Perhaps the high workloads, and the stress as a result from that, could qualify as a reason for that. The 24 hour economy forces people to work harder and harder, and limits employees to socialize during working hours; you only have time to work (as hard as you can). So when the day is done, what would you rather do: go have a party with co-workers, or go home to your family (or on your own) or go to friends?
I know that I would rather spend some time on my own, than spending some more hours in a work-related environment. Because what do people mostly talk about on after-hour company events: yes, work!
And for not really being interested in the company (not reading the company magazine): by being forced to work harder, and thereby increasing stresslevels, the employee is more and more alienated from the company; so he/she will be more reluctant to now more about the company.

Well, IANAL, but when you read carefully, I think that you can decompile,
reverse engineer and/or disassemble:
you may not decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, modify, rent,
lease, loan, sublicense, distribute or create derivative works based upon
the:CRQ software
Does this sentence say anywhere that you can't decompile the:CRQ software?
No, it says that you can't decompile OR create derivative works. Decompile
what? It doesn't say. It actually says that you can't RE, disassemble and
decompile derivative works based upon their software. So be their guest,
and work on their software... that's not derivative! How to make a sig without having an idea
In a few years time, the sports bit will probably be dropped completely. Maybe they will start giving away medals for the best marketing campaign, the best advertisement, the nicest VIP-lounge, the biggest sponsor, the cleverest bribe, the nicest dress that was worn to one of the million parties, the funniest tie, the most empty speech, the largest batch of caviar eaten in one go, the biggest gulp of champagne, the most interesting new piece of merchandise, the most meaningless use of the word 'olympic' in one sentence, etc...

None of the FPS games I played (doom, quake, half-life etc..) are at all difficult to play. You can run around like a complete moron, shoot everthing that moves, open a few doors and press a few buttons (oh yeah, and press 'E' to talk to the scientists in half-life). Presto, game solved.
I would like to see a game in which you must really think to reach the end of the game. In (almost?) all the FPS games you are automatically led to the end of the game, but for pressing a few buttons.

In this
article yesterday some threads discussed really interactive books; my own
reaction was that I definately would like to see a combination of FPS (first
person shooter), a good book and good music. In that way you would combine
a good story (not present in current FPS's, sort of present in adventure
games), with real interactivity. Suppose you could *be* your preferred
character in one of your favourite books...
Ideally, the adventure would have to have multiple plots and storylines,
the main characters should be 'configurable' to your own wishes, etc..
I do play FPS games from time to time, and I do admire the graphics
and all, but those games tend to be very boring, because the levels are
too easy to solve. The level writers seek complexitiy in just adding more
and more opponents in a level, instead of adding more story and more puzzles
to solve.
So in my opinion, the FPS is *not* the right way to go, it should be
combined with the good elements from the 'old' adventure games. How to make a sig without having an idea
Yeah, but if technique is far enough, why couldn't you change the characters to anything you would want them to be? You could make the story sort of like how you would want it to go, or just try out different options or strategies. You could even try this in a multi-user situation. A bit like a RPG, but still different. How to make a sig without having an idea
1. I wouldn't trade my (rather big) *paper* book collection for all the e-books in the world. There is more to books then content alone.
2. A *real* interactive book would be great. Think of a great novel, combined with music, different plots, and gameplay graphics a la Quake. Now that's a combination I would go for!

That's not quite right....
The same problem appears in OO-programming. Writing the different methods for your objects is not too hard, must of the time it's quite simple, and the methods themselves are all small and easy to debug. The real problems arise when you try to let the objects interact, and you have all sorts of methods calling each other. I find that most of the debugging time is not spent on the methods themselves, but instead on the interaction between the different methods and objects. That's where the complexity lies!

I think that just like the real world, you can *never* prevent crimes from happening. You can, however, make the criminal's life as hard as possible by heavier punishment, making it more difficult to break in etc.. You can only make it more difficult, but not impossible.

I don't have a problem with local content being written in the local language, but that's not exactly opening up to the world is it? It would be a definitive advantage if all information was in one language, and thus accesable to everyone. Now a lot of content stays hidden, because of the fact that you don't speak the language. A lot of effort is put in multilangual search engines; I always look up information in English, although I am dutch. So is all this effort wasted? How to make a sig without having an idea
Absolutely right; what is the percentage of mandaring speaking people that are actually *using* the internet? Totals in itself are not that interesting. I think that the internet is still technology driven, and the language is therefore english. As long as Mandarin and Spanish speaking people are not taking the technological lead, english will remain the language of the web.
First of all, it's longer than five years: all the russion missions to Mars failed. But: not *all* missions failed. The viking missions where succesful, the pathfinder mission was succesful.
