Yes, but microsoft sells the xbox at a loss, so piracy is a big issue. However, with more xboxes out there, they hope to make enough by legitamite sales.
So, what your saying is, 3 months into the game, there will be bout 500 jedi. After that, the dev team will get mad and make it impossible to everyone else, while Jedi P0w3rd00d goes off and "ownz stuff lol."
Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware.
This refund day stuff/lawsuit stuff is crap. It is fairly easy to find computers that do not have windows pre-installed.
Thats what TCP does, just in a passive fashion. The sender queues all sent packets for resend, (on a delay) and packets are deleted from the queue when an acknowledgement for a range of packets is recived from the remote computer.
"about the no-theory objection... theory comes much easier once you have a practical understanding of a system. it is much harder to learn theory (think, "why the hell do i need to know algebra" in grade school) if you have no idea *WHY* you need to know it!"
One would hope that when you are in college, you realize why you are being taught things, instead of mindlessly studying for tests.
"This is the third in a series of articles on educational initiatives that bring innovation into the classroom"
Exactly how is teaching by example and using real-life situations innovative by any stretch of the imagination? Good Professors at other schools have been doing this for years...
"If you're using a TiVo companies will be paying attention to what you watch and potentially using the info to determine what to put on in the future."
Thats a good idea in theory, but with the sketchy ratings data they have already, we get atrocities like American Idol and Joe Millionaire

Creation deities? Some of the roman gods up there came a little bit after creation, in terms of their mythology.

If you think this is an 'incredible misappropriation', then you haven't seen anything yet.
"...the mod with big ships"
Big ships? the "galleon" has only 30 guns, thats less than a frigate. Also, a ship with that many guns would probally not have two decks.
As for costal artillery. Well, if you can fire heated 42-pounders then you should be able to completley own anything within firing range.

Go read the geneva convention, there are specific rules about when a prisoner is a POW. And it is not just because they were shooting at you.
Just get a few more 802.11 recivers and triangulate the position of the mug.
Criminals are profiled as stupid, because the smart ones get caught less, where the dumb ones almost hand themselves over.
How much did it cost them to predict that crime would happen in drug-infested poor neighborhoods?
Sure, the study showed a little more than that, but you have to question the usefulness.

Yes, but all theory and no practicality makes for a poor engineer as well.

In a couple years, Super-Ultra-Edition DVD research will be done and I'll RAKE in the cash!

Yeah look how badly they failed in Iraq... err wait...
That's it for Humanity, we're going to destroy ourselves very soon.

And they would accomplish this how?
