True enough, but no scientist can afford to own a modern research lab. Just as no baseball player at the start of his career can own a baseball team/league. The difference is the baseball player has a decent chance of earning enough to buy a team eventually:).
Don't forget it's a country where someone who's good at hitting a ball with a stick can make $10 million a year and someone who can develop a cure for cancer is lucky to make $100k a year.
You cause kill a nursing home patient through gross negligence and get about 10% of the fine you get for showing a breast for 1/4 second during the superbowl.
The LSL games were big hits if they sold 20,000 units. Games today have to sell millions to be considered sucessful. Targetting the larger market means they aim for the lowest common denominator.
Those Sierra adventure games were and still are my favourite games.
You have no idea what the word "communist" means. Why don't you go look it up?
The US is moving towards a police state, which China, to a large degree, already is. The US is more capitalistc than ever (capitalism is the opposite of communism).
Definately. Mine's been dropped from ear-level to concrete several times and it's still working perfectly. I also tend do just throw it in my backpack with no case. The new phones look so fragile, and there's always talk of models with micro hard drives. Cell phones should durable enough to have with you all the time.
I'm still using my 5 year old Nokia 5100. I do like the look of the tiny clam shell phones, but they're too bloated with crappy features to be usable. There's no phone on the market now I've seen that I'd trade my old nokia for.
I prefer to start out with a fairly simple introductory book and also get a good reference book that assumes you know the language. In the case of PHP, I skipped the reference and just visit php.net.
A book like the one being reviewed tries to do too much. When you're starting out, you don't want a a lot of detailed library stuff getting in the way. Once you've got the basics done, you don't want a book that teaches it like a course, you want a reference.
Skpe charges 30 Eur per year. Vonage charges $25/month. That's a huge difference. A skype wifi cell phone clone is around $100.
So if Vonage is offering the same service, you'd have to be an idiot to sign up with Vonage.
All I know about Vonage is the horrid, obnoxious commercials that have made sure I'll never use the service.
From those commercials, it seems they sell you a box that lets you use your own broadband connection for voice and then charge a high monthly fee to use it. Wouldn't it be the same as using Skype for free (or very cheap if you want a phone number)?
So far, no PS3 games have ever been pirated, but if they'd launched last fall like they'd intended, you can bet the torrents would be full of PS3 games. It seems to me that thier plan is working flawlessly. Something that doesn't exist is unhackable.
It's not like the games will use the large capacity discs any time soon. You don't know whether blue-ray or hddvd will win, so why would you spend $300 more now for a feature you won't use for a couple of years and might flop in the meantime?
Supreme Court justices can only be replaced when they die or choose to retire. The government has no control over them once they're appointed, as it should be.

Then GPL and other open source licenses are all invalid. You don't pay anything for the software.
How about if you pirate software? You haven't paid for it, therefore you're not bound by the EULA restrictions.

It was both....such a low UID and such a long post. It took him all the time since he got the low UID to write that post.

The problem here is that even if he's right *and* he has the better lawyers, he's still out thousands of dollars to pay for those better lawyers.
By that logic, big business should always be lobbying for lower personal taxes.
This legislation is aimed to help average workers. There's little benefit for big business or legislators. It will never pass.
Strange. I saw the story on local TV news today and I did a quick search to find a web based article to submit.

I'm not calling it unhackable. I'm describing what Sony's attitude seems to be. I also think what Sony is doing is incredibly stupid.
I never said losing $1 Billion would hurt them. Just that they'd rather lose it than have someone not pay for their content.

Sony would rather lose $1 billion in actual lost sales than have $1 million of thier content pirated.
That's the choice they made, and the result they're seeing.
Who cares?

It gets MS in the door to give a sales pitch.
