You know, people on Wall Street do make an effort to notice when companies are throwing away tons of money. Especially in times like this.
I would guess that Google's stock prices are going to look more and more inflated at this rate. They keep doing all these side projects, none of which contribute to their core enterprise. They could have their employees doing analysis of foreign searches for intel purposes instead. Or working on personalized search results for selected Google users (blackholing some people or grooming results for others)
Or maybe there's not much for Google employees to be doing after all.
I for one advocate increased access to healthy adult vaginas to curtail the desire among otherwise healthy adult males to search for 2 dimensional static renditions of bizarre sex acts to make them more inclined to have sex with a hand.
I also advocate a healthier sense of our sexuality but, HAHA, yeah right.
They are all for freedom but then you want to protect yourself from harmful neighbor radiation and they won't let you. And they know their bigger government programs will result in more radiation.
One time, I gave my 2 weeks notice, and my manager was sobbing at his desk. Like his puppy just died or something. It was really quite pitiful. Another time, I had to put in notice, and my boss seemed to take it ok, but then as I was leaving work, there was a police car outside, they were taking him away, because apparently he had flipped out and started smashing cars in the parking lot with a baseball bat.
I mean, I try to do a good job, but it only ever makes for a really codependent relationship with the management.
Meanwhile people are buying out-of-region titles and modchipping their hardware, because as long as they can manage to play the game (not dialog based) they will enjoy it regardless of the foreign language requirements.
Especially as there is an english language version of this game already, and either one of the two holds, that 1. most people in europe can get the idea from english 2. english is parallel to European languages in terms of verbosity and character coding requirements......
Probably you could make some money and make the user base 95% satisfied by doing the laissez-faire thing and just letting them buy the games already available...
Damn hippies! You know what we mean! We want guns, shooting, killing, like a normal frickin game. Get off your drugs and try to make a reasonable game!!!
They should grind these people into SEX OFFENDER DUST using a mortar and pestle and then they should grind that dust into SEX OFFENDER FLOUR, which they can use to make BREAD, then they should feed that bread to SUBWAY RATS, then they should take the pellets from the rats and enslave those pellets to a life of misery before gassing them with MUSTARD GAS, drenching them in ANTHRAX, and obliterating them with DIRTY BOMBS. Even then, IT WILL NOT BE ENOUGH.
intellectual property... property rights. isn't about being capitalist, it's about being able to own something.
If you can't give something away freely without being labeled a communist, then you don't really own it in the first place.
As far as I can tell this is about a corporate entity all the sudden deciding to take intelligent control (put to the profit motive) something which has been seized by mindless barbarians (given away freely)
what's more, this comes from a christ-as-jailer perspective of christianity--that side of the huge and multifaceted religion that would bring damnation on earth to avert sin.
A long ways from the buddy jesus concept. I'm really glad everyone decided that was the wrong way to go. I guess a thumbs-up, affirmative type of religion is better left to a different time, or a different people, than us today.
and this is where legislation differs from the laws of physics. with legislation you can actually take into account human perception as something with a strong enough basis to start from.

We've been without slaves for too long. This'll be great.
It actually requires a separate computer (an ordinary PC, as shipped) to run the software that configures partitions and manages the boot process.
Holy shit that's awesome. That is straight out of a science fiction flick. Only a totally awesome computer would get an assistant computer.
What's the business reason for this?

I didn't know they had the ability to store a human being's identity on magnetic tape. Huh.

yeah. nobody's been thinking of the children.
y'all need to pull sally struthers out of your ass. if this is the face of compassion, I would recommend signing up to be a paid killer instead.
holy shit. how is aluminum foil going to save us now?!
Well whatever the price point I predict that microsoft will be able to generate a large amount of those points per second.
I was going to ask about MNz. It's a typo for MHz I guess?
"dots per second" --> "float dot products per second" is quite a stretch but I can't think of anything else it would be...
Oh yeah, me too man.

neutrality is unamerican!!! get off the fence microsoft!!!!
no, I agree with the original poster. They should have at least tried to include some ak-47's in the game somewhere.
the presence of ak-47s will improve any media product substantially, over the non ak-47 version.
statistics, they do show...

of course, if I'm going to be bathed in cosmic radiation, I'd want to be asleep for when the radiation sickness sets in.

why are games inherently single threaded?
microsoft can play this game but others can't? ok........
putting a stop to software piracy would go a long way towards making this a moot point I think
what a corporate tool.
