But all they need to do is add another cell and the PS3 will scale rapidly. Remember that now that the PS3 has hit SETI it has doubled its capacity. All the PS3 needs is for the developers to unlock it for it to move forward.
I think you are right about the Wii HD or the Wiii as I'd call it. Minor advancement in power paid for by buckets of cash would take the Wii higher at a brisk pace.
From what I've seen of the coming year Bioshock will own Halo3 and GTAIV. System Shock is one of the best games of all time and something new rather than another sequel.
Only silght less well know then never get involved in a land war in Asia is NEVER go in against IBM when a patent is on the line.
a. Their lawerys are a lot fucking meaner
b. They have enough patents out their to extract your scrotum through your nose via a patented process which they will then charge you for.
p.s. GWB should have known about the first part as well.
BULLSHIT. Film, Music & Lit are barely moving at all. I see one original work on film ever 3 to 5 years. Everything else is a painful remake of a remake ad infinitum. Music is even fucking worse. There is a new type of material maybe every 25 years. Lit? Heaven help us but in order to be original is has to be almost unreadable, abstract, or obtuse. Have you ever read Ulysses? Fuck me running but you either have no radar for creativity or you are an apologist.
Creativity is one of the rarest things on the planet. Everyone tells me how creative I am but I know that almost nothing I have made in my life is anything but an evolution of someone else's idea. My most creative work by far in integrating good ideas from separate areas to solve no linear problems but that is still not the creation of a new idea. To get a Ph.d you basically have to prove that you had an original thought and that a pretty loose definition. I would be flabbergasted if there are more than a million people on the planet with any real creativity at all and most people think that they are barking fucking nuts.
The Clinton accusation was probably just that, some useless words to make him look good. But who fucking cares what a polotician says. I care what they do.
This is why the states who voted for Bush all have a mean IQ under 100, they are too fucking stupid to realize that the result is important, not the message. Bush is pro-life but abortions have gone up under his tenure. Bush is anti-nation building but that's what he's doing. Bush is small government but he's increased the size of government more than anyone in recent history.
And don't tell me that 2000 people dieing has changed the world or anything so fucking stupid. I'd rather 2000 us citizens died every day for their country than let a fascist like Bush subvert the U.S. Constitution. He's not sworn to protect our lives, that's not his job, he's sworn to protect the document. You don't burn the constitution to keep warm on a cold winter's night.
Anyone remember the Powell Doctrine? Nope? Well it was designed to meet this lady's stated points for sucess and it served us well from Vietnam till Iraq. Then a Bunch of draft dodging Dixiecrats and Nixon era hawks ignored those lessons in a classic case of groupthink and now we are back in Vietnam.
I think we should impose a punitive tax on anyone who contributed to the Republican party during the last 6 years equal to the cost of the war.
"new frontier in warfare style" that's sarcasim for sure. This is a totaly generic occupation of hostile locals.
The new frontier is that we are using our taxes to train a bunch of assholes how to fight the US army. Did you see Al Jazera's "Chariots of God"? It was about how Hezbulla leaned to beat the Isreali tanks. Same problem in Iraq. The insurgents we don't kill are by natural selection the ones who we need to be worried about, the ones who can excape us and or kill us. Then off they go to Afganistan or Pakistan or the mountains in between and teach what they know to other bad people.
Berkshire Hathaway is looking for something to do with thier money this might be a good bet. My favorite quote from the after the meeting meeting was a guy describing the hose of money turning into a pipe of money in the last few years. Warren Buffet might be a good choice. He is totaly divorced from the primadonna complex and would just find the most profitable delivery method. Which in an economic system that has no real scarcity seems to be low cost high volume. Either that or a 20 disk Blue Ray set will all of one label's music on it.
We boycott the recoding indutry untill they are bankrupt. Once the companies are in liquidation we pool our resources, by up the IP, and sell it back to the artists who can then publish it in the format they want on the web. We make a profit, the artists get their art back, and a whole bunch of asshole have to look for new work.
In addition what is your oppertunity cost for that?
Or $185 earning 7% compunded annualy is $259 which in 5 years would buy you something 7.5 times faster than a 8800 GTX. Wow NPV and Moores law together forever!
I'm currently in the Middle East and my wife has a Nokia e61 that hasn't been crippled by some slack jawed cell phone company exec. I have been running pbxes.org with Gizmo project for sip Voip goodness. Although since I updated the phone that setup has not worked and I have not tried to figure out why. In the meantime Fring came out and now she can just use Skype on the phone. Its rough sometimes but it works. The sip was always fantastic. Now if I could just get her stupid employers to get off the goddamn browser based authentication life would be simple.
Adding wifi to phones means the end of of paying for cell/mobile phone service in the home and even in wireless MANs. Lots of phones have SD varients. There are two SD cards on the market already that have wifi and one apparently has memory as well. Although they are not supported by the treo unless you hack it. Go Shadowmite go.
It doesn't sound as good. Plus 90% of the non Slashdot.org world doesn't know the difference between the vulgate and the vomatorium anyway so just use the phrase as "total dumbshit" detector, if theyc orrect you assume that they can place the U.S. on a map and identify their congressman.
Neither you nor any other human has ever proven through any form of logic or philosophy that reality is not subjective; period, full stop. So how can you prove that any moment of existence is anything but a instant with nothing preceding it or following it. Believing the world is real and that one thing follows another is no different than believing the aliens came down and fucked the monkeys or that Jesus rose from the grave. Not that it doesn't help with daily life to buy into it (I do) but when you get to the level of navel gazing needed for teleportation discussion you got to face the navel of all navels. Either that or be a Taoist.
Or join my new religion. Now that S. Hawkins agrees that the whole universe is a computer and that data can escape from a black hole I know how god functions. The whole universe is the computer that allows god to be omni-present. Suck on that jackasses I just figured out the answer to life the universe and everything.
Meta analysis of the above material indicates the best alternative to Photoshop is an old version. They also have a 30 or 15 day trial. You also asked about web design.
I've been working with Qatari kids with learning disabilities, teaching IT esp. web design. If you can imagine dyslexic, ADD, multi-millionaire teenagers who have had maid feed them until they were 12 or 13 you can imagine that this is about as easy as attacking a lunatic asylum with a banana.
I have had them using a program called web dwarf, which is a free version of SiteSpinner. It pretty much kicks ass as far as getting a web page done. It is the most WYSIWYG web design I have ever seen. It is fun simple and free.
Sir I'd like to call bullshit on you. Why? Because you are not responding to his point, your are illustrating it. What you typed has nothing to do with the idea of -- looking into claims --. Look into the "highly qualified" and decide. Report that process and the decision you reach. The subject of the story is unimportant, the systems that we build to compare and contrast ideas and the market place in which we view those debates is the only thing that has lasting value.
Lets talk about cognitive dissonance for a second because it explains a hell of a lot more things about people then Occam's razor, and in case you don't realize it people and their opinion drive events more than logic, or physics, or the truth.
Cognitive dissonance is the dissonance between what you "believe" and what you do. When their is a difference your beliefs change to match your actions because it is easier to believe you are right then admit you did something that violated your beliefs. Now at this point you're either thinking "wow I never thought of that" or "well that doesn't apply to me because I am above being such a simple minded bitch" (your wrong if you're thinking the latter.)
The classic cognitive dissonance experiment is great. You have 100 people do a really boring job in a lab. When they are done you ask them to recruit for the experiment and you tell them you will pay them. Here is when the experiment begins. You pay half five dollars and you pay half 100 dollars. Everyone went out and told people that they should join the study and when they came back they were debriefed. Those who had gotten five dollars when asked about the study genuinely believed that it was interesting and helping science, those who were paid 100 dollars where like "hey man that was as boring as watching paint dry."
So what subjects can we cognitive dissonance as a tool to view that might work better than Occam's razor? I'd say just about anything that has anything to do with humans, their beliefs, their actions, or especially the things that really get them hot under the collar.
Some examples...
Cults: I just gave away my baby to a guy in a purple robe... I MUST BE RIGHT OR I'D BE A TOTAL FUCKING ABEOBA BRAINED AUTOMOTON!
Politics: I voted for a president who has wiped his ass with the constitution and was on vacation while my country was attacked for really the first time in history... HE MUST BE THE GREATEST MAN EVER AND THE MEDIA IS BEING MEAN TO HIM, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN!
9/11: I just let my fears of strange bearded others allow me to let my government take away my rights and freedoms... BEARDED OTHERS ARE THE GREATEST THREAT TO MY FREEDOM EVER!
This was my friend's idea of how to destroy the CCCP. You take every classified document in the US, shuffle, and ship. They would have bankrupted the economy trying to find the gems in the huge piles of useless shit.

What can we do? We can do the one thing all creative people fear. We need do to exactly what the small minded Disney fans or bitchy soccer moms would do if they saw a cowboy smoking a cig in a cartoon. We need to write a shitload of letters. Not e-mails you internet addicted shit for brains, but letters. Letter on paper head! Letter on grammer school ruled paper writen with crayons! Letter on card stock! Letters even on Cranes paper with water marks. Yes my basment dewlling friends, we need lots and lots of letters telling Disney that we the stock holders, we the movie buyers, and even we than fans demand that Disney's lawyers get to the bottom of this affront to what we love and sue the shit out of "A Fair(y) Use Tale" by Eric Faden. Now go do the voodoo that you do soooo well!
