How do you justify taking into account internet connectivity costs?
I justify it by using it in both scenarios: I have not discluded it at all - I have factored the cost of internet into all equations.
The only money I left out was the cost of games (as I'm not sure onLive's prices and people pay different prices for new games, used games, steam as a retailer, etc etc)
Four years out of a 1k gaming rig? I'm a cheap bastard, and I still spend $400 a year to keep just above minimum specs for the new engines.
Really? My friend spend about $1000 bucks in 2005 or 2006 for a Quad Core from Intel and has upgraded the Ram Once and it's lasted him this whole time.
Lets say you've got $1000 bucks to spend. Internet connection we'll say is ~$30 a month. Thats for decent gaming speeds @ home. In scenario A, you grab a $200 computer and your total billing becomes $45 a month - so ~18 months of gaming.In the other scenario, 18 months of internet connectivity is $540. That leaves you $460 for a new Rig. Not a whole lot to deck out your machine.
Reversely, if you buy an 800$ machine, expecting it to last you 3 years, thats $800 + $540 so $1340 overall. If you buy a $200 machine, expecting to play for 3 years, thats $200 + 1620 so 1820 overall. Saving about 500 bucks. The only factors you as a user have to think about its how long you'll go between upgrades.
This OnLive System appears to work well for those who want to game during summer vacation but Buckle down during the school year - in other words: Short spurts of gaming.
Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, 2K Games, THQ and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The games will also include new releases like Mass Effect 2, Borderlands, Assassin’s Creed II
These companies are also working with Valve/Steam team and those games are available as well?
Its worth a shot though, I found it helped me a lot. Throughout Highschool me and my friends were addicted to online gaming. It was always a different game each day of the month, we were constantly up until 3 to 5 am each night. This of course took a toll on our sleep schedules. Chemistry, I loved Chem naps. Couldn't sleep if we were doing a lab but for the most part I could just put my head on my desk and be right out of it.
My parents had gotten me a 512MB MP3 player (MuVo I think?) which had a voice recorder in it. I told me prof that its unlikely my sleeping is going to change, and that I would put this voice recorder on the front desk and listen to it all later. Tell me what pages in the text book to follow along with, or I can borrow notes from someone if I need to.
She had no problem with it, and it really helped. When I'd get home from school I'd be able to put on the recording with the internet at my fingertips - That was ultimately more useful than any Textbook or notes I could jot down. If there was -ANYTHING- at all I didn't understand, the web had an explanation.
Sounds like one of those recursive quantum anomalies the LHC is designed to unravel...
Actually, we've taken George Lucas' idea of a Death Star and built a giant Laser producing facility on the crust of our planet. Some minor set backs, of course, but we will have the power to destroy an entire planet soon enough. This whole "Quantum Physics" thing was just to get all the physicists on board, since most of them actually favour Star Trek.
Oh its owned by a corporation alright, but you'd never guess who. This goes as far back as the East India [trading] Company. The EIC was running England way back in the day, but they had to keep up appearances. So, under the illusion of disappearance, EIC supposedly fell off the map, but in secret, key members were still having the executive decision in England. It got quite upset when the United States of America broke off. Ever since that day they have held a hateful grudge. England was wary to join the EU at first because they weren't sure if they could keep up the act. It's difficult to cover your tracks and hide all the evidence you know. Anyways, when the United states became big with Hollywood and Rock n Roll, this was their chance to strike back. What was the East India Company's biggest threat when they ruled the seas? That's right - PIRATES. Taking this idea is the entire foundation of music and movie piracy, bootlegging etc. Then when the internet came along, they kept up with the times and started digital pirating. Condemning such scapegoats as "The Pirate Bay" only serves to help keep the guise up. As such, we've been locked in battle ever since - Corporate America and its music labels versus the European Union (EIC) and its highly sophisticated piracy. You need look no further for evidence of my claims than European music. See: Basshunter.
Eating too fast is one of top reasons Obesity occurs. Your stomach takes a while to send the "I'm full" signal to your brain. Something like 8 minutes, I think. So when you slam down a bunch of food and then think "I'm full" you end up over-eating, more than your stomach can handle. So your body turns it to fat.
So the problem wasn't that he couldn't find information about PDF Suite at all, but rather he couldn't find enough information to determine whether the program was legitimate.
If you investigate the actual website - you'll see that PDF Suite looks very, very, very legit. Websites like that aren't that easy to deploy.
Exactly. If you have the time to download an application you have time to download malware detection.
And really, what do you suppose you were going to do if Google did confirm it as Malware? You can't download anything and you don't have a USB stick with that stuff on it - in most cases you're pooched already.
It honestly sounds like either you or the person you're helping simply don't want to put in the effort in -actually- testing the machine for malware.
Make Wikipedia a P2P project without a single control, and build a cascading network of trust relationships on top of it, and you solve all problems with then not-existing central authorities, and so also with censorship
Who in their right mind is going to set up a network where they themselves are not the central authorities of what goes onto it? Those people who get bored will create thousands upon thousands of useless articles to use up space on the server - and since no authority is there to restrict that, it'll work. And if you put any kind of countermeasure in place, thats opening itself to censorship, or centralized authority.
The only caveat: People have to learn again, who to trust and who not. (Example of where this fails: Political parties and other groups with advanced social engineering / rhetorics / mass psychology skills, like marketing companies.)
Sounds more like everything would become politically charged - actually. Not that I'd ever cite wikipedia for a paper, but suppose I did, and my teacher can't find the article because we differ in political opinion, and thus we don't trust the same sources.
I suppose if your ISP got one of these you might find an improvement - especially if Google opens shop next door and wants to offer you a Gigabit connection to your house, your ISP might jump up to stay in competition.
And, just in case you weren't aware, there are cases where networking exists outside of the internet. True story!

Steam is Free?
But not for Mac users (yet).
AFAIK
Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, 2K Games, THQ and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The games will also include new releases like Mass Effect 2, Borderlands, Assassin’s Creed II

It's not restricted to Android phones, if thats what you are saying
No don't get me wrong, I see the applications of Augmented Reality. I don't get the applications of Augmented Reality Games

Augmented Reality gaming - I don't see how it will work. Or is this kind of like that 4 square app?
"Dismantled" would be a better choice.
I think "Superior" would be a superior choice.
It's not hard to suggest Synonyms and sound pompous.
Now try 8. If you do a good job, It'll be instantly modded +5 something.
Don't get your hopes up, in the Metric system 98% isn't a majority.

That Higgs Boson is finding more and more creative ways... Seems this time it went so far back as to flaw the LHC's design.
How long do we have before it goes further back and destroys humanity?
Isn't that also why no one is held accountable for a company's actions?
We should probably get around to changing that one of these days. -SOMEONE- has to be in charge in order to take the responsibility.

In all honesty guys, this one was obvious.
If nothing else - it slows down your eating.
Eating too fast is one of top reasons Obesity occurs. Your stomach takes a while to send the "I'm full" signal to your brain. Something like 8 minutes, I think. So when you slam down a bunch of food and then think "I'm full" you end up over-eating, more than your stomach can handle. So your body turns it to fat.

Looks like you have yourself a Hijacker. Check your DNS.
Some Malware puts itself onto the Kernell - and will be present during safe mode.
I take it you've never had to deal with an infest HAL.DLL before? Don't delete it.
Exactly. If you have the time to download an application you have time to download malware detection.
And really, what do you suppose you were going to do if Google did confirm it as Malware? You can't download anything and you don't have a USB stick with that stuff on it - in most cases you're pooched already.

Just to play devil's advocate

Probably. 322 Tbit/sec is quite a lot.
