Maybe it's strange regional content blocking then because I can still see that he has exactly 16 followers:
Charlie Sheever, Wayne Kao, Keith Adams, Sarah Goodin, Roddy Lindsay, Akhil Wable, Arjun Banker, Bret Taylor, Jared Morgenstern, Dustin Moskovitz, Aditya Agarwal, Adam d'Angelo, Mike Shroepfer, Mark Slee, Greg Badros, Paul Buchheit. He also (as of this writing) has 4782 followers.
Pretty cool. Now if these DeepQA continue to learn and integrate information acquired from callers, all we need is to bombard it with 4chan style idiocy of Cleverbot proportions, just to see how it handles that! Hehehehe.
Of course they are. The decision makers get bribes and know nothing of technology. It's practically designed to be a wasteful disaster. It wouldn't surprise me if said decision makers also (probably indirectly) get a share in the costs required to maintain the disaster. Because it's a disaster, it being expensive to maintain is implied.
What happened to Rumsfeld promising that we'd get Iraq's Oil, and it would pay for the war???
People have tried for hundreds of years (probably far longer, I'm no history buff) and failed. You can't "win" against a population willing to die for their religious beliefs, let alone those that are political (suicide bombers). It seems to me they would sooner wilfully commit self-genocide by eventually exhausting all "supplies" of suicide bombers than they would end their homicidal ways. In theory it's self-defeating, yet it works because it's all about rationing the suicide bombers and making the enemy spend additional time and resources in preparation. Time is all they need to recruit/give birth to more suicide bombers.
I personally don't see the appeal of getting rid of the penny. My guess is retailers and so forth will simply price things such that you'll always have to give slightly more so that they can get the extra nickel out of you instead of leaving it at a price where customers would be at an advantage. To those who say "so? it's just a nickel!", count to 100 and see how many times you said a multiple of 5. Adds up quick doesn't it?
They'll end up being watered down prescripted events instead of retelling the adventures that happened with real players and the show's character(s) within the game.
This is why I've been saying it would make perfect sense if adrian lame-o was indeed lulzsec as a whois report of lulzsec.com reported a while ago. He craves the spotlight at all costs, even that of putting away his "friends".
I remember my 486 DX4 100MHz only barely being able to play MP3s. My entire computer would freeze up for the duration of the song though it played flawlessly. I'm not 30 yet and I feel old. Damnit.

True, but the psychology behind the reversal enforces the intended misdirection.
Woops, I meant he is following exactly 16 people.

and "Microsoft Games for Windows Live"
So like the potentially confusing Google Chat, Google Talk and Google Voice, there's now Google Images and Google Photo? Bravo Google! *slow clap*

I think it's time for the public to make the methods of "innovation" Zynga uses resurface. Hopefully that should make their stock prices plummet.
Rest in peace, sir.
Well fuck. There goes my NwN CD key. God damnit.
If the guy's third point wasn't so blindingly obvious to him it makes me question his qualifications as a whole.
Enhance.
I figured as much, so I was right, then. Sigh.
+1 Funny. lol
I rarely carry paper money, loonies or two dollar coins, so quite often.
Doubtful. A lot of prices end in .99 not because that's the store's actual cost, but because apparently many customers think 4.99 is $4, not $5.
Psychological pricing
I know about that, I've always wondered where companies find these foolish customers.
Australia got rid of the 1c coin years ago. Prices that used to end in .99 now end in .95, not .00.
Interesting, I didn't know that.

Sorry..

He should be strung up, I'd say. Possibly drawn and quartered.
Wow what an insensitive douche-bag that doctor is. I mean it's not like she couldn't have used it to give herself orgasms or anything.
If you're going to bother signing your posts AC "apk" why don't you just create an account? Honestly, it baffles me.
