I don't boycott them. I just don't take the "rebait" into consideration when comparing prices.
Here's a funny story though. My ex-brother-in-law bought several Texas Instrument TI-99/4 computers back in the Eighties for $99 apiece when Sears was closing out some warehouse remnants. They came with a $100 rebate from the manufacturer. So he got paid a dollar for every computer he took.
No its because he doesn't exist. You see, I am going to tell my grandchildren about him so that they will seek out everyone named Carlssin in the year 2211 and do whatever it takes to make sure they don't breed. The article only exists because it must in order to make the time-space continuum consistent. Otherwise I wouldn't have known to tell my grandchildren and then Andrew Carlssin would exist and the article would again still exist. QED
How do I know my chronology is the correct one? Easy, because if your version of events was correct and he did exist and was someday released then he could easily go back in time and prevent ME from being b... <poof!>
I know its not needed here because this game will come out for Pc, but if there were a game exclusive to Xbox that someone wanted to play on his Pc is there any software out there that would allow that?

While I was there, I had several quite heated exchanges with different people from the tribunal - we disagreed about the relative importance of truth and justice. I argued that it was important that the world, and especially people in Kosovo, should know what really happened during the war and try the people accused of having committed or ordered violations of human rights. But truth should be first. The tribunal's field people saw things differently so I did my work independently.
I wonder what they were asking him to do for him to have to say that Truth comes before Justice.
Giving away binary drivers makes sense - you're quite likely to influence a linux user's video card purchase with decent drivers. Making people download it from their website, or install it differently from any other package is just a pain in the ass and doesn't gain them anything.
I had already made up my mind to buy ATI next time around but if this.run file makes things easy enough then I will stick with Nvidia. Every time RH updates the kernel I have to fiddle around to recompile nvidia and cisco vpn kernel modules.
Source? You cannot make claims like that without providing some evidence to back them up.
I didn't make the claim. I saw it made on TV and it had something to do with observations of siblings hitting each other less when they could take their agression out on each other in console games. I don't know if controlled studies have been done. Probably not because people like you have already made up their minds without objectively testing their hypotheses. This subject has been discussed many times here on Slashdot with arguments and links to information both for and against. Search for it. Have fun.
Thanks for the link. No I don't remember it and I watch the news pretty regularly. But I am not from California where it must have gotten more coverage. However this story should have been Huge considering the public's current fears about terrorist cells.
I don't see anything wrong with what he is pushing for. He is just representing his constituents and it doesn't seem to be at the expense of any other Americans. The article I cited was just to give some background for those of us not from Southern California.
I do find it particularly interesting though that of the people I asked whether they had heard of this jewish terrorist organization or this incident, no one had. Three months after 9/11 I was glued to the set but I must have sneezed when this was aired. Yet I was subjected to a week of tired non-news about four muslims who were stopped on I-75 and had their car searched. Why would the networks bury this real news?
Here we go again. I hear this argument at least once a week. People are trained to treat dictionaries as the ultimate authority on language. I call this the Dictionary Fallacy. Dictionaries are not issued by the Language Gods. They're just somebody's attempt to describe the way words are used. Referring to a dictionary to the exclusion of what people actually say is absurd. That's especially true for slang!
That is true for slang... only because it is slang. But to extend your reasoning to the entire English language is ridiculous, which is a good word to make a point with. I have seen 'ridiculous' mispelled over and over right here on Slashdot. If we should not refer to a dictionary for an authoritative opinion as you suggest then it would be correctly spelled any number of ways including 'redicoulas'. If we should not refer to a dictionary for an authoritative opinion as you suggest then historical documents such as the Constitution would become meaningless because of an everpresent drift in usage of words which is only held in check by dictionaries. If we should not refer to a dictionary for an authoritative opinion as you suggest then why would a textbook be any more authoritative so just let children speak and spell however they feel like. Their mothers will always be able to understand them right? The only situation where I would agree with you is when someone whips out some cheezola little dictionary that wasn't researched thoroughly. Even the reputable publishers often have lesser editions which are condensed into 'Desktop' or 'Collegiate' versions and they should certainly not be considered the final word, so to speak.:-) But rejecting reputable dictionaries where each word is researched by English PHD's in favor of street talk is throwing the baby out with the bath water.
I agree too. Not only are lasers more reliable and faster but they are MUCH cheaper and print on any kind of paper. My laser cartridge has a lifetime of 10k pages. It is still the original that has been in there for 6 years. The DJ500 I had before would print about 100 pages before the nozzles started clogging and putting streaks in the output. Inkjets printers are nothing but a way to sell ink cartidges. It's like giving a free crack pipe away with the first rock they buy.
News to me. I've been in the industry for longer than I care to think about, and everyone I've known has used "headhunter" just to mean "recruiter". I've even heard it used that way in other industries.
I don't have a slang dictionary from 20 years ago to look it up in but that was how it was explained to me. Since you have been 'in the industry' for a long time could you tell me the origin of the term? And is there another term currently in use to describe an recruiter who contacts executives and professionals unsolicited? Thanks.
I mentioned NAFTA as an example of the kind of reasoning they will give when they start lobbying for the extension. The countries they gave as examples this last time were in Europe. And I bet that Canada will be Life+70 before too long anyway.
This job was submitted by Excell Data, which describes itself as providing "information technology consulting and systems integration services providing a broad portfolio of service offerings to Global 1000, high velocity middle market and dot-com startups." In other words, they're headhunters. The person who wrote this listing probably knows jack about what the job actually involves, and is just trying to get in as many resumes as possible. So they wrote the sexiest blub they could think of.
True. Or there may not even be a job that this describes. It is common practice among recruiters to post ficticious jobs just to harvest resumes.
And headhunter isn't the right word here. Headhunter generally means someone who recruits executives who are currently employed at a competitor or at least in a similar position and who isn't even looking for another job.

You consider Access and Paradox as more advanced?

I fail to see how the design of a massive Pac-Man board is, in any way, related to the *art* of designing good software.
It answered the question. The answer was 'No'.

Do you remember Scott McNealy's Java Ring?
I wonder what they were asking him to do for him to have to say that Truth comes before Justice.
Technically you are corretc but then the significance of the title would be lost on most of the population.
Great, I'll tell Hamlet. :-)
I like it. Now I can write a satirical political novel about civil liberties lost through digital surveilance and call it '19A4'.
