Ah, you're right. Thanks. I was just trying to get back from the "wrong" part of the mantra. Thanks for the correction... the rest of my post still stands. (:
Second, ever hear of trends analysis? Their company is founded on information storage and retreival. Why WOULDN'T they keep all of the information from their business ad infinitum?
That would be like asking why the NFL keeps track of scores from 40 years ago. "None of the players are still playing now, so why do the scores matter? Dump em!"
The logic he's using actually makes some sort of sense.
He comes upon two street vendors, and checks out what they're selling. Both are selling burned CDs with bubblejet printed labels in plain black jewel cases. One person is selling Windows XP Pro Corp for 10 dollars a copy. The other person is selling RedHat Linux for 10 dollars a copy. He knows that both are operating systems, and therefore they should cost way more than 10 dollars. Therefore, in his mind, both people are pirating software, and should be taken to jail.
How is a random Joe supposed to tell the difference between "legal" software selling, and "illegal" software selling? Unless he knows all about OSS, what software falls under it, and the terms of the GPL, he's going to want to arrest everyone selling homemade CDs on the street.
I'm not really sure where you're coming from on this. The UK is part of the EU, according to http://europa.eu.int/abc/governments/index_en.htm. Is this something that most English people don't know? That would be a lot like the United States not knowing that we were part of North America.
True, but if you just spent $300 or more on a brand new video card, expecting it to support HDCP (because the spec sheet says so!) and it turns out you'll have to buy a newer new video card that actually supports it, you've just wasted $300.
That's the problem, and the source for the next big class action lawsuit.
Well, I got the joke. Dunno why nobody else did. (:
For everyone else: Retro Studios developed Metroid Prime, the 3d first person version of Metroid for the Gamecube. So based on the title of the article, the parent was looking for Metroid Prime rip-offs.
I'd give you mod points, but I had to respond instead. Sorry!
Something they do every weekend there is a "picture of 10 items" contest... This week, they're doing the "100 things" list, and showing off their favorite "10 things" pictures. None of the pictures have anything to do with the list, they're just filler.
If you start typing in the "To:" box, either the first name, last name, or email address of the contact you want to send it to (and you should know one of those three, I'd hope) it starts an autocomplete list below the cursor that you can choose from once you've got it signifigately narrowed down. It really is easy.

Hey, it worked for AOL.

When you said "This thread is going to be filled with astroturfing", you specifically meant your comment, right?
Ya, that's what I thought.
First, it's "Do no evil"

Can you blame him?
Too late, he's already surgically removed his own brain, which has lead to this ruling.

OK, bad example.

Well sure, other than the fact that you don't need a prescription for more ram...

The fact that it's her lawyer's blog helps the case against the submitter, though.
Or in South Korea...
heh, I guess in South Korea, only old people watch Google Videos.
I agree. They should know that it only takes a user 50 ms to decide that they don't like a look of a site... as shown three times here. (:
Because people are idiots and "too" lazy "to" take the time to write it right. (:
Someone who is so concerend about typos and grammar and stuff should really learn how to use a shift key. "I" should be capitalized.
Oh right, you'll never read this. Oh well.
The words "to" and "too" are "two" completely different words.
To: I'm going *TO* a location, or mailing a letter TO someone.
Too: I am mailing a letter *TOO*, as in "also." I think people should take care of how they spell things too.
Hope that clears that up a little bit. (:

Ever done a google image search for "third nipple"? (: Seems like it's fairly common to get your third nipple pierced if you have one!
