I think it's safe to say that a good part of the longevity of Japanese folks comes from genetic and lifestyle factors, rather than their healthcare system.
I'm all for discussion and criticism of Schmidt's statement, but I'm not sure I want to punish a company because their CEO was actually honest about their beliefs.
What more do you want? Confirmation from Netcraft? These sort of PR slips aren't allowed very often, and for good reason.
If you don't agree with the CEO's attitude, why shouldn't you stop using their services?
Is "profane" language really such a concern anymore? Every I know who is under 40 tends to swear quite freely... having kids turns them into a hypocrite about the subject or what?
These concerns have always struck me as very unsophisticated... a belief in magical "bad" words seems pretty backward even by general religious standards... and if you're not religious, than what possible justification is used for the belief in "bad" words? Tradition?
register FCC, NSA, and FBI, and various senators (sponsors of the DMCA in particular) IP addresses and see how the law doesn't apply to them, only to citizens like you.:)
FTFY. We all know the law is their weapon to wield as they wish, and it won't be turned against them.
Come to think of it, the elderly also have weakened joints and tendons, and that might be an even bigger problem. You would need extra strength in the bone-bone and bone-muscle connections to handle the extra muscle.
Elderly people have lowered bone mass. As mentioned above with astronauts, having extra muscle mass and lessened bone mass is a bad idea because it would become very easy to injure yourself.
I hardly consider the annoying Google Updater to be a positive feature... especially since it insists on reinstalling/resetting itself when users attempt to remove it.
Why not? They use flight simulators to train pilots. This is the same basic idea. There is no question learning course layouts via GT would be very helpful if you were placed on the physical track you've lapped many times virtually. I've tackled the virtual Nürburgring enough times that I would be able to put in decent hot laps on a first visit much quicker than someone who didn't have much experience on the track layout from a video game and had to tread more carefully.
The main thing is to build up the physical stamina you need for whatever level you race at. Most people could never handle Formula 1, but they could probably handle a 2-liter touring car.
Further, and I don't say this to troll, but WTF is the use of a 100mbit connection anyway? I "only" have 15mbits and I'm hard pressed to max it out. The only way I've ever been able to peg my connection is to start three or four Linux ISO downloads from different FTP sites. Just what are people doing with these connections that I'm unable to do with mine? I'm sure that as technology advances we'll use more and more bandwidth but it seems to me that at the present time once you exceed a certain amount it's all dick waving from that point going forward.
Does anybody here in the states with FiOS actually pay for the higher tiers? What do you use it for if you do?
Be aware that they don't offer any Linux drivers! You'll need to run XP, Vista, or 7 in a VM in order to be able to use the printer if you are a Linux user.
Actually, cars today have a longer design cycle than they did at any time in the past. Cost to design is higher than ever before... why do you think some many companies are merging?
Look at a Tri-Five Chevy (1955, 1956,1957)... how many cars today get such a substantial cosmetic makeover after only one model year? The answer is none.
Further proof can be found in the number of hugely powerful vehicles coming out right now (BMW 760Li, X5M, X6M) that are not in step with the current, more conservative market (even though enthusiasts like me admire them). These "more of everything" designs all began long before the current recession occurred, but only now are some of them coming to market.
Finally, I would point out that the Panther platform cars from Ford have existed in the same general form for an incredible 30 years now... how many cars from the 1960's were designed in the 1930's?
There is only finite bandwidth available to everyone and one guy in his parents' basement can slow traffic for everyone else. This forces the ISPs to need to replace their cables more often due to the increase in average use. Shouldn't these users be forced to pay more for their extra usage or at least be throttled to the point they aren't causing physical damage to the entire system?

You have a Kodak printer too, eh? :P
You can run it from a Windows VM.
Yeah, I wasn't originally getting that when I opened the page... even worse, the "don't ask me again" button doesn't do anything. x_x

There will still be a winner in this case... the lawyers.

Chrono Trigger was 16-bit. 8-bit RPGs are significantly less popular nowadays... much more limited in story, graphics, gameplay, etc.

Fuck advertising.
The devs are primarily German. Cut them some slack.

Porn, bro. Porn, porn, and more porn.

The bad analogy in this case is the comparison of roadways to internet cabling.
The road experiences physical wear with usage... the cabling does not.
There is only finite bandwidth available to everyone and one guy in his parents' basement can slow traffic for everyone else. This forces the ISPs to need to replace their cables more often due to the increase in average use. Shouldn't these users be forced to pay more for their extra usage or at least be throttled to the point they aren't causing physical damage to the entire system?
Did you read what he wrote? YHBT.
Isn't this late 2009? How is late 2012 four years later?
Are you doing math on a Pentium?
Isn't this late 2009? Are you still telling jokes about the original Pentium?
Maybe you think that made what the DEIC did moral and/or ethical... but I don't.
Greed is greed. I don't care whether it's legal or not.
Just a brief read of the article about the Dutch East India Company makes me wonder just how different the two really are.
Legitimacy as a company seems to be determined by how well you succeed and how long you've been around, more than your morals or ethics.
