It just seems like people focus on the nerd doing the job instead of the damn cool results a lot of nerds produce, though maybe its just my perception...
And us little tiny humans will never travel all the way around the globe (or past it) right? Scale just means we need to expand our knowledge of how to do things...
My college ensured that their engineers got practice in producing real world products even before the senior project and sent everyone to a full year of internship before graduating. This is why the two places I work love getting graduates from there.
The CS department on the other hand... its getting better...
My biggest problems with ads these days (beyond automatic popups, stupid corporate mandated IE6) is less about their visibility and more about just trying to click somewhere on a page when I've been working somewhere else and always having to close the add that pops up. With as slow as the internet gets at times here I don't always even see the add that I just clicked.
Make it so they will only popup when you double click and you can put adds where ever you want (so long as they don't block out what I am actually reading on the page).
Just my $0.02
So you want the paying customers to pay more?

Seems to be saying that now the paying customer will buy half a game for full price then pay to complete the game whereas the pirate will only pay for the complete game.
Now if they were to make the paying customer pay half first and then the other half for the DLC it would cost the paying customer no more but then again someone will figure out a way to pirate the DLC so why are we discussing this again?
Like you hear sometimes from NASCAR, I worked on the race car of a guy who uses Papyrus Nascar Racing 2003 to practice running at Berlin Raceway. He says the ARCA (or was it ASA?) mod cars have a very similar feel to driving a Sportsman at the track.
Wouldn't want to jump straigt into a racecar after driving games in arcade mode though...
I think the difference may be that a bandwidth hog of a single connection is a user that can use near 100% of the bandwidth.
With ISPs on the other hand, the average use by a single user is probably only around 10-25% of daily bandwidth or less (uneducated guess). That means if 5% of the users are using 100% of the bandwidth continually, than everything is fine as long as the ISP can supply at least ~30% of the user bandwidth x the number of users.
I could be completely off base however...
Seems to me cameras went digital, I wonder if the next digital revolution will indeed be e-readers (not the current somewhat bulky ones but ones that actually virtually replace paper)...
Sounds good to me but I know MS is less likely to listen than/. so I'm makin my plea where it has a slightly higher chance to be heard...
Microsoft bad code offsets could repay the stimulus package though...
Oh and some better IE6 support would be nice, previewing a vertical column is annoying (yes there are those of us who get our hands slapped just for installing mozilla...) sigh.

Bullseye.

Because scientist's interpretation of what they see is never wrong! When did science start to feel more like religion to me...

Ok how do I get new line characters into my post? I did a (very) brief search on this and don't see anything. Is it just because I'm using IE6?

The idea is ammusing and having the money donated to a open source project is cool but the prices are a tad high for my blood...
So does that mean in place of DOSing someone I should post a slashdot article on their website to make it legal?
