Only the stupidest companies like Old Spice would put ads in a game. All gamers are mentally programmed to ignore ads after years of surfing the internet. Even if they paid any attention to them, who the hell would buy deodorant because a screen on their Xbox told them to? That's idiotic. The closest they could get to any sort of actual result is advertising other Xbox games.
this means we're one step closer to bionueral gel packs! (yes I know those didn't actually store data on Star Trek, they processed or relayed commands or whatever) Seriously, you add some nerves to that sucker with the hard drive in the middle and get to to learn math and you've got a computer in a pouch lol
OMG I can't believe they didn't mention the technique of codependant programs that start each other when the other ends. That way you can never delete either one cuz the other one never lets it stop running. That one pisses me off the most:(
No, didn't you learn in history class that the proper way to do it is to wait until the last couple days of your term then pardon like EVERYONE lol. I think just about every president pardoned multiple ppl in the last couple weeks in office
Linux user numbers will continue to grow and broad spectrum adoption throughout the rest of the world will grow and flourish
Oh yeah, what about those people that aren't even technical enough to run Windows? I guess they'll just have to stay behind and become Microsoft's main base of customers lol. But seriously, Linux is kinda hard to use even for me and I'm a programmer. I don't think it's for EVERYONE.
You're right about the humanoid appearance. What's more likely...aliens couldn't go get their "shuttle" after it crashed cuz they didn't have the technology and just let us discover it OR a secret prototype aircraft development location crashed some flying egg and the people inside were burned beyond recognition. Then obviously the PR people wouldn't be told about the details of the craft cuz it's classified so they were just told what to say by the government and he assumed they were covering up aliens.
I don't know why you think 1.6 TB makes a particularly dense storage medium. It doesn't, and I hope that they're working on a serious contender because our civilization's needs for information storage are increasing at a decidedly non-linear rate. Most of the PC-using population doesn't have much use for more processing power right now, but we can all use a bigger hard drive.
I think it's dense cuz that's like 50x better than a DVD and about the same size. If it was a 2 platter hard drive, it would ne 3.2 TB and the largest single hard drive is 1 TB I think. Yeah yeah it's write once, I know that but still. Also 99% of people have like 10% of their 160 GB drives filled up. Only geeky ppl like me have more than half of their 450 GB filled lol. Even multi-family PCs tend to run around 40 GB tops so almost nobody needs bigger capacity like you said. I really, really, really, really, really want a faster boot time and my hard drive is a serious bottleneck. Same with playing video files and generating thumbnails and copying files:( hard drives suck lol

There is no fit all license. Every program is different, designed to be used differently and by a different group of people, and has a different business structure. So yeah, most pieces of software could use their own one.

For all those out there that are going to complain about certain parts of it, let me be the first to say that if you don't like it, DON'T USE IT! Write your own damn license.
The prototype developed by Uzi Vishkin and his Clark School colleagues uses a circuit board about the size of a license plate on which they have mounted 64 parallel processors
Sell the rights to mac, make the processor board a remote device, and cook some eggs on that sucker. Seriously, they say software is the hardest challenge? How about keeping 64 processors on a license plate sized board cool.
I think it will survive it. Obviously that sucker was built Tonka tough lol. It's funny though cuz every time it's about to do just about anything, the scientists say "well this might be the last thing it ever does" just because it's way past the 90 days. It's kinda like how people every year say "yep, those AS400's are on their way out any day now" and then there I was, still sitting in front of an ugly green screen for one of my classes (I changed degree fields after that) I think the rover will be there long enough to bump into an astronaut's foot lol. Unless of course it gets attacked my martian crater monkeys. Those things are vicious.
Before I got banned from Runescape I was super rich and just one decided to sell 10 million gp I didn't need. I got $110 for it on ebay and the guy in game said he was a kinda old dude who had neices and nephews that played religiously and he wanted to get them a nice christmas present of several million gp each but he had a job and didn't have time to play and make that much money. So he was happy and his kids were happy and I was happy and we all lived happily ever after. So yeah, it's not just chinese people selling to obsessed 20 year olds and rich, spoiled kids.
Anyone using it in the actual real world would say after about a day that it was terrible because with the amazing "wipe your finger across it" interface, it will get all smudged up all the time. Seriously, you'd have to stop and either wash your hands every time before you use it or wash the screen every couple minutes.
You'd think the MPAA would be the one to handle that cuz they do all the movie ratings and I don't know but maybe TV ratings for shows and stuff. But of course, if they can't make any money off it why would they ever do their job for someone else? They're too busy suing people lol. But seriously, couldn't game makers get off the hook from the ESRB by saying "well duh, trailers aren't games" cuz yeah, they kinda shouldn't have any control over that legally.
Someone watched The Matrix too many times lol. Most americans don't even want other people (immigrants) doing jobs for them, let alone robots. If someone makes a robot that oversteps bounds that people are comfortable with, people will go nutso and make the government halt the robot technology in its tracks. Plus, is it ever really going to be good enough? I for one HATE those self checkouts and voice recognition call answering systems like Microsoft's. I don't think people would be comfortable with androids taking their order at McDonalds or checking them out at WalMart either. I'm still gonna go build some EMP granades right now though lol.
Did I ever give half a crap about what it even looked like in Mac's Safari before? No lol. Looking at my web stats, I don't even care what it looks like in Safari now that my PC can actually have Safari installed on it lol. If one phone that nobody wants because of the price isn't web friendly, that's their fault. It so Apple to tell the entire internet to change instead of just fixing their own design flaw. Here's an amazing insight into it: nobody will be able see the web page anyway because after about 2 minutes of use with a device that you not only touch, but wipe your fingers across, the screen will be all smudged up and disgusting. Apple should fire every single employee at the entire company and then go out of business and let Linux people make a phone with a goddam stylus.
So if you made such a good (lol, but still) OS that almost everyone uses it now, you can't make any other software for it? You have to keep it the way it is and never change it and never add features? The same people who complain about windows security problems say Vista can't come with a default antivirus, etc. Why don't people like that keep their "I hate Windows" crap to themselves and more importantly, out of the courtroom.
Let's say Microsoft makes their next OS come with awesome media editors, near perfect antivirus and anti-spyware stuff, great searching, and an awesome web browser. So you get your computer and you're all set and everything's great. People who say there's anything wrong with that must not use computers often or something. I'm sick of non-working, ad stuffed, third party crap that somehow gets popular cuz it's the only option and companies get rich off it. The designers of the Photoshop GUI should be shot but there's really no other choice cuz apparently it's the most popular so it became the standard.
Just cuz most versions of windows come with paint doesn't mean people don't buy photoshop and you couldn't pay me enough to use that crappy wav editor that comes with windows instead of Wavepad. If you think your product is better, don't complain that something like it comes with Vista cuz it won't matter. And if you know your product is worse and want to get rid of the better one, then you can also stop complaining because it's your own fault people won't use it and you shouldn't try to elimiate your competition. It's idiotic in general to say you want your main competitor's product eliminated (so you're the only one left) for antitrust reasons.
So I guess they used magic, not a wireless connection, to control the mars rover? Seems like that's be the longest. I think the voyager probes and others used analog, not digital transmissions so they don't count I guess. Pretty sure the rovers used digital though.
Oh well that's easy then. Get a phone with an answering device that will start every call with a recording of you saying "FUCK YOU AND YOUR COUNTRY!" then quietly, "unless you're from the US" and they might just hang up and never call again lol. By the way, your number must be really easy to accidentally dial or you wouldn't get so many whacko calls. What is it, 777-5555? Or is it really close to an American Idol number? Well most likely, it's really, really close to another in-country popular number in Manilla or some other place where if they dial a 1, they get you instead and tons of people are accidentally doing it. If I were you, I'd just change the number. And to be safe, never have it listed and only tell people the new number that you want to call you.
But where would that leave their new game, Sim EA, where you control EA and you split it up buy companies and make games and order your employees around. Thus the "The Sims" category:-P
