He means he was produced in an Oracle farm, and never saw the light of day.//Not that Oracle isn't good, its just can be too much for the job when the job is something under a 10 million dollar budget.
I'm betting they go with a computer/human pair system. If it matches close to 100% to a known video treat it as if it were the known video. If it matches greater than 50% have a human look at it. If it matches less keep it and wait for a user to flag it. Realistically most youtube videos are near carbon copies of other videos on youtube already. This would greatly decrease dups at least.
FSU now plays a flat fee of $100 per computer purchased and gets office windows, and calls and all the updrades in perpetuaty. Meaning upgrading to Vista for example will be free, same with Office 2007. I'm still not upgrading either in our grant office dispite being covered. Employees also get up to 2 copies each (of windows of office) for home use for 19.95 per license.
Manufacturing nano particle in mass has been going on for a few years now. Shouldn't be hard to use some of these processes to make moon dust. Sure it won't have the same randomness possibly, but it shouldn't be too hard, just an issue of scale. How much does NASA really want this, are they willing to buy enough to fund a factory.
Most stores put their kiosk behind glass where you can't press a reset button without opening the glass with a key. Yea maybe a few major city retailers installed it right. But I've never seen it that way.
WTF? Yes this issue is not discussed in the article, but it has been discussed many other places. And no your plane isn't going to crash. By millions I mean over the entire country there are millions of people in flight at the same time. Yea, maybe my estimate was high, but it would still be a task on the cellphone towers.
To those confused, the real problem with cell phone use on airplanes is that you are traveling so fast that you are switching towers once every minute or so. One person is fine, millions doing it (which is what would happen if legal) would be a HUGE strain on cell phone networks. Airlines are installing cellphone tower equipment into their plane to eliminate this problem.
ebay express worked like half.com or amazon where you actually pay ebay directly they then pay the seller. This allows you to purchase multiple buy-it now items through a "cart" like system and pay once.
God, you do realize most of the people posting on paypal sucks are scammers that got caught by paypal. Paypal charges the seller a percent of every sale as an insurance policy. They use this money to pay back people who got frauded, they then are left to collect from the person, which they can't always do. There is very little reason to ever reverse a charge to paypal from visa, and if you do it leaves paypal no proper means of collecting from the seller.
Of course you still CAN have visa reverse the charges, just don't expect paypal to want to do business with you again.
I only pop in occasionally to see how much people are getting gouged on the latest consoles.
Don't worry the PS3 market on ebay has already imploded. Yesterday in just 5 minutes of looking I saw an auction end for $600+25shipping for a $599 PS3 plus two games. HAHA:) People are dumping them for a loss because no one is buying. Most auctions end with reserve not met though.
You also have to consider the fact that the patents are an encouragement to sit on a drug that has already been developed and wait till the patent expires before releasing newer potentially better versions. The newer versions would come out faster and more often if the patent didn't last as long. Either way arguing that INCREASING monopoly powers is a good thing economically is silly.
While this info is meaningless now. The retail box of CS was actually useful. The key that it came with was a perfectly valid HL key. This of course was only useful when you snagged it from some unsuspecting friend who decided to chunk it to buy the regular HL.:)
Let me make this simple. If you edit a game I ALREADY bought, in order for you to generate future revenue from it without my approval (and if I don't approve I lose the game I paid for) I will be upset.
Yea, I didn't mean I would mind paying for it. Just the typical pay for it seems to be heavily DRM loaded for $5. This would especially be true if its intended to be shared on p2p meaning your payment would only register it on one device.
Yea, but they sued under the DMCA. These guys would have sued under the DMCA probably had it not been for that case. So they are trying a unique approach and calling it a trademark issue. By court standards the previous case would have little precedent on this one (though I'm sure it will be mentioned).
Its not about confusing the customer in this case its about confusing the product. Lets my GM car has some sorta scanner on it that looks for the GM logo on every part installed. Of course in the car example you would be violating the trademark, but lets say I do some mumbo jumbo that makes it visually look to a human eye to not look anything like the GM logo. The fact that I'm using the GM logo at all is the issue then.. Is it legal to use another companies logo on your product even if the customer never sees that logo.
:) But its government control in a government controlled country such as China! If this HAPPENDS to benefit us through the simple effect on manufacturing cost all the better!;)

I meant CALs not calls, sorry strange typo.

Actually if you havn't noticed most all hospitals now let you use your phone in most areas.
You cought me.
:)
I've never actually bought the game
Played it at LAN parties any whatnot, but it just never appealed to me very much.

That is all class.

You do realize that his will be CONFIGURABLE. There is no reason MS should have to ask an IT department for a configurable option.

Well many people bought HL2 mainly for CS
I think thats the point.
You work for an ad agency don't you?
Let me make this simple. If you edit a game I ALREADY bought, in order for you to generate future revenue from it without my approval (and if I don't approve I lose the game I paid for) I will be upset.
Clear enough?
With the simple laws of supply they should make Counter-Strike free then it would only increase their ad counts.
Yea, I didn't mean I would mind paying for it. Just the typical pay for it seems to be heavily DRM loaded for $5. This would especially be true if its intended to be shared on p2p meaning your payment would only register it on one device.
Article implies there might be a charge for these downloads (I'm guessing an open P2P but you need to buy a key to watch it). That would suck..

I don't think they are. But you're not going to get anything but a mouse cursor from within the browser. Not the same thing at all.
