Almost every post here is telling the same thing: Sony and TakeTwo should not be held responsible for actions of those who play their games, especially when the rating restrictions where violated. And many of you went on criticizing those who blame the whole world but themselves.
Although those are very valid points, you are forgetting what this lawsuit is about: compensation. The kids that committed the crime, and maybe even their parents, are already guilty and punishable by law, there's no question about that. But the victims family, who lost their loved ones, will gain nothing from that. They and their lawyers know they can't win a lawsuit against the gamemakers, they are going only after a settlement. This has worked very well in the past and the lawyers know that.
Is that the right thing to do, to go after the game maker? I think Slashdot readers have voice their opinion. But the lawyers aren't trying to do the right thing, they want maximum profit.
So far, I haven't found the need to organize my Inbox (using Outlook), although it has tons of emails. When I need to find something, I simple use the Find box and search for the person or topic that I'm looking for.
It has worked for me so far. I find it too much trouble to organize my email.
But if I were to organize my email, I would organize it by groups of people. For example, I would have "Friends", "Family", "Business" folders.
When Apple donated Macs to school, we loved it. And many of those benefitted became loyal Apple fans.
So why criticize Microsoft's actions?
They were both trying to do the same thing: grow interests and innovations for their product by having students learn about their product. Helping community is good PR, but that's not what most companies go for when they donate. Company executes are investors. They constantly face the challenge of where to put their money on. Many of them invests in school for their company's future as their main interest.
In fact, I feel it is the school's responsibility to decide whether the amount of donation being offered justifies the impact on the students. A business's best interest is always money, I won't blame them for that. A educational institute, on the other hand, should look out for their students.
I just watched the trailer. I think what will happen in the next movie is Agent Smith finds a way to become human. And once he succeeds, there's no need for the human in the life pods. So Neo is trying to stop him. Just my guess.
As we advancing in technology, we become more dependent on electricity.
This reminds me of the time when I tried to keep my shopping list onto my PDA. After an hour of downloading and trying applications, I just took out a stickie pad and jogged down my shopping items.
Open Source community is great! Any problem, whether it is technical or legal, there are so many people jumping in to help. This is a sign OS will thrive.
The Chinese goverment has always been promoting local business above the foreign business. It's not just about whether they would adopt open standards. There are many issues when dealing with China.
In my experience working in the semiconductor industry, I know China's economy in that sector is growing at a rapid rate. Many big name companies here, like HP, SUN, etc are all trying to get a piece of the pie. The only company to successfully grow their business in China is Intel. Everyone else aren't finding a good way to set foot in China. There are many business standards that China does not adopt from global businesses.
A main one is China does not recognize Intellectual Property. You bring your products to China, a local company to rip your design and sell it at a cheaper price. The goverment will not protect you against that. In fact, I might suspect they allow that kind of business conduct.
This is what I've learn about growing business in China for the semiconductor industry. I would imagine software industry is similar.
What happened to free speech? If the guy wrongfully accused the company of having security hole, then that's another issue. But going to jail for pointing out a company's flaw, why not?
We have organizations such as Better Business Bureau to make sure businesses are doing things right and fair for their customers. They would encourage people to point out flaws of a business. It's the same idea with security flaws.
The one that should be punished is the COMPANY that leaves out security flaw, not the guys that points it out. It's about who's responsibility is it...simple as that.
I've found a great way to get anime. I rent anime from this site call AnimeForest.com
They are great and affordable. I've been with them for awhile now and I'm very satisfy. I've wait for a long time for a site like this to pop up. For all you anime fans out there, check it out, it's awesome!

Whatever the selling price is, I'm sure it will be marked up on Ebay since they are releasing limited copies.

Anyone has clue to what scenes will be added to the extend version of TTT?
Who sells these tags?
I read somewhere on the net these tags sell for around $.25 each for 1 billion or $0.05 for 10 billion. This is a huge market.
Any knows any leading companies that sells these? I might consider buying their stocks.
But eye won't see thru walls. Now, RFID readers would.
Another technology to give me the feeling that...
The Big Brother is Watching.
RFID tags have the potential problem of a thief scanning my house to see what I have inside.
I want a picture of the hitchhikers.
Well, Microsoft didn't become this big by providing free services...
This doesn't surprise me at all. They have always been using a tactic which eventually ends up trapping their customer to pay them money.
Haven't we already established P2P itself breaks no law, it is only the actual people who shares copyrighted material? Why go after the developers?
What does the court stand in this battle?

The sensor won't pick this up, but the executive redwood office furnitures doesn't help either.

Good job on publishing this guy's name. Now he tasted his own medicine and closed shop.
This is a great way to get rid of spammers. People should be personally responsible for their own actions.

Why does a slight tax increase cost me $200, and a substantial tax cut save me $3?
