So would this fix that whole problem of "Uniting" with a monkey? I've heard that ridiculous claim thrown around, and redefining the whole thing as a contract would also keep non-humans from signing such a contract. How would commonwealth marriages work then?
I could see them rating how many restrictions or methods to communicate. For example the game may or may not have voice chat, text chat, language filter, leaderboards... Just compare the interactivity between characters in Halo 3 and Super Smash Bros Brawl.
Of course when you look at the comparison I know which online mode I'd rather have.
Except for Helicopters and Striders. They never give you an alternative way for killing those except for the rocket launcher. So every battle with one is you trying to get to the rocket ammo while getting shot at. I'm glad to see it removed in episode 2, but it irritated me that you could never happily use the RPG (which was incredibly powerful) in any situation due to the value its ammo had if they threw a Strider/Gunship.
Otherwise I agree. Aside from some irritating platforming bits, HL2 did a good job of allowing a mixture of weapons.
you need to access the PlayStation Store to buy games. This kills price competition and used game sales in one fell swoop, Ahhh sweet, sweet capitalism. Manufacturers go to great lengths to eliminate competition. This is a big win for Sony, consumers won't care.
But how will the kiddies get the games? Parents have less oversight now over what games will be put into the child's device. This is very Anti-Parent IMO. Come Christmas what games are the parents going to get for little Jimmy? None because they will be baffled by the fact that their only option is to buy a gift card. Following parents there is a significant market of much more informed consumers, who realize the loss of resale is not a good idea.
Plus the Sony E-Reader tops the Kindle in PDF rendering. So overall we now have 3 Good Sony Products: PSX-3, All PSP's before the Go, and all the newer Sony E-Readers. Yeah..?
Exactly. This is a perfect way of keeping backwards compatibility, while at the same time pushing onward to 64bit. +1 to Microsoft. +2 if they don't bend over for Intel with the Win 7 Ready program.
I think he means it as more of: Developer has Problem, Developer creates software to fix problem, Developer releases software as GPL, Developer wonders why no one else uses their software.
Sure the software fits your needs, but if you don't think of other people when you write it, then other people won't use it. If your just coding for your own benefit, fine. If you want your custom program to be used by anyone else, then you have to make it usable.
Mario Kart is a decent party game, but it requires you to race so much in single player that you honestly can't play a pickup game against your friends. The guy who unlocked everything is going to dominate.
Don't you mean whoever gets the items? Seriously that game was won or loss by the broken items.
"TI to receive the "in-class only" calculators for free or at cost"
I think you fail to understand how deeply entrenched the TI monopoly is. Sure most people equate computer experience to Windows knowledge but trying to find a graphing calculator that is non-TI in any High School is truly a mind boggling struggle. I have never seen a HP RPN calculator in real life.
How much does it even cost TI for that Hardware their selling? I'm sure a Game Boy Advance is packing more power than that of the TI-84.
What about the power of Presidential Pardon? If Ford can get Nixon off of a trial couldn't Bush? If the former President tells you to commit a crime, he could just pardon you and the crime goes away.
I disagree. Just look at how outraged some people got with the Kanye thing at the VMA? Those people would scream bloody murder if Apple stopped including their favorite artist.
OK bloody murder is extreme, but they would find a way to get the song and that's lost money for iTunes.
And Montezuma has Mao Zedong and Mansa Musa as Vassals and is currently at war with Louis the XIV and his stupid American vassals? So what, it just proves that History doesn't have to happen as all those stuffy professors put it!
Now why won't that city die! I've dropped over 6 Nukes on Athens and it still stands!
"Anyway isn't attributing deficits to the President disengenous given the fact that it's the congress that manages the money..."
As if anyone in Congress gets blamed for anything. My congressmen brings home the bacon! Sure he's been in office over 20 years, and gets over 60% of the popular vote thanks to all those wonderful corporate sponsored commercials; but I know he's still looking out for my best interests.
Having a wider vocabulary is not comparable to having only a hammer. Do we really need both dismay and anguish? It's like saying you need a regular wrench if you already have an appropriate sized socket wrench.
Too bad that the whole netbook thing is caput at this point. The whole "it only runs the net", "boots fast", "small and cheap" are for the most part gone.
Wasn't the whole point to stick a SSD onto a device with strong battery, 9" screen, and low price that didn't really need any more power than that to watch low quality youtube videos and gmail?
What is it with all of these "Privacy Concerns" with Facebook? It's a Social Network! When you use it you are voluntarily opening your life to the world. A privacy expert saying that Facebook has gaps in its privacy policy is like a safety expert saying that theres gaps in the safety policy of a Dirt Bike company...

I think they get grouped because they both use outrageous settings to really stress the human condition.

Wow, +5 Insightful. I really do fear for this nation I live in.
"If it's VOIP or P2P or constant video streaming"
Personally I would rather them downgrade the P2P priority so that my Skype call doesn't break up. Traffic shaping in moderation is a good thing.

iPhone: v, to make a system so locked down as to call upon the wrath of federal regulators
n, a phone produced by Apple Inc.

It was built with Slave labor. We'll just call it "volunteers" in this case.

They forget that it all comes down to what the computer came with, default search engines in this case.
Fixed.

How do you tell a pirate from a regular person?
They float!
You know what else floats?
A witch?
Other than a witch.
A duck!
Very good thusly if this man weighs as much as a duck he must be a pirate!

Good thing the west doesn't include any of France
