It seems to me that if "analog (n)" was a variant of "analogue (n)", there would be a listing for it. There is none.
As I read it, "analogue (adj)" is a variant of "analog (adj)", but the same does not apply to the noun form.
To use your own logic against you: It seems to me that if "analogue (adj)" was a variant of "analog (adj)" there would be a listing for it. There is none. The only two listings for analogue are analogue (noun) and analogue, the latter failing to specify the word type.
Main Entry: 1analogue Variant(s): or analog \a-n-log, -läg\ Function: noun Etymology: French analogue, from analogue analogous, from Greek analogos Date: 1826
1 : something that is analogous or similar to something else 2 : an organ or part similar in function to an organ or part of another animal or plant but different in structure and origin 3 usually analog : a chemical compound that is structurally similar to another but differs slightly in composition (as in the replacement of one atom by an atom of a different element or in the presence of a particular functional group) 4 : a food product made by combining a less expensive food (as soybeans or whitefish) with additives to give the appearance and taste of a more expensive food (as beef or crab)
If I want new maps in my FPS, I head to FPSBanana and download it. Or just find a server that's already got it and see if I can download it from there.
Oh wait, you meant DLC for consoles (and for the PC version of Modern Warfare 2)?
CRIA is a mini-me of the RIAA and with any luck, they will be sued out of existence before they bring a backward, Draconian & American DMCA to Canada. But I doubt it.
(no offense Americans.. unless you're one of the cronies who created the DMCA)
Trust me, we don't take offense to this. The DMCA was one of the most backward laws the US government has been bribed... er... incentivized to pass.
Almost as backwards as the Copyright Act of 1976 and moreso than the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998.
And do you realise the hardware it would take to start sniffing the packets of the largest search provider in the world?
That's a nice straw-man you have there, it's a shame I have to burn it up.
Do you really need to be reminded that we're talking about packets over UDP on port 53 sent in standard DNS format, with no DNSSEC since Google doesn't support it? The ISP doesn't need to sniff it, just redirect it to their own DNS servers and rewrite the response to look like it came from Google's DNS servers.
I suggest that Google will eventually redirect NX queries, because it follows their pattern of adding advertising to their previously ad-free products. I submit Google Maps and Google Earth as examples.
On the contrary, this is a place for "Nerds" to discuss things, including things they don't have previous knowledge of.
An Anonymous Coward (possibly even you) posted something about how Palm makes the code available without any evidence to back it up. This is the key issue of this lawsuit, and one assumes the company suing has already researched this and found that the source code is not actually available. Thus, the rest of us are not going to take such a claim on faith.
As I pointed out to someone else, "As the person making an argument, it's your responsibility to provide evidence to back up your claims, not mine."
IE bastardized the web standards it supports, and failed to support any decent new ones, for about a decade. After dropping support for other platforms, it effectively meant that many web pages were Windows-only. This was sometimes through no fault of their own, simply because they tested it with IE and assumed that worked. Sometimes it was deliberate -- why waste time supporting less than 5% of the population, when 95% can view your page?
Only when Firefox started seriously threatening its marketshare did IE start to improve, and it has done so incredibly slowly, compared to any of its rivals.
Yet even now, the damage has been done. To this day, if I want to be taken seriously as a web developer, I have to spend roughly 10-25% of my time hacking in support for IE6.
At the time it came out, IE6 was considerably more compliant than its main competitor, Netscape 4. However, that was like 8 years ago.
Hulu May Begin Charging For Content Next Year, a news article from 5-6 weeks ago. Which was from a quote by the president and COO of News Corp. News Corp (FOX) also owns (a large part of) Hulu.
Unfortunately, the US governments (federal, state, and/or local) made a mistake: They didn't retain ownership of the lines.
Since avoiding duplicate lines was the entire point of the government granted monopolies on phone and cable, giving ownership of said lines to the corporations was a HUGE mistake. Especially since the taxpayers were the ones paying for the lines to begin with through government subsidies paid for by our tax money.
And even if you think it's a grand idea to disconnect the top downloaders, it should disturb you that they're disconnecting based on the percentage not the transfer amount.
Once you disconnect the top 10%, the next 9% (10% of the remaining 90%) below that become the new top 10%.
Blizzard is attempting to move WoW from the Saturation and decline stage back to the Mature stage by completely redoing all the game's original (pre-expansion) content for the next expansion's release. This content replaces the original content for everyone, even if they don't buy the Cataclysm expansion.

Thank you for not reading the very entry you linked to.
Actually... the lawsuit names four actual companies. Big companies. Companies that have parent companies who can, in turn, be held accountable.
To be specific, the companies are Warner Music Canada, Sony BMG Music Canada, EMI Music Canada, and Universal Music Canada.
Somehow, Capital Records of Canada managed to get missed.

er... wait, are we talking about the same GM that would pay unskilled laborers $20/hour to weld parts?
During a time when Minimum Wage was $5?
Your definition of "minimize" seriously needs to be looked at.
Diclaimer: I live and work in the Lansing, MI area... which is a GM town.

I hate to say it, but this is an inverse ad hominem.

You are aware that quotes are use for paraphrases as well as exact quotes...?
On the flip side, if you use the GPL, don't whine because other people write code under licenses that aren't GPL compatible.
In other words, that door swings both ways.

Well, the easiest way is to have Pyros that Spycheck, or just bump into the Spy by accident.
Wait, you don't mean in Team Fortress 2?

Wow, some people have a short memory.

Someone remind me, did Congress pass net neutrality laws yet or not? Because if they did, that would stop Comcast from pulling that crap.

Feel free to name them. Oh, and along with naming them, [citation needed].
WoW won't run on Windows 95, you insensitive clod!
I'm going to guess that it will also be 6.1 or 7.1.
Why? Because Windows 7 is 6.1 so the following is true:
which fails on Vista because Vista is 6.0.
Unfortunately, IMO Skynet would more likely be created by a different company.
Not when Christopher Lloyd says it!
