Fry: Well sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio, and in magazines, and movies, and at ball games... and on buses and milk cartons and t-shirts, and bananas and written on the sky. But not in dreams, no siree.
I don't know how much of a problem this is in higher academia, but according to more articles like this
And the fact that prestigious universities such as this only accept a handful of students in computer science in a year, it's not surprising. One of the more surprising things is that UW received 40 million dollars from Paul Allen a while ago, and they used it to build a giant 40 million dollar new computer science building. But the number of students they accepted per year didn't change. Why is this? If you have lots of students who want to go there, why not use extra funds you have to expand the number of applications you can accept?
I dunno, I'm sure the downward trend of education spending all over our country isn't helping universities to expand the number of students they can accept either.
This is exactly how I felt about a lot of recent "vigilantism", either online or in real life. It's too soul crushing for me to believe that there aren't great leaders out there who do understand human behavior. The idea that you need to treat the cause and not the symptoms seems lost on most people and that makes me sad.
What we should be doing is trying to get the DMCA overturned; It is the bane of the tinker. It's ironic because I'm guessing many of the people working on this stuff over at Apple got interested in computers because of the creativity they could express by hacking away at computers.
I should say though, that Apple is not the only company in town creating hardware, I mean honestly a lot of these articles seem to make some leap at some point about how Apple is representative of all hardware manufacturers, when I think that's just not true. They create some stylish products, people buy them, and then they miss out on hacking the hardware. If people really want the option to hack the hardware, don't buy this locked down crap. It's not like Apple is the only game in town, they live off this spotlight everyone creates for them. Just get that less stylish piece of hardware that offers tons of customization and hopefully at some point Apple will have to learn what they should be doing.
But you forgot, there's lots of other people running on different wheels in different cages, all placed next to me. Sometimes when I go really fast on my wheel it bumps the wall, sometimes even causing the other wheels to bump into their walls too. It's multiplayer!
You seem to be implicitly attributing McCain with huge amounts of military leadership experience that would (I'm guessing) lead one to believe he has some vast insight into executive decision making.
I've looked into McCain a little bit, and it seems that many people seem to agree that his military service doesn't really prepare him for the office of the President. It seems more likely that you are reflecting your own bias on who you think would make a better President as some kind of 'obvious fact', when it is anything but that.
While I like the idea of returning games, I have a bad feeling many game development companies wouldn't survive if people were given the option to return something that they didn't think was worth the price they initially purchased it for, especially after being subjected to the hype that most games use to build wide interest in a game.
To pass through a microbiological filter, how did they find it? The article states how they study the bacteria, but how did they know to process this one specific piece of ice for ancient bacteria? Were they just going through thousands of tons of ancient ice core and happened upon it by accident?
What happens in the game when a user finishes the very large amount of quests in the game? I know about the player-vs-monster-player area, and it is rather fun. Is there any other end-game content other then the monster player area?
The PS3 is selling for about $500 each, and has sold 3.16 million units worldwide (according to vgcharts) making back roughly 1.58 billion dollars.
The Wii is selling for about $250 each, and has sold 6.54 million units worldwide (according to vgcharts) making back roughly 1.635 billion dollars.
The 360 is selling for about $400 each, and has sold 9.68 million units worldwide (according to vgcharts) making back roughly 3.872 billion dollars.
Looks like X-Box 360 is creaming the competition currently, in both money recouped in hardware sales (at a lost), and units sold.
Sony is a huge company with virtually limitless pockets. During the entire time you were developing the PS3, were there any Sony insiders who had any hesitations regarding the high price point of the PS3? In light of the vast difference between PS2 vs PS3 adoption world-wide, do you see anything you could do about that, or are you pretty much set in the price point? I think it's silly that a company your size would not have had departments devoted to simply researching the best price-point the market would bear, and then deciding what would be best.
I find it hard to believe that the hubris of a few company executives would outweigh pure market research that says "The market will not bear this high-price point, danger, danger!
The Sitefinder you mention is nothing of the sort. What you are experiencing is IE7's auto-search feature. If you set your default search to Google, you'll get google search results with the same thing as IE.

I think a recent South Park episode made light of fake conflict between real guitars and fake ones. Here is the episode.
