what if their bonuses were tied to the average annual profit over the last ten years, and those bonuses started after working as an exec for a few years (and ended a few years after leaving).
if that were standard practice, then there would be a lot more care towards long term growth/stability and caring about finding the best person to hand over the reigns to when you left, since you'd be partially vested in his success...
I remember even hooking up a hypercard stack to run a laser disc player (click this button to play from x:xx to y:yy) and using it help with animation (it did rotation and movement of images very well) way back in 1994.
looking back, it really was an amazing program.
Whatever happened to the old field method of gunpowder and match cauterization...
can they really get these things to generate enough heat that quickly? wouldn't it be easier to just keep a nice chunk of titanium/copper etc and a way to superheat it? I mean, yeah it's basically civil war technology, but i don't really see how this is going to be cheaper, faster, or more reliable.
some super-computer/clussters use then cause they're cheap and require very little maintaince.
A couple years ago slashdot ran a piece on a "green" setup with thousands? of C3s in some dusty space by a university? that also had a "normal" super computer.
and how do you gaurantee other misc. software that's also on the system won't interact with it in a bad way? there's too many corner cases... such liability would only work with closed boxes built ground up (including a custom OS that'd be nice and expensive to build and secure and gaurantee).
besides, if regulation becomes too heavy here, why not just relocate to india and save some money and the hassles? liability insurance could also work, if software damages were actually measureable beyond hours of repair or insane overestimations pulled out of thin air.
I've used M-Audio and Cubase and had no problems... mixing 64 channels present 0 troubles. Crazy amount of plugins, drum machines, software synths also exist (if you're into that) and hardware support (for various I/O devices and cards) has been very good. (Only pro tools and its extremely costly software/hardware solutions seem to work better)
I didn't really think cool edit was meant for multi track editing.
on a normal one song download, i believe the artist/musician makes 20 cents (at least according to what i remember from the leaked CD baby contract details). In normal retail they make about a buck off an entire CD.
I don't think this guy has ever looked at Planescape: Torment... It's about the best game writing I've seen. A lot of the old SSI gold box games were pretty well written a well. If the gameplay sucks though, no one is going to give a second thought to how well written the plot might be.
Way to quote some random guy and talk about blue badges and go on for four sentences without giving any indication of what the conference is actually about.
lets see... for a year of 200gigs, that's $360 USD.
couldn't I jut buy a new hard drive every year or burn hundreds of DVDs for far far less? not to mention they'd be secure from whatever prying eyes or security holes an online backup provides.
I figure a lot of the losses have to due with the bombing of Madden among other sequels. The new features were almost non existant and the graphics and gameplay really haven't changed that much since 2001.
Maybe next year they'll have the new engine with skeletal animation and real physics etc that have been standard for 2-3 years now. I'm still surprised by the number of bugs present on what is essentially a game with 5+ years of dev time invested in it.
Of course they're branching off into an AFL football game and they've made Street ncaa etc... maybe the lack of dev focus on their core game, the differences between the 1000 iterations and versions, and the $20 competition has just caused widespread dissolution. It takes a lot more devs to make 10 crappy high profile games than it does to make one good one.
I know this is late, but is it possible someone started this rumor for that predictable 30% stock increase?
It seems like every "google is looking to buy..." story is plausible, and the results (if you had a day's notice on the rumor or possibly started it) are always profitable.
X-com, Nethack (Falcon's Eye version), Baldur's Gate II, Minesweeper...
And some fast stuff I really like: Sonic 3, Sonic 4, sonic and knuckles Alien Soldier (genesis) is one of the fastest games ever. Jazz Jackrabbit - fast pc side scroller Torus Troopers - fastest pc game (3d, with techno:P)
Planescape: Torment was amazingly well done, not much replay after getting all the way through, but it has to get a mention.
a lot of doctors use their keyboards with the latex gloves they just used to handle patients and in older patients (especially those undergoing weekly dialysis) the spread of virii/viruses can most definately kill.
i actually got two 19" crts (MAG innovision, they do 1024x768@85hz just fine and thats all i use) for 100$ each (150 -50$ rebate) two years ago... you can get new 17" crts for 60-80$ depending on the week (compusa/bestbuy/circuit city)... and they're actually good quality.
except she said she rode alone, but someone took pictures OF HER, and she didn't have a tripod... i imagine it'd be hard for me to take pictures of my back, but obviously she can cause you don't trust the guards;)

thousands of first hand experiences, sorted by laptop make/model and distro.
It has some very specific info on getting certain things like touchpads etc to work on some models that could save you HOURS of searching.

and what would stop you from using encryption and a gmail file system (GFS) instead for free (unlimited and forever) storage?

I have Cox (VA, USA) and they currently offer 15mbps/2mbps service to my house, and its actually a bit faster than that in practice.
Seriously, if you don't want something to see something, THEN WHY DID YOU PUT IT ON THE INTERNET TO BEGIN WITH???
;)
but no worries, its all cool cause we just found an excuse to pull the lever on the american justice jackpot

no you won't... at least, not anymore ;)
this isn't really a mirror, the pictures (the important part) aren't copied, but link to the original site, so they're all DOA.

unless they remember to correctly point out the halloween exemption, which you obviously didn't know about... ;)
Bin Laden bankrupted the USSR??? sorry, but it wasn't bin laden, it was the US (and their own system (crap work, crap pay, good work, crap pay)).
You're really giving to much credit to a guy that's done nothing but cave dwelling for nearly three years...
