Well I guess that is the standard money making back up plan: If you can't make money by working hard or providing a useful product or service, sue someone else to make money.
Somehow I feel like the computer will be similar to the computer in the south park episode The Day the Internet Stood Still. For those of you who haven't seen it, the men get their porn fix by taking turns looking at a computer that is actually a cardboard box with a guy inside drawing pictures on a piece of paper and holding them up to a cutout in the box.
Researcher: I want $3000 like Google and Mozilla pay.
Microsoft Representative: No.
Researcher: $2000?
Microsoft Representative: No.
Researcher: Could I at least meet Bill Gates?
Microsoft Representative: *sigh*No, anything else?
Researcher: Uhm... lapdance?
Microsoft Representative: Ok fine, we will pay you one lapdance or hentai dvd per bug. That is my only and final offer.
Researcher: DEAL!
No, it's first person view that's completely unusable for any game. If I could do 1 thing to improve gaming, it would be to go back in time and murder the guy who created FPS before he was born. Gaming for the past decade would be orders of magnitude better.
How exactly do you murder someone BEFORE they are born?
Unfortunately, by the time Sony finishes this technology no one will actually use disc anymore. Everyone will just stream or download their movies... Oh wait, too late.
Yeah I am pretty sure you are right about that. I remember them announcing Ultima Online 2 somewhere around 1999-2000 timeframe and the rumor I heard was that it was cancelled because Origin feared that it would detract from the player base of the original Ultima Online and they didn't believe that an MMO could grow much larger than UO had. They were proven VERY wrong by WoW.
The password is, one (echo one, re-echo one), two (echo two, re-echo two), three (echo three, re-echo three), four (echo four, re-echo four), five (echo five, re-echo five). So the combination is... one, two, three, four, five? That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! The kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!
Yeah, you gotta burn the good stuff if you don't wanna be green anymore. Like coal and oil! Good ole coal and oil never let us down. They don't damage anything...

I thought there was sand too?
That unit of measure is too variable. What if another group like Z Z Top gets famous and throws the average time a beard grows per second off?

Must have been an empty catch around the OilWell.Plug() method.
What did we learn kids? Always catch and log your errors. Notification emails are a good thing.

Luckily, it would probably be destroyed once it stumbled across goatse.
Would that be Universal thermonuclear war
Also, if you type the konami code...

They test windows?!

"GM estimates that the value of the stolen documents is over $40 million."
GM is worth something still?
If anyone at GM had any common sense, they'd be encouraging the rest of the world to copy their business, it could save the company.
But what would we drive after everyone's car broke down?
Perhaps we should let them have a design for a car who's doors weld themselves closed and then the engine catches fire.
Wouldn't we have to steal Toyota's trade secrets to do that?
I thought everyone knew that the Safari is full of bugs?
I photoshopped myself next to one once, does that count?

Why exactly are all of the photos you submitted for review PSD files? Oh and you forgot to merge the layers...
...And did I mention the shadowing is all wrong here?

I like the idea, but I think we should use sharks with laserbeams attached to their heads in the lake to shoot the clouds.
...but lakes are freshwater, so no sharks huh?
...forget the whole plan.
I thought thats what I signed up for when I got an account at /.
Actually he could get closer if he started making out with her reflection.
