This is mentioned in TFA - Gigabyte say that there are stability issues with having multiple cards in a RAID array. Maybe they will iron out these issues in the future.
So the idea of living in a simulated world isn't new. Wow. That doesn't mean that a new twist on the idea can be shamelessly copied with impunity. I'm not saying that The Matrix was copied from that woman, but I'm not dismissing it out of hand. Can I rip off Brazil, beacuse it's similar to Nineteen Eighty-Four?
Personally I would be *much* more interested in a Cyberpunk MMORPG. Shadowrun always had too much going on, I don't really feel the need to play fantasy and science-fiction simultaneously. Plus there aren't supposed to be that many shadowrunners in the world, but there are a lot of punks in Night City. Maybe APB will fulfill my desires in that direction, but without the cyberwear.
Geez, when iTunes, WMA or DRM in general comes up, everyone screams for support of Linux and non-DRM - When someone actually chooses a vendor that works on Linux and doesn't have DRM, it's suddenly not good enough.
Are you sure that the person that you're responding too is one of the people that "screams for support of Linux and non-DRM"? We aren't all one person, you know. Some people have independent minds and opinions.
This is good news for everyone not interested in the chain and ball that is DRM.
Surely you mean that it's good for everyone that is opposed to the chain and ball that is DRM. One of my colleagues is not interested in DRM, and he uses iTunes to get songs for his iPod. The DRM is of no interest to him, he just plays his tunes.
Lets follow this one through, just out of interest.
Nobody ever buys software in Elbonia. Therefore nobody ever writes software with the Elbonian market in mind. Therefore Elbonian software sales are never in the business plan. Therefore everyone in Elbonia can download software without impacting anyone's profit margins.
"John Carmack is the best game programmer in the world, but I would not want him directing my movie because that's just not his skillset," he joked.
I'd have liked to see Sandy Petersen involved in this project. He was chief level designer for Doom, and his prior experience with Call of Cthulhu is what made it so successful. He's also seen every schlock-horror film ever made.
According to Wikipedia, it was the capacity of the early tapes that led pornographers to use VHS. I can't imagine Sony being able to block the sales of tapes based on their content back in those days. Maybe they could have used trademark law to prevent them from being labelled as Betamax.
Surely the rest of the world could switch over to using the new U.N. root name servers. The new roots could pigeonhole the US TLD's to.us, so for the rest of the world, microsoft.com.us would route to what the US sees as microsoft.com etc. Once they've been relegated to their own little isolated internet for a while they'll soon come around.
But Bill C-60 suggests that Parliament considers such archiving activity is illegal.
So the bill starts out from a presumption that something is already illegal. That doesn't make it so. If the courts don't think that the current law makes Google illegal, then it isn't illegal. That's what separating the legislature from the judiciary means.
Disclaimer: this is ivory-tower thinking. Of course it matters.
Okay I just read the article, and apparently Healthcare Advocates are sueing their lawyers and the Internet Archive, so maybe they are getting their lawyers to sue both themselves and the IA. It really wouldn't surprise me.
The post says that "Internet archive... been sued by the firm Harding Earley Follmer & Frailey, Philadelphia", then says that "Healthcare Advocates sued both the Harding Earley firm and the Internet Archive". Are both sides sueing the IA?
It's materially different in that you are getting stuff for free, which annoys the record companies, rather than having an experience for free which does not. They think that getting MP3 downloads for free will make people into MP3-download addicts who will move on to the hard stuff (P2P, etc.)
Halo 2 is a damn fine implementation of the classic FPS, but is rather short on innovation. Everything is well implemented - weapons, aliens, vehicles, the climactic ending (well, three out of four ain't bad).

They have the support of the UKCDR, and if they get up and running then UKCDR will turn over their assets to the new organization.

Shouldn't that be, "rattle station"?
(Well, it's more original than "Deaf Star", but only just)

Where's the flaw in this logic?

So you don't use Google Maps, then?

No, it doesn't affect the game save, it modifies the game itself (at least, the PC version that I downloaded) and affects all new and saved games.
I didn't know the Hot Coffee mod was available for the X-Box, so far all the coverage I've seen has been about the PC version.

There are millions and millions dead! Oh no, stop living your lives and start panicking!
MOOOOOO!
They're going to name it "Urectum" to avoid all the silly jokes.
