Nay, lad, ye can tell t'is good 'caurse the first comment on slashdot be an insulted mac user. Wot bloke said it was about getting yer product recognized ought to be swabbin' the deck. Yarrh, wot it's really about is makin yer competitors look like a bunch o' land lubbin' elitists.
This feels like old news, to me. We've had cars which could drive themselves, including driving safely in traffic, so long as said traffic and roads had appropriately placed magnets. We're not going to have a breakthrough in self-driven vehicles if everyone else on the road has to strap magnets to their cars, and the roads all need a magnet placed every six feet. Call me when they figure out how to make cars use GPS and accurate road-maps to navigate without the magnets, then use distancing optics to keep the car from colliding with things. Even then, the lack of liability and our natural distrust of technology will keep them off the roads.
Besides, I really enjoy driving; if you get bored, just contemplate the fact that you're controlling two tons of steel propelled by explosions! (hooray straight shift)
game developers settled this issue fifteen years ago with difficulty options. What is frustratingly difficult to one gamer will be a welcomed challenge to another.
This is incorrect. Detecting WIMPs is a simple matter of computing CM^2/V, where C is equal to courage in the presence of the other gender, M is equal to total muscle mass, and V is equal to vocal frequency.
Today, it was found that, in nearly one hundred cases world wide, a small subculture of amateur physicists deluded by the works of Philo T. Farnsworth, inventor of the television, have been admitted to local hospitals for radiation poisoning. It is currently unclear whether or not contacts of these science fiction fans have also been exposed to dangerous amounts of radioactive isotopes, and further investigations are preceding.
I think Piracy is overblown. There's no way to confirm that when a game doesn't sell well, it's because everyone went out and pirated it, and it seems to have become a scapegoat for shitty developers. However, if developers want to ensure that their games are not pirated so that they can make a profit, it's up to them. Who else is responsible? The pirates can't be expected to have some sort of moral enlightenment, especially considering the product they are "stealing" is in infinite supply, and the government and tax payers shouldn't be responsible for the ineptitudes of large corporations who can't secure the scarcity of their product. This means that marketing games will become about marketing DRM, too, because no one wants shitty, restrictive DRMed games that are a burden to the paying gamer. I don't pirate games now, but if I can circumvent bad DRM's with a pirated copy, I will in the future.
The president isn't meant to be a person like you or me. He's meant to be a paragon of leadership, diplomatic intellect, economic understanding, legal fairness, and some other nice words.
As a side note, there was an article up a couple weeks ago proving that NASA is an excellent investment, fueling research into new materials and other technologies that will be used by thousands of different areas of industry.
Meh. I've found that being able to play guitar and being able to play guitar hero aren't necessarily related. You may pick up the rules faster, but there's a big difference between pressing a button and actually holding a note. Mostly; I'm not required to reach seven inches and five buttons since notes repeat themselves nicely and logically in any scale you'd want to solo.
Avoid censorship? Is that why Manhunt 2 blurred their previously brutal kill scenes so you couldn't actually make them out? I'm a legal adult and I can't buy a game with brutal, gut wrenching violence because such games are censored by the industry.
What do I have more contempt for? Halo, or Jack Thompson?... Jack Thompson, clearly.

After analyzing and considering the study, I still think that, while the facts are compelling, ideologies take a back-seat to logic.
I think they're called "Precogs".

Is this only for the victims, or... ?

Good thing I've blocked all the picture windows in my house and dorm.

Not directly, no, but the effects of digital attacks on a country's infrastructure can result in suffering and fatalities, nonetheless.
Sorry, did you say "centripetal force"? Get out.

Bah, what good is that measured against a true intellectual genius of a less and less violent age?
In Soviet Russia, games play you. Damnit. And I promised the last time I made a Soviet Russia joke it would be the last...
Does first hand experimentation count as scientific evidence, 'cause if it does, I'm going to go write my thesis.
This conflicts with my scientific studies of Xbox Live trash talk percentage in comparison with PC FPS's.

It'd be nice if Mario saved Christmas by kicking Sonic's speedy blue ass, but I suppose it's not in the cards... Or bits.

That's why you include "Self destruct code ___" in every machine.
