Near the end he proposes something that is actually somewhat logical. Tack on an additional fee to ISP bills (he doesn't name a price but the idea is not new). I'm not sure about everyone else but I wouldn't mind paying an extra $10/month if I had unlimited music downloads.
They may entertain us but it wont be a good day when every longshot ever suddenly takes place at once.
"Is that pig..... flying"
"WHAT?! Did Shaq just make a free throw?"
"Holy @#$# RIAA just dropped a lawsuit!"
etcetera infinitum
Well my laptop has wireless internet and a wireless mouse, why not wireless power? I'd gladly accept a benign tumor or two if I could get more than 3 hours out of my battery.
From the linked article
"This legislation is an important and necessary step in the fight to maintain our competitive edge in a global marketplace" It may just be me but this might encroach on a few more amendments to the constitution.
You would not need to be found guilty at trial to face this penalty. That bypasses the "Do the crime" bit since they haven't proven you've actually done the crime.
While this definitely isn't new it's always a good thing to get another pair of eyes on code. Turning it into a competition has the tendency to trick programmers into doing better or working harder with a (sometimes false) sense of personal gain.
I don't think it's defined per state. My non-compete says that I can't solicit any of their clients for 2 years for any work. As long as I don't snatch up someone they've been working with the non-compete doesn't inhibit any of my actions.
Well lets differentiate between the home market and an EDSAC. You can't just grab a joystick and enjoy your game of tic-tac-toe on your TV with an EDSAC.
"Look honey, it's naughts and crosses, OH MY GOD IT BURNS!"
All in all it was a good watch, nothing I didn't know before, but fun nonetheless. It was nice to see Ralph Baer get some much deserved credit though it was quickly slapped aside when one of the commentators mentioned that it didn't matter who invented video games.
While deftly parrying a key story point is one way to go, giving the character a name (even if restricted to Shepard) gives you even more to grab onto to pull yourself into the story.
One nice feature that would have really put the story over the top for me is: Remember the Madden Superstar mode a few years back that let you select from a HUGE! list of surnames and they had voiceovers for each name. Instead of limiting a character to shepard it would be cool to put in your last name. It's ton of extra work given all the dialog but you could just smoothly tack on the name instead of creating the same thing 8 times with different surnames
Well you sort of made a sub-point with the word "Professional." If they are professionals they have the money to pay for photoshop. The list was alternatives for the average person to which GIMP indeed is. If I had the money to pay $600+ for any of Adobe's insanely overpriced tools I would.
The same can be said conversely. I've used GIMP for 3-4 years and just looking at Photoshop makes my eyes bleed. We've used our preferred software so long the "opposition" looks ugly and unintuitive by comparison.
I'm not sure why everyone downplays GIMP to seem like a MSPaint alternative, it is extremely powerful. It is capable of _much_ more than cropping photos and cleaning up JPEG artifact. Lets run down a list of features here.
GIMP (X denotes missing features in PS)
Layers
Filters
Insane amount of formats supported- X
Custom scripting extensibility- X
Access to source to customize GIMP- X
I would add more to the list but I'm at work. Feel free to do it yourself
The amount of features really depends on whether you know python or the script-fu thing it uses so you can script your own features. There is an enormous repository of plugins that can be downloaded which rival if not exceed Photoshop's feature list. Many complain about the UI but has mostly become moot with GimpShop

Standards, Quirks and Useless Crap. Sounds good.
Well Microsoft got close, why do you think they moved them all to Siberia?

If they grow wings we're screwed
Don't forget Mass Effect 5...... thousand
He obviously attending the Yogi Berra classes at the University of Logic.
Hooray. I gave 100 bucks earlier this year along with donating during the Desert Bus for Hope run. Congrats guys and good job.
Yes, it's been offered for a few years now. Though not every carrier offers it.

There is already a company that does user-rated/controlled search, it's called Mahalo. It's nothing new

As long as it's not called the EV Pinto we'll be fine.
Very nice but how long until they come standard with warp drives?
