I actually go through several thousand per month as I am in the process of backing up the entire internet on them. Of course things change from time to time so I have to go back and back up even more. But I know they are sturdy and reliable so I will keep using them for as long as I can.
I lived all my life in CA up until a few years ago and got myself and the wife and kids the hell out mainly for that exact reason. Its amazing how much money states like these collect and still can't figure out how to make things work.
It seems like the states with the lowest tax base got it figured out..strange.
Is he referring to all types of art such as storytelling, music, visual art. Some of these games definitely contain all three but especially the visual aspect. They have some amazing visual artists out there.
hmm Anonymous Idiot. What does that post have to do with the original question? Also you do know that most programmers don't have a clue about design right?
I didn't say it would make them profitable by doing this..nothing is guaranteed. But if a company doesn't try to progress then wouldn't that lessen the likelihood of them becoming more profitable?
right their going to put banner ads on your windshield.
Why exactly shouldn't GM look towards the future, that's what successful companies do you know. Just because they had some financial problems recently doesn't mean they always will. Maybe if they come up with a new technology that really catches on they will finish paying off their loan from the government and be successful once again. If only they had a new technology they were working on...
Who said anything about "piracy"? If you read the summary (not even the article) you'll see this:
There were a few more sentences in there other than this. Like this one:
"They will also need to figure out how to stop people from setting up clone video and music stores with pirated content."
Or there was this one in a comment...
"We are NOT going to have a wonderful new world when piracy and high-speed access make it possible to quickly download a production that someone put their asses on the line for to the tune of thousands or millions of dollars."
right people that pirate dont kill the connection if they dont get their data right away. They go away and make a sandwich, watch another pirated movie then come back when its done..rinse and repeat!
yes some days its a toss up. Well i cant afford it so it wont happen but I definitely will keep an eye on this company to see where they go. Will be interesting to see where this goes.
Insurance companies sometimes seem to require as much data (possibly more) than the FDA does when it comes to approving things. There have been a few things I looked at having done on my back but since they have only been around for 5 years in the US (20+ in Europe) they were still waiting to cover it.

I agree..I hate using apps online except in rare circumstances like gmail. Plus there is the whole trust factor.
I dont think the technology is that advanced
Duct tape can solve almost anything. I think they need to look into this a bit ... plus its very inexpensive

I could swear they did this same article about 3 months ago on here. And yes im to lazy to search for it.

no doubt. Look at the high end game they played a few years back that helped turn the world economy upside down for the past few years.
I just love how he thinks this is worth $100 million!

really? Wouldn't you be happy if your savings account increased by 3x? I'm sure $3000 is nothing to sneeze at if you only had $1000 in there.

dammit it's always something
But why are they thinking the US government is targeting US citizens over there?
