A lot of Asimov stories were written to show that the Three Laws weren't correct, that they would ultimatley lead to problems. The various short stories revolve around detectives trying to figure out why a robot did something it wasn't supposed to do, apparently violating one of the Three Laws.
Maybe I'm in the minority on this, cause I know a number of gamers who like them, but I view Linkin' Park as a bunch of no-talent whiners who represent a lot that's wrong with music today. The fact that Bungie let them within 100 miles of anything Halo-related ( 1 or 2 ), drops my respect for them ten-fold.
While a noble idea, this is also corruptable. Some kids are not capable of doing this on their own. Learning how to learn is something many teachers strive to teach above all else. Although, again, this itself can be corrupted.
Chernobly was not a privatley run plant, and look what happened there. You can't sell power if your business plan includes a core-meltdown. The problem is in people who are put in positions of power who are not competent to run things.
I find the HotHardware review rather clumsy compared to the Tom's Hardware. In Tom's, they compre the Sempron to it's intended competitor, the Celeron D, but the HotHardware stacks it up against a full P4, a chip that costs more. So naturally Tom's shows the Sempron doing well in most of the test and HotHardware shows it doing "abysmally". What gives?
Except that Apple already refused to liscence FairPlay to RealMedia, so they can't think much of any revenue from liscencing fees. I doubt the number of users for RealPlayer has grown at all since then.
My guess is that the introductory parts of the film will be akin to the quick introductions in "The Train Job". A style that's used in other TV Shows/Movies. Where little questions and bits are slipped into dialogue to give you backstory while simultaneously advancing the plot.
For those not in the know, "The Train Job" was the first episode aired. While the pilot "Serenity" explained how the crew met up in great detail, Fox refused to air it. So Joss Whedon had to great a normal length episode which started the show, introduced everyone, and was an episode( a very good one I might add ).
Do you foresee having to add more complexity to your user system? Some kind of rating/karma system to discourage people who have a tendency to write libel?
That's why we play games. If games ran the way the rest of the world really worked, we wouldn't want to play them. The world is irrational and confusing, with the many impossible situations the articles author described. What he, and all of us should be asking instead of a game that mirrors the world, is a world that mirrors our games. If we were always sure that Nuclear missle silo really was a silo, and that there were never any kids getting turned into chunky salsa by a Sunken Colony. If everything operated on a set of principles that didn't change, and that everyone abided by.
Perhaps it is a naive vision of utopia, but that's why we put it in games, so we at least know what it would be like.
ST:TNG was good pretty much all the way through. Granted there are some people, myself included, prefere the later episodes, but I doubt there's many who'd pretend that Season's 1 and 2 did not exist.
Why does the poster ASSUME that anyone who currently buys music will choose to continue to do so if prices are hiked. This is the point of free market. Stupid decisions and bad prices will be refused if no one is willing to buy them. Even if the impulsive buyers remain, the smart people will leave and convince their friends to leave, and suddenly the record companies, and Apple, will be looking at a net loss instead of their current net profit.
As much as I agree with you about taking the lead, I think the strength of open source developement lies in following. Programmers who have "other" jobs can spend an hour or two at night writing part of a new impelementation. A few paid employees at Novell or elsewhere can easily help to copy an already impelemnted and documented framework. But for those two to develop something new? I think the game gets a bit harder.
I think it's possible for open source research to exist, and for it to compete easily with the likes of Microsoft, but I don't think it exists in such a competitive form yet, and so we will be stuck following the leader for a while.
The changes they made were for the better to most, and about equal to a few ( people who are, for some reason, making 10 backup copies of all their playists ).
But what if, as you say, they made things incredibly worse? What would happen? Would fire and brimstone rain from the skies? No. People would just stop buying songs from iTMS. This is the nature of a free-market. They aren't FORCING me to agree to their terms. I have agreed because I feel, as they do, that the terms are fair, but the agreement is not binding for all future music purchases. If Apple, at the request of the RIAA, changed their DRM to a more draconian model, I would simply stop logging into iTMS and giving them money.
One character at a time. Does that mean writing and programming are both O(n)?

You can run KDE on OS X just fine. I've done it myself. I found that I prefered OS X because it felt snappier. However, I routinley fire up the Terminal to write scripts, or whatever, just because I have the choice to do so. While I can't do much to the window server or anything else, I don't need to, because it works to begin with.

The connector has an option for either analog or optical jacks. With the optical I beleive it could handle more than 2 channels.
