Do you all really think that Mr. Scott is going to pre/se-quel Blade Runner for the sake of glory? Mr. Scott knows that the new movie won't bring him any glory, just bad critics. Whatever Mr. Scott will do, that won't even compare to Blade Runner. No actor will sustain the comparison with Ford, Hauer, Young or Hannah and company. Yes, (real) CGI and 3D will make it better looking, 16 channel extra-surround will make it sound better. But will it be comparable to the real Blade Runner movie (whatever cut you choose)? No way as far as the contents of the movie itself. But you can bet it will be an economic success. And that's all matters nowadays. Please, Mr. Scott, don't do it. Otherwise you'll be retired!

I think that hardly that moron^H^H^H^H^Htechie will have enough resources to compensate his former employer for damages.

While Google may control the lion's share of the search market, queries made through Microsoft's Bing search engine lead users to click on a Web page at a significantly higher rate than queries made through Google, according to data released Thursday. The success rate for Bing searches in the U.S. in July was 80.04%, compared to 67.56% for Google, according to Experian Hitwise. The market watcher defines "success rate" as the percentage of search queries that result in a visit to a website.
Okay, cowboy. I'll give you the explaination. It's "instant search".
The definition is completely flawed, probably it's intentionally flawed. In order to give Bing better results.

Please, define "the success rate for a search engine"". I'm so curious. Provided that it could make any sense, I thought that it was "0" (zarro) if you answer "no page found" and "1" (uno) otherwise.
Like in searching (please type with quotes) "alberocomix". Both answers with "zarro pages found".
Mut maybe I'm too far from this search engine marketing stuff to understand.
While nowadays it makes sense to think about "always on" connections, having this as a requirement for games DRM is too much.
Of course they want to be able to shut your game down at any time (in case of illegal copies or expired subscriptions) and that's the only way to do it.
But probably, a few changes in the sales model would achieve the same results.

Quite simple for the 6th largest country with only the 233rd population density!
Good luck!

If they were able, why didn't they put proper version numbering?
If they were not, why are they still alive?
Would you run on a Chevy Avalanche "21st century"? Or would you like to know whether it's 2001 or 2006?
The choice is quite interesting ... Opera 11 dates back to 16.12.2010 and Safari 5 to 17.6.2010.
Mozilla Firefox v4 entered the "end of life" on May 25, 2011.
Chrome 12 dates back to 07.06.2011, but that's v12.0.742.
Without proper version numbers all those tests are at least dubious.
It took that long for a standard update.
Having a nee standard every few years is not good, that's clear.
But spending 8 years to refine/define one sounds quite a lot in the 21st century.
What can be more creative than to put a bottle of c*k* on a table of the Mos Eisley Cantina?
Cool!
I think this's a typo. It'd read "sex". Connection of sex sounds much better.
not less than 5 people in order to push Berlusconi away from me?
I need a longer, much longer separation from him as I have two teen daughters.
They suddenly uncovered the supersecret Google project for Android. All with a single word!
Looks like, smells like, sounds like.
I bet it is.
Cracker? Hacker?
Do you have an idea on what CyanogenMod actually is?
And thanks for all the mods.
I fear that we'll losethe best Android mod even in a few weeks.
And that Samsung will finally get a real Android mod^H^H^Hdistribution!
How many searches are done whyle typing a single search in Google?

Okay, cowboy. I'll give you the explaination. It's "instant search".
The definition is completely flawed, probably it's intentionally flawed. In order to give Bing better results.
And how does "fuzzy logics" apply to "success rate"?
Please, define "the success rate for a search engine"". I'm so curious.
Provided that it could make any sense, I thought that it was "0" (zarro) if you answer "no page found" and "1" (uno) otherwise.

Yes, you can!
This is the real beauty of the 5150!
2 shifts, 2 controls, 2 alts, 2 enters, 2 +s, 2-s and twice the 10 digits keys.
That amusing, fantastic, brain damaged hardware limit to 640 KB, even on 286s and 386s.
For the glory or Quarterdeck QEMM 386
in order to audit your own systems?
Cool, but rather complex for an audit!
Maybe Facebook filed a patent application for "online games in a social network site". As well as a number of other patents.
