HTC isn't German. HTC made the first Android phone, which is sold as HTC Dream, T-Mobile G1, and Android Dev Phone 1. HTC isn't German. The HTC Dream and Androidn Dev Phone are not locked at all. And I'm note completely sure the T-Mobile G1 is even provider locked. More Android phones, from multiple vendors, are on its way.
a 'sin tax' of sorts similar to that levied on cigarettes
Can you please explain what part of playing a violet game is a sin? I can understand a tax on tobacco and alcohol, both have a clear and quite direct negative side effect on you and the people around you. But what makes a violent video game different from a other video game? The simulated violence? How about real violence shown on the news and "reality" shows? Isn't real violence worse than simulated violence?
I guess I forgot a clear punch-line. The point I was trying to make is that even though Ubuntu never had support as long as XP, is that it's not a major issue as it is with a proprietary OS.
2003 to 2009 is longer than any version of Ubuntu is supported. It's had a nice life. Shoot it in the head, and move on:-)
Yes, but does Ubuntu of 2009 run on the machine of 2003? How much does an Ubuntu upgrade cost? Can you hire somebody to fix bugs in your 2003 version of Ubuntu? Can you get "new" copies of your 2003 Ubuntu and install them on new machines?...
Same thing happened with the Mass Effect patch for the PC. Vista's explorer would crash when I tried to do any operation on on an executable except start it. Right click -> crash Press delete -> crash Ctrl+C -> crash
Took me hours to figure out it was caused by the Mass Effect patch.
The cost of a game for the latest consoles is over twice that â" $25 million is typical, and it can be much more. Reggie Fils-Aime, chief marketing officer for Nintendo of America, says publishers of games for its Wii console need to sell one million units of a game to turn a profit
Cost for the developers is $25m, need to sell 1m units at $50-$60. So, what happens with the other $25-$35? I'm assuming the licensing fees to make a console game are included in the $25m. So that leaves, physical production, logistics, and the retailer cut. Those 3 things really make up 50% of the price tag? Maybe that's something that has to be fixed. A lower price tag often has a positive influence on the number of units sold.
As for OnLive going to change things, who's going to pay for OnLive's hardware, and software licenses? Right, their subscribers. Will OnLive get more relaxed licensing terms than normal customers (i.e. don't require a license for each subscriber)? Probably, but when 1000 people want to play game X at one time you still need 1000 licenses at that time.
Of all things that could be optimized, urls shouldn't have a high priority (unless you want people to enter them manually). I'm pretty sure their HTML, CSS, and javascript could be optimized way more than just their urls. But rather than simply sites, people often what it to be filled with crap (which nobody but themselves care about).
ps, that doesn't mean you should try to create "nice" urls instead of incomprehensible url that contain things like article.pl?sid=09/03/27/2017250
Or at least, I don't see this at all. I know a few people who have been creating music for quite some time. And most of the time they didn't get paid.
Also, I and a bunch of others organize a festival (*) every year on the campus of the University of Twente. The performers don't receive any payment, maybe a compensation for fuel. Not getting paid at all hasn't stopped the performers from wanting to show up and show their creative talent.
And to extrapolate this beyond music creators. Not receiving royalties hasn't stopped from people creating mods for computer games. It hasn't stopped creators of open source software.
The only people who are stopped by not receiving royalties are people who are in it for the royalties.
*) it's not a big festival, only about 1000-1400 guests. But compared to other student organized parties it's the biggest event. It's completely organized by people in their spare time. Nobody gets paid to do anything.
Indeed, nothing new. For example Epic Games has the "no-commercial mods" rule for years. It pretty much comes down to, "if you want to use our tools, runtime (i.e. te game) and content then you are not allowed to charge people for it".
Although, they don't have a "no begging" rule. And actually, I don't think I ever saw a mod for an Epic Game contain any begging.

mod parent up!
Without lined pockets we would have no music at all.

ps, yes I know there was no Ubuntu in 2003.
Apparently it doesn't. So, tinyarro isn't very fail safe.

I wonder if this works on /.
So, who's next? SecuROM, Valve, ... basically every DRM that uses online activation?
I'm still waiting for the Beta release
1 down, but on the wrong side of the UIDs
I doubt it, I don't have The Maker and I'm pretty sure I started a comment thread more than once.
I think The Maker is received when you reply to a news story you submitted.
I wonder if there is also an achievement for getting all achievements.

So, the can save 30% by being original? (or use very old "IP", like Dante's Inferno)

Wow, they have actual screenshots of the commandline interface. Who would have thought that was possible.

Is this "probable cause" thing required for a search warrant in Germany? Or are you trying to apply US law to a different country?
For what company do you work?
I'm sure we can figure something out.

You will always have this problem where input and output share the same space. The obvious solution is to separate input from output.
More people living longer. Like the current population doesn't cause any problems in the world.

So that's where my right sock is
