Man, that's really discriminatory against the outlier territories. Just saying...
I'm not that keen on buying a new console on launch day anyway. They usually crap out long before they should. The only launch day console I ever bought that has never had an issue is my PS3.
I also find juicing to be a fantastic way of consuming a lot of healthy vitamins and minerals. I make a veggie/fruit-juice every day consisting of ginger, carrot, spinach, broccoli, beet root together with apple, lemon, grape fruit and blueberries. Fantastic stuff.
You're using statistics wrong. Unless 96.2% have specified that they'll buy another, you cannot infer that from the number of people who refuse to buy another.
I've had three boxes, of which two have failed. One failed within months, the second just after the warranty expired. The third is still running, but for how long...?
Too bad the talent has withered away since they closed down their adventure division. Still got my Amiga and PC originals, but if they release all games in one box eventually, like the Orange Box, I'll get these enhanced versions.
It was a foregone conclusion that lucene would trounce the others, if you ask me. And comparing sqlite vs lucene is slightly absurd, since most people with a clue already uses lucene on top of sqlite (and mysql as well) to get good search results.
Yes, that's why I said you can use SQL syntax, but it's not a proper SQL database -- far from it. It's the simplest things that give it away, like the fact that you can define a CHAR field with 10 chars, and SQLite will happily store 255 chars in the field anyway;)
But it is fast. Very fast. I've measured it, and compared it to proper databases. For my main web site http://www.magicode.org/, I use SQLite 3 with prepared statements. It's lightning. (Comments are stored in mysql5 though, as I access it through my admin, which is on another host, and I would have to ftp download and ftp upload the sqlite-base if I wanted to admin it remotely).
It's an alternative, and a pretty good one, I think.
Well, that's why I am so in favor of SQLite. While it does use SQL syntax, in reality you're simply rummaging through a flat file with superspeed. I use SQLite on all my simpler web projects that doesn't need the advanced functions that you get with a fully fledged relational database.
Yeah, but the no dying part made it more repetitive than it could have been, because you'd constantly try the same thing over and over until you succeeded. I say meh, the previous three were excellent, and I was really looking forward to the new one. A shame.
You can take it too far as well. The new Prince of Persia is going too far, in that you really can't ever die, and that gets boring real fast. Pity, because the previous Prince of Persia games were rather good.
Having kids (5 and 9), I would have to say this is fantastic. Games like Super Mario Galaxy are too hard for my youngest, and I constantly have to step in and help with the levels. Now, Super Mario Galaxy is quite fun, but any game gets quite dull after having to go through the same stuff over and over. Let's have cheat/demo modes and let the kids have fun.:)
By the way, my youngest have no problems with Super Mario Sunshine - it is a much easier game for kids. Maybe it's the controller?
This won't work at all. All it does is having the telecompanies implementing a systemwide.hosts-lists with banned IPs. How often will it be updated? Criminals can set up new networks in minutes. The only ones who will be seriously hurt are companies that provide a service that won't change their DNS every day, like the mentioned (possible) censor on Counterstrike server.
And what about whitelisting, when the IP is recycled? I'm worried that the germans will look to China when they see that this project fails....
It's interesting to see that Nginx performs so well in comparison with the LAMP setup. I've setup a server at home using Nginx (http://magicode.org/) and it really performs well, even though it's a very modest server (P4, 256MB ram, slow drives, basically a 10 year old computer with parts added on).
Regarding Unite, will people simply be using it to offload larger files and images, or will it be a genuine platform for people with no access to hosting? It's an interesting experiment by Opera.
It's like any business, it takes hard work and time before you see any revenues. I have a blog at http://blog.magicode.org/ (http://mirror.magicode.org/ if it goes down, as it's hosted on my server in my home office) and I can tell you this, I'm not making a living on the ad revenues.;)
I code for a living. Having a good, professional blog is a way of showing people what you can do, and it inspires confidence, unless you put up pictures of yourself partying down, or post derogatory comments abour your ex-boss (or ex-wife, which is mostly the same thing, hehehe).

Everybody loves Jarlsberg. Especially me.

You should reduce meal sizes rather than skipping them. Skipping meals is a bad plan for loosing weight.
Why don't just everybody produce thing for free?

The new norwegian zombie movies takes place in the winter, with nazi zombies crawling out of the snow.

Yeah, it does. I read the write-up thinking that that it had already been approved, so now wonder I didn't find it. Thanks.
Ah, didn't think of that. Thanks a lot for the link :)
Tried to find it here http://patft.uspto.gov/, but couldn't locate it. Anyone got the patent number?

Haha, yeah, but it's still scheduled for release next week. And it's open source and free, so I'm not sweating about budgets or marketing.
