Even if they don't see any improvement in sales, they'll probably save some money anyway. I strongly suspect the biggest factor that led to this was the additional cost of technical support incurred by starforce related issues/calls.
No kidding. I've been buying and using visa gift cards and using them for anonymous purchases, because of this very problem in the article. For internet orders though, my citibank card offers virtual credit card numbers, which are disposable, and does the trick.
I'll bite. I can't possibly believe you have more than 500 TB of legally ripped music. That would be well over 750,000 CDs. And, I can't imagine any sane user having the storage space for either the MP3s or the physical CDs themselves. Perhaps you meant 500 GB?
No... That's not quite right either. Joint Ventures are typically formed for this kind of strategic alliance.
Joint Ventures are typically owned by the parties involved, so, it's not exactly outsourcing...
I personally think once more research is done into this, they're going to realize that it's not the colds themselves, but, people overmedicated their children with over the counter pills with doses larger then recommended...
There's quite a few apps for windows that can ignore/bypass EDC/ECC. Or, even better, hack a linux-or-bsd dvd-rom driver to ignore ECC/EDC or any other error correction. That's what open source is for, right?
Well, assuming the image is from security camera footage, there's a technique to generate high resolution images by compositing multiple frames together. It was covered on slashdot previously, and, it was recently demonstrated on a recent episode of Killer Instinct, a new crime-drama on FOX.
Which brings up the point, do you really WANT to live 300 years?
Yes, Yes I do. I wish I could live forever...
I wish I could live long enough to see the exploration and colonization of planets outside of our solar system -- and, hopefully just long enough that we meet other intelligent life in the universe...
Actually, you're mistaken about the diskspace limitation. Windows XP (using NTFS) does support 2TB disk volumes. 64-bit Windows XP even supports volumes up to 256TB in size.
everything is cheaper on ebay. although, the quality and condition is often dubious. I've built quite a few low-power p3m/p4m/PM systems for my own home, and for family, mostly using 1.4 Ghz P4Ms (SL5ZH). They are fairly low power, and, generate only-just-enough-heat, that i've been able to run them fanless (with a huge heatsink, albeit). I've been very lucky with ebay, often being able to pick up my processors for 20~30 bucks. And, ever so often I manage to snipe a p3m for $5 bucks:) the ultra low voltage Pentium-Ms that I like are a bit rare on ebay though. I've only picked up one SL7F4 (the 1.1Ghz P-M ULV) on ebay, and I paid out of my nose for it (but, still cheaper then retail!) But, again, the quality is often not so good. I've gotten quite a few DOAs and processors that only lasted a few days before dying. But, such is the price of cheap processors:)
The consumer might not be benefitted directly, but, if this means that an small game company can turn a profit, and continue to churn out games, (games that it might not otherwise afford to produce), then, the consumer ultimately gets another iteration of a game that they may have enjoyed.
8 million bucks isn't that much.
just a drop in the bucket...
it's already around $1.3 billion a launch according to wikipedia , if i'm reading that article right.
Parent is modded funny, but, this is exactly what happened to the guy. Nowadays, instead of using a 'cherry picker' to do work on high-voltage lines, a helicopter and a harness is generally used, as helicopters tend to be more mobile and quicker... (and, as a side benefit, this method avoids this exact problem.)

At a $200 price point, I was already planning on buying a dozen of them, for christmas gifts for family and friends.
$50 means I can buy them for random people on the internet too.
On the N64 controller, very few games actually used both the Z button and the L/R button.
SO, it's not really that hard to work around.

That would rock!

3 gbps? Is that 375 MB/s? IDE/SATA doesn't support that! What's the point?
Damn Vogons!
And, I bet, the only reason they're not in the red last quarter was because they sold off most of it's chipmaking business.
Fucking ridiculous.

Of course you can. It's an option in the task manager. See here for an example.
That is what CPU affinity is for...
Just set which CPUs you want each process to use...
