Have any more information on this? I can do the general google search, but not sure which sources to really trust as some of them so far seem a bit cloak and dagger.
Say for the 23 minute episode, they insert 4x 30 second ads, bringing the show to 25 minutes total.
they can now auction off a 30 second spot for a show THEY KNOW is being purchased by 25 million viewers.
Instead of charging a company 400K for that 30 second spot, they could do a few unique things with it: - Split up the stream into demographic niches, allowing one company to purchase the 30-50yr old single male viewers, and maybe advertise eHarmony, etc. - Charge on a per view basis to the ad companies. @ 400K, the one company was only paying $0.016 per view. They could increase that to $0.10 per view, while offering the tighter niches, and even if they only sold 5 million of those views, they already beat the 400K they made from the bulk sale.
Keep in mind Sprint has a "new" CEO. I could see Hesse leading Sprint through a smooth merger.
The Sprint / Nextel merger was around 2004 / 2005, and Hesse took lead in 2007. Hesse was also with AT&T for a long ass time (25 years I think), and started out as a intern. I think Hesse brings a LOT of insight (what AT&T did right / wrong) from his time at AT&T.
How many big company CEOs actually put themselves in the commercials? Shows me he is personally invested in the success of Sprint.
Is it really possible to hide your online activity, keeping in mind that the enemy has the most advanced tools and computers to filter the traffic, and pinpoint your exact physical location?
To expand slightly on the above question, I think the "enemy" in this case needs to be properly defined. Is it a Corporation or the Government? If Government, which Government? (IE I don't think China would give the NSA / CIA access to their backbone routers to start monitoring traffic).
With that change, How do you suggest we as citizens of the net go about to protect ourselves properly? How can a whistle-blower be safe in today's connected world?
What are your opinions on the actions of groups like Lulzsec & Anon? Do you feel that they will, in the end, expand freedom on the net or just help government tighten the noose on internet restrictions?
True, Quake / PainKiller was all about the quick reflexes and splash damage.
CS is all about the 5 v 5, money & map strategy. A team with superior tactics and good cash prediction can usually take out a team that has sub par strategy but some amazing quick scopin AWPers.
Damnit, looks like I'll be installing Steam when I get home:)
If you are going to get something to use a K+M on your 360, make sure you get the XIM. This is from first hand experience playing on both. If you don't believe it, go check out the XIM forums & all the user submitted videos (Halo, COD, GOW, etc).
Ditto. I have a work HP Elitebook, and that thing gets tossed around like a hooker in vegas...
Thing still runs like a champ after close to a year. I had a HDD die on me once, but it was a dud from the factory as it died the day I installed TrueCrypt on it.
Nothing is stopping you from typing "http://www.bing.com" in _Firefox_ if you don't like the results Google gives you.
Maybe we should complain about Walmart, and how they don't carry brand XYZ, because its MY GOD GIVEN RIGHT to see EVERY brand there is when I go through the store searching for "TOYS"
Better yet, lets sue them because my FAVORITE TOY isn't right there on the shelf at eye-level.
Any suggestions on other "required" software if I give Debian a try for my workstation laptop? (Using Ubuntu 11.04 right now, and Unity can be quite annoying)
Note: I am just getting into Linux, but pretty much have been sticking with Debian for any servers I have been playing with.
Thats why you enable tabs on the side in Chrome...
Problem solved.

Easy.
Take 500 / 1,000 / 2,000 dollars in cash.
place said money on a credit card that is backed by cash (every company has one of these).
use that card for 3 months to a year, and pay it off every freaking month!
Watch your credit score skyrocket to the high 700s from nothing.
You will probably be able to call them after that, get your cash back, upgrade to a better card (reward card or miles card), AND get a higher limit if you want it.
How do you know that price wasn't the sum of all their paper needs? (card stock / projector screens / ink / toner / service contract / etc)
I bet there are companies that will give you a almost-free enterprise copier/printer with the contract stating that you must purchase all products through them.
I am NOT disagreeing with you in that it is wasteful, just saying that if the source is already hiding information regarding the PC "price", they are probably doing the same for the paper "costs"
You can "delete" a post you put on there pretty easily.
I'm not saying it would stop anything major, but if you accidentally post those honeymoon pictures to your co-workers circle, you can easily delete the post and re-post to the correct group (MidEast Swingers circle).
I hadn't logged into Facebook for something like 6 months, and the changes that happen to sites when they see you as a logged on Facebook user is astounding... and annoying!

Toss in ads to that model, a la HuluPlus.

That is an awesome graphic :)

DO NOT buy the XFPS.
XIM3 >> XFPS on all accounts.
Hell the XIM2 was better than the XFPS.

It is called the XIM3
Get it, set it, then DESTROY.

Google should just buy SPRINT.
SPRINT + GOOGLE + MMI sounds like a recipe for complete win to me!
Someone has been watching too much Leverage :)
It must be me, but why is 420 always used everywhere?
Is there some back office writers betting going on to see who can cram the most 420 references into a single episode / movie / season?

Don't forget another manager to crack the whip when those two monkeys aren't doing their job!
Was that released under Hackers II as well? Or is that just a different directors interpretation of the story?

A separate browser isn't a bad idea.
Nor does logging into your online bank account with a normal username / password. This looks to just be a wrapper for a more secure, trusted identity.
We must be terrorists now!
