    Remember the famous "bridge to nowhere"?

    You mean the same "Bridge to Nowhere" that Palin was a supporter of when running for Governor in 2006 but then rewrote history when a VP candidate to claim that she was against Congress earmarking the money? And actually that very same bridge was very popular within Alaska of the citizens. So other than Palin using it is a political stunt during her VP run, it doesn't actually fit into what you were claiming.

    Yep sounds like a company run by people thinking Office Space is a management tutorial. The company I left last year was doing the same. Even so much as trying out Hawaiian shirt days and ice cream socials nonsense. You could tell they were getting desperate. The funniest was the motivational posters that had pictures of people who had just been fired or quit a few months before this.

    How exactly is OpenOffice,org closed source?

    No that only still only superficially looks like OS X. There is more to OS X than sleeping Docky on Gnome.Shell.

    Wrong. The average death rate from accidents worldwide is 98 per 100,000 vehicles from the World Health Organization. You have less than .1% chance of dying. And in many countries the rate is closer to .01%.

  8. Re:Rebirth on The Rebirth of PC Gaming? Bring On the Modders! · · Score: 0

    It would ony be 'fastest growing' because of the pitiful amount of sales compared to consoles for most titles. And considering that their are over 230 million current gen consoles sales plus another 150 million of current gen handhelds so it is high doubtful it is the largest platform. The Wii alone accounts for more than double the amount of Steam users.

    Because Valve already long ago recouped their money.

    You apparently went to a shitty school. I learned about Tesla in a number of science classes. Just because you went to some crap school doesn't mean I owe some internet retard money.

    How exactly is writing a blog post under your legal name 'anonymous speech'? Also, no, it isn't protected to write shill blog posts under while being paid by a corporation. The FTC, for example, in 2009 made explicit rules about bliggers having to disclose if a company is paying them if they do product reviews.

    Since many of the shares issued were non-voting that's not likely. This is why even though he owns about 28% of the total stock that he has around 57% of the voting shares. He did this intentionally.

    I'd bet your recent DVI monitors support HDMI.

    You bet wrong. There is no HDMI. I also have HP monitors that are only about a year old that are VGA only and again have no copy protection. So no matter what you say, the statement the person made is patently false. There is no legal requirement to implement HDCP.
