One should always know alot about a company before investing in them. Mutual funds help by adding diversity and professional management, but the investor should still note what stocks the fund is in to make sure it is being managed reasonably.
This deal helped some investors and hurt others. This is not atypical in the tech sector. Here is another example. Note the extremely high stock price in Jan of '00, just before the recession began later that year, and compare to the current price. Management of a major corporation can be a tricky thing. Buyer beware.
Do I have a new default score? Test test. I don't know, someone tattled and had me forcibly shut up. And here I thought slashdot valued freedom of expression. But I guess that only counts as long as you agree with the majority's version of the Truth.
Considering theres still no 'standard' to anything gaming yet (we don't even have a consistant set of rules regarding spawn killing)
I don't see how you could possibly me more wrong. #1 There are plenty of standards in gaming, at least console gaming. But based on your *ahem* blunt opinions I'm going to guess you are a PC gamer so what do you care. #2 Its a goddamn good thing there aren't standards such as rules regarding spawn killing. This is called design and what works for one game might not work for another.
Based on that one statement alone its pretty clear to me that you don't even understand the fundamentals of what you are speaking.
Is there luck involved with getting any good/fun job? Of course. But that doesn't mean its pure luck or that he's lucky to keep it. If his guides didn't sell I'm sure he'd be as unemployed as an American IT worker.
I will never allow advertising on my web site. It doesn't belong on the Web.
Isn't providing a link under your username technically advertising? I mean, I never heard about your website before you advertised it right there. So, does it belong on the Web or not?
Hold on hold on. That website merely says what you say, but also does not provide unique data to back it up. It shows absolute numbers for the US, but nowhere provides even a reference (or a reference to a reference) to international numbers. I guess thats what you get when the website supports the conclusion you want to come to.
And how does the US record of incarceration compare to the number of "prisoners" put to death without even a trial in other countries? Or countries that cut off limbs rather than put people in jail? I'm quite sure those nations are 100% accurate in their reporting.
Meh, its all relative I guess. Of course, everyone, regardless of race, is free to use the method I use to stay out of jail: Don't get caught breaking the law.
Slashdotter c.2002: We are justified in downloading retro games for free because they are not available at market! We should pass the Public Domain Enhancement Act!
Retro games start to be released at very low prices as parts of nice compilations...
Slashdotter c.2004: We need to pass the Public Domain Enhancement Act IMMEDIATELY to stop these tyrants from selling their products! My rationalizations for infringing other people's copyrights are slowly dwindling and my sense of entitlement has grown too strong to rethink my position! I demand everything for free, boohoo.
Interesting, but your prejudice betrays you. That "wrong" is wrong as in incorrect and not immoral. There are no moral judgements in my post. Only the notion that the populace may not be actually behind the parent as the parent tries to suppose. And it is in fact that people don't care. The assertion that one can only care about a certain maximum number of issues is false. If people cared about those arrested for marijuana crimes, there would be protests.
Fits on a single DVD. Memory card required to save. Forced to choose from a set of 4 hardware configurations.
Congrats! You just invented the home videogame console! Putting up with all you excuse makes a pretty good arguement AGAINST going forward with bootable game discs.
The missing step (????? if you will) is that people have to care. If they don't care enough to come out to protest maybe you just might possibly be in the wrong on the issue. I'm just saying its possible. If you get fined, and noone cares, you just might possibly be wrong. I'm just saying. Think about it.
Thanks for telling me what my job is? Actually you don't see the suits standing in line because the line gets brushed away so the suit can go to the front and get their personal demo immediately. They get a personal demo, either on the floor or in a private room, then go to the back and talk numbers. I'm sure all those games I demo'ed to all those VIPs from all over the world were all in my head.
Where do you think those deals are made? Oh, thats right, E3. Geez, connect the dots.
The deal with E3 is, ITS NOT FOR YOU. E3 is a trade show. This means it is for people involved with the trade. E3 exists so publishers can sell their wares (pun quite intended) to retailers. The hype is in the hope that Wal-Mart will buy 1M copies instead of 20k. Games are shown far in advance so that important people (I think you guys call the PHB's) can make long term decisions for companies all along the manufacture and distribution trail. Sometimes a game wins an award in a year wherein the game is not ready to be released. That's noone fault but all the other companies who failed to produce a demo better than one for a product THAT IS TWO YEARS AWAY.
In summation, don't drool over E3. Its only you that will be hurt. E3 is not approached at all as a way to hype up fanboys, but to hype up Blockbuster so it buys more copies to satisfy is Guarenteed to be There promise or whatever. Once again, if you hang on every word of every report from E3, its your own fault.
I used to love this game but I can hardly play anymore. Every server has their own stupid campaign, even though most are the same. They have a different name so guess what, you have to download it again. The custom maps SUCK. The mods suck. Lately there have been a few that utterly crash clients in certain combinations, even of the same mod. And what do the mods do? Oh, your guy drops his binoculars when he dies. Oh goodie! Medics spew out medpacks when they die, wtf is that? This is one game that I wish we could have left well enough alone. Good luck finding a vanilla server of ET.
This distro. Excellent audio hardware support, a free searchable knowledge base maintained by professionals, and support for 5 years for this low one-time fee. It comes with lots of free software too including image and text editors, a web browser, video and audio player, lots of good stuff. Check it out.
Wow, you are going to fault the guy for something that happened to a system that has ISA slots? Geez, that's harsh. Wow, why don't you just declare shenanigans because once windows 3.1 failed to recognize the contents of your 5.25 floppy?

The other OS creators responded saying that they intend to submit prior art but haven't actually invented end-users yet.
Man, you missed the joke. The link is to the VA Software stock quote 5 year history. And man its funny.

What, you guys don't have money? Man, the world outside the US is a strange place indeed.

Merely betting on one's own OS to succeed while hedging one's bet because it might not is cheating?
I'll take perspective for $500, Alex.
So because of this message, its not exactly the same, right?
Sounds like they are fixing a compatibility problem to me. I don't see a problem here.
So let me see if I have it straight...
Nothing at all operates differently based on what license string is sent to the kernel?
Yeah, and my house has glass windows. But I still put a lock on the door.
this might be true in some cases,
So despite the fact that you claim it IS true in some cases, noone should do anything?

I really, really gotta question if you have really ever purchased a game if you expect EA to give you a replacement key for Everquest.

Perhaps, I can accept that. Damn west coast corporate connection.
Can you post an IP addy? I really want to play some ET again.
