One key difference in this new system is that it effectively serves as a history system. People are saying that all this information was available already, but there's a difference between current information being available and an entire history of changes being available... Just ask Wikipedia. If I had some information up before, and I wanted to remove it, I can't do it anymore... it's effectively permanently there.
I don't know that the breakdown is necessarily on a per person basis. Individuals sometimes behave in herds and sometimes independently, depending on the situation. Personally, I would love to discover new and wonderful independent artists. But I generally don't have time to listen to hours of crap to find the gems. It's a better use of my time to listen to something someone else also likes and has recommended.

I can't really think of any compelling party-leaning science fiction stories at the moment. And this translates out to the scifi games I've tried, from single player stuff to MUDs. They've all felt very "lonely." In fantasy, you have clearly defined classes with separate roles and you tend to need a group of them to get anywhere, which is begging for a multiplayer setting.
What about Firefly? It's a pretty party-focused story. I've always thought it would make a great setting for an MMO.
Democratic party supporters came around trying to get us to sign up to vote my freshman year. When I got to the form field that said phone number I said "Well we haven't set up our dorm phone yet." They said, "That's fine, just put down your cell phone." Not thinking, I just wrote it down and handed it to them. About a minute later, I thought better of it and asked them if I could get my form back, because I didn't really want to be called on my cell phone. They said "Sure, just cross it out." I scribbled it out, but didn't like obliterate it... but apparently they put it in their system anyways because I get phone calls from Democratic party people all the time, and that's basically the only place they could have gotten it.
Bottom line is, calling my cell is one level of annoyance. Text messaging me is a whole new level, since I pay per message. So, yah, go ahead, campaign managers, embrace technology by sending messages that are free to send, but cost money to receive. If I get a text message from you, I won't be voting for you.
Yah, my friend was a serious addict (who just recently quit), and part of the way he justified it was that the $156/yr was much less that the 6-8 $50 games he would have bought otherwise.
Sure, that statement, taken out of context, could be interpreted to mean they intend to make every single game compatible no matter what, but I think in that context it's pretty clear that he was not making that claim. His comment was in reply to the question of if they were intentionally keeping a game off the compatibility list. I understood his response to mean "No, we are not intentionally trying to keep any game off the list. We would like every game to be compatible."
So I'd agree that they want every game to be compatible, but I don't think that's the same as promising that they will make it so. I mean the whole action of publishing a list is making it clear that many games are not compatible, and that there are no promises that they ever will be.
I don't get it. Why does everyone go on about there not being a simple phone available?

Because those are all GSM, and the only provider that has coverage where I live uses CDMA.
In addition, I would say when you're poking around, try to learn how to remember what you did, so that you can A. undo it if something goes wrong (hopefully) and B. do it again.
The critical point for computer literacy is to be able to gain enough confidence and familiarity that you aren't dependent on someone else for help all the time (or at least that you don't have to ask for help for the same thing more than once).
Wait, I don't see the advantage to that... if we had OCR technology that advanced, why not just flip the book in front of a normal video camera, since you're flipping faster than you can read anyway.
The study also discovered that people that like the Xbox brand are the most likely to own an iPod and a TiVo while it is the Playstation gamers who are most likely to go outside to see a movie.
While I can see that it is likely that one would have to venture outside for a brief period of time in order to get to the large dark cavern in which movies are shown, in my mind, going to see a movie =/= going outside. It could just be me.
Can it really be considered income, though, if I'm paying to be allowed to make it? Say I pay someone $50 to be allowed to fish in his lake and pull out $25 worth of fish. Is that income? I feel like it's just part of the value I am paying to receive. In the same way, even if the IRS were to determine these virtual goods to be taxable, they still couldn't tax you if you were "earning" less than you were paying in your monthly subscription fee, right? (Maybe if you are making much more than you are paying, for example, a $1 lottery ticket earning you $200 million is taxable...)
Thieves steal honda accords more than any other car. Not because Accords are better, but because they are more common.
You don't see a lot of mac viruses because virus writers are looking for a large population to spread their malware, and macs are few and far between.
That has to do with reasons that do not carry over to computers! The two reasons that the commonness of those cars makes a difference is because: 1. They are easier to sell for parts, because the parts are more commonly needed, and 2. A stolen Accord is unlikely to be noticed among the millions of Accords, whereas a stolen Ferrari is going to draw much more attention.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't DDR2-667 only certified to run at 333MHz? Either way, 471 MHz and 421 MHz are both well above that... It's not as if they're claiming it runs at 471 and it actually runs at 421... they're only guaranteeing it to run at 333... right?
Of all the variables in this study that weren't controlled, I'm glad they controlled for differences in religion. I think they should also try giving the patients communion/passover/eid al-adha/feast of the dragon smoothies and test how that works.
Isn't it sort of illogical to attempt to empirically demonstrate that there is nothing that cannot be empirically tested?
But why would Apple make a deal for the Windows version of Adobe's software to run faster on Apple's hardware? I feel like Apple would be much more interested in, say, a Universal Binary version of Photoshop that ran faster (or just the existence of a Universal Binary at all).

Right. The only way this crash tank thing could be even possible is if it were REALLY REALLY big...
Did anyone else listen to the ilovebees story? A game featuring Janissary James and the other 1.1s could be amazing. Especially if Durga was involved.

Aren't they selling off their XScale line to Marvell?
Seriously, just look at some of the responses in this thread... "Doesn't bother me, they'll be asking me 'Do you want fries with that?'".

Futhermore, she adds, "You guys are right, ok? So will someone please be my friend?"

Then just unplug your mouse from your PC and plug it into a Mac. USB's only been around for like the last 8 years.

360 - Said it would play every XBox game, doesn't. We'll see.
They were pretty upfront about not being able to play every game.

See... If the government would just give away free money, then things people wouldn't do things like this...
