A) there's no point suing someone who has no money. Did you expect them to do it when he was in massive debt? He'd just declare bankruptcy, close the company and they'd get nothing.
Except a large portion of his assets; including facebook.com, which was even then a very valuable property. Do you understand bankruptcy law at all (you certainly can't spell it)?
I wish people would stop calling the Metroid Prime series a "FPPV". It's not. Have you seen the ball mode? That's 3rd-person!! People like you make one think the whole game is from some sort of first person point of view; it makes me sick! I can't believe it--this mislabeling it bugs me to no end! It is actually a 3rdPVPARFPPV, gahhh1!
What good is that gun anyway if where you point the wiimote is only linearly related to where it shows up on the screen; you can calibrate it to be precise, but only if you can manage to sit in the same exact location.

Are you talking end users or developers? End users don't see any difference. Most stuff already works with arm, so apparently developers don't see much of a difference.
He could simply make a license that says 'All the terms of the GPLv2 apply, with these modifications'. Or he could even attach a diff. Just like you can make non-free patches to free software, so long as you don't distribute them compiled in with the real software.
"... but there's no reason I couldn't fork the GPLv2 project and make it into a GPLv3 project. " Was there an upwards compatibility clause? No. So no, you can't.
Actually this particular type of scheduler makes basically all the wrong optimizations for a server. In a server environment, you are much more concerned with throughput than you are with latency. It is really hard to define 'better scheduler', it all depends on what you are doing.
I bought a 360 days ago, kept it horizontal, never bumped it while it was running, and called microsoft support about some hairline concentric circle scratches it was putting into my games (and resulting in read errors). What did I hear? *I* had to *pay* *them* $20 for a new copy of the game my system messed up, and I was screwed on the 3rd party title I had. What am I supposed to even do with such a replacement if they won't replace my console? Put it in and let it get scratched *again*? Obviously I returned my console at the store. But what am I supposed to do, buy a new one and potentially let it do the same thing, *knowing* that they won't take any responsibility for it? What can I really do but sue?
The tilt thing keeps coming up. First, that could have been solved by microsoft with $.02 rubber pads, like it has been others on the net, but lets forget that for the moment. I bought a 360 a few days ago, brand new, and it has already put two hairline concentric circle scratches around the center of the disc and both have already had read errors. Needless to say I returned the system. But here's the main point: I had already read about disc scratching problems caused by moving the system so I made sure to put mine in the horizontal position and put it within a solid entertainment system with good ventilation. I have the wireless controllers, so it was not from any yanking on the cords. The only time I ever touched the system while it was running was to press (lightly!) the eject button to change out games.
Wow, that ancient Roman kids went to the Coliseum does **NOT** justify our kids doing the same stuff. Is not the Coliseum universally frowned on today?
Wrong, he paid for a monitor that was certified to be from a production run that contained x% of monitors that had a certain distribution of dead pixels. He got unlucky, and then he returned it, not because he got something that was mislabeled or broke, but because he is a, in any reasonable interpretation of the word, thief.
First you were talking about Zelda for Wii, and I was sort of laughing cause I've got that on gamecube. Then you started talking about Ninja Gaiden-- seriously, which console generation are we talking about here??
You are the most cold calculating bastard I have ever heard of. I'm sure it rubs off with your employees: "no no, he wasn't really interested in what I had to say, he just wanted to make a little 'contact point'.
So, you're buying a monitor conforming to ISO blah blah blah which clearly states that a run of monitors may have x dead pixels, and any given monitor may have up to x dead pixels in a certain limited distribution, then you get unlucky on it, and you ex[pect mom & pop to eat the loss? Why don't you buy certified dead-pixel free monitors? Oh yeah, cause they would cost 20-30% more.

I guess you would also give bad grades to black kids because they had different accents? Who the hell are you?

Hey asshole, smileys don't automatically smooth things over. You need to cut that out.

Dirty Harry was a pretty bad dude yo.
Probably the same guy who thinks "all I want for christmas is a psp".

Why? Just so that more breeding can occur??

Yet another reason not to shop at a mom and pop store.
No multi-touch. How are you going to zoom in on stuff, a menu item? HAHAHA
He makes all monitors more expensive for everyone else by essentially stealing. That's why I give a shit.

So the answer is buy a pentium II now, and a new computer 3 years from now.
