Anyone who played an online multiplayer shooter will attest that the experience is very close to real life war. The fresh young recruit steps onto the battlefield, expecting a grand battle the likes of the opening of Saving Private Ryan, only to end up in the scope of a spawn point camping sniper who is only farming headshots on the newbies...
Would the classic newspaper model really work on a subscription digital newspaper, considering that half the newspaper's pages (sometimes more) is wall to wall ads? And that's not even counting the classifieds, ads paid for by the subscribers themselves!
There will be no Duke Nukem Forever - 3D Realms has abandonned the project a long time ago, but keeps releasing teasers as a form of viral marketing to keep themselves in the mainstream media awareness long enough not to go bankrupt until Max Payne 3 is released.
If the suit used to capture motion is not the standard black suit covered in little ping pong balls anymore, it's gonna make DVD "making of" extra features a lot less entertaining to watch.
"It's available to as many people who see fit to use it, although we wouldn't recommend it to just your average user,"
Oh, I see what you did there. By implying it's not for everyone, you're hoping to get everyone to try it so that they feel a cut above the average user. It's a far slicker move than most of Microsoft's last decade of marketing who carpet bombed the PC market to get every single person alive on windows.
How about that total absence of respect back in the days where programmers were seen as interchangeable faceless drones (aka Code Monkeys) in a "fad industry" that everyone just assumed would go away with the hula-hoop and the Rubik Cube?
You create multiple amazon accounts and register several "complaints" from "offended users", and magically the book will vanish from the site as if it had never existed. All the extremism of traditional book burnings without the inconvenience of gasoline fumes!
Any day now, expect your humdrum day at work to be interrupted by a crew of stockbroker corsairs and account privateers assaulting your office tower from the broadside of the Crimson Permanent Assurance.
If you build it, subscribers will come. If you build it and try to be like wow, you'll be merging servers in under a month.
Truth. Whenever I hear the latest up-and-comers claim how much better they're going to be and how the hype claims it will kill WoW, I smirk and expect that game to hit the liquidation discount bin within the next six months. History has yet to prove me wrong.
If this trial went public, then the RIAA might actually be faced with an actual fair fight that they just can't pull out of with their usual "Just Kidding!" legal tactic of dropping every suit that doesn't turn into a landslide favoring them. Real justice? We don't want THAT now, do we?
How about we stop runnaway spending and reduce the national debt. All five of the last presidents have had this idea that we can just spend to our hearts content. We are dangerously close to the point that the rest of the world will say enough is enough and stop buying our debt. When this happens, we as Americans will be in a world of Sh!t.
Agreed. Let's start with the biggest tax drain of all: military budget.
on the sender side maybe, but it still lands on the inbox of every recipient, and all ISPs will be required to keep their own logs. I'm thinking here of the ISP IT guys having a discussion about their mail log server that will ressemble the Ghostbusters twinkie metaphor.
If they keep a database of ALL email sent, it'll be interesting to see how many days it takes until their backup servers are overrun with billions of nigerian prince scams, fake virus alerts and phony offers to get free cash from Microsoft.
After years of trying to kill John Connors, Skynet realized its failure to achieve victory through brute strength and went back in time with a new objective: to win all human gameshows and use the prize money to buy off the entire planet instead.
The true value of an expert is not the information he accesses, but the use he makes of it. They can often perform seeming feats of mental teleportation, jumping from observation A to conclusion B without going through the in-between steps of reasoning through years of honing their intuition, something no search engine can do (yet). Also, anyone who's ever tried to explain something technical to a non-technical person and been met with blank stares knows that it's not just about information - it's about understanding it.

Oh yeah, I'm reassured now.
I'm not sure which piece of the equation is making a glorified word processing program page fault on 1GB of RAM but I think that's a bit ridiculous.
I used to think the same about an anti-virus running on barebones windows, until I saw the Norton Suite running on Vista...

I'll get to work on coding a virus that will divert those pennies to my bank account. Write your own Office Space or Superman III joke here.

You Fool! You altered the outcome by observing it!

You must ban the wax cylinder musical format before it destroys the musical performance industry forever!!!

Am I the only one who read about these buttons and immediately imagined a full-screen braille reader for visually impaired users?
