Blizzard wouldn't let EA make an RPG based on Warcraft either... that doesn't make them control freaks. On the other hand, George Lucas let Sony make an RPG based on Star Wars, got pissed off when they totally screwed it up, then redid the whole game. Is he a control freak? Story tellers take possession of their stories because they have a personal attachment to them (and a monetary attachment, but that is usually secondary). If you wrote a successful book series you wouldn't want just any moron with an idea for a video game or movie come up and use your stuff any way they saw fit - you would want control over the development.
Does anyone else wonder why Sequoia seems to think it's alright that the machine can't count the correct number of democrat/republican votes (and that this is a KNOWN DESIGN FLAW), but gets the total number right?
The whole point of a vote is not to know the total number of voters... you want to know the number of voters on each side. If their machine can't figure that out correctly, and they were fully aware of that, why did they bother selling the machine? (and who the hell was stupid enough to buy it?)
In this case, I'd be getting shot at by what is essentially a hi-tech megaphone from an unknown location by people I most likely can't see and don't know. Honestly I think this might go beyond the scope of privacy invasion and be considered a weapon. Hearing things out of nowhere is not only confusing, but disturbing; just walking along and suddenly I'm hearing an advertisement... I don't have braces, I shouldn't have to put up with that.
I wonder what they would do if you kept all of those files out in the open right in front of your door... could they still snoop around when they've obviously found them already?
/.'s resident NewYorkCountryLawyer has said in several discussions I've read through that the **AA's cases just won't hold up in a criminal case. As a civil case the 'preponderance of evidence' required to prove someone infringed a copyright amounts to practically anything (and most of the data collection is illegal anyway). A criminal case on the other hand requires a jury to be absolutely positive that someone broke a law. IMO if laws like these come into existence, America will very shortly remember that there is in fact such a thing as a jury veto.
I would say that the discrepancy between the gun description and the ammo you find is more for the player's understanding than the general atmosphere. If I were running around and picked up a "mass cartridge" I'd be very confused.

Hello EdIII. We recently heard that someone pissed all over your bathroom, left a floater, didn't light a match, and then left the door open. We are glad to hear that you've taken action against this individual! However, we must note that you did nothing to prevent these actions, such as leaving a sign up in your bathroom saying "Please don't piss all over my bathroom," or install piss-detecting sensors that can stop someone from pissing in your bathroom. We are sorry, but because of your failure to comply with the Freedom to Pee act of 2007, we'll have to shut off your power. However, you can forego this consequence if you pay the Plumbers Association of America $900 per offense.
When he says mint condition I'm assuming he means "returnable" condition. That means no opened games with serial numbers or CD keys. I've never seen an opened or used PC game at any of the gamestops in my town.
Lee Harvey Oswald was an ex-Marine, and evidence points to his rifle recovered from the depository to actually being the murder weapon. If there were other shooters, they got off free simply because ballistics all matched to Oswald's rifle.
On Building Seven; two massive burning buildings next door fell over right next to it. Debris fell on Seven, and started multiple fires. The fires didn't get put out due to the sprinkler system electrical failure and the FD having no water pressure. Two buildings next to building Seven sustained damage from THAT collapse. Controlled demolitions don't tend to cause that kind of collateral damage (a community college that is being deconstructed now and Verizon building that cost over $1bn to fix). Also, who with the power to blow up the building benefited from blowing it up?
My former roommate had a Wii, and honestly after the first week of playing with it, we went back to our PCs. This guy was a big Nintendo fan, owned every previous console and played all the in-house developed games. He couldn't bring himself to play Zelda: Twilight Princess or Warioware Smooth Moves (which prior to purchase he had claimed were completely awesome). After I played both games to the point of boredom we really quit doing anything with the poor little guy except surf the internet (YouTube TV was a fun hobby for a while) and play the Virtual Console games, which we could've used an emulator for on our PCs (and not have to wait for Nintendo to release a title we want to play, at that). So from experience I can say we didn't play that thing nearly as much as we thought we would before we bought it.
I would say it's intended to make public the fact that alternatives exist that would be more profitable to the companies, and the fact that those companies will not take those alternatives is then proof that they don't give a crap about the money, and just want internet radio to stop all together.
Not only that, but most of the games he played roles in were based off his movies, which were rated PG-13 or R, so one assumes any parent with half a brain wouldn't buy the game title of the same name for little timmy the five year old.
Honestly, just because he's in violent games doesn't mean he wants those games being played by minors. They're two completely different things.
Because AMD's processors have the memory controller on-die, and HyperTransport instead of the old shared frontside bus, AMD processors have consistently scaled far better than Intels. This is why Opterons took over the server market, and if prices drop enough it is certainly possible that it could save AMD from floundering in the desktop market as well.
The Wii controller has 2 sets of A and B buttons. One A button is close to the front of the controller, and is most likely where your thmub would be resting if you were playing a game in the remote style. The B Button is on the backside of the controller, where your index finger would be gripping the controller.
The other set of buttons is actually near the bottom of the remote-style. What you're supposed to do is turn it sideways and hold it like a normal game controller. That puts the D-pad on the left, and A and B on the right, with Start/Select in the middle. It's the original NES controller now.

You don't think it's more likely that the other 62% were just... caused by Vista?

So your problem is the logo screens that have been around since the SNES/Genesis? Man you've missed out on some good gaming :(
I don't see how Da Vinci not being a lawyer had anything to do with making straight lines in a painting :/

The RIAA doesn't get a cut of concert sales. Clearly you're infringing on their copyright by listening to the band perform a copy of the CD.

... thus the word aproximately. The real number is 1.111111111111 ...
I just rounded to the nearest tenth.
1.1 meters per second is aproximately 4000 kilometers per hour. 1100 meters per second would reach 4000 kilometers in less than 4 seconds.

The obvious difference here is that we might actually have games that use this functionality :P
