94% of corporate PCs are not ready for Vista Premium Edition
1. There is no such thing as a "Vista Premium Edition". 2. If they mean the closest -- "Vista Home Premium Edition", that's not supposed to be a common Vista edition for corporations. 3. Are these talking about meeting recommendations or requirements? I see few corporations being willing to run Aero Glass, and without that, you can easily get by with 512 MB or 1 GB RAM and no special graphics card to speak of (assuming it meets XP requirements).
Yes, hopefully people will realize that this is a completely different problem than the reactors though, and it's a political attack, not a technological one. As long as we have politicians (what's suspected right now) willing to harm people with their resources, I'm not sure taking away reactors will help much. It would harm our societies a lot though.
^-- Btw, maybe I should clarify although I doubt it's necessary to anyone with a brain.:-) With "bogus information" I mean real addresses where people can check their data, but only registered for registration feedback and not monitored otherwise. The problem isn't really your users picking bad ways of registering, but the spam threat and privacy.
Thanks for the heads up slashdot - I've updated my forums' email ban list. It's joined the likes of mailinator.com and its alias domains (fakeinformation.com and sogetthis.com).

If your customers use services to avoid submitting personal information, they will just keep using alternative ones OR actual hosts, but with bogus information. You don't really win anything on doing this.
Yeah, I really like SpamGourmet's twist on this problem...
It's very convenient to use your regular mail client to read your "risky" mail, but still restrict it to e.g 3 mails for account verification.
There's an extra curiosity with it as well -- it can be used to detect which sites sell your address. Set it to cap at 5 mails, and if it keeps trickling in beyond the 1-2 mails, you know exactly which company originally sold it.
Weapons failing may 1) detract from game action immersion, which is often paramount to a game designer, and 2) is considered a special "feature" of the game if it is in. The norm is that it isn't. For all games. This has nothing to do with some form of software patriotism that tries to lie to the user, or whatever the author is trying to imply.
Also, as for enemy combatants, the author needs to learn about how hard it is to implement good AI. No need for and idiotic theories like the one above here either. I still haven't really seen an action game with "human" intelligence in your foes, where it's not scripted.
Also, I'm not American, so that's not the reason I'm claiming this, it's just because it's a flat out troll article trying to find "issues" where there aren't.
By the way, this isn't specific to the US, but games illustrating other war zones share similar behavior. If I play a Nazi in a WW2 game, you can be damn sure most computer-controlled American soldiers are stupid as bricks as well. It has everything to do with implementation details and basically nothing to do with politics.
Make a movie out of Grim Fandango and I'd really be eager to watch it. On the other hand, what kind of content to mainly a 1-on-1 game like Mortal Kombat have, really?
If it suits them they will restrict usage, pull products etc. as it suits them. PR is just that. PR.
Well, but is it even "evil"?
Obviously, they can't let users spread data Google have licensed under special agreements beyond their control. That would put Google in quite some trouble. There are after all organizations owning the maps you're browsing. If they open sourced all their material, Google would perhaps not have as big trouble allowing this. The Google Maps API is a way for them to let their users re-use their service in custom applications while keeping things under their control, something the organizations owning the material have most likely demanded they need to do.
Watching it, I think it's supposed to be done anally, which the girl will always love, and then you'll have your babies...?:-/ I'm still trying to figure out why she should swallow though, but she wants it because it taste good!
I think other factors could be contributing to this, or at least working together with such penalties... US is among the countries that still have death penalties, and I haven't really seen that as a major deterrent compared to countries who lack such penalties.
You have a point, but I guess a problem is in that case that China has shitload of laws that make publicizing certain material "unjust". It's not like China censors things without having their laws backing them up. I think the problem is really their laws supporting what other cultures would call censorship, and the problems bleed into each other a bit.
Who's comparing anything to the US? All the parent claimed was that they're sometimes children, something you can hardly claim is untrue. The point remains that prostitution is more of an underground market with the problems that imply.
I personally think that if any culture should try stop any of those two, it should be prostitution.
Wikipedia says research has been made to see if it could be used to heat spacecraft. Also:
When it is mixed or alloyed with beryllium, polonium can be a neutron source. Other uses include:
* This element has also been used in devices that eliminate static charges in textile mills and other places. However, beta sources are more commonly used and are less dangerous.
* It is used on brushes that remove accumulated dust from photographic films. The polonium used in these brushes is sealed and controlled thus minimizing radiation hazards.
* 210Po has been used as a lightweight heat source to power thermoelectric cells.
I'm unsure if all the above applies to this specific isotope, but further down there's this:
210Po has been used as a lightweight heat source to power thermoelectric cells in artificial satellites. A 210Po heat source was also used in each of the Lunokhod rovers deployed on the surface of the Moon, to keep their internal components warm during the lunar nights.
I don't understand why of all things, they were using Polonium-210 to kill him. Since that's not exactly something you buy over the counter, wouldn't there be "better" ways of killing him by poisoning without drawing as much attention? Only about 100 grams of Polonium, any isotope, is estimated to be produced yearly and it's extremely rare in nature. It's hard to imagine a better way of drawing attention to the government.

Can anybody in the IT industry write code that actually works? Anybody? Anybody at all?
No.
Time for you to join the Amish or put up with it.
if they could evolve to handle lower pressures they could make a good candidate for interstellar life travel.
Radiation may get them though...?
Also, does it come in different colours? Because I know some girls who use Macs. They like their GUI to match their purses.
:-)
:-p
They need to learn how to switch Windows XP visual styles.
This is Windows XP.
Why should they wait? Let them push their products and wait for their revenues if they wish?
Lacking Vista sales is their problem, not ours.

You do know that this was the place where guys with gaping assholes and gay niggers from outer space got popular post topics, right?
Um, are you asking what the difference between people and virtual goods is?
So if I have an extra user on a legit host just for throwaway reasons (like looking for board registration feedback), what should they do then?
I have a hotmail.com address for this and know many others that do; surely they can't block all of those?
They'll never really be able to defeat people not wishing to give away actual contact information, so I wonder why they even bother.

Basically ALL games are like this.

There is currently no other technique in naval architecture that can promise such savings.
But this one does? Promises 20% savings? I wonder if there's a hat ready to be eaten by the author. It's a really bold promise anyway.
Heh, it's clear you're not working for e.g NAVTEQ, TANA, or TeleAtlas. In that case you'd say the opposite.
I don't get the point with all of you protecting Google's actions...
Well, maybe you need to read up on the effects from licensing third party data then.
If you'd work for a company under special agreements to use third party databases, you'd have a much easier time understanding Google's actions.
No, they're of course free to keep violating their terms of use just to see where that brings them.
If it suits them they will restrict usage, pull products etc. as it suits them. PR is just that. PR.
