments regarding how men unwittingly made things easier for them and harder for women, and social conditioning/traditional role models, for example, any mind that has not been tainted by political correctness will realize there's a difference between genders besides what we have between our legs, and Summers was right. And this difference plays against engineering for women, so you'll have a many brilliant female engineers in the world wondering why they are so alone, and political correctness has atrophied their minds (especially leftists', which, as pointed out, are as bad as the religious zealots) to the point they will be unable to reason over it.
Just think of what the average random males and females talk about, even at technical jobs: for males, it'll be the newest Linux, electronics stores, geek jokes, etc. For females, it'll be fashion, fashion stores, and "I saw Rose the other day, she was with a new guy" type crap.
Okay, okay, go back to your cool Flash screensavers. It's not your fault you can't read text we place everywhere you click, like message boxes, big warning boxes, often with sounds and icons, readmes, etc. It's not your fault you can't do what you're told literally hundreds of times, like not using Internet Explorer and not downloading crap like browser toolbars or screensavers. It's not your fault you can't resist clicking on the "Delete" menu item.
So, software engineers are the only engineers who insult their customers, huh? Well, I don't know of any other sector where customers intend to operate expensive, complex machinery without reading a simple manual, with the utmost childish attitude.
The article says that cars are simple... though you are required to assist to classes and pass theory and practice exams before you can be trusted a car (in most countries). Perhaps if we required that kind of license to use a computer, we wouldn't have these problems.
That's one of the reasons why I build my own PCs and why I don't like laptops. Not only they come with Windows, but they come preloaded with all sorts of bull****. A Taiwanese company's round media player that sits on the desktop? How ****ing nice. I always dreamed of having one.:rolleyes: Then you have Intel's wireless crap, "multimedia" keyboards crap, mouse drivers crap, and all the trash everyone wants to place on your system tray, desktop, quick launch bar and Explorer contextual menus, complete with a 6 MB auto-update process for each, their terribly ugly, non-standard interfaces to impact lusers and complete idiots. Seriously, you can tell a person's intelligence by looking at his system tray: the fewer icons the smartest the person. Now that we've got anti-malware tools, we should write an anti-crapware tool that gets rid of the hundred of utterly ****ty system tray utilities and auto-update processes.
I'm amused by how retarded closing this mod is. Perhaps killing your fan base and getting rid of non-commercial projects that advertise and improve the product you're selling for free is the latest business good practice?
This shows Microsoft is not a game company, and is not to be taken seriously for gaming.
Smarter companies like Bethesda do the exact opposite: they release the tools they used to make the game themselves, and support and advertise modding. As a consequence, they get free workforce to improve and advertise the game they are making money with - for little cost. In the last game, they didn't even have to optimize meshes or document the construction set; modders are doing the job for them.
I can DeCSS, and I usually play DVDs with DVD-X-Player, which removes digital AIDS in real time, so that I can play DVDs of any region (no region discrimination) and I can do anything when playing (no prohibited user operations).

But Oblivion's AI is just ok. It was advertised as a major achievement for humanity, but it turned out to be basic algorithms and hand scheduled behaviour.

Right now, what Oblivion does is pretty much what Shenmue did 7 years ago, and what Outcast tried to do even before. Nobody mentioned these two?
So they add retarded domains such as .biz or .info and reject .xxx? Way to go. Perhaps we could get .enterprise and .xml approved instead.
Guess they haven't found 4chan yet
