If nobody is reading your tweets, then they fail due to one or more of the following:
1) You aren't saying anything worth reading 2) You don't know how to use retweet (RT) to publish replies to people you are following so that people can read them if they search for that person's @profilename 3) You don't participate in any hashtag groups
I'm guessing #1 is the worst problem, since teenagers usually have nothing to say that someone else hasn't already said in a more clever or amusing way, and then #2 and #3 are probably tied.
Yes, this is awfully familiar. I mean, didn't we have this whole ridiculous crapfest with the RIAA and the "Explicit Lyrics" labels on CDs at music stores years ago? And it effectively did little other than to further glamorize those CDs for "rebellious" youth?
My coursework started with Java in 1998, moved to Assembly in sophmore year, then C/C++ in junior year, then did some Perl, J2EE, Lisp, and much more ANSI C on POSIX systems, and a bit of C++ at the end.
Every language has it's place, but discounting Java completely is stupid. It's a great way to introduce students to programming concepts. Although, you could equally switch it for Python for the 101 type course and then switch to Java or C# (a pretty good language in its own right), then go deeper with C, assembly, then back up to OO land with C++, side-track for some functional languages with Scheme and Haskell, then to SoA languages like J2EE and C#.
I'll sacrifice true openness for the sake of just getting real TiVo on any box that's compliant. What I'd like to see is third-party boxes at BestBuy or wherever, that compete in terms of features such as HD space, outputs, networking options, etc.
Even though we are able to kill "billions" as you put it (it's nowhere near that high at the moment, perhaps in the low millions, roughly 1/1000 what you suggest) the human population on Earth is still on the rise. The Earth's population, according to An Inconvenient Truth, in the year 2000 was over 6 billion people. In 1970 it was 3 billion. In 30 years the population more than doubled. In another 30 years, more medical and social advances will be made and despite wars being waged none are employing weapons of mass destruction. I expect the population to double again.
FYI they aren't making phones at all. HTC is a partner for making the handsets, and Google has a lot of influence with their design/engineering choices I'm sure. Google is making the OS and application SDK stacks for any of the handset partners (codenamed Android).
I'm wondering if Firefox's upcoming mobile browser effort has had a chance to be invited to the party, given Google distributing Firefox in their windows software GooglePack.
Historically, the lack of available gaming grade graphics hardware and decent gaming-oriented OpenGL drivers was a big problem on the Mac platform. However, these days OpenGL has lost so much ground in comparison to Direct3D, in terms of keeping pace with gaming graphics hardware, that nobody bothers to learn OpenGL unless you are in an academic or scientific setting (or stuck on Macs, I suppose).
No, actually you could use a dummy account to smear anyone's reputation by constantly re-editing their page back to whatever you want. By fighting over the content of a page, you effectively decrease the reputation of both parties. Since the dummy account isn't a real person, you are safe to throw it away after you are finished.
Wouldn't this invite more Cheney type behavior where a person representing a company like Microsoft for many years in patent litigation can become USPTO chief and then allow them to get patents on whatever they want?
Congrats on being magazine pirates. Let me know when you guys publish something so I can rip it off and give it to millions of people for free, ok? I mean, those people who paid for the exclusive details and work for a living at a magazine company don't need to get paid for their efforts, right? Right?
So you're some kind of gaming elitist? By the way, they make comparisons to Oblivion because 1) it sold a shitload, both on PC and 360, and 2) more people know Oblivion because of 1) so they will get the reference better than say Morrowind or some other game.

Beneath a Steel Sky was given away for free for a month on Good Old Games (gog.com). :)
Better hope he doesn't make you wobble?

That's a horrible thing to say, you bastard.
I don't want all the people to leave the companies and go form new ones that put out overhyped and underwhelming titles years late.
LISP takes about two days to learn, so BFD.

Adobe doesn't follow Windows HIG either; stop being OS-centric, plzkthx.
How does the Washington state have jurisdiction over actions of an international company in a foreign country?

How is this surprising or different from any other open source project? LOL
Seriously, software engineering is a 80-90% male industry still. Open source software probably even more so.
GimpShop is the answer.

It brings a more Photoshop-like interface to the Gimp.
I anticipate that this will be the reactionary measure to the $399 80GB PS3.

Last I checked 12 year olds aren't really interested in sex yet. Give him a few years, though.
It does work under the (somewhat) recent release of Cedega (6.0) though.
Dumbass, there are subtitles for the spoken lines. How else do you think deaf gamers are going to play?
Wouldn't a theoretical quantum computer be more helpful, since you can evaluate many bit combinations simultaneously?

It's definitely confused by Intel's P35 chipset only supporting ATI CrossFire. Huh???
You're missing out. The cut-scenes for Blizzard's single player games are fantastic.
