Lastly, we are concerned about our falling pps. We are on the threshold of dynamic growth and our earnings potential appears to be skyrocketing
however our pps is lower now than when we were in the development stage and not earning a dime in revenue, why are we taking such a beating?
"No, no, Mr Emporer, I love the new clothing line. Elegant yet sanguine. I just wonder when it'll catch on more with the locals? Perhaps we're just surrounded by fools?"
doesn't change the fact that he's paying less than before
Oh, yeah. Spend like it's free. Republicans.
Medicare? Sure, only $400 billion (oh it passed? yeah, actually it's closer to 550 billion). Iraq, $200 bil, so far. How about another 400 bil (no no no, it's on its way down) in federal and 600 bil per year in the trade deficit (Please, China, let our currency fall!). Those are the dirty little secrets of conservative leaders...
The question you have to ask yourself is "Am I getting my share of the profits?" If it's just a $500 refund check, then your children would like to kill you.
Add to that the increase in cultural diversity that immigrants bring
"Diversity" --... I do not think it means what you think it means. Go to some of the most 'diverse' places in the U.S. -- Decatur (Atlanta), GA. Los Angeles, CA. How bout the "integration" bussing program in St Louis, MO. How can you can chide the question about the abundance of immigrants while also criticizing the lack of diversity???
Please, I don't disagree with your point, but don't argue that separate cultures living in isolation, both in language and in race, is DIVERSITY.
And now, I do believe the meat of your point is valid. However, while increasing the # of jobs, it also increases the steepness of gradient between classes. Take Orange County, CA for example: If there weren't cheap labor to finance the bourgeois labor, the wealthy commerce couldn't exist. It's no accident that the OC is also the fast food capitol of California.
Both candidates have been victims of FUD attacks from 527 organizations. Should laws be enacted that force groups to take more accountability for the untruthful content in their message? What way would you deal with this issue?
The most productive I've ever been in my life was when I went to work at a start-up and our internet connection was through a guy's cell phone. It was just fast enough so that if you really needed something, you could get it... eventually. But any type of casual browsing was ludicrous. And if the phone was out of the office, no net.
According to Lester, the plan is to simplify the process of selecting a good PC for games without having to be an expert on hardware
But people LIKE being experts on hardware. They love shopping around for more gigamegs, and feeling like they got the best deal on SPRDPR2.0 XRAM with a 933FHz Sideways Bus.
One number? I mean, how boring would that be?

But for a lot of people Win2k is their *favorite* Windows OS.
It's kind of like how Ext2 is a big favorite even though there are all these clever new FSes. The maintainers never said "Hey, we're done. Upgrade to Ext3 or a journalized FS."
First off, I totally agree with this, people always make the analogy that languages are like tools and each job should be implemented with the most appropriate tool. Who would argue against more tools in the workshop?
But there's a huge missing link here: Languages are horribly inoperable. Even C to C++ requires some tomfoolery like
Is this a joke? The problem is that once you've used that nice bandsaw, you can't smooth the edges by hand. You can't use Python to parse into C++ data structures which then use asm inner loops.
I know projects exist that have this as their goal, but let's face it... languages are successful these days because they can be used (with varying degrees of difficulty) in isolation for a job.
If bots exist that are beating inexperienced players, how is this different from the poker pro who logs 10 hours of online poker a day?
If you play poker with an expectation from experience that you're better than 75% of the other players, then suddenly many bots infest the world that are better than 90% of players, your profit potential disappears.
So, it's fair to the (many) people that really have no expectation of winning but play anyway. However, it's quite unfair to the people that have a legitimate profit motive.
Say someone came up with a limitless supply nearly flawless programming bots. Not such good news for those of us slightly more flawful programmers. And, please, no dumb jokes about Indians.
What is largely relevant going to the handheld market from consoles is not really sales figures, but rather 3rd party support. Publishers have been dropping the GC like a bad habit, and they won't likely jump back on the Nintendo bandwagon until DS proves that it can move units.
So all they'll have to spur sales in the beginning is 1st party stuff. There are 2 problems though:
First, there are some nasty sharks in the water this xmas season in the console game market. San Andreas, Halo 2, GT4... While it's not direct competition, people only have so much time and money to spend, and DS isn't first on anyone's list (except the hard-core nintendrones).
Second, once xmas comes and goes, and PSP comes out in spring, nintendo will have no flexibility in moving their price point to compete. They're betting the farm on massive early adoption. You read $150 and you can almost see the sweat on their brow.
March is WAY too early. That's the US release date for the PSP, there's no way Sony distracts people with blah blah about the PS3. The last thing they want is some college kid to look at the sleek PSP, look at the price tag and think "Nah, I'll just save my money for the PS3 I read about."
I've been wanting to build my own compiler-farm using Linux boxes and distcc. Now that computers are so silly cheap, it's looks like a good idea, and probably other people around here have had the same inkling.
But it's still too much money for me to be the one to go make all the first-timer mistakes and discover all the hidden costs. I guess that's precisely the reason most DIYers would buy a magazine like this.
There is a similar problem with early model Saturn cars. You can use just about any 94-96 model key to open any 94-96 model Saturn, with a little jiggling and a soft touch.
So it wasn't a huge surprise when my Saturn finally got stolen. What was a surprise was talking to the police officer when filing the report, she said "Oh yeah, some meth-head kids have keys they can jack Saturns with and go joyriding." Even the Cops KNEW!
I've never been able to find a recall warning for it... I guess manufacturers aren't so forthcoming about admitting to security incompetency. It would probably be the same way for sofware companies if their flaws weren't exploitable on such a massive scale.
What happens if a shift gets left on the board with nobody willing to bid under the max posted?
Then such a shift needs to be credited with a higher wage.
This is the classical argument of the marginal value of wage balancing with the marginal disutility of labor for the employee. There is a point at which it becomes more valuable to the employee to NOT work at a given wage, which (in theory) drives up the wage proportionately. If a large enough segment of the labor supply decides not work sufficiently to fill the labor demand, then real wage must rise to meet the marginal disutility of labor.

I read 'steaming' and thought of something else...
I guess it's time to go take the dogs for a walk.

Yeah, What incompitance!

Why not save it for the actual release? And why not call it 2.0 instead... it sounds more stable than 1.0
Wake me when it hits 2^20...

Of course, such theory is wrong :)
