What possible reasons could they have for intentionally ignoring a huge market segment like that? If they can release on the PC/PS3/XBOX360 all at once, then the issue clearly is not one of code portability, nor is it one of latent capabilities of the hardware (SSBB looks mighty impressive on the wii, so no excuses there). So that leaves what, exactly? An inherent disdain for the platform itself, which is suicidal for a game company to ignore the #1 platform in the market. While this is possible, its not that likely. Companies don't usually make business decisions on personal feelings like that.
That leaves me with only one more thought. They made the interface so cumbersome, that they were not able to make something playable with the reduce button count on the wii.
How much is MSFT and SONY paying them to ignore a large portion of market potential? *NOT* releasing on a particular platform is *NOT* making a wise business decision. Unless, of course, they have other, undisclosed, financial reasons to *NOT* do so. As for the technical reasons, I call BS.
I thought Longhorn was supposed to be a "transition" OS... a kind of stepping stone between the windows 5 kernel and the "next generation" kernel. Did uh.. Did M$FT forget they were supposed to do something? All I have seen of Windows 7 (not to be confused with kernel 7) is Vista SP2 with Plus!
ya, now you're just mumbling incoherent gibberish. So sad. Either accept that your perceived definition was wrong, or stop talking about how you don't like what it doesn't mean.
The phrase is not meaningless, there is no reason to stop using it.
I already canceled my cable tv service, and life is just so much better without it. (no, I did not switch to FiOS TV or to satellite either) TV sucks more than an MMO.
No, zero day exploit refers to the fact that the exploit is publicly disclosed (and in use) before there is a patch to fix it. So yes, tomorrow, this will STILL be a zero day exploit.
None of those are features that I am even remotely interested in. Maybe that is why Opera failed to achieve critical momentum? It was chasing features noone wanted?
So extensibility is your main/only reason for choosing a browser?
No, and I didn't say it was either.
What about speed, ease of use, % of pages rendered OK, safety?
I have Safari and Firefox to choose from. Between those two, its either close enough to call it a tie, or firefox wins.
Opera is a complete non-starter. It has *nothing* to offer over either the pre-installed safari, or the "go get it in 4 seconds" firefox. At least firefox offers me extensibility.
I have a mac. Safari is a decent browser, but it fails epicly compared to FF as it does not have extensibility as a primary function. It's the plugins that make firefox awesome. IE and Safari just dont even compare. (Opera? not even in the same league as IE, let alone safari)
When I first read her whiny slice of webdrama, I was tempted to call her out on being a primadonna in search of attention. Then I googled her name (as she said her search results were ruined) looking for this ruination, and all I found was links to her hotness. So ya... she's uh.. STILL a prima donna in search of attention, but um... hot too.
Once you break the news, you are no longer an asset to the company. You are now nothing but a liability. They took the appropriate action when faced with any liability. They minimized its destructive potential.
And now you know, this is EXACTLY what you should have expected, and EXACTLY what they should have done. Now you can take this lesson to your next venture.
If they are renting their legally purchased physical copy, then yes, they are exercising their first sale rights, and you can GFY for thinking you have the right to stop them.
If they are duplicating your material, then you have every right to sue them for infringement.
Wow software is free, and always has been. YES, you pay for the pretty book and the pretty package, but you can always just borrow your friends for the install instead. Where you pay is for the account on their servers. (oh, and in a totally shitty deal, you also had to pay to "activate" the expac features. that was fucked up and was one of the reasons I left wow)
You have GOT to be kidding me. You actually think that is a security threat? You want another Jackass statement? You're a complete tool, desperate to try and find some way to make your platform of choice seem less inferior to one that is actually secure.
Salary + Royalties is a damn JOKE. This should not be happening in ANY industry. I do, however, agree that "royalty" should be an option for payment for services rendered, but it should never come with a salary as well. If anything, that option should come with an *investment* requirement.
ie; if an actor wants to collect royalties for a venture, then they should have to pay to be in it. They should not be getting paid cake and then getting to eat it forever too.
The most secure way to transmit data is via parcel. Spend a couple bucks, buy a thumbdrive big enough to hold the data. Then encrypt the data with truecrypt or PGP or GPG or whatever. Email the key to the recipient, and then overnite the encrypted database. Surely, your clients privacy is with the 30$ investment to your company?

what? you can't blame an organization for the actions of its staff? wtf?

Not only is it not a cycle, its not even wearable.

I call BS on the moderation. Parent was NOT offtopic in the least bit.

I thought AC was 666?
The 297th lap is where you'll be changing your mind on that one.
Everytime I see your sig it reminds me that I;ve never seen you use the ~ itself. Not even when you are being sarcastic. How interesting!~
