  5. Re:Changes on Vista Gets Official Release Dates · · Score: 1

    This has always been their philosophy. More accurately, it has been to synchronize constantly with daily builds and stabilize frequently, but to focus on a ship date. Whatever features are finished by shipping time go in, whatever else just gets pushed to the next edition. As an iterative development process it makes sense. However, Vista reached gridlock because at some point (4000 developers is definitely past critical mass), having everybody check in their code at the end of the day is just going to break the build every time. (another reason why they ended up being delayed despite this philosophy is that their code is all intentionally non-modular, which allows them to claim that features like media player are integral parts of the OS to avoid the monopoly rulings.)

  6. Re:It's only going to get worse on Nintendo Profits Up 72%, Sony's Down 94% · · Score: 1

    Yet sony stock (which I own) is up nearly 4% today on strong fundamentals behind the earnings announcements (the losses were do to things like the ps3 delays and battery recalls and were already predicted... today's announcements were actually favorable).

    the ultraviolet light distinction is no longer true. then it was the lack of defects and traces of other elements. that also is no longer a difference. it would take a good chemist to tell them apart.

  9. Re:Real importance beyond jewelry? on Lab Created Diamonds Come to Market · · Score: 4, Informative

    Artificial diamonds now have of these impurities added, just so that they can be indistinguishable (except for some trace elements, as mentioned). There is no jeweler that could tell them apart - and de beers has resorted to putting id tags on their diamonds for this very reason.

    then ps3 has achieved it's goal. it WILL sell you to, and at exactly the price you are willing to pay. perfect economics. where exactly has sony gone wrong?

  13. Re:Hi Rez Content on Games Already Filling Blu-Ray Discs · · Score: 1

    and what about in 5 years at the END of this console's lifespan? the same people paying big bucks for a ps3 are same people with the HDTVs. especially, it's the same people that would be interested in the next gen format war - and sony wants to win it. if you don't want a ps3, it's probably because they're not selling it to you.

    I'd rather play a game in high resolution on my HDTV than in low resolution on an old TV. Simple as that - you're out of your mind.

  17. doesn't matter on YouTube Accused Of Censorship · · Score: 0, Troll

    Wouldn't surprise me too much if this were true; but in either case the audience of youtube is so predominately young and radically liberal, that even if there was more conservative-friendly material on that site it would all get rated out of existence pretty quickly, methinks.

  23. Re:If this is true on North Korea Says It Has Conducted Nuclear Test · · Score: 1

    In fact, if they nuke one city, it's irrational to nuke back, because that invites the nuking of lots of cities; you're better off losing just the one city. but everything depends on the belief that 1 nuke in a first strike -> lots of nukes immediately, everywhere. This is the reason for the big show, the automated retaliation systems, the protocols written in stone and made public. You've gotta look committed to being irrational
