Not to be a Microsoft apologist, but this is a claim made by one party in the case, and one who's heavily biased. This is an assertion, not a proven fact.
Kip Kokinakis runs Aura, and he's the same guy that ran 3D sound pioneer Aureal Semiconductor. ExtremeTech's got an article on Aura from earlier this year that answers the cancer question. Kip also talks about the last days of Aureal in this sidebar.
Personally, I always thought the Aureal cards were damn good, myself.
I learned from Microsoft Flight Simulator 2003. While I've never flown for United, I bet any competent flight sim geek would be able to do it.
My proof? The Krypton Factor, a British game show that ran during the 90s (when I studied in London.) During the season, contestants would land a simulated 747. During the season finale, they landed the real thing.
Weapons of mass destruction. Biological outbreaks of plague. Medical sensors. Bah.
There is one purpose for which yeast, and yeast research, should be put. Beer. Better beer. Beer that tastes great, but is less filling. Beer that I can drink until snookered, then wake up from the next day, hangover free.
There's no reason for "community". When most of the people on the planet are using their software, there's no real reason for the users to band together.
Sort of like asking why there aren't clubs exclusively for white people, in a way.
I'd call myself a liberal, but I really don't think we need to be all that concerned with the massive amounts of ancient flora that had to die to create the oil we burn. Yes, it's interesting that a gallon of gas required X tons of prehistoric plants, but we don't know how many tons of plants grew each year during the Jurassic, for example. The numbers are meaningless.
All the article (and the parent) seems to imply is that there's a prevalent belief that oil is a renewable resource. Huh? Is there anyone alive that believes we can cut down forests, let the wood rot, and make more oil? Besides the idiots in the White House? No. (And I seriously doubt that even the most conservative of energy policy analysts believes that to be true.)
So, if we all believe that oil is not a renewable resource, let's move on, shall we? We've become sidetracked.
Previously, the company said it was a "trial program". Now that the "trial" is over, activation will be appearing on all of Symantec's consumer software. That includes Norton Antivirus, Norton Personal Firewall, GoBack Deluxe, Norton SystemWorks, Norton Ghost, PCanywhere, and WinFax Pro.
If we'd sent in Sam Fisher to begin with, we wouldn't have this problem!
"Sam, Nikoladze has released another video over the Internet, claiming that the second phase of his war on America will be aimed at the public itself."
"What's he got planned?"
"We think he's planning to prosecute Americans for illegally using the SCO code!"
"I see. And what do you want me to do about it."
"SCO headquarters is under constant guard. Lawyers prowl the hallways. Get that code!"
"Am I off the leash?"
"Absolutely. Fifth freedom is in full effect. This is war!"
Given all the crap associated with the automated iDrive system on the BMWs ("the world's ultimate driving machine"), I think it's perfectly fair to question the capability of this system on the Honda, the true Volkswagen (in the German sense, "people's car") of today's world.
Design errors happen. I think it's perfectly reasonable to ask questions where my life is at stake. If you don't, then you're perfectly welcome to try out my new glider I made from bricks.
...is that the game itself ain't all that hot. Or at least the single-player version of it. Very little story, and it pales in comparison to Baldur's Gate 1 & 2. Personally, I found it as much fun as compiling a Linux dis-... Oh.
If a game is a rigidly defined artificial activity that is meant to be completed, or won, then products like Anarchy Online are in many ways not really games at all. Rather, they are full-fledged virtual sandboxes. Instead of castles, players build lives.
He should try this in "Real Life". There's money, power, romance, derring-do... It's a rush.
Er, no. The first couple of books are, then maybe the third and fourth are worth a chuckle, but BY GOD, HE JUST WON'T STOP WRITING THEM!
He's up to about 26 right now and the last few seem to be out of print on the Amazon site. I assume that's because they suck. Proof: this quote from the Amazon.com page on Yon Ill Wind, the 19th in the series:
"Anthony incorporated about 150 suggestions from fans in Roc and a Hard Place (1995); he uses and credits another 100 here, including two major premises."
The guy couldn't even care enough to come up with his own plots! He was a contractor, for pete's sake! He's even got his books planned out, by month, on his web site! And he's got an erotic fantasy novel due out this year called (and I'm not making this up, check the site) "The Magic Fart"!!!
That seems a bit disingenuous. Frankly -- and without slicing each PC OEM into an "-est" category -- I'd say that virtually all PCs available, Mac or Windows, do what they're made to do capably and well. The only advantage Apple has is its aesthetics, frankly.

Beer.
Any questions?

Not.

I don't play a lot of these MMORPGs, but that looks awfully pretty.
Clicky, clicky.
Packard Bell is still in Europe, and has been for years. In fact, it's one of the few OEMs building Athlon 64 systems.
I think Robertson's at 6.7 deciJobs, and climbing.
Add me to your list. I thought it was satire from the intro blurb on the Slashdot home page.

Apparently not, it says over at ExtremeTech. Of course, the microprocessors will likely be different as well.
Unless you work at places where seeing full frontal nudity (that "jiggles") is permitted.
...the pale, skinny kid next door gains a new weapon in his unending pursuit of porn.
"I just love the smell of coconut oil in the morning," he'll smirk, piloting his wanking whirlybird closer to the unsuspecting female.
And voila! a new fetish is born.
do you need to win a dB drag race?
(OK, maybe just the second one. And it was a troll-y subject line. But not a troll! Not a troll!)
You need a pet.

So pretend the squirrel outside your bedroom window is growling at you and waving a dagger, and shoot it with a BB gun.
