That's why they were going on about heterogeneity, monoculture, and such, and the fact that Microsoft deliberately tries to prevent interoperability to increase their market share. The worms and viruses are able to do as much damage as they do in large part because of Microsoft's market share.
Here is the word from NTT. They talk about using the chips in communications satellites and radar. The expected higher reliability would really be a plus in military and space applications.
You could say that but it wouldn't make it true. Right wing paranoia again. I've seen the reverse just as often, it depends on the views of the first people to read the post that have mod points.
He was the main backer of the legislation needed to take the internet from what it was then to what it is now. That is what he meant, though it was twisted by Drudge and Limbaugh and their ilk and repeated gleefully by all those media-types who are too lazy to do their own research and verify quotes, who already didn't like Gore anyway because he's not a glad-hander.
I have contributed directly to support Salon and Sluggy Freelance because I don't want to lose them, and I have bought merchandise to help support other sites. It seems to be working so far.
I admire your adaptability. I'm not sure I would have been able to make that choice, as I would have to fight shyness as well as introversion. I took electronics and became a tech; there are a lot of people like me in that field, but most of them are male.
-1 troll, but I'll bite.
I am a woman, I've never been a chick, and I learned to see through phonies like you early on. What you describe is not socializing, it's using.
Thinking categorically about everything is a normal way of dealing with the complexity of the universe. If you tried to deal with the world around you without sorting things according to various perceived charateristics you'd find it nearly impossible to do for very long, though this might be a good definition of the Zen state of Satori. The mistake is in expecting things or people to stay in their pigeonholes, or in assuming you have placed them in the right ones to begin with.
How did an introvert ever end up in (shudder) sales! The very idea of having to deal with multitudes of people I don't know every day gives me the willies.
People at work sometimes give me shit about talking to myself, but sometimes verbalizing a problem either to myself or someone else allows me to find another way to look at it.
Meyer's Briggs score at different times ENTP and INTP, getting more I as I get older, I think.
This is why I don't bother to read unmoderated discussion sites. Also there is no reason critics can't review open content as well as closed, and I will just rely on the opinions of those I trust, or a community I trust. And WRT the responsibility of closed content providers to verify the validity of their content, many seem to have abdicated that responsibility in the last few years, but since they are attacking elected officials they are unlikely to be sued.
How are you going to enforce collection of this tax? Sounds like a great opportunity for P2P smuggling. Software companies can also easily claim that the coding was done in the U.S. if they keep a small front operation here.
Her attitude about it is probably also influenced by how much of a leadership role she is used to IRL, as she probably identifies more with the female characters. I am a lead in my workplace, so I'm used to people asking me for my opinion and doing what I say. I might find myself behaving in a different way if I played a male character. I almost always play females in RPGs though, usually paladins or warrior types.
The point of the article was that women didn't want to play this game, and the lack of a storyline that would appeal to them is a huge factor. As a female gamer, I have to agree, though I tend to prefer RTSes and and TBSes anyway.
I was an adult during the seventies (still am, for the most part), and I don't remember anything about global cooling coming up. People were most concerned about the possibility of running out of fossil fuels, and the loss of habitat for many species of animals.
Since then there has been much speculation about the possibility of global warming causing glaciation in some parts of the world by changing the ocean currents.

But why should the RIAA make money from music that DOESN'T belong to them?

Sorry, didn't preview. I meant of course that it was Drudge's version that got repeated by the lazy and somewhat malicious media-types.

Many of us who could qualify for Mensa don't bother to join. Why? Because we are Introverts.

The alcohol would be boiled away. You could make a tasty sauce out of it though.
Here ya go.

PC has nothing to do with it. We are just tired of being ignored as a part of the gaming public. kneejerk much?
