How can Postini/Google possibly know what strategies spammers intend to pursue? Google's investigators are dating hot chicks who believe in astrology, obviously.
An X-box 360 bought last year will run the games designed for it three years from now.
A PC graphics card bought at the same time for the same price will barely run Crysis now. Crysis was not designed for a three year old PC. A game designed for a PS3 won't run in a PS2.
Your point is you'd like companies to make games for old hardware?
What did everyone had at home? Televisions. What do you need to use a console? Televisions.
When everybody has a computer at home, wouldn't it be natural for consoles to connect to the computer and use it's display? Wouldn't it also follow that, having connected to the computer you could also use it's peripherals?
At the same time, aren't graphic cards concentrating more and more of the power needed to run a modern game?
So, on one side we'll have consoles that lack display (as now) but also controls and sound, and graphic cards concentrating almost all the power to run a cutting edge game.
Thinking someone is stupid because they believe something patently false is stupid. You wouldn't think someone who believes he's an extraterrestrial entity come to earth to create a race of half-humans and start the colonization of the cave world that exists ten meters under our cities and is inhabited by vampires, must be somewhat stupid?
I'm all for including every little piece of info as long as it's possible to organize, and right now it seems to stay quite stable having all kinds of "minimalistic" pieces of data.
However, what called my attention upon entering the commentaries is that most people here were "inclusionists". Is it the aversion to censorship? The interest in unpopular areas of human knowledge?
I think a poll about this in Slashdot would be interesting.
I hope there's people who still reads yesterday news. The question is:
How much behind the highest chip technology is the best product a geek can do at home by connecting standard components?
i.e.: Is there a large amount of people capable of "building" a 486 processor with neutral components? If they finally find a way of making physical DRM work, how much slower would be the the "Open Electronics" alternative?
Any entity that has the capacity to use inductive reasoning also has the capacity to make incorrect inductions. Are you implying that every one of those entities capable of making incorrect inductions, will?
I'd like to see proof of that.
Can't there be an entity using induction to choose an optimal path to check for validity deductively?
I think you mean 6 by 9. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with my universe, thank you very much. Same thing, it's just base 13.
Your universe is base 13?
You must have one extra finger in each hand and... Ok, let's stop right there.
I don't think they should be made responsible of analyzing the full ramifications of what they see as a chance to apply the law. Let them ask and politely deny the obviously idiotic proposition.
That accurately describes about 90% of theoretical physics doesn't it? Yes, the other 10% actually test empirically all their theories. They just keep the TP name because chicks dig it.
I wonder what my brain looks like when I'm reading Slashdot? Be grateful this isn't soviet Russia, or Slashdot would be wondering what your brain looks like.
To take the canoe example, do you think the Polynesians powered their canoes by facing backward and throwing shit overboard?
Of course not. To throw shit backwards they had to face forwards.
There's a popular image depicting the correct "polynesian forward facing overboard shit throwing" technique. You can usually find a link to the image in at least one of the first two or three posts in every news thread.
The controller, which Hollis said will cost "much less" than $50,000... Great. For a second there I thought I'd have to sell my house to buy the new toy.
I don't buy modern music, but just because I don't hear it. However, I do hope that musicians finally manage to remove the middle man and start distributing their own music and receiving the full payment.
The main reason of this hope is not for my love for musicians but for the effect this can have in every other business based in mass distribution of copies of a data item.
Photography, novels, software, all may find ways of receiving direct payment from the consumer.
Even more embarrassing would be to fail so miserably that the probe landed on the sea and they spent a year reporting having found water and living organisms on the moon.
NASA Plans to Smash Spacecraft into the Moon Following NASA's new trend of sincerity, Burger King releases a new set of products under the name "Die fat bastard! Die" and NIKE presents the new AirSlave collection.

That's precisely my point and how I see the future of PCs vs Consoles.
So when the aliens come...
"We come in peace. We offer you peace, technology, knowledge..."
"Yeah, why don't you shut up already. What's wrong with my Adblock?"

What differentiates those two pieces of hardware?
And if so, why?

Or is it wrong that the police even asks.

It's just a numerical simulation, but everybody knows it counts anyway.
#4035's brainscan results.
A scary new meaning for "being slashdotted".

Now I have hopes of only having to sell my car.

He'd also need a place to stand.
Anyway, he'd never know whether he was moving the universe, or just himself.
Water powered boat? It's a surfboard!
Ok, a multi-directional surfboard.
Even more embarrassing would be to fail so miserably that the probe landed on the sea and they spent a year reporting having found water and living organisms on the moon.
I'd so like to have binoculars that allowed me to see the moon as well as a microscope a hundredth of an inch away from the spot...
