So you feel that criminals will start overlaying crime reports with other data, such as weather, traffic, sports events and paydays for large employers and analyze it three times a day... to commit petty crimes like purse snatching outside of payday loan establishments?
The The commercial record already did this in the 20s. Ordinary people slowly went from being performers of music to being consumers of music, ceding control of popular music to the recording industry and its mouth pieces, such as Elton John.
If anything, the internet is bringing us closer to the times when normal people made and shared music together. Just a few minutes on youtube will yield videos of lots of ordinary people playing renditions and variations of their favorites songs. I think this is hundreds of times less "cold and impersonal" than, say, attending an Elton John concert in an arena packed with tens of thousands of people.
This game is my favorite game of all time, when playing it I learned the geography of the Caribbean without even realizing it. Games can teach a lot transparently if the topic isn't overbearing and remains relevant to the game.
In a month Microsoft will be offering them a fantastic licensing deal and like other countries that "decided" to use open source, they'll likely change their course.
I'm sure on a technical level, this is a great idea, but how many days of the month does anyone use their umbrella? I doubt this will succeed commercially.
Someone makes this prediction every time the new generation of consoles come out. The truth is, as long as software piracy is fairly easy, PC gaming will always be in vogue.
Even if this did kill the PC gaming industry, we'll only see huge game houses like EA abandoning PCs in favor of greener pastures and independent gaming houses taking their place. This is a good thing for innovation (Remember Commander Keen?)
My site is a Bible site, which I think it's safe to assume represents a cross section of normal users to some extent. About 10% of our visits are coming in with Firefox, which is really encouraging.
I just bought it yesterday when Best Buy opened and I have to say, the game is BEAUTIFUL even at the low quality settings. As always, Id has delivered something incredible years before it's time. Thank you for another ground-breaking release John Carmack!
Also, has anyone heard if and when there will be level editing tools made available for the game?

Next we'll be seeing posts about monster trucks. Sad but sort of funny what qualifies as 'geeky' these days.
There are some "nerds," who don't actually care about SCO or Mars Rovers. You might want to take note of the fact that the second phrase isn't "Stuff that matters to airConditionedGypsy."
You don't like to TALK to your girlfriend? Why are you going out with her then? You're honestly going to tell her that you prefer videogames to talking to her? Are you insane??
If you think my reaction is a poor one, wait until you hear hers.
From the article: "This ad shows how everything has changed,' says Mitch Bainwol, RIAA chairman. 'Legal downloading is great because fans are supporting the future of creative work in America.'"

Passing this bill will allow congress to go on their vacation unabated.

When I lived in LA everyone clapped at the end of movies. It seemed extremely stupid to me.

How can a certificate authority be "Open source?"
Maybe what the submitter meant to say is free (as in beer)?
They did mention this fact and even speculated on whether or not Dell was behind it. Why not read the article?

If you click on the link in the top 10, you'll come here. What's up with "Find Joke Programs?" That seems a little too specific to be real.

I had thought that plot had already been succesfully hatched years ago. :)

Men suck. :)

The RIAA has joined in, and happily it seems.
