another thing... why is healthcare do ***** expensive????? And why do hospitals rape anyone with no insurance? They charge like $1000 to the insurance company if they're insured, but like $4000 if they're uninsured. It makes no sense. It's a fucking conspiracy to make it impossible for people to self-insure. There should be laws preventing that kind of discriminatory pricing.
I haven't seen one of these gaming cafes anywhere. Not one. By mainstream, does the article mean there's 3 or 4 in New York and 1 elsewhere in the States?
Excessive IP-restrictions hinder competition, and slows innovation by stopping most derivative works. Corporate espionage actually helps both companies develop better products in this case. Capitalism and copyright monopolism definitely do not go hand in hand - because IP monopolies would nearly destroy every benefit capitalism has, namely, a competitive marketplace. Every copyright is its own monopoly, and monopolies are bad for competition. In the 1800's, The only way America managed to catch up with Britain's manufacturing industry is through direct copying of their techniques. And the fact that America did this did nothing to discourage innovation in manufacturing, in fact it had very much the opposite effect.
If the greedy bastards want more than the $15k per hour / $3 million per year that they're making, replace them. Union protection laws should only apply to workers that aren't already FUCKING MULTI MILLIONAIRES. Fire them for being asshats and hire some new actors willing to work for the "low low wage" of $1,000,000 per season.
4 pixel dark smudge = news??

All I can make out is a tiny 4 pixel smudge at about 40 degrees south latitude. Since when do 4 pixels make the news?
most of these bots are terrible, and just work by keywords instead of attempting to logically parse the english. Decent AI won't happen till someone either codes a good way of allowing the bot to learn the logical connotations of words. That's how babies develop mentally, after all.
george bush touched my junk liberally. he strapped me in to his georgebushmobile and he couldnt keep his offensive hands off of me. he was performing many red flag touches. i couldnt believe what the fuck was going on. i told georgebush the city would not approve of a millionaire touching an underage kid for free.
can you believe it? georgebush did all this. he picked me off the street, strapped my arms and legs down in the georgebushmobile's passenger seat, and just wouldn't stop fondling my cock'n'balls.
they definately were red flag touches. the goddamn referee he had in the back seat kept on raising up this red flag every time he touched my junk but did georgebush care? NO WAY! he just kept on doing it. I couldn't believe what the fuck was going on, indeed. I pleaded with georgebush but to no avail. I told him the city would not approve of such a wealthy man touching an underage kid like me (at the time I was 13) without at least compensating me for the trauma and the use of my body as his own personal plaything.
this got to him, worrying about his image. he continued to fondle me, all the while ignoring the referee's red flags. then he drove the georgebushmobile to my house and ejected the seat i was in! it was amazing. but surprisingly, after I woke up the next morning, my bank account had $150k in it!!! Can you believe it??
Laws need not have any moral reasons behind them. They can be made on the basis of what code of conduct would best ensure the prosperity of the society. Which is equivalent to saying, follow the golden rule.
It's pretty pathetic that most American high schools routinely graduate people who have not studied any math beyond basic 6th grade algebra, and have little to no understanding of basic sciences. Well at least *most* of them can read bullshit and write bullshit about it, but for pete's sake everyone should get a decent grounding in the actual facts of the universe. That means MATH, SCIENCE, and HISTORY. The average American who never went to college doesn't know what the hell a proton is, never heard of fibonacci numbers, and has no clue what started WWI. Idiots like that have no IT prospects beyond babysitting elementary school computer labs. That's why companies only bother recruiting from elite universities.
yes, where the hell are you going to get 10,000m of superconducting cable for a home power storage setup? That's more expensive than any other alternative.
Even the giant solenoids used at FermiLab can only store a few joules in their magnetic field. Obviously you know nothing about physics.
Likewise, you'd need a flywheel the size of a house just to store 1KWh of electricity.
Lets see, suppose you have a 250kg disc with a 2m diameter. Its moment of inertia is 125kg*m^2. 1 kilowatt hour is 3.6 million joules. Substitute everything in and you get that the angular velocity has to be 240 radians per second to store just 1 kWh. That's 2200 RPM. At that speed you'd be losing a shitload of energy to friction. It's just not practical. A better mechanical storage mechanism is a water reservoir. If there's a creek by your house you could build your own hydroelectric power system.
So is duke nukem forever going to switch engines yet again, to the Doom3 engine (whenever that comes out)??
At least 3Drealms is still solvent, with the Max Payne series and all. So theoretically they'll have to finish DNF sometime this century.

Now one hacker really can rule the planet!

And lack of good design and documentation --> debugging hell
Fresh college graduates can often code with the best of them. It's about skill, not experience.
Congratulations, you're the 500th person to say that. YOU WIN A FREE PONY.
Well, maybe 20 years in base 5? I guess we could say Bush's IQ is 300 in base 4?

You are a retard. Try constructing a cogent argument, just for practice.
you're not making any fucking sense at all.

No, actually modern power-efficient air conditioners can run on about 1 kilowatt. Solar panels run about $3 per watt these days if you get big ones.

M$ talks about innovation but all they ever do is re-implement other people's ideas. This MMORPG is going to be another shitty clone of Everquest.
