But Taking something that was horrific on both sides and making it something that for most whom would play it FUN is not the way to go about it. Make a documentary, Movie, Book anything but a game. It's called respect for those that through no fault of their own lost their lives and a GAME is no way of showing respect.
There are lots of games based on WWII. Do you feel the same way about those?
If you sit around on your ass waiting cashing in capitol gains (which means you sold a stock and are taking money _out_ of the system)
I don't understand this. If I sell a bunch of stock for a gain, then someone had to buy that stock, so how is the money taken out of the system? Yes, I took some money, but someone else put some in.
The real answer is to get those older drivers off the roadways. Forget the grey panthers and require drivers over 65 to re-qualify to keep their license every 2 yrs and include a driven and reflex test as well as the usual vision test.
Some of us do. I rarely use my phone, so I have a cheap plan that gives me a dial-tone and a handful of local minutes. Over that, I pay per minute. It works out to be much cheaper than unlimited local service.
"No civilized society, he adds, can endure 'purely voluntary payment for art, knowledge, and culture. [...] Griffin's most intriguing idea, and one he's been pitching for some time now, is a voluntary, blanket music license;"
Wait. Voluntary payments don't work, so here's a voluntary payment scheme?
OPEC supplies 53.8% of our oil imports (a little over 5.25 million barrels per day out of a little over 20 million barrels per day used). People, it's simple math.
Simple math, eh? How is 5.25 anywhere near 53.8% of 20+?
However a story from a cnet journalist quoting a financial analyst on a technical problem where they're not even sure of the chipset in question is not very credible.
I agree with your comments, but it triggered a question. Why isn't the chipset known? Hasn't someone opened up an iPhone and looked at what chips are in it?
I also like the idea of equipping cars with wireless stuff like this. The owner reports it missing, the car starts reporting its location to the cops and they can nab the perps.
Could they be in talks with, for example, the folks in charge of the education changes that will be coming with the changing of the guard from republican to democrat White House administrations?
Since you seem to have a crystal ball and can see that the Democrats will win the White House - will it be Clinton or Obama?
those are quite old stories, any idea what the current situation is now? are they still using the double bridges at denver in double mode? have they rolled them out anywhere else?

temporary Contract workers were told they must take a $10 cut
Ten dollars? How much are they getting paid that a $10 cut hurts?
Is that per-hour, per-week, or what?

Location is not the point here. Much more telling is noting the lack of significant law school.
You also probably don't see many medical schools on the list, either.
Does that mean the RIAA is afraid of doctors-to-be?
you'd rather spend $120/yr than $100/yr and get a lower quality product? And people wonder why the economy is in trouble.
Isn't the economy helped by people spending more money?
That is - why do you think spending $100 is better for the economy than spending $120?
You might also not be at all surprised to know that Google is working on an Android competitor to the Apple App store.
That's right, I'm not suprised. It was on the front page of Slashdot awhile back.

Why just over 65? This should be for everyone.

We don't pay by usage for local phone service.
Some of us do. I rarely use my phone, so I have a cheap plan that gives me a dial-tone and a handful of local minutes. Over that, I pay per minute. It works out to be much cheaper than unlimited local service.
If it is compatible with the firefox 2 browser, then they have already spent the money on supporting a fringe OS.
Firefox is not an operating system, it's a web browser.

I'm paying out almost $30 a month extra for 2 set top boxes and a DVR because they're required.
What? You're required to have a DVR?

ANY time you touch hardware there can be a problem if it's coded wrong.
Thus, if you code it right, you won't crash.
[..] lead to the undermining of current encryption methods, which depend on the difficulty of factoring large prime numbers.
That's a trivial problem.
All prime numbers have two factors: 1 and itself.
Goodbye encryption :-)

Thats twice the penalty for murder.
Must depend on where you live.
Around we have the death penalty or life imprisonment for murder.
Generally it's not a good idea to get in a gun fight with a rancher on their own property.
Generally, it's not a good idea to be on private property without permission.
This article is about Demonoid. Like Orkut, like Advogato, and like Google Mail when it was in beta, Demonoid is part of the remaining 1%
According to http://gmail.com/, Google Mail is still in beta. Did you mean something else?

Current high-end server boards support up to 64GB of RAM (16 slots, 4GB DIMMs).
What's your definition of "high-end"?
As noted in another post, HP, Sun, and IBM all sell servers today with 1TB or more of RAM.
All DOD domains end in .mil not .com.
What's this then?

The company that makes them doesn't list any more recent deployments.
