Possibly, but remember Nintendo is a Japanese company. Their previous consoles and handhelds were released in Japan first, Japan and America may be released at the same time, but I seriously doupt it would be released last. I get your point though.
Not nessesarily though I definatly think a new protocol instead of http needs to be looked at. But there is no reason to use another client (besides the obvious need to upgrade said client to support this new protocol). There would be a push to use something similar to x-window protocol, but this is major overkill and would be much harder to secure (serverwise) than what we have now. I guess the crux is, do you want a general computing network application protocol (aka x-win) or individual website that are designed for very specific functionality. I think the second is really preferable.
Yes different product. But they would be stupid to overlook the problems MS faced with their worldwide launch. You can learn many things from the failures of your competitors.
No, its more of an issue of supply and demand. Say the factories can only pump out 6 million consoles by launch date. They can sell it in one country and meet demand or they can go for a worldwide launch and totally piss off many people that can't buy one. Kinda like what happend to the 360 when it took months for supply to catch up with demand. Game translation is an issue though, but its small one. More of an issue is the supply part. As well as having to deal with retailers across the globe, as well as having support lines avaiable with speakers of all the languages you intend to ship to.
What would work best is pressure to use a.xx domain and.com domain where the.com redirects to the.xxx. The porn companies have worked hard on their brandname and image. They arn't going to give up a.com without a fight, but a simple redirect would allow the.xxx filters to still work while retaining the.com
Keep ind mind, that some items will require multiple fasteners to operate at the same time. Exactly, you might get one unfastend but if there is some sort of "I am unfasted" signal produced, you wouldn't be able to hack all the fasteners before you are discovered.
I didn't believe you at first. But running the numbers and your right. At 4.5GB per hour thats 1.28MB/s. Considering the overhead of the average line, I'd have to say you are right... Though.. If the DVD was hosted from the ISPs servers you could get away with 1.5MB/s but it would be pushing it.
Admittingly yes, the average consumer does not need more then 1.5Mbs as you simply are not going to be viewing more content than that at any one time. Gamers obviously want more, as do downloaders. I'm still waiting for decent upload speed from anybody. Some commerical DSL providers provide decent upload speed, while comcasts commerical services cap out at 286K upload.
Can't wait for the day. Finally people would wake up to the tactics of the media companies. Hell you'd even have the ALCU screaming about it being discriminatory and such:)
2) lower the cost of the theater to license the movie. From what I understand only the second run theators pay a license fee. For the first runs the studio sets the ticket price and the movie theator only gets what they charge over that price. Either way its way too high. But eventually the economics of having to compete with HD home systems will lower ticket prices (or atleast stall their inflation)
I actually didn't forget it, just didn't put in my real anniversary, or maybe I put it in the wrong format (according to her it gave her a freeform text field) I don't remember. Either way she tried several times and couldn't match what I put in.
But they can't strap you into your chair. Do what I do, start the movie, well before you want to start watching, pause when actual movie starts. You can make popcorn or even eat dinner while you wait to get to the pause point.
Movie theaters are going away. Movie theators arn't going away. The dollar theator in my town is constantly sold out with lines around the block. They even are renovating and generally cleaner than the expensive theators. Oh you mean the overprices theator model is dying. Of course, it simply can't compete.
Well the obvious problem would be that the phisher could use your login name and obtain the site key themselves.. Though this isn't actually a problem, because before it shows you a sitekey it also has to obtain a security cookie from your browser, if it doesn't see the cookie it says oh your on a computer I've never seen before. And ask you random questions from a list you setup such as mothers madien name, anniversary etc. I got in trouble for that second one as I didn't put in my real aniversary, and one time my wife tried to login from her work....
But I ask, if you know your next Legend of Zelda is going to sell millions, why launch it with a $60 price tag? Are you serious?? that $60 game nets nintendo about $15 while that $30 game might net nintendo $5. $15*2mill=30million $5*4mill (assuming they will sell twice the game which is unlikly) = $20mill if you where an investor which would you want. In all seriousness though most games would sell very few copies at $60 but Zelda would easily sell almost as many as it would sell at $30.
True, it was a great ad, so good infact I will definatly look into snapper when I make my next lawn purchase. Because I'm tired of buying cheap mowers every few years.
Exactly, I'm sure it will be very similar to what you see on the Xbox and Xbox360 now. Many small downloadable mini-games. But full games will still be packaged for the forseable future.
You would see that it depends upon your architeture. For example when running on UltraSpac you pay for one processor for every 4 cores you have. AMD/Intel multicore you pay for every 2 cores you have. Either way they would have to sit down and devise a per processor license for you. Though you can always purchase per user instead of per processor. This would probably be the best route if your runnings hundreds or thousands of processors.
I laughed pretty hard too.. And I actually watch him sometimes (though sometimes he gets on my nerves, enough with the missing blond girls and child molesters). But President?? Bwahhaha. And we've all done an offtopic comment to the top rating posting just to get it up there, but this had absolutly nothign to do with anything...
Ok after reading your link I see there is a difference in terminology from what I understood. Currently a Virus is a cell that has been infected by a "virion" The virion is not alive, but the Virus is. I can definatly agree with that. Kinda like how my SO isn't a computer, but how a computer with an OS is a totally different beast beholden to the OS.
Further, it is pretty generally agreed that viruses have evolved from more complex intracellular parasites (and there are many of those, and none of them are considered not to be alive).
Good point but it didn't so much evolve from the parasite as it was created by the parasite as an aid. Think of this the same way as me creating a robot to help me get laid!:)
I just can't see a packet containing programming information as life. Its definatly part of the cycle of life, maybe we could consider it a life weapon.

The idea isn't just ajax. Its more of an idea of dynamic interactive application like websites, using whatever methods, currently ajax is popular.

Your the only one that caught that. I meant to say "Try Safari".

HAHA that should have read OS not SO. My Significant Other isn't a computer.
