Apple did a good job with this by first positioning their video iPod as strictly an old-school ipod mp3 player, which just happened to play video - so that consumers didn't feel like they were buying something and paying for features they wouldn't need or for an audio/video player that did neither well. Now that people have seen how well playing video on the machine works, they should be fine if they want to release a media device targeted mainly towards video. On the other hand, Sony made a big deal about their (proprietory) video playing capabilities in the PSP.
The Chinese Government will recognize the economic importance of the power that google brings to the internet. This gives google leverage to exact change.
Enchantments can be tapped just like any other card. If they are tapped then their effects are disabled. But it is true that enchantments do not have 'tap to do this' abilities.
I'd say it's advantageous to be second to market. The psychology is that the one that comes out later must be better, and have better technology, just because it is released later. Consumers have the idea that they can always 'wait and get the better one'. Microsoft will of course wage a huge marketing war to combat this. But for Sony, I'd say it's in their favor to release their console 2 or 3 months after Microsofts. But delaying the PS3 to 1 year after XBox360 is reaching into a grey area.
This is not a bad thing. In today's economy, we should be trying to inflate the US dollar (hopefully China will unhinge the Yuan), in order to get the economy back on track. Take an elementary economics course before spouting nonsense.
I think people are much more likely to steal dynamic electronic ink posters than paper ones. Unless it's like a billboard or something, I don't see this coming to fruition at all.
What's cool is with my current FC/Windows dual boot I can restart my computer and still have it come back to restore (so when I boot back into Windows, load time ~= 0).
What happens is that I am running Windows and idle out. When I return from sleep mode, for some reason that I don't really understand, my computer is at the initial IBM boot screen again, and then loads into Grub.
I can select windows and it just restores from sleep mode. OR, I can load into fedora core, work around, then Restart My Computer, pick Windows from Grub, and pop right up from where I left off in Windows.
Also, round manhole covers can be rolled. Also they're more man-shaped (cylindrical hole). In fact, holes just tend to be circular (wells are round and they don't have covers). Of course, the classic answer is that they can't fall through the hole (on the other hand, ceiling access tiles are square for the same reason). A circle is the simplest shape that satisfies this constraint, but there are technically an infinite number of shapes of equi-diameter.

WinZip?
Or just focus on a little bit at a time; obviously we can't hold every particle in the universe in memory at a time; we couldn't even do that for a single Hubble Space
In fact, i've heard that it's probably impossible for a perfect strategy in that sense to exist, as there aren't enough atoms in the universe to store the amount of data which would the computer would be required to hold.

I've always wished that an MMORPG would include Prince of Persia style platforming and puzzle solving for dungeons and quests.

I'm pretty sure this is done with O(log x) multiplications by first squaring 2 and then squaring the result, etc.. to fill in 2^x

Well now I've got antipathy...
The kid lacks apathy, and that is a serious personality flaw.
Um.... sympathy?

Yes... I would.
Sorry, I read that three times and still misplaced the conjunctions. Oh well, I have karma to burn..
I don't see much of a reason to upgrade from XP to Win2K either..

Is this common? I think it's pretty cool.
Indeed, i referred to Reuleaux polygons.
By ceiling access tiles, I meant isolated tiles in an otherwise plaster ceiling. Obvoiusly, circles would not tile the plane.
Also, round manhole covers can be rolled. Also they're more man-shaped (cylindrical hole). In fact, holes just tend to be circular (wells are round and they don't have covers). Of course, the classic answer is that they can't fall through the hole (on the other hand, ceiling access tiles are square for the same reason).

if a and b point to the same object, then it really doesn't work... but the addition method wouldn't work either
only temporary values.
Anyway, we're talking about integers which should be primitives

what's with the "why not" and the "*shrugs*"
It's already been said on record (I think by Frank Marshall) that Indy 4 will be set in the 50s.
Jim Carrey, you say?
You are a bad man. You are a very bad man.
They made a pact that they would only make another Indy movie if all 3 of GL, SS, and HF agreed on the script being exceptional.
Sean Patrick Flannery played Indy on TV; RP played Indy only in Last Crusade, then he died.
