1.) Americans need to be more willing to live with their parents. Everyone needs to make a cazillion dollars because the landlord is ripping them off. Rent is virtually the same as mortgage in this country which is outragous.
2.) Americans should open all stores and corporations 24x7. This will create many more jobs and improve the life style of just about any city or town. Add another regulation from the government to prevent any corporate overtime beyond 40 hours a week. Bam, the economy is back in business.
Way back in like the early 90s there was some 10 year old kid who asked in a magazine article about advertisement (if memory serves me correct it was electronic gaming monthly).
He said something like why don't video game companies like EA use real advertisement in the sport stadium banners and such. Not too long later I remember getting NBA live basketball with real advertisement inside. To this day I really wonder if the industry owe this kid something.
I once used a network monitor to get an idea of how much bandwidth is used for playing games like wolfenstein enemy territory and call of duty.
It used alot more than any downloads I have combined. If I get any shit from my ISP telling me I can't play games due to high bandwidth use, I'll cancel the account in a heartbeat.
From the span of like 1992 to 1996, there was hardly any decent games out in the market. I remember how revolutionary mortal kombat was. Cause there was hardly any decent competition.
Today I am many years older.... yet my game wish-list is 10 miles longer. Every game seem to have so much more playability with online capability and so much more depth.
In 1995, there was alot of talk about a glass cube that can store a terabyte of data. This technology was expected to be around the market by 2005. Where is it now?
Exactly. Like 90% of the great technical innovations they either don't make it for political reasons. Or heavily delayed for an eternity. Scary part is, Doom III will probably come out after this stuff.
VIA has a tendency to make the most unstable chipset.
I have owned 3 abit motherboards, 1 tyan and 1 ecs, all based on a VIA chipset. Only 1 out of 5 board could remain stable for more than a year. Yes, yes I installed the VIA-4-in-1 drivers and more or less the same OS.
If you do the math, that's 20% stability in my experience.
I am far from an xbox fan, but this is another example of GREAT MARKETING. Not so much for the porn URL, but for UBIsoft and rainbow six.
Do you know how many people actually went out to buy aladdin the vhs movie when the found out one of the church chapels was shaped identical to a huge penis. Thousands! During the pre-internet days teenage girls were lining up to buy aladdin to see some cock. You think I am kidding, but this is great marketing facts.
It took me 5 days to move my homepage from altavista to google. It took me about a day to go from google to vivisimo.
I have had a couple really good web sites that I simply couldn't find off google for months. On my first shot with vivisimo, the item I was looking for came up.
While this sounds pretty vague, I cannot tell you how impressed I am. The only trick part to that site is the two advertisements that show up looking like a result from a search. If they get rid of that... sky's the limit.
Here's my #1 advice for any highschooler entering any college. "School is always available, but the industry of your choice will not."
When I graduated the market was flooded with computer jobs, and I have a tech degree. I think I got lucky making the right anticipation at the time. Though I shouldn't have listened to my parents, staying in school.
I should have dropped out early and get more years of corporate work experience plus stock options and go back to school in this shitty economy. I have experienced many jobs, periods of unemployment and the market is volatile as ever.
Timing is everything. I see stupid people make a fortune, and smart people losing jobs. Even sewing majors can be millionaires if you know when the industry of your choice will show up.
After I installed SP1, my windows xp installation went from great to plain aweful.
1.) The number of errors I got from event manager spiraled thru the roof. 2.) It also caused internet explorer to error out with dll errors every other page. 3.) My scanner would scan in all pitch dark pictures. 4.) My graphics card would just get dll errors in the middle of games that would work before.
I re-norton ghosted back an image of pre SP1, and all was in harmony again. You can pay me to touch SP2.
Initial Public Offerings typically benefit the original share holders and early group of employees in a company. This will give google a massive one year publicity and financial boost, I am sure of it.
Afterwards it's just regular stocks. From a personal experience I have owned 401ks, stocks, IPO stocks, many mutual funds. This kind of corporate game is "so yesterday". It's going to take a clever financial market to really reel people back.
Expect google to get a ton of attention upfront. I agree with most/.ers though, google will spiral downhill afterwards for a million reasons.
I know about 10 people who will switch PCs when Doom III and halflife2 comes out. They have accumulated $ for all the hardware and XP, but they just see no reason to get rid of win98 now.
I know someone who was born and raised in China, who plays an insane amount of video games. I seriously cannot tell whether he was kidding or not, but this person admits...
"If you lived in China, everything you do in the real world is negatively fucked over by the communist government. If you earn money in diablo II, what the hell can they do? Login and steal your virtual money."
No where in this game does it single out Haitians as a target.
1.) If you can't get this thru your thick skull as an adult, you got problems.
2.) If you can't get this thru to your kid as a parent, you're a shitty parent.
Typical American way of always pointing the finger at sports athlete and video games as a source of problem. Race and every other problem in this country comes from lousing parenting in the family. I am sorry but if we really are shooting for a better society, the law should ban divorces first. No reason why you should have 40 kids and 40 divorces in a life time. That fuck things up in this country way worse than GTA + GTA: vice city.
According to a networking expert I know, games eat the most bandwidth since it requires nonstop upload and download stream. Where as Kazaa-ing will mostly just eat up the download stream.
I am sorry, but the music industry is beyond rescue. When there are songs people don't even bother kazaa-ing for free, you know the industry is dissolving to hell.
If India really has those super fast jets, it's time to globalize their aerospace engineering to countries like Canada and U.S. for cheap labor at $100,000 USD a year.

I am sorry but this thing has as much chance in the market as Nokia Ngage if it's based off VIA chipsets.

This is why I hate Mac users, they will form an army at the drop of any half assed innovation as long as they can afford it.

Download small 30 second mpeg of certain pornstar with poor quality. Final cost - $1.
Go buy a 1 hr video of same pornstar and get perfect copy. Final cost - $15.
The internet will lose alot of fan if every MB sent is associated with a cost.
Good, now I can get back on kazaa without feeling guilty.
Oh wait there is no music worth downloading lately. What am I saying, there is no music worth grabbing for the past 5 years.
Now not only do people destroy their family life savings with horse racing.
Now GPS help the horse race business go even higher tech. As if fantasy football and internet slot machine wasn't enough.
You want to have a small number of beige boxes that are solid and need virtually no support.
But offering only 2 models, your business probably won't last very long.

Is this some BS, or is this for real?
I heard OSX existed in 1901. Where did people find the place to plug it in then?
Best album in 2003 was my family photo album.
