Have a question for everyone:
What would happen to the gaming world at large if Sony was to start developing games for Linux? Would developers support Sony? Would Linux gaming become a very viable option? How would it impact windows gaming?
Hay dickhead, I am an American. Borne and raised in northern Virginia.
Lets be honest here...collectively Americans are dumb. They don't know shit about internal afiars let alone world affairs.
As for my comments regarding foreigners...its f'ing true. I can't site here and say nothing with all these idiots in here bashing foreigners.
I fail to realize why a billion dollars has to be spent on tapping underwater cables when you can do it on land node on one end.
Money being wasted again...what a shock!
They can't simply phase out 35mm movies if Movie Theaters don't buy digital projectors to show their movies. If they try to force the issue it will definitely affect their bottom line and we all know no one is stupid enough to cut their own air supply.
It seems theaters are refusing to buy those digital cameras and rightly so. They definitely have the upper hand.
I would liken this situation to that of DVDs and VHS. The base for VHS is just too big of a base to simply abandon. DVDs are becoming more affordable and people are buying them like hotcake now. Same thing will happen when digital projectors become inexpensive.
You all should get out of your left wing biases for a second to realize that Nader isn't well respected in many circles. He is reviled as a Socialist nutcase by the Right and Libertarians at a minimum as a general rule consider him to be a clueless luddite (hmm isn't that being redundant?)
I've always liked what he had to say but never actually voted for him because I didn't think he had a chance to win. In the next election I will in fact vote for him. A lot of people are tired of the Democrats and will vote Green.
Remember people, Bush and his people decide WHERE the money will be spent, Congress merely allocates it.
You slept through your high school government class didn't you?
Congress can introduce legislation deciding WHERE money can be spend and have the president sign it. The president can refuse and veto it but even a freshmen congressman can present appropriation bill to the floor.
Rubbish! One never unlearns. That world shouldn't be in the English dictionary! You always build on experience. If a new paradigm presents itself you ditch the old one but you never throw it away completely. You used it to support the newfound paradigm and legitimize it.
Late in his life Sir Isaac Newton was asked how he was able to accomplish such great things. He replied: "I stood on the shoulders of giants."
Know a little bit of everything but make sure you specialize in two or three things.
I spent/spend many evenings at Boarders just reading...understanding everything right away isn't important as long as you familiarize yourself with concepts, principles, and their usefulness.
The BBC, yes that bastion of neutrality and honest reporting!
As apposed to FOX News? Yeah the likes of Rush, G-Gordon and the whole Fox gang are the pillar of neutrality and honest reporting!
But since you automatically place all people who don't think just like you and share your politics in the idiot category, you probably see the BBC as a source of journalistic integrity and honesty or maybe even right wing.
All I was saying is that if you are going to call a whole group of people weak minded you should look at your own back yard first.
Here what the right wing stand for:
1. No gun control whatsoever...they can't even wait a lousy 3 days to get their hands on a gun.
2. They apposed genetic research.
3. To them global warming is a fabrication.
4. You are automatically labeled a communist if you want to help other people.
5. And my favorite...they are for the death penalty but at the same time they claim to be pro-life.
weak-minded??
The weakest minds in the world are here in America (right wing are 40 million strong). Typical American!
There are areas in the world where people live a simple life but that doesn't mean they are weak-minded. They probably know more about world affairs than your typical American thanks to the BBC.
Which is harder to learn English or Chinese? You underestimate peoples intelligence.
Never Underestimate the power of stupid people is large groups
Yeah and you are at the forefront of that group...Once more you prove that collectively, Americans are as dumb as an Ox.
Oh yeah and one more nugget for you: A recently published study said that 40% of American scientist and engineers are naturalized citizens (foreigners).
"On our behalf by the FCC or Better Business Bureau."
You are joking right? FCC is not going to do squat didly until they are told to by the politicians in Washington and since most politicians are bought and paid for by the corporations they won't lift a finger to stop them.
As for the BBB, they are a joke of an organization. Talk about your self-preserving organization. They might as well put Co. at the end of their name. Have you tried them? Try them and see what I am talking about. Oh, and most of their people are NRA lunatics.
I met Tom Davis a couple of times and he seemed like a cool guy but like all the SOBs in congress they have to stick with the party line or no money for your campaign.
Both my father and I voted for him even though we are democrats...well he'll have at least one less votes in the next election. We're going to vote independent come November.
The system has failed...it has become scratch my back I'll scratch yours.
This what you should say/ask:
It seems that major cable companies in Australia are implementing limits on the amount of bandwidth a user can use per a month...in essence returning to the pay-per-minute internet subscription model. My question is will you sponsor, or even better, present a legislation that would stop such a thing from happening here in the United States since the industry lacks competition.

Dull Troll.

They don't seem to comprehend the GPL. Maybe they should read the damn license first!
I mean really...it looks like a frigging go-cart.
that's fucking sick!
Well now everyone knows they have sub underwater and can tap cables so what is the point?
I am an American! Is it really shocking to have an American criticize America?

yep...but there are few people out there that sill like LPs.
A friend of mine is a DJ and he is now pimping a digital scratch table.
Everyone is being swept by the Digital Bug.

If someone can get fired for buying Oracle then someone can get fired for buying MS.
Bingo!
The government is in a big swimming pool filled with corporations and there's a lot of back scratching going on.
I couldn't get Win 2K running on my home machine without it crashing once per hour.

Only if you haven't done it before. It gets easier with experience.
Of course there are times when technical difficulties present themselves. That's when you realize they don't pay you 100+ grand for nothing!

This is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard! Go to a doctor and get a health/mental check.
