    At my company, there is a strong relationship focus. We can "waste" a lot of time talking about stuff that is only moderately related to work, but it's all valuable.

    At my company, discussing things like "what if our biggest competitor designed a flying car,

    Invest in some Surface-to-air missiles.

    or "if we were to build a new datacentre what colour makes it go faster"

    Forget colour, it's all about the racing stripes.

    P.s Thank you for spelling colour with a "u".

  8. Re:No surprise there on EA Shutting Down Video Game Servers Prematurely · · Score: 1

    Consumers need to demand the ability to run private game servers. Then boycott. If your going to boycott something you should tell they company why you are doing so, I would encourage everyone who is pissed of about this to contact EA prior to the boycott.

    They will listen when they see the market drop. Just because they ignore complaint emails now doesn't mean they will continue to do so when they notice their falling profit line..

    The current internet is not going away, ever. This is just like the "year of the linux desktop" nothing happens we all continue as normal. Perhaps some new protocols will be developed but they will still be run on the internet.

    The reason the Internet is such a success is due to it's open nature. Locking it down will not accomplish anything.

    We have plenty of Uranium here in Australia. But we also have uneducated anti-nuclear coal loving hippies, so there is a ban on uranium mining.

    In the United States you would need at worse case scenario a Chernobyl style accident every 3 weeks to be more dangerous than coal. http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4092
