Because even a few percent like that of unemployment can have strong negative affects on the entire economy and ultimately harms the welfare of the country.
This is exactly how it works: You install software on your phone. If you have physical access to someone's phone long enough to install the software, I think there are other far more malicious things you could do, like copy contacts and such.
Most likely it will just ship with a second or third browser installed. Then when you go to do anything involving a web browser for the first time, it will ask you which you would like to make your default.
As far as I know, that's how the modified version of XP works for Europe, though I have yet to hear of anyone actually using it.
I didn't have any problem installing The Orange Box on a PC when the wireless network was down. When I finally got it back online, Steam updated the game and that was it. I can continue playing in "offline mode" which is exactly the same as "online mode" except I don't get friends list updates and snazzy things like that.
I don't think it's spin. DRM doesn't just refer to companies stealing your rights, sometimes DRM can refer to your right to manage digital media. In this case, Steam is two types of DRM. It protects Valve from piracy and allows you to manage your games from a central location.
"Don't use DRM" is too broad. What is a problem, though, is DRM that places the "rights" of the producer too far ahead of that of the buyer. Basically, when it starts managing our rights when we don't want it to.
Most major 360 games are being forced to put large amounts of content into download form due to the ridiculous 7 gigabyte disc format the 360 is stuck with.
When SETI gets a signal from extraterrestrial life, it'll be decades (at least) before we even get a signal back.
In that time, Folding@Home could find useful data about hundreds of proteins.
Seti@Home has a hard time receiving funding for a good reason. We know for a fact that the data gained from Folding@Home will be of use. We don't know if Seti@Home will ever find a signal, let alone one we could reply to or do anything useful with.
Why does it need to be linked to GPS data? Road signs are pretty easy to read with a simple camera mounted on the dashboard. You could probably add a few lines of code to the recognition software and have it read construction speed limit signs, too.
In fact, I think my neighbor's car has a display on the windshield for the speed she's going. And the car is at least from the mid to early 90s. I don't know if it reads the speed limit, though.
After reading the overview from Anandtech, it has been revealed that Hyper-Threading is far more efficient on Nehalem than any P4 could have hoped to be. It has better cache, better access to memory, and is a much wider core. Hyper-Threading also allows Nehalem to do more with each clock.
I highly suggest reading Anandtech's breakdown of Nehalem. It is very comprehensive and does a great job of explaining things in quite a fine grain of detail.
Void your warranty? Not on your life. You can wipe the hard drive (or just install a completely different one) all you want. The PS3 has a lot of modification options that don't void your warranty. You can run Linux, even!
I've been playing the game just fine for the past week. I use a crack, though. I refuse to install SecuROM or be limited to three installations. Sure, you can contact EA and get it activated from them, but that's just ridiculous in this day and age. Great game, though.
I think you meant the models have low polygon counts. Textures are what go on the models. And yes, the textures made the difference. While the polygon counts were up there, they weren't as bad Doom 3 (released around the same time, I believe) and the textures made it all look just that much better.
Well, PvP gear has ALWAYS been most useful in PvP. In fact, it's generally not the best to use in PvE, and to level to 80, you'll need to PvE. But I do agree to a degree; This is awfully close to WotLK and will result in a lot of wasted time when you find better gear after just a few levels into WotLK.

Because eyeballs are notoriously bad at typing. Plus, their all vision, no execution.
Yeah, it's like all those people using beta versions of Ubuntu. You know in 6 months they're just going to release another one.
I'm a barista, but I don't work at Starbuck's, you insensitive clod!

Didn't Intel already implement this technology in their Pentium 2 FPUs? Didn't seem very desirable to me...

2009 - 1990 = 19. Some people round. Still, you're right. It is a really poor way to word that sentence.

If you RTFA, that story isn't as true as you think it is.
I think there's something wrong with your "s" key. You should check your key-mapping.

Bungie bought themselves out of Microsoft. They own themselves now. However, it seems they're still locked into putting their IP on the 360...
I dunno. "800MHz" is Vista Capable, and I would argue that Vista is quite an uberflop.

A cue is a signal to begin. A queue is a line or order.

Right. That's the entire reason. Not to offer new features or anything.
I think I remember Twilight Princess freaking out when I didn't have the nunchuck attached. And Mario Galaxy needs it for you to move...
