As the other guys said, the article sucked, but actually when I wrote that comment, I guess the site was broken, because going to the articles section sent me to the main page.
Ok is it just me or does www.asimovlaws.com contain no real information. All I see are a bunch of press releases, but not actual arguments as to the problem with the 3 laws as they promise.
I don't know I've meet some cheap ass millionairs. Who are smart enough not to buy the $2.00 drink at the resturant and get water instead. While if you suggest to a poor person that they could save a lot of their money that way, they tend to think that saving $2.00 would be a waste of their time.
but the problem is that Microsoft keeps the large majority of their reserves as cash.
Where have you heard this? Either way as long as they atleast keep it in a bank, its getting spread around as investments. I seriously don't believe microsoft has more than a few million in actual cash. There just isn't enough printed money to make that very feasible without really hurting the rest of the economy.
Firstly, The rich are already spending a lot of money. Actually I think it helps the small buisness the most, which trickle down to the poor quite easily. My father used to own a small shop, his cost per employee were twice that of wages, meaning if he paid his employees 8 dollars an hour, we would be spending 8 more dollars and hour on taxes and workers comp insurance.
Either way the point is, that he wanted to pay his employees more than 8 dollars an hour and would have if he could have afforded to, but it simply wasn't possible considering how much was going out in taxes.
Either way I agree that the McDonalds of the world arn't going to pay more than minimum wage unless they have to, but many buisness would if they could. Also you still have the trickle down on what the very rich spend, which as you said doesn't all go locally. But if you consider how much money gets waisted in administrating welfare and whatnot, I don't think the difference is very much. Also lower taxes on making goods encourages buisnesses to produce more goods, therefor increasing GNP, and there is a very high statistical correlation to GNP/population and overall standard of living.
I believe descents was better, though I think it did have limits in terms of textures and polygons. While Descent seems to have better lighting and handling of the 3d environment. It definatly felt lower polygon, but I'm not quite sure. I know the enemies were definatly blockier.
Dude, this is the way that id has been releasing its news for a long time (sence finger servers were the way to go). Its just a tradition thingy, and a LOT quicker than bothering putting up a website. These guys have better things to do than promotion, thats activisions job.
Yea, but what if it lands on the then during contruction freedom tower. Would we have to go after our terroist scientist for trying to kill us all. But seriously the chance of it landing on a populated area is definatly there. Though as its would more likly crumble into small bits considerig its orbit and that its not a very dense object. We really have little to worry about.
I believe it takes up your internet bandwidth some. Try using as much of that 3.5mbps then start a video on demand. I'd be willing to bet your downloads will start to crawl.
Well mozilla was the first with blocking technology. Microsoft turned around and said, hey we can do that to, but instead of a little thingy in the corner that lets you know something is blocked, why not a whole taskbar. Mozilla in turn said, you know thats a good idea. I really don't think someone should be embarrased to use superior ideas just because they were invented at Microsoft. Pretty shallow thinking really.
What gets me, is with modern batteries and cpu sizes newton could be all these things and more. I don't see why apple couldn't make a new improved version right now, and smash the PDA market. Or are they planning on this? Of course the fear is they will, but it won't equal the newton in functionality, and will be laughed at, even if it is better than the pilot.
OTOH, this has happened many times before so it might be very cool after all. Oh the order of once every half million years possibly thought to be one cause of the last ice age. Though maybe not, one really can't accuratly predict what the consequences will be. Thankfully I should be dead by this time.
And, I'm probably not the only one who "shivers", when reading, "... almost a carbon copy of the new Internet Explorer Information Bar..."
There's no way to defend that.
So whats so wrong with it, (I am assuming you have seen the new information bar? its kinda like a status bar that appears ontop as it is needed, much like the appear as needed tabbar, that states when downloads and popups etc get blocked)
Microwaves are pretty easy to stop, so you only need a single collector dish, and you could be right above or bellow said dish (depending weither the power was comming from earth or space) and not have to worry about being cooked.
We lead in innovation in most areas where we compete, and where we do lag - like search and online music distribution - rest assured that the race to innovate has just begun and we will pull ahead.
Wow they are tipping their hand seriously on this one. So their next big ventures are search and online music. Now call me sceptical but innovate is hardly what I think they are planning to do.
Dude, the fetus has the general apperance and structure of a human after just a few weeks. To say it doesn't exist is just silly. Now if you are saying its not definatly a viable baby yet, there is some argument, but its still rather silly. I could say this new born child only has a chance of becoming an adult so lets not give him any rights.
suprisingly for me, everytime I show someone tabbed browsing they don't seem to be impressed. I'm guessing these people are so used to browsing the old way and they don't use open in new window ever, so its just such a foreign idea. Or am I showing them the wrong way. I show it by bringing up a page with several links, and set the settings to open in background and middle click. Then I middle click on several items in a list of links.
And just to make sure all of our eggs in one basket, let's drop support for any of the team-based competition games set in WWII even if they do seem to be kind of popular right now.
Umm this is "QuakeCon" the BYOC section can have any game the tournaments generally only have select ID games, last year they did include RTCW, but this year its just Quake3 and Doom3. Thats their call really, you arn't paying to go. And honestly I really would think it would be selling out to invclude some popular WWII game for attendance.

Ok, seriously you make it sound as if its a daily thing that there is a post concerning TMBG, its not like they are SCO or anything.

If CNN was announcing headlines in gopher 10 years ago, yes, I would hope they would continue. That would be kinda cool, but they wern't.

Article states they had to put in on a dual-layer DVD to fit all the content. So you can be it has gourangas.
I thought GTA3 did return you to the garage where you last saved when you died.
Anyways how is loading your last save a "permanent consequence."
OTOH, this has happened many times before so it might be very cool after all.

So why then are the large popular games, aka the ones most pirated, obtaining revenues that exceed that of hollywood movies.

But whats truly sad, is that it works.
Sad thing about the article was the guy was sure the courts would crush MS, hell I was sure too. Oh well sigh.
