about indigenous peoples of the world, but every time I read that, I kept thinking that "Orkut" referred to people from the planet Ork. Then I wondered what Mork from Ork thought of free speech.
Nanu nanu.
Maybe they should focus on making their software work on Firefox.
I mean, hell, it works on XBox360. Now what could Xbox360 possibly have in common with Internet Explorer?
Even Blizzard doesn't do this.
Of course, if Blizzard did this, it would be just me and like two other people on World of Warcraft. My god, the stuff that goes on in those forums.
"Of course, Odysseus was never sent on a quest to kill 12 Cyclopes to collect their eyes for a healing potion."
To compare it to WoW, it should read, "Odysseus was never sent on a quest to collect 12 Cyclops, of which only 6% of Cyclops ever had, and thus he would kill about 150 Cyclopes."
Software bloat continues to fester. It never ceases to amaze me how video games, although looking better, are now shorter and take up more resources than ever. And now we have to worry even more about our web browsers? Does anyone remember 10 years ago? Browsers were small, and that's the way we liked them! When will software companies get the hint: Bigger is not always better.
God, you guys couldn't just go over to China and play proudly for our country, could you? You just have to turn everything into a political statement and piss off the host country. I mean, you could have gone TWO FREAKING WEEKS without a political statement, right?
Like we're going to listen to Nigerian officials when it comes to money matters.
Hell, they can't even keep their Princes from losing access to their fortunes, requiring honest, hard-working Americans to help them out!
I think that George Lucas is falling victim to the Streisand Effect--- How much publicity would the shitty reviews have gotten if he hadn't worked to put them down?
Okay, probably alot, but now he looks like a douche AND a crappy filmmaker.
If you're interested in using 3d motion to control a 2d interface, perhaps you'd like one of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U-Force
yeah, I hate the idea too. One of the reasons I don't have a Wii is because I'm too lazy to actually make fishing motions to fish. Dammit, I wanna press buttons, I don't wanna work out while I'm rotting my brain!
Guys like that are loose cannons. I won't have people like that on my force! Except, I must admit, they get results. Otherwise, I'd have their badges so fast, it would make their heads spin!
Actually, it's not a robot at all, it's a guy in a metal suit and now that he's discovered water, he plans to propagate the species.
(I didn't say he had thought it through)
And for that matter, the bit about security officials searching mp3 players for illegal music? Let's not worry about the guys sneaking bombs into the terminal, let's worry about the guy with some Coldplay (ugh) mp3s!
Furthermore, how can an airport offical determine what mp3s are legal or not? I mean, they could be freely distributed (like Jonathan Coulton's work) or legally downloaded. Hell, Youtube regularly removes "copyrighted" videos at the request of people, despite no copyright being violated, despite fair use, and even despite the claimant not owning the copyright at all.
The *IAA will soon reach a point where everyone (not just us internet folk) knows that if they could form their own police force like the Gestapo, they would.
Not only that, but with every industry on the decline due to recession, the RIAA seeks to blame piracy for its downturn. Gee, guys, ever think that maybe poor people buy less albums? The way they talk, people have an obligation to support their industry. I swear, they're just as bad as the travel companies.

it only took two hundred years to go from "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country," to, "eat my asshole." :(

With Self Replicating Robots. Skynet's soldiers will need to be able to know their proximity to one another.
Wasn't Microsoft penalized not just for the linking of IE to Windows, but specifically because they had been told not to do so?
Yeah, we all know what happens when you connect military computers to the internet. Mostly because we all saw War Games.
Even Blizzard doesn't do this. Of course, if Blizzard did this, it would be just me and like two other people on World of Warcraft. My god, the stuff that goes on in those forums.
A DARPA story that doesn't mention Metal Gear Solid? Hold on, let me try: "What about cameras mounted to the ends of slow-moving rockets?"
Don't be hatin' on the letter I. Remember, there is no I in Enemy.
Bin Laden was already on the Most Wanted list long before 9/11, for the bombing of the USS Cole.

I didn't know Chris Benoit was in the spam business. I can't wait to see if FOX News links spamming with brain damage.

Someone's obviously taken a page out of Microsoft's handbook.

You guys think it's great until advertisers start making their crappy "You've won a free ipod" flash ads searchable.
Will you have to verify your age to buy schoolgirl panties? Somehow I think Japan needs to review its priorities.
