All Android phones - released from 2008 to present, capable of running any Android OS when the manufacturer no longer wishes to provide updates. Forever. Long live the root hackers. Google provides the OS. Manufacturers provide kernel mods / device drivers. The community takes care of keeping things up-to-date.
Apple phones - when we drop support, you need to be getting a new phone anyway, I mean come on, you don't want to be a lame-o with an old iphone, do you? Think what your neighbors will say of you.
You also get into the question of how to decide if some other person is worthless enough to conduct experiments, harvest organs, and whatever on. All through history we've found certain groups of people were considered worth so little it was okay to enslave, experiment, do whatever you want to them. We've gone through the processes and found it is fundamentally not right to treat people like that and moved to stop such practices. It would seem a step backwards than to look at this group and say, "Eh, they are nothing, go ahead and do whatever to them."
What I don't understand, is if you miss an episode, they want nothing to do with you from here on out? Hulu has a similar delay, around eight days. So, if I miss one episode, I may as well give up on watching the show with advertisements for the rest of the year? Put it up in a day, and I don't mind Hulu's shorter commercials, and you can have the viewer ready to watch it broadcast the next week.
And, stopping by XDA Developers, I see they have a group of Captivate forums. Voila, you can have Froyo too (the Android Development forum gives details).
Now, with this Apple update barely running on old ones, Apple may indeed end-of-life them by the next update. It will come some day. Then what? Will people find a way to reverse-engineer enough to make their own iOpenSource ROM? Doubtful.
My point is, at least with Android, we can continue development after the manufacturers/carriers give up on the device. Hell, in the case of HTC and their stupid Sense UI, my phone works a hell of a lot better with plain Froyo than it ever did with the legitimate software.
And on Angry Birds, the first version (1.3.6) ran just fine on my Hero, which is similarly low-powered. Find that version and give it a shot.
You'll get updates so long as Apple decides you can, just like other carriers and Android. I have a lower-end Android phone (HTC Hero). After six months or so, HTC decided it wasn't worth the bother to update it Android 2.2 (before they even released the 2.1 udpate). I'm not all that up on Apple stuff, but I recall a big spat about this update to v4 not working very well on old ipods/iphones. Both of us can just hope the companies will support the device for a reasonable time.
The Android side at least has a pretty dedicated group of volunteers working on the Android source code, the hardware company's kernel sources, etc. to keep the device working well. Once Apple says this device is at the end of the line, is there any further hope for it?
What is wrong with playing a video game while you are "sick?" Does the company have a policy listing acceptable activities to partake in when one has a sickness? If you are caught later talking about what happened that day in television, are you fired? It's not like you are at a bar and get seen by a supervisor, who can see your behavior. If anything, playing WoW proves you are indeed at home. Video games have often been a way to waste the time away while I'm sick, waiting for that magic hour when everything comes together and you're well again.
There is no way to win the Slashdot. The only point is to get the best news and comments and then sit as 'King of the Slashdots' until someone else comes along and knocks you off, or you get bored and quit.
Seriously, who over the age of 5 has 5-10 hours a day to spend posting on Slashdot?
ad nauseum. If one gets enjoyment from something, what the fuck does it matter that it doesn't bring enjoyment to you? Are your desires the measuring stick the entire world needs to use to compare them self to?
I think the point is, if as the summary states, he "can't afford expensive lawyers," then just stay away from making a damned exact duplicate of a work by a company that can afford expensive lawyers. All the people arguing whether this is in fact a violation of the DMCA and what not are missing the major factor, that it takes lawyers (and not cheap ones) to successfully make this point in the court system.
Again, make a game with some new ideas, and you'll find less need to defend your program from lawyers or the court system.
Computer screens aren't good on your eyes. It's better to print everything out and read them by the light of a fireplace, smoking a pipe, and wearing a nice smoking jacket.
If you can't see that the perpetrators are responsible for anything that occurs during the commission of a crime, then you don't need to be debating this. You aren't morally permitted to decide what is morally allowed within the justice system, when the law is written such as I stated above. I win, you lose, as my daughter tells me all too often.
Nintendo is the only one that is taking upgrades so incrementally. Gamecube went from a few 480p titles, to the Wii where most are 480p. So the next system might be 720p, hopefully?
Sony and Microsoft jumped all the way to 1080p in one move. Now they have no higher to go...
I'm not sure of the first reference offhand. The "Mission Accomplished" sign was referring the the aircraft carrier's mission, the longest deployment to sea. If you read TFB, he didn't make or know of the sign until he arrived on the deck. Even so, the message of the speech was that major combat operation were now over. Saddam was ousted. So, that first mission of the war was accomplished. He went on to talk about what's happening next, cleaning up, rebuilding, maintaining order.
And the Brownie line, what do you expect him to say in a public press conference? "F-U Brownie?" Brown had overseen four hurricane relief efforts in Florida the year before, and it went well. They just weren't prepared to deal with a mayor and governor who refused to do anything, make a formal request for help, or turn over operations to FEMA. The technical parts of the law are that states are in charge of cleanup, with the feds there for backup when requested. Mississippi had no problems making such formal requests, and things went smoother.
I found it amazing how quickly my daughter could pick up moving around the 3D world of, well, World of Warcraft. A little before the age of three, she took about 15 minutes to went from holding the arrow keys down, spinning around circles and walking into walls, to holding the up arrow to walk and simultaneously pressing the left/right arrows to maneuver all over Ironforge. Doors and stairs were the coolest things for her to see. It was all fun and games, until she found the exit and got attacked by a wolf. That made her scream and run back to her room...
Give a kid a chance, and they can figure out quite a lot.
I thought Wikileaks dealt in all sorts of leaks, corporate memos, etc. I just hit the web site and it only talks about the Afghan and Iraq war documents. So, have they changed to just this one focus? it seems short-sighted. They have already arrested the Specialist (how does someone that low rank have free reign to view and copy 400k - 2800k documents?) for leaking them. Does Assange have other sources? Do more military folks risk life in prison for him?
That all may be well and true, but the important fact we cannot overlook is that he could have said it. We need to start protesting now, before this gets to the point that he might say it. Our rights are on the line here, folks!
How much intelligence are you expecting from a PS3 owner (besides the obvious "you're" usage)? We plugged in the power cord, the HDMI-to-DVI cable, and turned it on. If the PS3 requires going into some menu setting to do otherwise, that would sound rather idiotic (given the lack of video to see the settings). I'm guessing it's as a few other posters have mentioned, that being the HDMI port is locked at all times. So, given the choice of an Xbox360 I can play on any of my half-dozen spare monitors lying about closets, or a PS3 that only works on HDCP-enabled sets, the choice is clear.
What I don't understand from the left side of American politics is how they pick these targets for political "assassination." Obama had substantial lead over McCain in polls and such from the beginning. I could see him winning with little effort, as long as he didn't screw things up himself.
So then McCain goes for a long shot VP choice, a woman, etc. Sarah wasn't much of a politician herself, some nobody from Alaska honestly. She came out saying your average Republican catch phrases, smaller governement, less taxes, etc. I still didn't see her as helping McCain all that much. Yet, from that moment, the left came out viciously against her, more so than they were against McCain. Who is she? She isn't anybody. Mayor/Governor in Alaska? That's not even a real state. That doesn't count. She doesn't know anything about the "real" America. McCain's old and going to die and she'll be King of the Land. Oh my, we're done fer now if they win. She's stupid too, look, she messed up two words in onne sentence! She's got too many kids. Look at that last one, she can't even breed right. Her daughter's pregnant and unwed, how's that for Republican "values" for ya.
This cycle, it was just like that with Christine O'Donnell. Again, she had little chance from the beginning. The other guy was ahead by ten or more points much of the time. Yet, the left came right out every day with the same visceral hate. A witch! A witch I tell ya! She's stupid. A duck is stupid. Therefore she's a witch! Then the week before election, they dig up a guy who "slept" with her after one night out at bars one Halloween some years ago. See, she's a slut. She'll sleep with anybody. Republicans and their stupid values. Oh, she only slept at the guy's apartment, no sex? Oh well, she's still a slut!
Meg Whitman. Well, that one was a little close, within five points at times. Then it's fine if Jerry's wife calls her a whore. She was one after all.
I think this kid got wound up in this extreme ferver to demonize their opponent to the point that he thinks he'll become a hero finding out Sarah's massive number of secrets that she's discussing with people in her emails. Honestly, what are you going to find? Photos from a family reunion? The secret plans of the Bildeburgers, Illuminati, etc? Still, why not target the actual political enemies for this sort of stuff? McCain, people in much closer elections your side might lose, etc?
So, sell the original game for 40-50% of the cost. I frequently see things like Fallout 3 for Xbox360 on my town's Craiglist page at around that price. Or use eBay, Goozex, etc for something similar. Then you can recoup some of the cost. As an early adopter, this is the price you pay. You get to enjoy the game's content for that year or so, while I don't get to enjoy it until I buy that Game-of-the-Year (such a stupid marketing term, btw) a year or year-and-a-half later.
No, it's not 22% of search results, but 22% of searches made which contain a malicious URL somewhere in the top 100 search results. Like anyone goes all the way through to 100 results.

That is why they bought Admob and then pursued Rovio to make Angry Birds free on Android with those ads. So now, Android is profitable.

Exactly! Selling something at a loss is the EXACT same thing as selling people. I wish more people could see the connection, my friend.
Oh, and you know who else sells things at a loss to make more money on consumables? Hitler. So only buy a Nook if you support Hitler.
Thank you.

You need something. My Xbox360 plays just fine on a regular LCD monitor (HDMI->DVI cable). My brother-in-law hooked up his PS3 to it and got nothing.
I'm a Republican and I wiped my hard drive last week. I'm not doing any time. Gooooo Team!
