but that doesn't seem to stop anyone. I've found that marketing rarely has ever been able to prove that the money they spend actually generates returns.
Likely my next vehicle will be a truck. My current old car only gets 20 mpg city/25 highway and it seems that bunch of smaller trucks have met or beat that.
With video games, I don't see it kicking off a renaissance. Huge AAA games still take millions of dollars and that model likely won't change. What may change is the development of Indie games or games that have a history to them.
With board games I do think there is and will be a change. A lot of board games coming out are by indie designers. Before they had to pitch their ideas to a publisher to get published. Now they can pitch their idea to a small group of consumers, get the first run printed and start making a name for themselves. The fact that you are only aiming at thousands of dollars instead of millions makes this a model that will work
I'm sure they are wondering why they should trust in something that seems to always be telling them that they are wrong or that their beliefs don't make sense. It is just like people I know who don't trust the "liberal media", because said media reports things to be contrary to their beliefs.
Exactly how would this stop another person, on another computer, from auto-completing your name and having it associated with certain words? As this is what the article was about.
Maybe it is just the articles I read, but I have to disagree on having instructables.com in the 2nd group. Most of the articles I've read have useful feedback from users who are either showing off what they built, or giving other ways in which it could be done with similar results. Compare that to what you find in the comments on something like cnn or any other massively general interest site, and I find them to be a world apart.
Because we didn't let them have an army, they lost the ability to make decisions and solve problems? Seriously?
Yep. We had to destroy their arguments for logically invading other countries. By forcing them to emphasize that people in other countries are people too, we added an emotional element that destroyed their logical psyche.
It is sort of like when you take a Vulcan and add emotions.
Having 60+ GB files of "open data" being shared seems like a perfect reason to use torrents. Anyone know a reason (technical or legal) for why they aren't?
Have you ever seen a mob? Have you ever seen mob "justice"? The difference between voters and a mob is that only one tends to use pitchforks and flaming bottles of booze.
Democracy is great is people are all informed and able to make informed choices. People CHOOSE not to be informed. They CHOOSE to listen to only one side of an argument and go along with the talking head. In a perfect world, Democracy is awesome. In a perfect world, communism also works.

Hmmm... ISPs taking on Copyright Holders. This might be worth watching *gets the popcorn*
Because they now have an installed application on your computer which they can use to enforce DRM and track information.

Anyone else wish these Jesters got the media attention they deserve.... in other words, none?
Only if they aren't ran on the Amazon cloud
Must be why the IX Legion had so much bad luck. They kept throwing their Javelins at aerial targets instead of ones on the ground.
Hey hey, this is /. We are too busy putting on our tin foil hats.
You are assuming that there are no jobs out there and that people would take a job that they feel is beneath them.
So they'll have red eye flights?
Will forcing users to register email addresses fix the issue of spam in my inbox? I can't see too many Nigerian princes being able to get an account.
Maybe that is because Computer Science isn't IT work?

Damn, wish I could do those sort of things on the computer.
Surely civil liberties is MORE important than economic liberty ? Regardless of which definition of economic liberty you subscribe to ?
But 'dem TV shows tolds me that Economic liberty is civil liberty.
Fun experiment:
Create a color gradient between "grey" and "black". Then pick a color in between them. What would you call this new color?
Dark Grey.

Ah. Was looking at http://planet.openstreetmap.org/ which seems to lack mention of that. Danke.
