Let's blame george w bush and the rest of the military. They surely train killers more than any video game. Uncle Sam want's YOU! to go kill people. Wanna learn how to beat people senseless? watch the Rodney King video, watch how the WTO and IMF protesters get treated.
Let not forget that music on CD costs $16 a track in this age of one hit CDs. It's rare that you get 5 or more listenable songs on a cd in the first place. Even that could come out to $3 per track.
As for the RIAA pissing about recording cost and production cost and sales, just ask how much goes into the average CD production. Most musicians buy thier own studio time just to get CDs pressed for distribution at local shows. Very acceptable quality comes from this. The goal of course is to someday get "signed" by a marketer. Then go on tour, which is the only place newly signed artist REALLY make money.
Live Performance is it. Just like You and I. Musicians should get paid for showing up to work each day (or each night). In this day and age we do not need the RIAA. We (musicians and supporters) could create music, market it, distribute it and advertise tour dates via cheap internet resources. No RIAA. Give the musicians what they would normally get per download and give the rest to the newly create music service. I know some of this goes on already but it needs more resources, better rating services and better advertising. It also need to be compatable will all MP3... no... OGG players.
Many "labels' could be created and all would be welcome to participate in the new system using a standardised data interchange format.
That moment of silence gives us time to think about how fucked we all are under the current regime. surely this will be banned because it encourges free thought.
I watched the video and I didn't see a damn thing happen. I think It's just another science boondoggle. What so special about a grey blob rolling around on some egg crate thingie?
>>>protected a corporate right at the expense of the consumer...
Bullshit again! Remember, We are talking about "Google AdWords" and not "Google Search Results". If you want choices, search for "tissues" not "kleenex". Then look at the search results, not the sponsored results.
I declare bullshit on you. An advertiser has to actively ask google to display ads for "scott tissue" when someone googles for "kleenex". It's very easy to google for tissue and see if the advertiser is "borrowing" the scott name. It's easy to ask the advertiser to do the right thing or be banned. Google simply needs to carry a policy to warn advertisers that google will bill for legal fees if your a name stealing butthead. plus google can do a quick check on thier own for good faith.
Please use generic terms and or trademarks owned buy you. Thank you.
Isn't the internet an system by which you can interact with your friends and associates in various connected ways that make this patent kinda redundant anyway. There are no limitations to the way you can link your apps to be relavant to each other in some way or another. For instance, loggin into the game network could send emails to your friends. your friend (had they still used email for communication) would receive an email with a link to launch an application (GameX, Business whiteboardY, shared spreadsheetZ) and join in the interactive meeting. Big Fucking Deal. This whole software patents thing has been bullshit all along. There is "virtually" nothing you can't do, pardon the pun.
>>"I don't care if I put CIA/FBI agent's lives in danger"
I thought the high you get from working for the Federation/CIA/FBI/man was specifically from your life being in danger. Thats what drives these dickheads to work thier.:) It'a all a big power/danger high.
Would you buy a brand new pair of pants that had a huge long hole right between the back pockets and use them for walking around in public (assuming your real name is not Cher). Well, I could make a fortune selling patches so all your asses aren't hangin out.
Don't forget to hide a decoy in your steg. Once your sick stalker/oppresser cracks the easy message they will stop looking into file for the real message. Of course the decoy needs to be believable.
Simplification is good. I have a Nokia 6800. Got it for free from AT&T before they were bought by cingular which is just as well. It looks like a phone and flips open to reveal a keyboard. They now have the 6810 and 6820. To me it is a good mix of features. Cell phone with great coverage, Planner, email, prioritized TODO, IRDA, text notes and mesaging, internet to check/buy/sell your stocks (and lots of kids features too).
I was about to buy a PDA when I found 6800. I recommend that any should at least have a look at the 68xx before buying a cell phone/plan. It's small and has a (thumb) keyboard.
And the first thing you see is a sponsored report about how microsoft server is better than linux. On the plus side, the search results no longer include "migrate from linux to windows" as the standard number three result.
I'm for hire, I don't care if they are whackjobs. Money is money. Check out my journal. Contact me through a secure channel. P.S. If my journal looks blank you are not using the secure browser. BTW. I will take contract work, I do not join any cause or pledge loyalty. Cheers,
It's as though Nintendo has revealed the fact that they uncovered huge secrets but they can't tell us what they are. This has to be the most fustrating story I've seen in years. They need to show us ALL of the responses or just stfu.

I've got a dollar that says it's more like exponential or somewhere in between.

Brilliant! this might be the way to end this crap. You've got my vote.

I would set the screensaver for no more than five minutes.

Correct. And I believe it's called sushimi when it contains raw fish/seafood.

Not at all. I'm just saying they should amuse us with the 'content' or leave it alone.

Fine. But I'm curious:
1) What marketing segment and region were you refering to.
2) What are your references?

Make that the right column, sorry.
