The first phase of a Microsoft-funded project to create software that can convert Microsoft Word documents between Open XML and Open Document Format (ODF) has been completed.
Unfortunately, when you run it, it starts off with, "Hi! It looks like you're trying to convert a Microsoft Word Document! Would you like some help?"
The former engineer in Apple's BSD Technology Group has already shipped a fix for a nasty flaw in Java's GIF image decoder and hints an an auto-updating mechanism for the third-party patches.
Windows has an auto-updating mechanism for "third-party patches". It's called Internet Explorer.
The idea seems simple. Provide feedback for your government via the internet. If enough people sign a petition, address it. That was the idea when an e-Petition site was launched in Nov 06 for Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Well, online wine delivery never really took off in the States, I hope the Brits have better luck.
This unprecedented natural disaster has become so bad that geophysicists now plan to enact an untested scheme to try and slow the flow: dropping concrete balls into the volcano.
They've got a lot of balls, trying something like that.
Finally, you can hump it over to a nearby ballista which you can use to first attack the big statue guy and then to launch yourself on to him. Once you mount the statue
I think the video game industry needs to stop bankrolling projects off a few blockbuster titles, and instead bankroll them from a massive library of reliable inexpensive titles.
This is actually nothing like a Fresnel lens. Fresnel lenses are based on refraction and tend to give horrible image quality since they have a whole bunch of concentric rings.
'I mean, granted, everything is relative -- so yes, in a market where the average 360 game sells around 5,000 copies, 30,000 or so may seem like a big deal, but at the end of the day, their userbase is not expanding. The week Gears came out they only sold a little over 7,000 pieces of hardware. It's not enough.'
Microsoft needs to get on the ball and release their Zephyr hardware revision, with HDMI, 120GB drive, and integrated HD-DVD. People know it's coming, and so they're probably waiting for it.
Daniel Giersch, a German-born 32-year old entrepreneur, has just announced that his company received a positive ruling last week from the Harmonization Office supporting his claim that "Gmail" and his own "G-mail" are confusingly similar.
That's not something a few hundred million dollars can't fix.
Of course, they still need to generate revenues to continue operations. Perhaps the whole idea of 'commercials' or even 'advertising' as a revenue source will evolve to include other yet-un-thought-of sources much like the distribution medium.
The British have already figured this one out. They generate revenues by billing everyone that owns a TV £135.50 per year.
California Assemblyman Llyod Levine wants to make his state the first to ban incandescent lightbulbs with the "How Many Legislators Does it Take to Change a Lightbulb Act"
It takes a vote of more than half of the legislative body considering the measure. The full Assembly requires a majority vote of 41 and the full Senate requires 21, based on their memberships of 80 and 40 respectively.
Quite aside from the legal ramifications of attacking other people's web forums, should game companies tolerate forms of 'play' that involve out of game illegality?
Is it not so simple as just saying that violation of state or federal law is also a violation of the TOS?

Of course, on said ocean planets inhabited by cetaceans one could exclaim: "Admiral, there be whales here."
Or more likely, "It's a trap"
You left out this one:

We already have a genre for "Magic Fiction." Fantasy.
I thought that was the genre for those novels at the supermarket with Fabio on the cover?

I like how the locals blame the oil companies on the volcano erupting.
Actually, someone fed the Volcano God some cheese. Sherman's lactose intolerant.

Is this God of War: Brokeback edition?
People buy console games used (I almost always do), which fairly demolishes the Long Tail.
Ah, but the long tail is alive and well with the X360 Marketplace, Wii marketplace, and so on.
Would a CS Degree Be Good for Someone Over 30?
That depends. How are you at headshots with an AWP?
I think the video game industry needs to stop bankrolling projects off a few blockbuster titles, and instead bankroll them from a massive library of reliable inexpensive titles.
Ah yes, the gaming equivalent of the Long Tail.
Innovative, Original Games Have No Chance
Well then. Since that's settled, Let me get back to Madden 2008: Platinum edition.

You misspelled "burn the shit out of stuff"
This is someone who never played TradeWars back in the day.
Or Eve online, back in today.
They have designed an 'origami lens' which will slim high resolution cameras.
What they don't mention is that they had to fold space/time to do it.

According to one of the trustees, the Trust 'could still change its mind if there was a public outcry and it was backed up by evidence.'
What if there's a public outcry and it's backed up by drunken rioting?

Welcome our overlord... overlords?
We require more overlords.
You clearly might be able to "vaguely expect" something. That's possibly obvious to almost everyone!
Your explanation is perfectly cromulent. You've embiggened all of us with your knowledge.
