Square saved sony once, but don't look for the same miracle twice. Final Fantasy 7 was a big draw for the PSX, but FFX:2 has ben a large detriment to fans. Before, they'd have been willing to switch to another system see a new game, but people like my roommate were rather pissed off at the level of emasculation required to complete ffx2. Combine this with your theory of releasing old games rather than new ones, and you'll that they've become marginal. Are you really looking forward to playing a transgender sailor in the world of Ivalice?
Moreover, Square already brought the FF series to the WonderSwan, but it too was fated to fall. Remarkably, the PSP looks like a Wonderswan ultra. When I look at the PSP, I'm supposed to think "ps2 in my hands." I no longer trust Sony. If you went by the numbers released by the manufacturers, then the PS2 is like 4 times better than the Gamecube, which is a hard sell. Sony has a history of inflated specs and a propensity to blame the difference on programming error. When you can't actually do an Gran Tourismo endurance race on one charge, expect to hear blame on Digital Polyphony. But maybe playstation purchasers are okay with lowered expectations, maybe they're fine with stealth espionage card games.
There's a website called dslinux.com, but that IS a joke. They dont think so, but they're not exactly geniuses there. Maybe you could join and apply large doses of clue to the team.
As long as they are only used in the event of a crash and only at your option. I say that above all else because that box is your property, crash or no crash.
Fortunately, you are not the King of the World. Discovery compels a party to bring forward specific evidence relevant to a trial. Its not difficult to obtain a subpoena or a warrant for this device. Without this, Microsoft would be untouchable in its business practices. Without the memos and like to demonstrate a willingness to destroy competition in as many ways as possible, they wouldn't even be a convicted monopoly, even if defacto.
Thats his head that went through the rear passenger side window. I can't imagine that being a simple and painless task, breaking a window like that.
But props for the guy for not putting both hands on the wheel when he realized he was in trouble. It takes a special brand of redneck to accomplish that. Even more bonus points for what appears to be a Dale Earnhart shirt.
I'm sure there will be plenty of people already in international businesses ready to point out to their bosses that Russian can expand their current production methods without investing in ANY reduction technologies.
Also, American car manufacturers haven't been all over this hybrid shit. They're liscining Toyota's work in small numbers so nobody in Congress puts blame on them. I dont know WHY this is, but its simple enough to verifiy that indeed, the new hybrid SUV is using the same patents and technology as the Prius.
Perhaps my personal situation adds a large bias, but it irks me that everyone's bemoaning the lack of qualified professionals. There's nobody with enough linux experience in the workplace, they say. There's not enough people with real experience in embedded systems who want to live in the midwet, they say.
Well, suck it up. If you can't find talent or experience, its because your company hasn't been promoting it from within. Anyone with more than five years experience with GIS likely owns their own business, competing with yours. Face it, the perfect candidate already has your software written for you. Five years ago, linux was a joke. Insurance agencies weren't about to deploy 2.4.2 on their mainframes.
Maybe companies should focus on training and employee development rather than let a position go unfilled for lack of candidates with 3+ years exp?
In the america vs iraq example, who's law? Kant's theoretical law of democracy through war and peace, or the Islamic law that the insurgents are fighting for? Kant disagreed with a state mandated religion, and I'm pretty sure Islamic law isn't subject to the whims of the people.
While not everybody believes in the prophets of RMS and ESR, the matter is that art isn't something you can acuqire simply by reading a book. There's good books out there on the subject, but if you want to make something professional, like what the asker wants, it takes years of practice.
If you wanted to be inflammatory about it, you'd could say it takes time, just like it did to build gcc and Hurd.
And just who decided he was King?

So the major gain of BTX is heat savings. Can we translate this into a meaningful improvement to homebuilt PVRs like MythTV? The improved design should mean you can run a faster CPU or use quieter fans. Especially for a device that you might like to keep 'on' at all times, I'd imagine that a quiter fan would be a nice win for those playing at home.
Anyone planning on picking one up and trying it out?
All the strings prove is that they're using something based on Astrisk. It could be that they've liscenced the entire software suite a different way from the copyright holder.
If anyone's to blame, it might be Digium for not building and enforcing a branding on their non-GPL'd customers. If a company is using Digium software, it's in Digium's best interests to require some form of advertisement on the product reguarding that, similar to Intel Inside. It protects their clients, builds brand, and if the brand is strong enough, gives a statement of quality.
Here's the joke, you're not making 200k at EA. Because your job is desired within the geek community ("I wanna make games for a living!") you get the benefit of a lower salary and longer workdays. Of course, this doesn't sit well with family minded individuals, which is part of why they're shooting for 75 percent college grads.
22 percent of the workforce is female. This is both an accomplishment and a hinderance. Its pretty obvious that EA's policy is family unfriendly. Why else would they move toward new college grads, with a stated quota? I wonder what happens to a member of the 22 percent who becomes pregnant.
Given the hours they work and the length of crunch time, I'd have to say his statements are accurate. No other company could possibly do this without armed revolts. And yet EA does it time and again, even does okay introducing it to the companies it buys. They're slave drivers, but they're extraordinarily good at it.
Thats stupid. Every stats program I know of uses steam/won ids. Changing your name won't fix it, and you can change your id without reconnecting. That's banned anyways, in theory.
Looks like there's a lot of PVR type jobs on hotlinuxjobs. Commercially speaking, Linux is a new product; you simply can't find people with 3 years experience writing embedded software for Linux, and if you can, they WILL cost every bit they're worth, reguardless of nationality. Face it, you'll have to resort to training new grads. And probably a technical hiring staff to sift through the reams of paper it will take to find the qualified guys (I do like to think I'm a qualified guy).
If you're looking for a linux admin to do the same sit on your ass for a meager salary job as a windows admin, it will be difficult to find someone. Especially if you're looking for someone local, and your business isn't in Finland or Silicon Valley. The bubble may have burst, but that doesn't mean a swath of talent is going to suddenly arise in technologies that didnt exist 15 years ago.
For the same reason the ps2 is backwards compatible: I can sell the old one and only have to carry the new one around. Fortunately for me, I've already exhausted the DMG games, and the end is near for the GBA. The most appealing GBA games would be the ones that need what the DS is lacking -- link support. It would be great to play Advance Wars with someone who doesn't have a DS, but the link port has been removed in favor of new technology.
This is why Nintendo says its not a replacement for the gameboy. It doesn't look or sound true, but there is some confirming evidence. The DS is missing the term "gameboy," one of Nintendo's most enduring brands (it's survived the Politically Correct movement, after all). If its a third tier of gaming, they're killing off the second tier. There's no gameboy successor in the wait. If the DS takes off, GBA games will wane in scope and sales, and ultimately, new titles. Whether trading one tier for another is the same as a next generation, you can decide.
Fortunately, you don't live forever. You can actually withdraw a portion of that principle each month as well, and live decently for a million, or less.
Aside from being paid in risk, and listing your bonus as a capital gain, options aren't terribly great. Why not get paid in actual stock?
If you worked for Microsoft, would you rather have options or stock when they pay out an unprecedentedly huge dividend? The answer is stock. Not to mention that options dont have voting rights, etc. In my line of work, I'd rather be paid for performance than marginal increases in performance.
I'm not entirely sure that's accurate. Portable developers do like to work on the cheap, and battery management works against that, but the DS may land closer to the Virtual Boy than the SP. If Nintendo DS has a hands down lead, what launch title are you looking forward to?
Don't underestimate the power of innovation to scare off consumers.
I hear about open source music, open source law, and now open source politics. Is the term "open source" now so divorced from meaning that it can be so liberally applied?
Lets take the content of the article: there's this thing called the Internet. Groups not directly tied but heavily biased form use the Internet as a tool. Sounds like "Grassroots with the Internet," if you truly need to make such a distinction.
I thought that RMS was overly pedantic when he made clear his distinction between Open Source and Free, but I'll willingly side with him if it will stem the tide of buzzwords. Viva le Free Software.
Handicap accessable. You'll never get past the old people lobbists if it can't provide a screen for the visually impaired.
Also, I'd prefer a cleartext ballot printed out and kept by the precinct. It prevents vote buying without getting in the way of auditing. The key problem of voting is balancing anonymity with accountability. These two forces are akin to matter and antimatter. They can be reconciled, the money would be better spent on a billion dollar fusion reactor.

Ask the people who throw rocks at the US embassy and soldiers stationed there. Sometimes the rocks are bullets or bombs.
