The gaming industry is changing. Every one of the major players is trying to find a way to change with it and are taking different paths to find out which works and which doesn't work doesn't make them evil or good.. They are just trying to find a way to produce games and be profitable is the goal, they are forcing you to anything (which would be evil). So, what's happening is what you should WANT to happen.
What does vilifying those that have a different viewpoint accomplish?
But I have yet to here one person I know give a positive review of Windows 8 on the PC or phone. I do know that MS is paying people to make positive posts however so I'm dubious whenever I read them in posts.
Thought I'd point out that I have an Epic and in tests I've run against iPhone's (3g, 3gs, 4g), it's been faster than them all at internet access. This went against the tests though showing the iPhone 4g was faster. Then, at the bottom of the page I saw that the iPhone's where benefiting from a 3g microcell. Talk about apples to oranges...
This article was written by people just barely technologically literate so I'll give another vote for it being written by someone's marketing department.
As for the battery life, I'm getting a solid day of usage out of mine (12-15 hours) after the last firmware update. They say they are rolling Froyo out now starting overseas so hopefully in a few weeks it'll make it here.
Exactly. Tell them they can't do it. Tell that you don't want them getting involved with that crowd. That it's "not the right crowd" to be involved with. Tell them you don't even think they would be good at it.
Almost all children rebel as teenagers. The trick to be a good parent is trying to pick a suitable rebellion.
My father told me to give up computers. They where a fad and that I should spend my time learning how to do things that will make me money later in life. Only rub was, he was serious...
I still bring that up to him for a good laugh now and then.
People need to realize that the internet is a public forum. IANAL but management training I've been at had the opinion that posting something publicly is the same as volunteering information in an interview. And just because an employer can't ask something doesn't mean that they can't use it as a factor in hiring you or not.
Even if they can't, like posting you're gay for instance, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. People are a slave to their preferences and if a person doesn't like gays, you're less likely to get the job.
Also people need to realize that if you post it on the internet, it may forever be unretractable. Think that picture is gone just because you deleted it from Photobucket? Think again. It may be on the next CD of 2,000+ images of college girls gone wild. Same goes for your friends posting photos/stories of you. It may be gone for years. Then surface when you run for public office.
People have to realize that hiring someone is difficult. I Google people before offering every time as resumes and interviews can only go so far. MTF, since we do internet work, if I DON'T find any trace of someone online that will set of red flags.
Zap2it has been awesome to let us use their listing feed. But they expressly forbid this kind of for-profit usage. I'm hoping they are using another feed..
Of course, they might say on their site if it wasn't melted already...
I've heard that comparison several times and I thought it was just wrong. After all, I talk on the cell phone and my driving is pretty good. That is what I thought at least, until I started riding a motorcycle on the street. You notice everything when on a bike in the middle of a bunch of distracted car drivers, and soon I started noticing several patterns. The biggest was that people talking on a cell phone can be spotted easily.
They veer constantly between the lines. Sometimes it's just a little but they all do it. Most aren't even aware of it.
Their reaction time is slowed tremendously. The light turns green/red, someone stops in front of them, etc.. They are always just a bit late on their reaction.
You all can tell yourselves that you don't do that. That YOU ARE a good driver, and you probably normally are. But so am I.. And so are probably 50% of the people I spot weaving and hitting the brakes 1 second later than they should.
Ok, I was going to agree that our industry isn't the best dressed, then I went and RTFA.. Did anyone NOT see the picture of the guy they consider to be dressed well? I don't know of ANY straight guy that would dress like that. Dressing like that just screams "flaming homosexual".. Not that there is anything wrong with that but...
Seriously, I stopped wear ties and long sleave shirts because I kept getting grease on the shirt and the tie kept getting in the way when loading computers into the rack. Face it, suit and tie is fine when you sit around in meeting and talk on the phone all day but when you WORK for a living, they get in the way.
I hate war as much as the next guy but war I bet has advanced us much more than most will admit.
Nuclear energy, rockets, flight, bronze... Conflict and especially life and death possibilities motivate.
I bet that if we where always peaceful, we'd still be using horse drawn carriages.

I thought the same way you did when I was 21. Just wait until you have kids. The magic of Christmas only exists in children. I, for one, would hate to deny it too them.
We are have a SECONDARY license. Primary are users of large cranes and contstruction equipment. Not to mention that pager frequencies and some TV channels in some areas are are in between a couple of our channels. This is why certain fields have certain channels banned. (21 & 22 on ours)
That's odd. I do IMAP over SSL and it's faster than 1.4 for me. I have about two dozen folders with several hundred meg of mail in them so it's not like it's a small task to scan my email.
My observations where over a cable modem so YMMV.
Keep in mind that SSL doesn't like packet loss so if your network was experiencing any problems...
Corrosion should not happen. Not in the lifetime of your system anyways. Distilled water + anti-corrosion type additive should see to that in closed loop system.
These systems must have UL approval right? If so, I don't think your insurance company would be able to say jack if you didn't just grossly mis-install it. But, since it involves water + electronics, I wonder about requirements of a GFCI circuit.
20 seconds 0-60 will get you killed here. Not as bad as LA or Dallas (the two worst places I've ever seen) but we have some very badly designed roads..
I haven't had Windows on my computer in years. My daughter, who is now 5, has only used it for the past 2 years and can "surf" with the best of them. My 2 yr old daughter is now getting into it and they love the flash games on certain websites and other programs like Tuxracer and Tux Paint.
The 5 year old is already asking how the computers "talk" to each other and wanting to do a webpage. I'm proud..
Someday I'll get a "My child can hack your child's computer" bumper sticker...
Your right, but the fireman isn't doing anything wrong so that kindof falls outside the analogy.
Note, I'm not saying one should set booby traps. But the notion that criminals are "victims" is one of the stupidest things I've heard otherwise intelligent people defend.

Ever heard of Netscape Livewire? (Google it kids)
And yes it sucked.
Crowd funded = big budget? I think you maybe posted in the wrong thread..
*snarky MS comment on*
Well you knew this would happen shortly after Microsoft bought them....
*snarky MS comment off*
So, if you buy the game new, you get content. If you buy the game used, you don't get that content but are still able to play the game.
So is it "bonus" content that rewards the people who paid full price for the game? Sounds like it.
I like buying used cars but I don't complain if the "new car smell" is gone. I didn't want it nor want to pay for it so....
Just fail to see what all the "outrage" is about...
The latest firmware took mine from 8 hours normal to 12 - 15 hours normal. Everything stock.
Thought I'd point out that I have an Epic and in tests I've run against iPhone's (3g, 3gs, 4g), it's been faster than them all at internet access.

I at first read it at Orgasm... Which is I imagine was the intent of the headline writer.
Then realized it said organism and thought for a second that my wife had finally made it into a story on Slashdot..
This isn't new software, it's just a new release. My wife is a photographer and we've been using this with a Gimp plugin for quite awhile now.
o ration
Gimp plugin can be found here: http://www.haypocalc.com/wiki/Gimp_Plugin_GREYCst
It does ok and can salvage some photos, some, it can't.
Thanks Freshmeat!! ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Slashdot!!

How is this different than a heat sink + fan? If the fan gives out, you're toast.
Oklahoma? Friendly drivers??? That's a laugh.
20 seconds 0-60 will get you killed here. Not as bad as LA or Dallas (the two worst places I've ever seen) but we have some very badly designed roads..
I can see your point..
You shouldn't ever had to learn anything. What nerve people have expecting you to learn something new...
And nevermind all the packaging systems (ie: rpm).. Probably too complex..
