I remember when I bought NES Dragon Warrior for $80. And so shortly after, my friend had FFII for the SNES. So here we combine two facets: Enix had the guts to release Dragon Warrior first (I'm talking about U.S. sales), and it was well-loved. Square, on the other hand, incorporated the fantastic multi-player facet, as well as gorgeous sweeping melodies for all the different castles, towns, etc. The music is completely what made me a Square fan. If they do anything with this merger, it would be wise to keep their Square music team on board. Anyone agree?
My roomate is an aerospace engineering major, we both graduate in December, right here in the twin cities. Would be nice (for him) to see the demand for this system increase, then he can get a job, and I can work at Arby's.

It's too bad the author of this otherwise interesting article had to insult us with his poor attempt at make-fun-of-the-geek humor. My gosh, that's been the problem all along! Viruses are troublesome merely because our pizza-eating tech-people are too fat to move in time! What an enlightening man. Too bad the most famous virii have been spread by CLUELESS EXECUTIVES, who open every email they get, regardless of warnings from the tech department.
Viruses are spread by readers of the Economist. Don't throw stones at techies if your major was Advanced Giraffe Poetry.
Quite a cool idea. But consider how much output power would be required -- more than any earthly transmitter; and the zappers would require jets and fuel to keep them stationary while they zapped, and an extensive control system for the jets would be needed to shape the rubble into the astroid-sized bust of Jaromir Jagr.
What if his smiling face was looking down at us from orbit? Imagine how many astronomers we could scare!
the real question is what kind of pompous windbag literature-majors are selling this book and making money at our expense??? ha-ha, let's pretend to be on the geeks' side. they can make a living doing something honest. we can only hope to impress our superiors with Nice Pants.
I imagine it's because creating an audio-blanket of white noise to keep outside noise from disturbing your headphone music is considerably easier than the preposterous amount of resolution required to modulate binary square-waves into it, and then to recover them after travelling through air!
It amazes me, at any rate. It's important to note that white noise is bandwidth-independent. Were this not true, high-frequency audio segments would contain more messages, and decoding would be more difficult. But it would make Mariah Carey albums more useful, I suppose.
I don't imagine many 747's fly over battle zones and/or test sites. Additionally, I imagine one could select a wavelength that would destroy the shells and yet attenuate promptly through the medium of upper atmosphere, protecting the satelites and space station personnel.
One must also must make sure the beam does not reflect from the ionosphere back to a random earth location, but again, careful wavelength selection would prevent this, dissipating the beam into harmless warm ozone.
if the radiation were to alter or ruin the physical structure of the transistors' semiconductor lattice, the resulting electrical signals could be distorted beyond utility or recovery.
The semiconductors are doped by high-velocity, high-temperature particle bombardment. I imagine radiation could have a counterintuitively destructive effect.
The computer industry has suffered enough in the last decade, and corporate scandals have churned all our guts; there will be no punishment for MS. No judge wants to be responsible for hindering one of the American companies that is actually making cold cash, legitimately.
I am in favor of Trust punishment, but I don't think we will see it on All Saints Day.
don't ever let this happen. The car design scenario creeped me out. I work for an automotive supplier, and we ALREADY have to wait in line to use test equipment, testing chambers, etc. I can only imagine the local supercomputing hub monopolizing the speedy machine, creating more lines to wait in, and IBM bringing its supercomputer prices out of reach for anyone but their own subsidiaries to purchase. Could be a disaster, indeed.
Japan has succeeded in devouring delicious portions of our automobile and semiconductor markets by this proposed technique of theirs before: It's called "dumping". Flood the foreign market with your product, mass-produced like wildfire at home with the help of your government's subsidies, lowering the cost of production by sheer volume produced. Then, here in the U.S., we have a surplus of Japanese hybrid vehicles that need to be sold, so they go for thousands of $$$ less than American cars -- even American fuel cell or hybrid attempts!
It's not the consumer reports, it's Japanese corporate warfare. They've done it before and they'll do it again, very successfully. What we need is our own government to help out: to give tons of money to Ford and GM to develop these new technologies alongside our Japanese friends. If not, America will fall behind in yet another sector of industry.
My information is from the book: "Trading Places" by Clyde Prestowitz, Jr. It talks about the FIRST Japanese-car victory dance in the 1980's. Check it out.
It is too bad their attack is so bilateral. With unilateral mailings for credit cards, I simply scribble all over the application such messages as:
"Find respectable work."
or
"Stop exploiting poor people."
And the company gets to pay the return envelope postage. With telemarketers, however, we are forced into the uncomfortable twinge of countering our ingrained impulse to be polite on the phone. What my roomate used to do is this: when they start talking, take the phone from your ear, put it to your mouth, and just SCREAM!!!!
Then laugh as you imagine the dork at his cubicle, ripping his headset off and holding his ear in pain.
I'm not sure what the arguments to this article will be. It's a matter of contract law. Aggrivating, perhaps, but hope lies predominantly in MSoft's competitors; MS will not reign forever. Nobody can.

Japan paid little heed to the price involved in conquering a delicious chunk of the American auto market. Companies and nations alike, if their desire is strong enough, will avoid tarrifs or simply pay them and get the fat American sales.
A "sale" is a good transfered from seller to buyer in exchange for a price. Thus taxing online sales would be fair, but unnecessary at this early stage in e-commerce development. Of course, the issue of "where" the sale takes place becomes problematic, perhaps the courts have already decided it, I don't know.
I simply want to mention that tarrifs mean very little if the commodity is hot enough (i.e. japanese cars, semiconductors, etc.) and protectionist government actions are EXACTLY how other nations get rich off of American inventions.
Are you kidding? Fast food uniforms are more strict than anybody's! I flipped fish at a popular chain for two years, and I'd say 50% of my fat boss's ranting was due to either:
1) smoking in break room
2) shirt not tucked in
the other 50% of his rants were:
3) his girlfriend's fifth pregnancy (by him)
4) his dominion over the game StarCraft
