Are you trolling? You are actually in favour of requiring every games company to submit the game to the bureaucrats at FTC before it can be released? Damn, democrats are really anti-free market and pro big government.
In the end it's all about the product, it's functionality and aesthetic qualities. And I really wish Microsoft would wakr up and start making software I wont be embarrassed to put on my computer.
His kid is playing the wrong game. The real way to turn a 3 y/o into a macho is to play Battlefield until his eyes hurt. That will teach him not to be a sissy!

I disagree, I believe there is nothing wrong with making this information public and easily available through the use of modern technology. After all they have been found guilty by the people of the United States.
But I also believe in forgiveness and starting a new life. But a new life can not be started with a lie, how can you hope to start a new life somewhere if deep inside there will always be fear that someday you new upstanding citizen self will be outed and your life ruined? Forgiveness is not automatically given by siting in a jail cell, forgiveness and respect must be earned, slowly through good deeds and it must begin with letting your new neighbors know about your past sins. Only then you can truly start with a clean consciousness.
Sure, I have Xbox360 and it's an amazing system and I do play Bioshock and COD4 AND Orange Box on it. But I'm also putting together a windows gaming machine, because no console runs Crysis now, probably because no console can match the power of SLI 8800 system. Consoles don't offer anything for a wargames and strategy games fan. I've been playing TacOps since 1994, I must own a PC to play it and Combat Mission and Civ4.
What about the grand daddy of Free Software - Emacs? This fine program seem to defeat all you points regarding lean and mean FS vs slow feature creep of proprietary.
I'm from Russia. I know you have previously blamed Putin for this but isn't it a problem with indigenous languages everywhere else in the world? For instance there Native American languages with less than 10 speakers left. It is sad but I think everywhere in the world they are doomed in the face of the dominant economic and cultural power.
I agree that at-will system can be abused by the business owners and worker rights can shield incompetent employees. So it's a balancing act, which I believe in the end should tip more towards workers rights. Because if we ask the question who's more likely to abuse the system the answer will be whoever has more power over the other party is more likely to abuse that power.
It's just your lifestyle choice. Ignoring nightlife, making dinner with your wife and spending every night with you family (so you actually get to know your kids) is just as valid. Small towns are simp[ly more raising a family oriented.
Since I live in Novosibirsk I'm also slightly suprised by the choice of the location.
1) Novosibirsk is a major transportation hub on the TSR.
2) Novosibirsk is on the OB river that has more commercial importance than Angara
3) As it has been already said Novosibirsk is home to the prestigious NSU and the SORAN (Siberian branch of the russian academy of sciences). We alredy have Intel compiler group and Sun offices here.
It's just a show for the West, Kasparov and his "Other Russia" party is really the same 3000-5000 people that travel from town to town on buses and trains organizing their political shows along the way. I know that it's not romantic and downright pedestrian but Russians do indeed like Putin for bringing order and economic prosperity, much like Singaporeans support their "managed democracy" authoritarian regime.
As someone who is actually a Russian living in Russia I have to say that these opposition meeting are nothing but staged shows for western press (helpfully invited beforehand to film the "police atrocities", and yet another arrest of poor G. Kasparov for gross hooliganism, only to be released a few hours later, it's has become almost a part-time job for him). These people really have a as you say "a snowball's chance in hell" to be elected for anything yet alone President. And their party despite flooding mailboxes with their weekly political spam still is less popular than American Communist Party in America.
So what does it tell us? That people are more than willing to choose substance over style and easily dump Apple to buy players with comparable specs if they cost less. This is really bad news for Apple.
This is not insightful, I don't know WHAT country he is describing, but it is certainly NOT Russia I live in. Whatever the opposition that has single digit support wants us to believe, every micro and macro economical indicator show that we are doing just fine economically. Either that or I cant just look out of my apartment window in Novosibirsk and see the great progress we have made since Putin came to power.
When I was in high school in the Soviet Union around 1992 a friend of mine built one. He used a regular broken sewing needle for the tip, the idea was that when you break a needle the resulting surface is not smooth and there are bumps with a single atom on top.
What an amazingly uninsightful response for someone with such a low uid! I bet I can right a 10 line bot in Perl to simulate your intelligence - "I dont use feature X, so feature X is not useful!". Which a useless tautology, unless you care to back up you personal anecdotes with some statistics, I don't know why you wasting bits keeping us informed on your insignificant personal habits?
I don't know what country your are from but here in Europe people take pics with their camera phones all the time, and send mms to each other, because while 2.0+ mp shots may not look great on photo paper, they still look VERY GOOD on a small screen.
I'm Russian and I have nothing against Poles. But as you it has already been pointed out the Russian space program is self-financing through commercial launches and the last thing the poor need is handouts from the government. e have a lot of expertise in space industry, it's not just an expensive nationalistic hobby, losing it would be very short sighted. The poor will be taken care of naturally by the expanding economy, I live in Siberia and the investor money previously confined to the Moscow metro area has finally started
spilling into the regions like a flood.
You're right about the nationalism tho, despite Putin's authoritarianism there is an overall feeling of well-being, stability and growth in the minds of the people, and that makes them proud and nationalistic. I don't really know how to feel about that...

Does it really say Moscow? Because it was St. Petersburg (the imperial capital of Russia at the time), not Moscow that "escaped" destruction. Check out the map http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Russia-CIA_WFB_Map--Tunguska.png
Are you speaking from personal experience, because I think tornado only works on splicers.

Exactly, and it is very scary. If such a database were available people without records could move into the same much safer neighborhood.

I must be brief. The Taleban spies know about the Commodore.

However there have been numerous studies that clearly shoed that smokers are not a net burdent on society financially.

It was part of the interview, one more puzzle if you wish. You were supposed to figure out how to get into these buildings. Happened to more too :(
