So, what you're saying is that one failed attempt is all we need? No-one should ever try again? Tell me, where can I go, right now, and get this kind of service? Oh, and maybe the reason why this failed the first time around had something to do with the technology (and average bandwidth of internet connection) available at the time? Maybe it had something to do with their marketing, or their choice of target audience (americans are not exactly the most early adopters) or maybe Amazon just thought this would be a cheap project and didn't put enough resources into it. The list goes on.
Cry me a river dude, what makes you think you have the right not to be photographed in public? What makes you think you have the right to tell people they can't photograph your neighbourhood? This is a non-issue, and street level photography tied to satellite appears to be very useful. I have often looked up places I'm intending to go on Google Earth to get an idea of the geography of the location, now I can use street level photography to get some landmarks too. I'm surprised it hasn't been done already and just hope that Microsoft will be collecting data outside the US too.
Doesn't seem logical but Novell won't discuss it preferring, it says, to wait and see what happens in the GPL3 negotiations, clinging to the notion that Stallman and company - anarchist fanatics said to be cut from the same all-or-nothing cloth as suicide bombers - won't do anything to derail Linux. Quite apart from the partial title, which is misrepresentative of the article, why would you post a link to anything that contained statements like this?
Which is one of the many reasons I hate Vista. Like MMORPG designers they blindly copy features from their competitors without actually thinking if those ideas are any good, make sense to their current customer base, etc. So we end up with features that make absolutely no sense on Windows because they're just pale imitations of the Mac.
Man, even Theo de Raadt recognises now that you can't prevent 100% of security flaws in software. As such, you need to make it difficult for people to exploit the flaw should one be discovered. This makes it more likely that people will just report security flaws than hoard them as it takes a lot more skills to produce a working exploit. For a moment there, I figured I might have found someone who was more pig headed than Theo, but I see now that you're just ignorant. Now that I have told you that you're ignorant, maybe you'll shut the hell up until you learn what you're talking about, but I doubt it. You'll probably argue with me in an attempt to show me your knowledge and prove that you're not ignorant, and in doing so you'll make some more preposterous suggestions and most the people reading this will be ignorant of security programming too, so they'll mod me as flamebait and they'll mod you as insightful, which will result in more people reading your comment than mine and make most people even more ignorant.
Well shit, I want a pony, and I want it to eat only sugar cubes and sleep in the garage when I'm not riding it and not take up too much space. But that's not how ponies are. Don't cry for the moon.
no, it's like home buyers having to pay a tax to go to Walmart for stolen merchandise.. after all, houses are just repositories for stolen merchandise and everyone knows it.
depends very much on your graphics hardware.. but Halflife 2 looked better I think. Still, not exactly a natural environment, so you can't fairly compare the two.
We did not do a full review as part of the process. [Microsoft] may have; we did not. I think your question was based on an assumption that we did a deep review, and we didn't.By a full review there, I believe he means a code review, to look for patent violations, before they signed a deal to protect their customers from possible patent violations. So he bought something, without actually doing due diligence to find out if they actually needed it. That's like buying flood damage insurance when you live on a mountain, it's not spending company money responsibly.
Yes, you're right. Some of the story safety restrictions in Oblivion piss me off. I tell a guy he's without honor, he tells me to go away or he'll kick my ass, can I challenge him to a duel? no. Can I start hacking into him? sure, but he won't die, he'll only go "unconcious" because he's needed for another quest. Gah. But, like all games, you have to accept the limitations of the media.
Whatever man, I have no desire to convince you of anything. I have a friend who plays Oblivion just to look at the beautiful graphics. He'll take his horse up a mountain to a waterfall and sit under a tree and watch the sunset.
Apparently Will Wright specifically mentioned Flow in one of his talks, and said he didn't mind. So yeah, I don't think flow predates Spore's announcement.

was a time when only people who were near you could talk to you too. isn't modern technology great?

Guess I just got sick of correcting idiots all the time.
Perhaps you should suck on my arse. I felt like flaming the guy, so I did. I don't exist for your edification or your amusement.

at least open source paid for by governments.
He works nights, he doesn't get to see daylight much.

yup, not worth $40 million, or reciprecation. He's admitted to buying something without considering its value. That's misconduct.
mandatory tool to have in your toolkit if you deal with Windows machines.
how litle respect society has for the ban on copyright that we're living under. The fact that it is so unenforced doesn't help either.

And we're still waiting for Spore.
oh, we're doing accents now?

Yeah, there is that much gameplay in Oblivion too, and without the annoyance of other players.
Now, that is what I call addictive.
Isn't it like 1 in 9 drinkers who are alcoholics too?
to protect our nations from terrorism. Get over it America.
Haha, I'm just kiding.
