What! But the ISP's need to be able to decide how their paying customers use their service!
Outrageous. Next up, these guys will be asking to have their identities blocked by the ISP if *AA send evil letters but carrying no police warrant with them!
The part I don't understand with WoW is why people don't get bored with all the grind before they receive their rewards, especially later on in the game.
Sure, the rewards keep getting better, but still... It's working a lot for usually virtual goods, unless you're in the rare case violating the EULA and selling your services.
When you say "small", do you mean "not fat" or "not tall"?
I think you often talk about weight (Japanese people are more rarely overweight than in western countries), but suddenly you switch to talk about height when it's about riding the bike and your childhood?
To me there's a huge difference here in what effects these two have, and besides, one is largely inherited unless you're malnutritioned, and the other largely environmentally depending.
They've convicted someone recently with only a shit-load of circumstantial evidence In this case they don't seem to have much though. A book on crime investigations and a missing car seat? WTF?
What?? That because less purchases are done in 2007 than 2006, they are just not upgrading every year? Ehh...
A statistic covering the number of purchases in 2007 also obviously covers the number of new purchases due to e.g. 5 year old computers.
And the same goes for 2006.
So, if anything, this shows people don't feel a need to upgrade their PC's as often. Maybe every 6 years is the average now rather than every 4 years.
I can at least agree with that from personal experiences too. I don't feel a need to upgrade as often as in the days of Windows 3.11 growing to Windows 95, then office computers going from Windows NT 4 to Windows 2000, and so on. These days, the major need for e.g. Vista isn't upgrading your 4 year old CPU, but rather ensuring you have the RAM requirement settled, and you often don't need a new PC for that.
I think Elder Scrolls is special for the nice it has found. If they do it a MMO, they'll just be tucked into the crowd of dozens and dozens of high fantasy MMO's.:-( I don't see what would make this game unique in that case. Surely not the setting anyway.
This somehow sounds a lot like Dark Angel to me. High tech stuff involved, engineered humans from a nefarious "company", and Eliza Dushku instead of Jessica Alba.:)
This is a case where it's of utmost importance to see the both sides of the coin clearly: Wikipedia is also growing a more and more important platform for many webmasters to advertise there stuff on.
If there is one side you should not listen to on if web comic X should be put there, it is the web comic writers. Because these are already biased.
No vandal in the world can change that the first sentence in that link is something other than "Slashdot, often abbreviated as/., is a science, science fiction, and technology-related news website owned by SourceForge, Inc."
That's mostly just a technicality with Wikipedia for me.
Said student should not link to the very latest version -- that's just stupid. He/she should instead link to the version of the page that was actually used.
Come on, own up: who's buying these console-priced cards, and why? Because I like to play new games on a PC that can do a lot of other things too, and the game communities I am in mostly play PC games.
Actually, I'm not sure what that "Latin: hydrogenium" means in Veropedia as well as the current article edition of Wikipedia. Is it really about etymology? The word "Origin" is not there. Is it just the word as used in the language Latin?
As for what I can see is listed as actual etymology there -- that would be "hydor" + "genes" in Greek. And then it became hydrogène in French from that, which was the first name of that chemical element in use.
Time to buy some stock in solid state manufacturers, perhaps... I can only foresee one evolutionary change in data storage for common home use, really. The technology is still young, but already showing lots of promise.
Actually, there was a lot of whines going on about Windows XP SP2 failing miserably as people tried to upgrade malware infected systems, or third party patched ones.
That has to be the most stupid of all. How paranoid and/or greedy do you have to be to think that you're losing PROFIT if a user can only use his/her web browser, exactly!?
I mean, 30 minutes is such a short time that if something would go wrong with the activation, you don't even necessarily have time to diagnose the problem before the browser risk shutting down.

Oops, it seems that review missed much of what really sets it apart.
Wikipedia seems better in this case:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Vista_editions_and_pricing
Actually, do you know about Windows Vista Starter Edition?
Even funnier, it's intended for markets like these.
Here's the info: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Windows-Vista-Starter-Edition-in-Images-57484.shtml

And the details of said socks compositions can be explained by string theory?

How many companies out there care for what's "best for the user" if it doesn't involve their products?

Maybe, but I won't stop worrying until they get in trouble for doing it.
So many things could have swayed them.

If true, I'm sure Comcast's customers think this was a great move! :-p
Wait, they do still have customers, right?
I forgot the example I had planned to add...

Nope, just checked, and nothing on WW1 or WW2 at least. Nothing on e.g. Linus Torvalds, Bill Gates, ... either.

Very funny, is this from your own experiences with your blog or something? ;-)
This sure applies to many, but far from all, and many, many blogs are quite popular over time.
But I hope I don't even have to tell that, and that was mostly just a joke on generalizing blogs.
Ubuntu is great, better than Vista in most aspects, when the drivers and lacking hardware support don't get in your way. :-/
Unfortunately, this seem to be a more common occurence than even in Vista, from my experiences anyway.
But this is not really a blame on just Ubuntu, but on hardware support from manufacturers. Not that it matter who it is to blame for the end user.
