we have a new American President who is not beholden to special interest
I guess that's why his much-trumpeted healthcare reform includes a provision for not letting the government (which would be the major buyer of drugs) negotiate lower drug prices?. The only thing that changed was the color of the skin of the guy at the top. Underneath they're all the same slime.
The courts haven't specifically held up any "click-through" EULA's, so violating an agreement that may not be legally binding (and almost certainly has a moral case against it) is in a pretty gray area
Why should your job scheduling be at all dependent on how fast things finished? That seems like a horrible assumption to make when you're talking about a network of computers. All kinds of things could cause slowdown, and even failure.
My Phenom II 955 will even do 3.6GHz on the stock cooler now, probably even a lower thermal envelope than the P4's of the time. And the Core i7's (I'm too cheap for a full system replacement) are faster and cooler still.
It doesn't hurt that the Batman game is well received. All gaming comic sites and most gaming communities think it's awesome, and that is going to sell it to a lot more people than just impulse purchases or batman fans. If you have a game system that will play Batman games, and you're the type of person who plays games, you're going to walk by the game shelves every now and then when you're at Target.
Wait, you think companies plan for long-term? That hasn't been an issue in big business since the 80's and Reaganomics. Next quarter bonuses are all that matter.
Until it passes the failure point. Concrete is strong in compression until you get too much weight on it, then it crumbles. Same concept. If the material at it's hardest isn't enough to resist a bullet, it'll be useless. Maybe behind an armor plate of some sort that won't deform, thereby spreading out the forces though...
Bio-Shock needed a patch on launch day. There is no excuse for that. Yes, people make mistakes. That's what Quality Control and Testing are there to take care of. There is no reason to ever have a launch day patch for such obvious bugs.
There, they're and their all still have separate meanings. There is a line where "stupid" comes into play, not all misuse of language is "evolutionary".
And that is why I don't play games any more. Too many cheaters. It's like kicking the chessboard and then bending someone else's arm to get them to tell you that you won. Sure, you may have "won", but it doesn't mean shit about your skill or ability to play.
It's a bigger pain in the ass than just connecting the cable to my machine. And I'd have to get another capture card, which is a non trivial expense. Fuck that. I'm canceling cable, going Netflix + OTA.
I've got digital cable with Comcast in Denver, and the fuckers have just recently started screwing up the signal for certain local channels. I can't get a lock on them any more, but I used to be able to.
Our understanding of physics wasn't "wrong" with Newton. It was just high-level models that broke down in special cases. Same thing here. It's still very useful.
Or perhaps our assumptions about planet and star formation timelines are wrong... they said they think they all form at the same time. What if that isn't the case?

That just happened in November here in the US.

But... Bob Saget is God. I suppose you would have to love Satan to not watch his show... ;)

Why does it have to be round?

That's a design flaw. The disc should not be able to move like that when tilting the machine, and it was all to save Microsoft probably $0.05 per unit in manufacturing: http://www.llamma.com/xbox360/repair/Refurbishing-the-HL-Xbox-360-DVD-Drive.htm
It's even used for a pretty interesting comic: Alice and Kev (which hasn't updated in over a month, but the archives are still worth reading through)
Gotta love frat boys... that's the only reason half the consoles out there are bought, for college guys to play Tiger Woods and this year's Madden.

Hell, it's even better than the concept. Karatand plastic relaxes over several seconds. This stuff relaxes as soon as the impulse is over

They also had people thinking for a living that Communism was an amazing way to run a functional government. That worked out pretty well.

If you release a game for a console that needs updating, you fucked up. Period, end of story.

I'm about to do the same. They just started blocking some of the OTA stations for me, so off goes cable.
Does that work with DirecTV? I can't seem to find info on some simple googling...
