He also doesn't point out the requirement to give your first born offspring either. While it may be prudent to make a point like this, doesn't make it true. We could make all sorts of claims about what he doesn't say.
It won't change things for me. Developers are still releasing games for PS2. PS3 is 'good enough' for most game playing enjoyment, and will be for a few more years. I foresee a very low uptake on the next gen of consoles, atleast right away. Lots of people will be playing PS3 games, and swapping selling them for a long time until the PS4 catalogue fleshes out. Especially if there is no backward compatibility.
DMC: Devil May Cry is 60€ for the console and 50€ on Steam here in Ireland. It is my belief that Steam are selling it cheaper as they don't have to contend with resale or packaging. That or they are just not greedy bastards.
I may have a solution to your black screen issue. I had a similar issue when I build my own PC. When you first connect a HDMI to an nVidia card, there's a problem where, because of the security/login screen powering off any additional monitors until you login to the desktop, your HDMI (Home Theatre) screen may be designated as the 'other' screen, and thus is black. The computer doesn't seem to realise that there's no main screen in the DVI ports.
So what you need to do is connect something to the main DVI port (move the machine back to your office) and then go into the nVidia settings and set it so that any additional screens added clone the main screen instead of extending it by default.
I don't know about your wireless keyboard, but perhaps going onto the Manufacturer website and pre-installing some drivers will help.
I have a really nice new PC that I built, but I also have an XBOX360 and a PS3. Like you, I much prefer playing beat-em-ups and racing games on the console. I pretty much use steam exclusively for my games (except WoW) and their catalogue of racing and fighting games is pretty thin atm. I have the wireless controller adaptor for use of XBOX controllers with the PC and I play Castle Crashers, Bastion, Magica and more on the PC using the big screen, with my wife. I play Dark Souls on my own on the PC screen, so she can watch Downton Abby and The Good Wife on the TV. I play Forza 4 & Halo on the XBOX and Dust514 and Final Fantasy on the PS3.
I don't think I'll upgrade my consoles, but I definitly won't be getting rid of them any time soon, just because I can use the PC with a controller and on the big screen. Until I can get all the games I want on just one Platform, I like that I have the choice.
They covered that in the Blog. The charge is not gone, but the cold does affect their _reading_ of the charge. Once the car gets going, and warms up, the reading will correct.
No, I think the issue may be that the computer has to work to keep the speed constant. Controlling the throttle yourself means it is your foot that is controlling the speed, keeping it constant.
That's my interpretation anyway. The car may be slowing and speeding up fractionally, but this 'looser' control probably takes less overall energy than the computer making 100's of adjustments per second to keep the speed dead level.
When the patent system was drawn up, I do not thing they had second generation GM crops in mind, in the same way they didn't have computer software in mind. All this tells us is that the patent system needs to be reformed, and a decision regarding GM crops (and software) worked out.
I must declare that I work in pharma, and I see the value in patents as applied to a business that must put in so much research and investment into a strain of a protein, and then try to make that back all in a limited length of time, before the patent expires. If there was such a loophole as "second generation of the strain" that invalidated all the work put into developing the parent, then companies will stop developing them.
You cannot question that Monsanto's right to make money on the invested research (I'm not going to touch the topic of legitimate farmers accidentally having the crop on their land) when a completely un-foreseeable loophole makes its way in.
Yes, it's possible that Monsanto could have bribed their way to victory, or this may simply be a case where the farmers cannot afford the same lawyers as M, but seen objectively, if the "property" of the GM crop is that it is immune to glyphosate, and the farmers are taking full advantage of this, then they are breaking the "spirit" of the patent, if not the law of it (because the law isn't written to cover second generation of GM Crops).
I was just thinking that this won't end well. They have just blatantly stated that there was nothing preventing them from doing this before now. I wonder whether owners of the software are eligible for some sort of refund.
Please remember that even the purest fruit juice is BAD for you. Taking in such a concentrated dose of 'natural' fructose will make you fat. Taking the juice without the fibre is only going to do damage in the end.

So in order to keep this going, I'm betting that Peter Turkson gets appointed the next Pope. Then they can start the Armageddon countdown. Thankfully, Bruce Willis is still alive.
Is this why we have such miserable weather over here in Ireland? Quit hogging the sunshine America, leave some for us. This is so typical of you, you make nothing of your own, you just take it from everyone else.
After you have received a number of packages, you can send them back to the retailer. You'll need to include in the parcel some kind of sensor to make sure your sensors don't get dropped in transit.

The same can be said for Flour Production!
Isn't the internet run on vacuum tubes?

It makes sense. If the front wheels are smaller than the back, then it's like the car is rolling downhill all the time.

One of these days I'll come across a sentence like "This breathing mask is for Intensive Purposes" and my head may explode.
Just give it time, all those trees will be Oil eventually.

Do you have any idea what effect this would have on your average /. reader?

I think it's an encryption issue.
Because he was our best hope for the creation of a Death Star (considering the US have decided not to run with it)
They should make a Dvorak keypad, with the most commonly used number in the middle.
But your average Superbowl viewer will just ask "What's an Extra Large Vii?", quickly followed by "Does that come in a Supersize?"

Also serves to make the point that being top doesn't make you the best, or even mediocre.
