Acutaly if you look at the announcement the breakdown is this:
Flying Lab Software
Game Development
Community
Customer Support
Server Operations
Sony Online Entertainment
Billing
Launcher
Retail Distribution
Localization
Marketing
Flying labs is doing their own servers, even their own fourms, they won't be paying SOE to host for them, SOE is doing the sales/billing side and localization, thats it.
PHP 5 not yet scheduled
The number of messages to the list requesting some sort of schedule or arrival date for PHP 5 seems to be steadily growing. Please note that there are yet no dates for anything to do with PHP 5, and there still may be a whole new PHP (4.4) before the road to 5 officially begins. If there are any announcements to be made you will find them on either the main PHP web site (www.php.net) , or they will be covered here in this summary (I promise!).
This is kind of what I thought of too. Even if it's just on a small scale it seems to me many companies would pay to have experments done for them in no/micro gravity. Or even sending their own scientist to do lab experments.
Yeah I can see that this has the potential of being a pain (advertisements constantly playing, like the TV's at Walmart)... Yet I can see some really useful applications.
How about a built in scanner so you can see how much something costs or keep track of how much you are spending?
Or a guide function showing you where a product is.
The first time I saw Heavy Metal, was late one night when I was up with the flu and had a high fever, I was flipping around looking for something to watch, and fell asleep.
Later I must have woke up and watched it, then fell back to sleep.
The next day I thought I had a really weird dream.
A couple days later at work I told someone about it and they said "Oh, that's Heavy Metal!"
Just a funny story...
DC Project I would like to see...

Instead of an infinite number of monkeys at typewriters, have a DC project randomly generate text, and see how long it takes to write Shakespeare.....
Pointless... Yes
But why not?
Yeah I guess I wasn't clear, I meant the cost of a blank DVD, without any content.
But this made me think about the Manufactors cost of diffrent media.
Like which is cheaper, a Cassette tape or a CD.
VHS Tape or DVD.
It seems to me that it would be a lot cheaper to make a cd/dvd blank than anykind of tape technology seeing as there are all kinds of moving parts vs a disk with coatings...
Of course demand makes CD/DVD with content more expencive to the consumer than the tape counterparts.
Wayne Fletcher at Philips's Southampton lab says SFFO will be ready for sale in two years. Chris Buma, who heads Philips's optical division at Eindhoven in the Netherlands, says discs can be made for "a few cents". The drives will initially cost around £70 but this is expected to fall.
I wonder how this price compares to costs to produce a DVD.
"Loosely speaking, a black hole is a region of space that has so much mass concentrated in it that there is no way for a nearby object to escape its gravitational pull."
How big is a black hole?
"The more massive a black hole is, the more space it takes up. In fact, the Schwarzschild radius (which means the radius of the horizon) and the mass are directly proportional to one another: if one black hole weighs ten times as much as another, its radius is ten times as large. A black hole with a mass equal to that of the Sun would have a radius of 3 kilometers. So a typical 10-solar-mass black hole would have a radius of 30 kilometers, and a million-solar-mass black hole at the center of a galaxy would have a radius of 3 million kilometers. Three million kilometers may sound like a lot, but it's actually not so big by astronomical standards. The Sun, for example, has a radius of about 700,000 kilometers, and so that supermassive black hole has a radius only about four times bigger than the Sun."

Its not the best/newest chip set, but seems to me it should be better than a GF2.

Just something to ponder on a Friday morning

According to the black hole FAQ at "http://cosmology.berkeley.edu/Education/BHfaq.htm l"
"Loosely speaking, a black hole is a region of space that has so much mass concentrated in it that there is no way for a nearby object to escape its gravitational pull."
How big is a black hole?
"The more massive a black hole is, the more space it takes up. In fact, the Schwarzschild radius (which means the radius of the horizon) and the mass are directly proportional to one another: if one black hole weighs ten times as much as another, its radius is ten times as large. A black hole with a mass equal to that of the Sun would have a radius of 3 kilometers. So a typical 10-solar-mass black hole would have a radius of 30 kilometers, and a million-solar-mass black hole at the center of a galaxy would have a radius of 3 million kilometers. Three million kilometers may sound like a lot, but it's actually not so big by astronomical standards. The Sun, for example, has a radius of about 700,000 kilometers, and so that supermassive black hole has a radius only about four times bigger than the Sun."
Doesn't sound like a point to me...
