What? John said he will port Doom 3 to XBox... Yet he says the 9700 is his new card of choice... I see something horribly wrong here.

What you are seeing is John wanting to port to a lower spec, PC like platform while prefering to work with a high end card. What's wrong with that? He probably won't do the porting himself anyway.

Either he has gone crazy, or (more likely) is accepting bribes from microsoft

Conspiration theory bullsh*t.

I'm tired of that bullshit.

Can you or anyone else back up that claim with any kind of verifiable information?

Re:Public Utilities owned by the people

On: Slashback: Solidarity, Friction, Dreams

The long answer to "could a utility be held in the public domain?" is no

Well, when your public utility sells to the retail market at $0.06/kWh and still manage to make profits, some of which get put back into the government general fund, then the short answer is a clear and loud YES!

Trust me, I'm an economist..

That's like saying "Trust me, I know Tarot".

You might be interested in looking at this: Comparison of Electricity Prices in Major North American Cities (pdf). It's self congratulatory but it contains interesting numbers.
