HPs problems aren't due to high level leadership issues, the platforms it's promoting or how it's getting to the market. The problem with HP is that they produce utter crap, and have support that makes me want to scratch my eyes out. That is, once you dig through a few pages and manage to finally figure out how to contact their support. In my most recent interaction they were absolutely useless in helping me and got my name wrong.
I'm typing this on an HP computer that is absolutely LOADED with bloatware. I cant figure out how to get rid of this junk that keeps popping up, requesting to update, requesting to this that and the other. Next to it is an HP printer that literally came out of the box and has refused to admit that I put ink cartridges in it. I've tried everything to get this printer working and HP support has been absolutely useless so far.
Let HP suffer a horrible death, and let the free market learn that producing shoddy products and/or pushing computers out with proprietary crapware is bad business.
I partially agree with this. Some auto parts should be standardized, but going to far will kill competition which in effect might kill research that could lead to cleaner/more efficient engines.
I seriously had a bag full of chargers here. Probably 15 chargers, only two of them were the same. Did any of them fit my friends phone when she lost her charger? Nope.
I gave up on Windows. I recently got a Mac so I could try my hand at developing for the iPhone and I love this thing. It's just right. I left Vista for XP after a slew of problems, but comparing either to OSX is like rotting fish to cologne. Sure, both are smelly, but....
The idea is that the text on a letter doesn't disappear if you put in the drawer, envelope or whatever without telling it to not disappear. That is why it's unintuitive.
There was a study done that showed that 90% of inmates may have ADD/ADHD. A couple studies have turned up different data, but they seem to remain consistent in the fact that a large number of inmates have ADD.
As far as I'm aware Pastafarians have a fairly peaceful religious history, unlike many others. I really don't see any of them being encouraged or inclined to blowing up a plane.
School districts commonly employ filters to block porn, video games, and pretty much any content they don't feel should be viewed during school. That is what I consider a legitimate use, as the idea behind it is good. Unfortunately, they also commonly block large numbers of legitimate web pages.
I was referring to the Gov't content filters in China.
"Some of the spectrum would be used for free Internet service, which would have content filters to block material considered inappropriate for children"
If kids want to find the content, they will find it with or without filters. I find that these filters are more often abused for control rather than used appropriately. Even when used in the intended manner, they are usually more annoying than helpful.
Anyone stop to think that maybe they cant actually fit everything on a single disc? It sounds entirely possible to me that they were facing shipping multiple discs in a single game box at the development cost of multiple games, so they just went ahead and made them into separate games. Developing a game isn't free.
Who knows, maybe this will allow them to put in more/better content and give each campaign more individual attention.

If I'm reading correctly, the patent mentioned was filed in '96 and issued in '98. Warcraft 2 came out in '95. Good game?

I wish I had mod points.

You missed the point entirely.

I never heard of lively till just now! It looks like it was pretty cool =[.

That actually demonstrates bias really well, in both cases.
Hey, pay as you go works extremely well for drug dealers.
I wouldn't accept any that was handwritten, half that crap is ineligible.

Oh! Wow, I feel stupid. That just clicked.

There is quite a bit of money to be made off a free public service through advertising. That's why you sell it.
It's not a size issue, it's a development time issue.
It might also be a development cost issue. Time is money.
