I waste a ton of time at work manually interacting with a closed source ActiveX program. I've been looking for a way to automate refreshing the data screen and parsing the info.
Having a 500$ computer do this is FAR FAR cheaper than hiring a person to do this.
Yes, using F/OSS would have been the second best alternative. The best alternative was the original software tool that was developed in-house, which was tossed out.
You can't remake Diablo and expect great sales. Diablo was great because it was a good game *and* it was groundbreaking. Titan's Quest was ok, and it certainly wasn't ground breaking.
Torchlight is even worse. It's Diablo with some fish and a pet.
Game developers, yes it's easy and safe to make a game clone. But I've played those games, and not very long ago.
There are two games I'd like to see made into modern equivalents, Magic Carpet and Populous.
I seriously doubt Rush Limbaugh ever said he would leave the US if the bill was pass. But feel free to prove me wrong, got a quote or a radio clip somewhere?
That 3rd world country is living off the fruits of medical care developed in the 1st world countries.
The reason the medicine had gotten so cheap was market pressure to find ways to *make* it cheap.
That pressure is now gone. If there's anywhere else in the world that has a medical market system like the US used to have, then we can expect new treatments from them. Otherwise, this is pretty much it.

Yeah, I'll just hop on www.china.com and order that stuff!
Could you at least give us a starting point? Something that covers a little less area than "Somewhere in China"?
Are you really seeing a service that the government provides as "Free"? Seriously?
This looks very promising. Thank you so much for posting the link.
The elusive "Platinum cat" market! No one has managed to crack that nut yet.
Find a way to sell to them, and the world is your oyster.

Why are you coughing and being oblique?
Stop being a pussy and just say "We can solve this by destroying those companies."
You'd be wrong, of course. But sheesh, say what you mean.
Yeah. Do you think Oracle has any interest in developing those VMs? Or if a new OS comes out, will they write a new VM for it?
Budget time is coming! You know, removing OS/X and Linux VM development would save Oracle some cash.
I thought crumple zones were to absorb kinetic energy?
Otherwise the force transfers to you and you get thrown around the car extremely violently.
That sounds great! Got 100k I can borrow and the ability to implant the Agricultural knowledge into my head?
Better make that 200k.
"Not without violating international law, which prevents territorial claims on the moon."
You have a profound lack of insight on how laws come about.
He now owns as much of the moon as he can control. About as much as I do.
Nah. Futurama references can really take an analogy where it was never meant to be:

Titan's Quest was boring.

This is just ONE of the reasons buses and trains/subways are worse than automobiles.
Vulnerable to government budgets.
No.
It also doesn't mean "Create a Welfare State"
The context you're using it in would mean that *anything* that can improve a person's life should be provided by the government.
I seriously doubt Rush Limbaugh ever said he would leave the US if the bill was pass. But feel free to prove me wrong, got a quote or a radio clip somewhere?
I doubt that.
No politician wants to be the one that "Takes away your free health care!"
At most they'll put on a show, say they "Really tried", and then go back to being the stupid party.
My thoughts? What do my thoughts matter? You brought up many good points, but are *any* of them addressed in the 2000+ pages of the bill?

What are you talking about? People spend time almost every day putting time into real businesses.
Not only do you have the right, but it's your responsibility to not comply with unjust laws.
I think the timing is far too coincidental to not be a business decision.
Um, making business decisions is pretty much what they do all day long.
Makes sense to me. Or do you expect people to be vitriolic against the employers? The same employers people will have to apply for work at?
Also, why is Mexico poor again? There's a wildly successful country across the border. Why not craft laws to be more like them?
You know what's also sad? Sad Puppies in the rain.
Did you have a point or do you enjoy letting people know your emotional state?
Given the option, of course boys are going to choose video games over basically any other activity.
No. Video games are so popular because there's a reward inherent in them.
Because of the increasingly sterilized and restrictive lives they lead, this is their only outlet.
Yeah, a more correct comparison would be to use the technologies and software from 15 years ago.
