GS: So what's the story behind the name?
HM: The idea is that as a publisher, we're more of a service group. So our job as part of the deal is to promote the developer. It's their name on the box. We do advertising and promotions, but it's their name in the highlight and we're in the background. And that's how it should be.
who'd want to work with them and be called penisheads?

yeah, installing hardware thats made in 1701, putting dirt, moles and meatballs into the case, and having the case burn in chaos shouldn't be more than 3/10.

but if it takes thrice as long to write stuff to the flash drive than a hard drive, then the millisecond benefits of the better access times are gone, aren't they?
http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/flash2005.ars/9
and microsoft says it can use the flash drive when its out of memory (readyboost, not readydrive), but wouldn't it writing at small KB bursts be extremely slow according to the benchmarks above (most drives had 400KB/s write for 32KB bursts)

Researchers measured the students' heart rate and galvanic skin response before, during, and after gameplay. Those who played the violent video games were more pumped up during gameplay than while viewing the video. The opposite was true for the non-violent gamers.
oh wow, what an amazing discovery!!
suppose all their heartbeats were 100 b/X during the violent video. action packed violent games caused the gamers to go 150b/X, while solitare gave gamers 60 b/X.
OH WOW! violent games numb players to real violence!!!
either the article was written incorrectly, or it was a bullshit study.

the same news from another site:
http://www.techweb.com/wire/security/191101268;jsessionid=FRYVA2OVQ5CM0QSNDLPCKH0CJUNN2JVN
Firefox's extensions have been criticized for lax security ... better extension security should be considered by Mozilla,
you first have to get infected by the "Downloader-AXM Trojan ", then open up the exe attachment from your mail. Once thats done, it obviously has full control over your pc. they made it sound like a firefox exploit, what on earth can firefox do to prevent its binaries from being modified, have a firefox daemon running in the systray?
anyone actually clicked the link in question? from the McAfee website:
Websites were found to be linking to the FormSpy website hosted at IP address 81.95.xx.xx and installing FormSpy using an old VBS/Psyme exploit targeting Internet Explorer. These websites are believed to have been penetrated and modified by hackers. VBS/Psyme can be detected proactively in Internet Explorer (IE) with VirusScan ScriptScan (VSE8.0i feature) enabled; whilst FormSpy can be detected proactively using the latest DATs and engine.
This is a detection for a malware that was discovered in the wild on July 24, 2005 (PST). Its installer was proactively detected as New Malware.ag (now Downloader-AXM).
It is installed as a Mozilla/Firefox component extension and will forward data submitted in the web browser to a malicious website.

The biggest problem with getting it moved to Linux is not the graphics part, but the sound. The windows version of Doom3 engine does use some DirectX for sound, and Linux has a very poor sound standard.
isn't the standard (which also supports 5.1)+ called ALSA? you must be thinking of the old days of OSS, but that was several years ago.
physics which again would require some major code change over to linux
thats very unlikely, directx 9 doesnt have any physics code. unless they used something like .NET or microsoft libraries for physics (VERY unlikely), the code should be easily portable (its mostly math, no direct hardware interaction (PhyX card aside).

ms office has so many collaboration features, and there is no non-linux/bsd opensource application that does that. openoffice was designed for individual users.
there are high-end DTP opensource DTP tools that can have the same quality as major ones, but its either too difficult and/or only works in linux

"Linux creator Linus Torvalds said on Wednesday he had patched his operating system kernel to fix a bug that had been preventing the virus from running."
ooookaaay...
and it seems you need WINE (windows binary runner) for it to work in the beginning?!
