It appears to me that your example has nothing to do with what north americans will watch, and everything to do with what north american corporations will market.
By example, I would concider any movie with absolutely NO marketing whatsoever, opening in ONLY 36 theatres, grossing 400k, to be a HUGE success. Imagine if people had actually heard about it and had access to go see it at the time.
Maybe because your post was entirely rhetoric and heresay?
Since you declined to even alude to your own personal experience using.NET, and didn't even answer whether you have even ever used it, what do you expect?
Bring something real to the table and then we can discuss it. FUD and hearsay don't count.
Cute, mildly amusing, totally completely.Not true..Not.Net: Um, it exists so rather it.Is..Not on time: Eh? It's here now..Not secure: Care to elaborate with specifics?.Not free: How's that? You don't have a text editor?.Not stable: Blatant lie.
So because the first Zelda was better than subsequent ones, it is not possible for developers to push the limits of a console on subsequent versions of a game?
Nice point, but it has nothing to do with the thread.
Exactly. This could have been us...but now we get to play catch-up.
Thank you so very much, neoconservatives.
Yes, certainly, ethics be damned when we're behind. We've been there before, and are still dealing with the repercussions.
Don't get me wrong, I want to see this as much as the next guy, but there are still more questions than answers, and a lot of ethical issues to address as well, _especially_ with respect to human cloning.
I know Christopher Reeve would like to thank you too...unfortunately he's feeling rather dead at the moment.
Just what are you insinuating here? That neoconservatives killed Christopher Reeve?
Look, advances in medical technology are incredible things. But they are just that, advances. We cannot _expect_ miracles and blame politics when they don't come through in time. Or worse as in this case, use someone elses tragedy to try to further your own agenda.
Will it be George Bush's fault when you die of old age at 82 because he cut research into the fountain of youth all those years ago?
We are human beings, we're fragile, we die. You may want to come to terms with that one of these days.
Yes, but it reduces the security from something you have, something you are, something you know down to simply something you have.
How come all we are talking about here are the communication of the something you have part, and everyone is ignoring the loss of the other 2 critical parts of the secure equation?
To me, this looks like these cards are totally disassociated from the card holder when used. That is most certainly NOT more secure than we have currently.
Why go and get all elitist about something like this that is entirely subjective?
You're talking about windows man, remember? That software that has a dozen different ways of doing every single little thing?
Come by my desktop and try finding what you need using Alt-Tab. Good Luck picking among those 40 windows or so.
Some of us are capable of organizing things in a hierarchical manner rather than just linear.
And, oh looky there, it's an OPTIONAL way to use a browser. By default, when you get IE7, you'll have to change settings to get the behavior you don't like.
Why do people bitch about things that absolutely do not matter to them?
I've got a hunk of cement here that's about the same dimensions as that. Does that mean that MS stole their design from my hunk of cement? Those bastards!
I'm sorry, but I've seen that comparison between the XBox 360 and the Optiplex a few times now, and other than the fact that they are both computing devices and are similarly dimensioned rectangles, I don't see it. Pretty lame comparison if you ask me.
2) Most games these days employ FMV. Don't be a tool. It may not be a critical feature including blue-ray, but it wasn't critical to include a dvd player in the PS2.
I can understand if you don't care and don't want one, but kindly piss off unless you actually have something to say.
Another good one, which we use for our 8 man dev team with numerous branching projects, is Altassian's JIRA.
Highly recommended and reasonably priced as well.
Most of southwestern ontario has too much light polution to be able to see the northern lights except in the most extreme circumstances. I highly doubt the clouds would have made a difference.
The US of A is entirely confined to the northern hemisphere. Arizona and California are only 'south' insofar as their relativity to other places farther north.
They are not, in fact, 'pretty south' at all with respect to the entire globe, which would matter when concidering a space event that affects the entire earth.

Not true. Those 'free passes' turn into paid views for the distributor, covered by the theatre or other promotions.
I think that that was his point, even their classics weren't original works.

Oh noooooo....!
What ever shall I do!
An Anonymous Coward won't hire me in the future!
My life is over!
I'm sorry, I'll go back to my binary editor and hand massage machine code from now on, cause I REALLY NEED YOUR JOB.
Jackass.
Do you actively develop for .NET?
I do and have been for 2 years now.
Been playing with 2.0 since beta2 was released, and am now 1 month into active development using 2.0.
I'm sorry, but you are _completely_ full of shit. So much so that it'd just be feeding a troll to try to counter all of your points.

12 nanometer.

Please think of the trees
Yes, and thus you have every right to be PISSED OFF when some dumb fuck negatively impacts _your_ property value.
See how that strings together into the original point?
Language is what we make it.
Yes, because it was greed and lust that drove us to figure out how to control fire, build shelters, farm...
Who's holding the gun to your head?
Seriously, I am REALLY sick of hearing this crap on this thread.
Don't like TV? Don't partake then.

Am I missing something or is everybody else?
So, you wear your pants like This Guy then? Whatever floats your boat man.
Why?
Because we aren't all _you_.

Maybe you don't agree, but listen up fanboyz: That wasn't a troll, that was opinion.
Can't tell the difference? Maybe you should head back to JK until you can learn to play nice.
1) Development is not distribution.
2) Most games these days employ FMV. Don't be a tool. It may not be a critical feature including blue-ray, but it wasn't critical to include a dvd player in the PS2.
I can understand if you don't care and don't want one, but kindly piss off unless you actually have something to say.
And if you look at the new one, it's really not very different at all from the existing ones.
The only thing that really seems to have changed are the 'arms' or whatever.
I don't think judgement can be passed on the controller until it's been tried in person.

Short drive? So you mean a couple of hours then?
