    No, but "I ran" does.

    Poor people use older stuff because thats all they can afford.

    Why else would MS get involved...

    Because nobody wants SQL Server, and they need to spread some more FUD about its competitors.

    What a poor world you live in where everything has to be measured in monetary profit.

    What a strange world you live in where everything is free.

    Don't you recognise him? That post was made by Montgomery Scott when they came for the whales. They didn't show it in the movie, but only a Slashdotter could type as fast as he did.

    This is expected, did MS write anything well-structured in their history?

    It might be much more accurate with Slavic languages, becase past and future tense have different forms for males or females. So I'd guess more than 65% just from looking at verbs.

    What's 1 SD worth?

    Not much.

    And by the way, Slashdot is usually abbreviated as /.

    No, they didn't. They just redefined the meaning of 'evil'.

    Pray they don't redefine it any further

    They needed to do an experiment to figure this out? The millions of people that say it constantly wasn't proof enough?

    The millions of people were just holding their glasses wrong. Or bringing their car floor-mats to the cinema. Or something else, like intentionally exploding their laptop batteries.

    Well, let's see, gold was trading for around $350 an ounce not too long ago, and it's now well over $1,000 per ounce. Basically, that would have us living with what, 200% inflation?

    No, it's the other way round. If a commodity that used to cost $350 now costs $1.000, that means that dollars had 200% inflation in that time period.

  14. Re:The REAL Problem... on Developer Panel Asks Whether AAA Games Are Too Long · · Score: 1

    I think the sooner the "Game" Industry realizes that there are really 3 distinct types of games, each catering to different types of gamers who have different wants and needs, the better off they'll be.

    I don't know, it's quite likely they will soon realize that Simple Games are the one that make the most money with the least investment, and abandon the rest.

    Google is only as evil as WE allow them to be. Stop giving them business, and they won't be able to abuse their position. If you keep giving them business in spite of their near-monopoly, then don't complain when the obvious abuse happens.

    Microsoft is only as evil as WE allow them to be. Stop giving them business, and they won't be able to abuse their position. If you keep giving them business in spite of their near-monopoly, then don't complain when the obvious abuse happens.

    There is still an important difference, known as the "Microsoft tax". It's difficult to find a computer without Windows installed, mostly because of Microsoft's licensing policies to OEMs. Google has a monopoly because people (the end users) voluntarily choose their services. Microsoft has a monopoly because of agreements with other large companies, not because of the users' choice.

    If only there was a tool where we could all host (or serve) our own Pages.. We could link them together, almost like a web of pages. Of course, it would have to have standards, follow established protocols, and have a tool to "browse" the pages.

    And why the internet is going to rapidly degrade into region specific websites where those areas with larger/richer populations will see excellent services and those with smaller/poorer populations will be severely under served.

    You mean there are going to be web services available only in America? And video sites will be able to selectively block videos in certain regions? And web-based game stores will have different prices depending on where you live? No, you must be joking.
