From what I can tell this project is already stable and ready for production. It even has a sophisticated simulator to test the missile firing alogrythms if you don't happen to actually have a real missile to fire.
Check out the source code.
I have not idea why China would block Taipei or Mahjongg, whatever you call it. I mean, that game w/ the little tiles is so fun and addictive. I mean why would China block... oooohhhh... Typepad... in that case who really cares?
If you look at game companies, instead of the entire industry, you'll see that it makes a lot of sense to focus their limited resources on producing sequals to top selling games. This is common in most (all?) entertainment industries. They'll make incremental improvements, focus heavily on tweaking gameplay, adding features, enhancing graphics, and then take the money, the internal experience, and the code libraries to their next innovative idea. As soon as people started getting tired of playing Half-Life 4: Half and Half and Halfed again... they'll be an opening for an innovative and interesting game. Now of course, some other company without a franchise like HF2 may come along and shake things up, but again, it's less risky to target and existing market.
It takes a lot of money to make a commercially successful game, and most investors don't want to invest in "starving artists" with just and idea and no real solid plan for financial return.
I agree, and I refuse to use an AMD or Intel processor until the come w/ Linux support out of the box too. And don't get me started about my demands on those chipset vendors!
John Kerry promises to create millions of jobs for the unskilled, unwashed, unmotivate, uneducated masses in the new video game and junk food testing industries.
Hower Dean supports the decision with a resounding "GWAUAUAHEUE"
Although the proposed funding model is... creative, to say the least I'm certain we'd be better off sticking to the tried and true methods for raising capital for large expenditures. Namely, standing in stopped traffic at a busy intersection requesting donations or by having "free" carwashes. Everyone please sign up at your local bulletin boards.
The two key elements of any dream job are comradery and a physically active work day. Most people suffer through horrible jobs in overly air conditioned cubicle farms surrounded by people the don't know or only know enough to know that they despise them. These poor saps are constantly being bombarded by commands from managers who aimlessly trying to keep a sinking ship from catching fire. Now, imagine a job where everyone worked together, in unison, for a single purpose. A job where management was clear in their direction and purpose. A job which allowed you to move about and be physically active. You'll feel as if you accomplished something at the end of the day, even if the task seemed like moving a mountain, because you and your teammates were doing it together. You'll save money and time on trips to the gym because you'll be active each and every day. If this sounds like a job for you, and you have the will to succeed, please call.

Hey, stop with all of the logic and sound reasoning, you're going to silence all of the kiddie's rants. And if they can't rant incoherently on Slashdot they'll return to the streets and form maurading street gangs. So, please for the public's safety, tow the party line.
Down with SCO, down with Microsoft, down with the RIAA. I say. Hey hey.
I'd rent movies, but I should be free to return them any time I want to, and since those money loving thieves at Blockbuster want me to return them in 5 days, I say screw them! I'm protesting the MPAA, RIAA, CIA, Blockbuster, Disney, Microsoft, and OPEC.
Yeah, or maybe they'll finally realize that everyone wants RAID in their IPods! With smaller drives they can make it happen. How are you supposed to run a serious production IPod w/o some form of disk redundancy! I mean seriously now Apple, let's get w/ the program.
Article stated: The company expects each drive to cost around 30,000 yen ($278.46) initially, but projects that mass production will push down the price to less than 10,000 yen ($92.83) within a few years.
Of course, exchange rates may change significantly before the price drops to 10,000 yen.

But don't think he had a laptop... and eithe way I didn't record the MAC address. Bummer.

I already run the beta of the OC... Windows XP.
With a $149 X-box and ten of the best murder simulators for $19.99 a piece everyone can finally afford childcare.
No doubt the first submission to this new site would be goatse.cx
And it would be accepted and filed under petting zoo?
I'm going to put that warning on the front of my cube.

I like your cadence... let me try...
Faust7 bathes occasionally, but only in yesterday's bathwater.
Oh yeah, this is fun... I'm going to give it another go.
RedHat has pulled out of the Linux desktop support business, unwashed masses still wear Fedoras.
Novell must develop a strong "pimp hand" and good "street sense" in order to turn a profit from it's stable of Linux biatches.
I have nothing to say, and even less time to say it.

Yup, and fries too.
I'm not sure what the old site looked like, but the new site is much more dashing than the old site!

Keep dreaming.
Interesting, because in The South we listen to a lot of CCR. Coincidence? I think not.
and any birds that venture past the signs do so at their own risk.
There it went.

As the article stated:
Despite the smaller size, Toshiba's HDD has a storage capacity of 2-3GB
Nope... he just forgot to insert the ads.
