I'd say the real decline in cd sales is the lack of musical creativity being produced which is, of course, directly related to the consumtion of drugs and alcohol.
All these Anti drug campaigns are having a negative impact on cd sales!
I doubt it will be game over for mircrosoft's xbox with their end goal being a microsoft box in your living room. With $40 billion in the bank, they can keep trying again and again and again. Somewhat like IE and netscape where Microsoft kept putting tons of effort into IE to compete with netscape..., but of course, netscape is nowhere near a Sony and Sony will definetly not fall off the face of the earth. Also, keep in mind that all pc games are fairly easy to port over to the xbox (minus the requirement changes of memory and such).
I believe Sony - as business strategists - are much more sophisticated than Microsoft, at least when it comes to electronics products...
Calling someone or a group of people moronic will in no way help them see any problems you present, but only cause them to get defensive and pissed off.
well, I don't think anyone will disagree that verant is a money grubbing company. However keep in mind, that verant was bought out by sony (according to the article) and that verant is pretty much sony now. or "Sony Online".
Now those links you post are from Jan 2000, but more importantly is this "mob see's through walls". I sincerely doubt that they put that feature in. They more or less didn't do the work required to fix it. However, there are quite a few additions to eq that are far worse than the info you have posted in terms of addiction.
Star wars is being produced by sony, hence they may fix the technical details, but they won't stop trying to get every single dollar from you.
I play eq, but I play eq because nothing else has sparked my interest (and I've tried almost all other mmropg's) AND eq is very addictive, it also holds social bonds. Perhaps Dragon Empires will tear me away.
I've been playing eq since it came out, and I've never seen that "close-to-level-up feature". nor have I heard it from anyone in my guild.
We're not calling you a liar. We're just demanding some sort of proof.
I'd say a good sysadmin is a reflection of good management. Good management will give sysadmins a fair amount of time installing a new product on the network. They don't require things done asap because they plan ahead.
whereas bad management says: I need to be able to use this product which works with this other product by tomorrow at 9:00am, and of course, it's 5:00pm today.
I'm not a sysadmin, I'm a programmer, but I saw a lot of this at my old job

I'll agree with that.
