You're a typical college student... that's all you have.. =P
I find locking myself in a study room or a library without any electronics extremely helpful. I usually do this for 8-9 hours straight, bringing food, pillow, and stuff that allows me to be perfectly comfortable. In the meantime, I will slowly, but eventually finish studying or homework...
If you don't think you can do it, you can always join a buddy program and get someone to do it with you!
Sounds like a lot of money is spent when it could've been paying for a viable alternative...
But oh well, maybe it'll educate a few people.. after all, it can't cost that much, maybe a few songs at 12000$ each..
Yes, it's as simple as money. It all comes down to people on top wanting even more money...
A programmer at 80k a year is no small cost when you need a few of them to do a decent project..
Ya, seriously, it'll work until they test it.. and realize most people are morons...
Just because they have the technology doesn't mean anything.. this reminds me when a certain video game used to have a digicam for highscores (this was in the 80s, so it would've been cool..) it worked wondrously, until the next day, someone dropped their pants in front of the camera. End of story.

Well, when 31 million homes have a PS2.. they tend to stop buying the same ones..

Actually, if you read the article, it devotes a part explaining this...
Maybe... but it still remains to be seen if Open Source can generate enough revenue for the developers after reaching critical mass...
Off-topic, but, is there any good new FPS that has multiplayer-cooperative? I miss those Doom/Duke Nukem days where we were on a mission together...
Funny he mentioned it won't be a quick read..
Really though, can you make enough money to make it a full-time job? Can you actively seek users to pay you 20$ an hour doing trivially tedious work?
Financially..
It'll probably work.. until everyone's doing it.. I guess the real question is, "Is there enough idiots out there to support all the 'geeks'?"
I guess the question we have to ask ourselves is, does the ends justify the means?
in the US, now companies can take over the world! What will we do in 100 years?
Chick can lose weight the easy way! (Without moving to, say the moon)
You mean Britain?
It's always the fine print.. I thought you were different, Apple!
Maybe now we can get lower price broadband... 50$ a month is still a bit high, especially after all these years..

Exactly. If we lived in an "anti-matter" world, we would've have noticed, and would've just had different textbooks..
Sure if you tell them they'll play better...
