The bomb, George. The fuel-air bomb. Well now what happened is, one of our base commanders, he had a sort of, well he went a little funny in the head. You know. Just a little... funny. And uh, he went and did a silly thing. Well, I'll tell you what he did, he ordered his planes... to attack your country. Well let me finish, George. Let me finish, George. Well, listen, how do you think I feel about it? Can you imagine how I feel about it, George? Why do you think I'm calling you? Just to say hello? Of course I like to speak to you. Of course I like to say hello. Not now, but any time, George. I'm just calling up to tell you something terrible has happened. It's a friendly call.
But now cable providers are required to provide SD, signals to analog sets till 2012? Isn't this now an unfair double-standard? With OTA television, we allow networks to use our airspace for broadcasting their advertisements, in exchange for some good programming that will make us watch them. With cable, we're PAYING for content (and a good signal) with an expectation that it will work with minimal hassle. The people (or rather, the government which is supposed to represent them) have decided that we don't want any more content-fueled ads on our VHF/UHF band, and thus, we're using it for other things and relegating TV broadcasts to digital signals. Cable operators are still expected to provide analog channels, because 95% of their subscriber base would need to pay for one of the ripoff cable boxes just for any TV if they were digital-only.
It's like advertising toilet paper when you're the only people on Earth who makes it, why would you spend good money on such stupidity? Microsoft makes toilet paper under the brand "Windows".
Mod parent up. This is a prime example of the advantages of cross-platform (and likely, open source as well) libraries and APIs. Had they developed on an SDL-OGL-OAL system in the first place, porting the game would boil down to nothing more than re-doing the online features. As it is, however, they likely have to scrap and rebuild the entirety of the graphics, sound, and input code, before they can even think about the PS3 (which they're not even doing).
Hey! It's called natural selection, and it's been going on for millions of years. Who cares if a species dies out? And don't give me that bull about finding "natural cures" in some substance produced by some obscure plant in the Amazon; that happens infrequently enough that your time is better spent on scientific research than random wilderness hunts. Bottom line is, life moves on. Or at least most of it does.
It's sick to have that massive processing power and a tiny little bit of RAM. I can't imagine what they were thinking. I can.
"Look, you can use the SPUs for on-the-fly decompression!"
So you have a choice between Motorstorm, or your entire library of PS/PS2 games (plus $10). They should have just stuck with the 60gb. Maybe they needed an excuse to raise the price, while lowering costs.
the ludicrous idea of an overarching broadband fee which would be shared out among copyright holders, Next week on Slashdot: US government passes new legislation...
So, if it's human error that caused the problem, how can the swear that it won't happen again? Will there be no more humans working at microsoft anymore? You have failed me for the last time, admiral. *raises chair*
Some would probably even start to call for a Mars mission to rescue the heroes and bring them home. We can send up a delivery ship, and strap on a magnetic hoist, and then get this Chinese girl, and... where was I going with this?
The judge called that bullshit, and the judge was right - just because you don't write something to disk doesn't mean it's unreasonable to write it to disk. It's most definitely unreasonable if you're going to be logging enormous amounts of traffic per day. The court should pay for the hard drive space and CPU time.
But what happens when someone starts trolling the trolls? (i.e. bringing fraudulent lawsuits against people claiming that they were filing fraudulent lawsuits) The Glorious Worker's Revolution?

Pfft. How can you have a footprint if you're flying? Answer that one, Mr. Science.

great, now you've crashed my brain.

No.
But that's only because there's not enough light in the basements to actually SEE them.
Now bear my arctic blast!

Exactly. If you don't like people taking your code and not giving back, don't use BSD.
You see, according to him, we are machines whose purpose is to allow genes to replicate. So Slashdot is like a huge, broken robot?
Uh oh. Er, uh, Allah made me do it.
