If anyone can make this work, it would be Amazon. They have, in their own way, been as influential in the tech arena as anyone these last few years. Figuring out the logistics of home grocery delivery should be doable for them.
Is it? Einstein, Hawking, Nietzsche all did their greatest work before they got older. The man who invented the technology for the original mammogram was 27. It was my understanding that if you didn't do anything great by the time you turn 30, you're unlikely to achieve anything of note after that. Particularly in theoretical and academic realms.
That's exactly right!
Look at Dr. Richard Daystrom, invented duotronics at the age of 24! Then for a quarter of a century, nothing. That is, until at age 49 he demonstrated the M-5... and everyone remembers what happened with that thing, right? Right? </nerd>
The TSA was proposed and pushed for hard by Democrats in the weeks and months following 9/11. When the Bush administration objected, the Democrats proclaimed that any objections to the TSA were purely motivated by partisanship, something that was supposedly set aside after the towers fell.
The belief at the time was that the TSA was a means to federalize all the airport security personnel and to pork up the enrollment in the federal unions.
Texas is anti-science.
Texas is where anti-science text books get rubber stamped for use in schools across the country.
I'm rather glad we aren't sending historical artifacts from when we led in Science and Engineering to the state that most directly destroys science education in this country.
I've always had great success using the pealed sticker itself. After removing, rub the portion of the sticker with adhesive on the crud stuck to the laptop. Repeat a few times and you'll end up with a clean surface. Works great, no need for other products.
Well, I believe that Sony has stated that firmware access for NetFlix will be a Plus exclusive for a month or so. After that, it will be moved to the free side.
PSN Plus is a superset of PSN, mainly related to the PSN online store. With Plus, they offer beta access to some games, store discounts, free copies of older PSN titles as well as other goodies. The core networking of PSN is untouched and remains free.
As the mid-term elections draw closer and closer here in the US, expect to see more of these "rally the troops" type of half-baked stories. Typical election season chow.
Hopefully, the editors of/. will avoid falling in with the heard and... oh who am I kidding. Bring on the spinmeisters!
Errr, no.
Both the DHS and TSA were proposals made by left-leaning Democrats in the weeks and months following 9/11. The Bush administration was initially opposed to the idea, but finally gave in to the "were all in this together" bi-partisan mood that followed the attacks.
Having the last 2 years of Bush with Democrats forcing continual 90-day war funding+lotsa pork bills didn't help much on the spending front...
The Rage engine, however, should be a different matter entirely. The MegaTexture tech gives developers the capability of porting their present-day Xbox360 and PS3 games to the Xbox4 and PS4 platforms with an immediate boost to graphic quality. If id is smart enough, they will have the game code separate from the engine code. Hell, if they do that, id might do the porting for free. In fact, that might make solid business sense, given the value that id has in the megatex tech. Keep the engine code binary-only.
Story goes that when Rage was demoed at the latest E3, the UT engineers walked out of the demo shaking their heads.

So, does this make all the pop musicians who lip-sync to their own music illegal too?
Wait... that's a good thing, right?
Randy Pitchford, is that you?

Oh no! Steve? Steve?!?!?

Boring.
Amazon does a lively business selling Playstation 3 consoles and games. I doubt Sony will want to bite one of the hands that feeds it.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
The world needs ditched diggers too, ehh Judge Smails?
The game will feature a storyline
Well that's new...
Want some rhy? 'Course you do!
Here's to us!
Who's like us?
Damn few!

I know it's idle and all, but really? Linking to Cracked? I just looked at the firehose, and there is some good stuff in there.
Seriously... Cracked?
Yep. And if you dislike Obama's policies, you must be a racist.
And if you subscribe to the views of the "Tea Party", you must be an ignorant redneck.
Yep. Lots of fear-mongering going on.
