Why? he is saying he is going to run it from CD-ROM. Nothing gets onto

If "murder" means "unlawful kill", then since the laws of aramaic tribes
in 2000BC are not at all like today's, the distinction is meaningless.

The meaning of "murder" is locale-dependent. I seriously doubt God
would use such poor wording.

I thought you had "shut me out"? What happened, lack of will?
I suppose this post of yours is not "saying nothing", according
to some perverted standard, too.
You believe I "started pretty good" simply because the object of
my derision was Aaron, who you seem not to like. Since the differences
between you two are negligible to me, you are now getting several
spoonfuls of the medicine you so enjoyed Aaron drinking.
Of course then I am not "pretty good" anymore. That's a self-serving
double standard, but I am not too surprised.

Well, when I originally write the script, the problem has already
been identified (using my incredible intellect :-), so there is
no need to write immediately write a script to do that.
No...the more immediate problem is to solve the problem.
Once the problem is solved THEN you can start working on ways
for the system to automagically avoid the problem in the future.

See above. The original problem-fixing scripts are written

Well, when sliverdick goes to bed at night, he has nightmares that
George Bush is hiding under his bed.
Strangely, whenever he turns on the lights, and looks under the
bed....there's nothing there other than his semen-stained copies
of The Communist Manifesto and other Marxist diatribes that get
him all so giddy.
There's a connection there, but sliverdick can't see it.

Well IMHO it is worthless for any Linux developers to go into the Game

Hmmmm I guess it's better for you to READ what you said:
"Windows Media asf/MPEG3" - Try it, focusing on the "MPEG" part and and not
"Windows Media asf".
MPEG is not a trademark neither a creation from M$, and it is widely
available for any OS.

Most of us knew the Indrema didn't have much of a chance as a game
console, simply because attracting game developers requires the
sort of capital that small companies simply can't get. As an
all-in-one entertainment box its odds were slightly better, but
there isn't much of a market for those yet. So, like many other
consoles (Intellivision III, SNES-CD, M2, etc.) it'll go down as
a footnote of what might-have-been.
As for Microsoft, their chance of success in the console biz is
reasonable. This is because they're shipping powerful hardware running
a standard architecture that's geared for ease-of-development. However,
selling consoles is still no way to make a quick buck, nor is it a
place where monopolies can thrive for long - but the coming battles
for console market share should be interesting...
