surfraw may have been around for ages but I do believe Google should be entitled to use their own name. That game is technically Chromium B.S.U. Not that it matters since no one has probably heard of it until your post.
The fact is their business models suck that's why they're doing it. They're selling their hardware at a loss to a limited group who often have no qualms about pirating software while at the same time the only way they can improve their games is boost the graphics and therefore cost making harder to make money and more likely that people will pirate.
Nintendo on the other is making ass loads of money with profits on everything, hardware included, that they sell and they are reaching a wider market.
I don't think they want money. Their wages were increased more than once because it wasn't working. More money or not doesn't matter when you're working an ass load of hours and are simply burnt out. Rather than pay more money why couldn't Foxconn cuts hours?
Their wages are peanuts and that shows by the fact Foxconn was willing to nearly double them. Their wages may be decent now but again for ages and sleeping at your post isn't healthy and needs to be rectified. Foxconn will just move the factory elsewhere, pay the same wage and enslave some new people until they get upset.
They can't. Video game companies don't care about stories and as a result most stories in games are utter shit. How can you take something like that and convert it into something that relies heavily on a good story?
I don't care so much that they exposed Apple's new phone but the fact they so happily gave up the guy's name showing no journalistic integrity. Fuck 'em, ban them for years.
When they leave me alone then I'll leave them alone. I don't expect my non-MS browsers having their default search engine switched without my permission.
I think something in Windows or Mozilla (in the case of Firefox) is causing it. My work machine ended up, without my intervention set to Bing as the search engine. I put it back and added Bing to my hosts file. Mysteriously Bing got removed from my hosts file but at least my search selection (Google) didn't go back to Bing again. This then happened on my home machine and it has happened to everyone else at work whether they use IE or Firefox.
The thing is most people end up typing Google's URL in or seraching for Google through Bing. So despite the fact they are too stupid to put it back they're still using Google.
I think everyone who has been told they won, without cheating, definitely does deserve to win a lawsuit against them. Casinos are heavily rigged against your favour to begin with and they make shit loads of money off of people. If they're going to have broken equipment on the floor they should lose out. Otherwise why bother maintaining any of it. Just let people use it and when it's broken claim it's broken and don't pay out.
Odds are they were too tight to keep the machine in top form or bought something that was broken. Either way the odds of this happening are exceptionally low. Just pay out and don't put the machine back on the floor if they're worried about a defect.
I'd agree. It sounds like a case of someone not wanting to (or can't) pay out. As long as the user did not intentionally cause an error to cheat they should get the pay out. I don't like the idea over suing over anything but I'd sure as hell take them to court over this.
Clearly the android market is the worst market for rootkit developers. They should go for the iPhone where you can ensure everyone isn't very bright and has the same hardware.
I had a few minor quirks with the audio and it's completely unplayable in Firefox. Either it won't take off at all or it's going to annoying a hell of a lot of people if this starts popping up on the net.
I thought they presented a good case with decent picture evidence but the whole distorted voice thing and excessive swearing put me off so I've investigated it further and found videos like this showing it doing nothing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U60W_g_t9vc and even uk emergency documents that support the original original video's notion that you just don't lay a single boom like we're seeing from BP.
So really, are they out best hope for cleaning this up? I'm starting to think that is not the case. What would help is if the media would actually investigate this but they're not. No one is really taking it any further than saying BP is promising to pay for everything. That doesn't really matter if they're doing a half assed cost cutting job.
True but I still don't think people will care that much over a short period of time. It's not like this is the first oil still in the gulf. Granted it is the worst but I just don't see people wanting to stop drilling in the gulf for oil and it's bound to happen again.
If there is any truth to the fact that BP's clean up effort, at the moment, is complete shit and lacks any signs of expertise and the worst they're facing is to clean up after themselves, I can't really see it getting any worse for them unfortunately.
I'm sure they're happy to have a bit more money but if you're working serious overtime I'd think they'd rather work fewer hours rather than some pittance of a pay rise.

I'd rather take 5-10 (even 20) times longer than use Silverlight and happily know it will work pretty much every browser and device.
I'd rather someone use Javascript than infect yet another site with Silverlight.
The turtle-neck brigade get their panties in a twist.
That would be a nice thing to do for the 2 people in MS marketing that own the phone.

Postal was perhaps the only decent video game based movie. Give him some credit for that even if he did help made a lot of shit gaming movies.

Y2K cause a glitch in time and 2001 actually happened after 1994.

I liked the Seinfeld ads tbh. Not that they were really going to change my mind I didn't mind watching them.

The internet just enhances what is already there. Stupid people become more stupid and intelligent people become more intelligent.
Poor Rupert needs a socialist hand-out so he can afford to still rally against socialism in America and and his customers will probably lap it up.

The thought of that cunt Murdoch getting money from me when I used none of his services and despise his existence would be far too much.
You need to meet more people outside of the US by the sounds of it.
I had a few minor quirks with the audio and it's completely unplayable in Firefox. Either it won't take off at all or it's going to annoying a hell of a lot of people if this starts popping up on the net.
You know I initally thought that too but then I found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMuoSlJwkUY
