If the BSA are going to be a watch dog, the needs to open their books so everyone can see where their money is coming from and make sure that they are not overpaying executives and being abusive in their practices.
Seriously, most people don't change so the first time I caught this guy outright lying I would have dumped him (and changing your resume is not a mistake or an oops). Who knows what other lies he is telling to other people, I would steer clear.
I hate when companies lose their focus like this and worry about marketing initiatives instead of their core focus, making the game. Once they are putting ads in the game, then instead of trying to make the game better it will creep that they need to get you to look at the ads. And all the while the game is not any cheaper and now they are starting to degraded the game as well. I could see ads in some games if they made the game cheaper and better, but for the most part it makes the gaming company lose their focus and produce a poor product.
Someone at Mozilla needs to read Mythical Man Month. Trying to guess what you need to do to get the right context so you can get the menu item you want is silly.
in the end, the people who are going to make decisions are people and most of them have no idea if a Programmer is a good or bad one. If you don't make sure people know what you are contributing you are asking for it. Especially if you have to work in a place with a low ethical standard where people will take credit for your work without even a second thought.
your not, you are just illustrating my point. There is no reason for Windows to be so obtuse to require a clean install to fix it. They need to get rid of the registry.
I have a copy of gentoo running mythtv that I have been running for 8 years and completely changed the hardware out twice (even an amd to intel cpu switch). I expect that it will last as long as I want it too without any re-installs.
Maybe middle managers have that mindset, but good business men are always looking for their next big upside. And they would not make movies at all if they were risk adverse.
New Line made $6 billion and tried to screw Peter Jackson and the Tolkien Trust what they were owed (actually I still think they got screwed being paid $220 million). Instead of letting Jackson and the Hobbit make them a new pile of money, New Line tried to keep it all themselves. Have to wonder why the management of New Line still has a job making business decisions like that. Shareholders should be angry it has taken this long to settle holding up the next movie. And anytime anyone wants to give me $6 billion dollars for a $220 million payment and what ever Jackson got, and the potential for a new big pile of cash let me know there would be no waiting or bad faith like New Line.

No piracy, problem solved.
it is almost like the spider evolved because of the challenge to be vegetarian (or omnivore) more than vegetarian being an easy food source.
why stop there? Maybe he is tired of being a man and wants to BECOME his own grandmother!
More interesting would be who got it right with windows xp and windows vista reviews.

This guy sounds like he hates programming. I would not be surprised if he changed jobs soon.
to make his company profitable again. And he is an idiot, he can update robots.txt any time he wants to opt-out of any search engine.
Would be nice to know who the sellouts are.

You could have these people called "police" patrol areas. And if there is a crime they would already be there!

those are two must have books.
will it open a portal to hell like Carmack's space project?
The person who wrote this story cannot even normalize the pricing, if they work for IBM they don't have a chance at all.
ABS was developed first for airplanes.

Would that make all the demons from hell into sad flowers that need a hug?

That tells me all I need to know. When I find a game I might be interested in, if I see EA was involved I won't buy it. Fool me once.
Let them just update their robots.txt files to prevent google from indexing them if they have such a problem with millions finding their content.

What has New Line done? I would say ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, but profit off the hard work of others.
