Until you start seeing pixel artifacts and you get more and more annoyed by the low bandwidth issues.
At that time, all you do is spot artifact after artifact and loose attention to whatever was on.
Maybe people consider this a good thing, only because their mind is no longer focussed on the bad content.
Try watching a game where your mediocre team is doing badly while there are pixel artifacts to enjoy.
Well, it is all clear now. Canada is included so it must be true.
The problem with all previous reports was that Canada was not included which resulted in not correct measurements.
Everybody knows Canada has such vast cold areas that any 'warming' can be proven if you do accidentally leave 'cold' out.
The problem with emulating the Vectex is that it is a vector based console, not raster based graphics. No matter what you would do in an emulator, you would have to translate the vector graphics into raster and that would take a way the one thing that made the Vectrex unique.
What happens a lot is that the sales people tell we can do A, B and C for you. Then pricing happens, and client is only willing to pay for A.
Contract is limited to A and closed. Then client figures out that in the end they need B and C.
Is that the sales peoples fault?
I still think this is a difficult case and am not aware of all details.
You are almost right. HP does not play a part in your conversation until 2008. EDS told BskyB that they would deliver a CRM system with golden monkeys, BskyB changed their idea for the system to blue unicorns. The whole delivery tanks, HP buys EDS in 2008 and gets the bill for another 900m pounds.
The judgement is expected to change the legal basis for sales pitches and contracts. It is likely to mean that IT services companies will have to be very careful about what they suggest they are able to do during sales meetings, as they may be held accountable even if discussions are informal.
I am not worried about something that may happen in billions of years. I think the chance that I will be around then is even smaller.
What we should be aware of is that if this can happen, it may already have happened in some other solar system...
A Jupiter like planet has been catapulted out of another solar system and is planning a visit... Latest calculations predict collision with Earth somewhere at the end of 2012.
Exactly, when Intel finally pushes AMD out of business, the practice of selling server class hardware below market will no longer continue. The loss will be recovered, this time by one single vendor.
We have seen this before, however, an open source chip maker producing free chips is not so likely. That is why Intel must be kept in line.
No, the Grand Canyon reference is not right. There are at least two reasons to avoid death in life.
1. I have not reproduced yet. Afterall, that is one of the core principles of our existence. Living organisms that do not reproduce have died out many many years ago.
2. I cannot die because I have to take care of my family and other close ones.
When you have accomplished that in your life, you will be at peace and able to 'pass-on'.
I live my life, believe what I believe, pass on my beliefs when appropriate, and try my best to be good natured. And I fail miserably at times:). I try to do good overall in the world, and help other people out when they need it.
That is my life motto, if there would be a God (and I am certain that there is not), it would have to be very erratic to judge that my life was bad.

I do not think that MS is able to release Windows as Open Source. Most likely there is too much stuff in it that cannot be opened up (same issue as Sun had with Java).
If there was a day where Windows would be free, it would be free without source.
But honestly, I do not think that is going to happen. Free Windows comes with any new PC (consumer perception), so why throw a perfectly good revenue stream.
I am hopeful that criminal blame in serious situations will make corporations thing twice. As soon as keeping data on people will become a liability, companies start to reduce their 'people information' to a bare minimum.
What we will see is that corporations will think twice about what information they keep and how they keep it.
As soon as criminal blame comes in play, closing holes in the access to customer information will get a closer look by SOX auditors.
It happens way too often that companies gather information they do not really need.
I have no problem telling stores my zipcode for them to figure out where to build the next store (hopefully closer by my home), however, phone numbers, email addresses etc. are beyond me.
Also, the reason why personal customer information needs to be in a non-secured location (i.e. laptop) remains questionable, maybe this is the only remedy to get some sense into the corporate world.
I am hopeful that this will have a positive effect on mailing lists and other marketing related activities.
And when they found our shadows
Groups 'round the TV sets
They ran down every lead
They repeated every test
They checked out all the data in their lists
And then the alien anthropologists
Admitted they were still perplexed
But on eliminating every other reason
For our sad demise
They logged the only explanation left
This species has amused itself to death
No tears to cry
No feelings left
This species has amused itself to death
Amused itself to death
While it may be shaky grounds to sell these machines as Mac Clones. There should be no reason not to sell those machines with a Linux Equivalent. The nice thing is that you -could- buy a Leopard disk and load it, that is your own choice.
This is no different as my Intel PC that runs Ubuntu, but -could- run Vista if I wanted to.

We should all read between the lines. It is not about mandating an FM receiver in each phone, it is about adding broadcasting fees to each phone bill.

Yes, a billion years from now we will be gone and the planet is still doing donuts around the sun.

I think you will not be happy with paying income tax over that $1Bn revenue.
I have not been back to the Netherlands long enough to really understand that it is just as messed up as here in the US.
Must be the sign of the times, the news cycle needs juicy stories, the people take it at heart and stop thinking for themselves.
In addition to that, the three Dutch votes came from the 'Party voor de Vrijheid' (Freedom party).
Sometimes I ask myself why I vote.

You better be careful in what you say, indeed.
It would sound much more sinister and dangerous if they start reporting these sizes in feet and inches. :)

There is a *^&%$%^$#-ing Verizon Tech on the plane!
You forgot the complaints that FireFox is a memory hog when you have 389 tabs open.

This bat talk did put a light on... I get it now.
I need to get the top TLD of bat to run my website autoexec.bat or even better, get exe: delete.exe.
Check it out here: file://delete.exe
I see issues with this...

Correct, Yahoo owns a great deal of Google stock due to the patent dispute around online marketing.
Why Google is not taking care of this is kind of beyond me.
