    If, as an engineer, you signed off on the final product and it failed it doesn't matter what concerns you expressed to management, you signed off on it, it's your ass facing the negligent homicide trial.

    if wikipedia strikes them down they will be legion, they will not forgive, they will become horrible uncaring monsters, and they will still deliver.

    if your company has financial dealings with wikimedia suddenly whole sections of WP: don't apply to you. conflicts of interest are OK, non-notable articles are great, and editwarring anyone who points this out will get them banned not you.

    i was looking at the iliad, but the cost was a bit high so i went with the bookeen cybook. i assume many people made the same choice since they are posting warnings about the delay when you order due to unexpected demand.

    you forgot to remove references to you being a wikipedia administrator from your profile.

    there are at least a dozen of you out tonight trying to slam the victim of this embedding a web bug is not spyware, especially when it reveals that the administrator really is sharing confidential info to exactly the people he shouldn't be.

    wikipedia is drenched in corruption and cliques.

    not at all, if anything it's a continuous cost as after comcast deploys filter X, countermeasure Y will be spreading rapidly in days and comcast has to either tweak software or buy more hardware, depending on just how effective countermeasure Y is.

  9. Re:There are no structure on the moon on Chinese Moon Photo Doctored, Crater Moved · · Score: 1

    so some guy plays a joke on the electronics repair guy and suddenly it's a huge cover up?

    much more likely the photography techs were showing off a bit to colleagues just what they could do with a bit of time and some pictures of the moon, the resulting photos kicked around and the airman working there thought of the best prank ever in the middle of explaining how the system works.

    So why should IrSeeK comply? because angry people on IRC can do a lot of bad things to a particular person, just ask the guy who made subeta, and that was just *chan. Lets see how the CEO of IrSeeK likes being the target of every Rageholic, sociopath and wannabe terrorist on IRC.

    actually hormel wins

    to protect the SPAM trademark for the meat they had to at least pretend to do something about companies calling it spam.

    now it has been ruled that the word spam referring to email is not infringing and frees them of any need to do so.

    what's wrong with doing the newsletter in excel? if it works good enough and douesn't require software purchses or additional software training it's good enough. it's a newsletter not a national marketing campaign.

  19. Re:Guilds, Associations, Unions, etc. on Striking Writers May Work on Games · · Score: 2, Insightful

    price is still decided by the market, the employees vote on the employers proposal and decide to accept the offer if is is sufficient. the purpose of unions is to balance out the fact that the employer ALWAYS wins a war of attrition. the plant can shut down or run at reduced capacity with scabs and still make money, since the employees who are missing aren't getting paid. the employees OTOH don't have their bills go down since they aren't working, it's also much easier to select a temporary replacement employee than it is to find a company willing to hire you "just long enough for to negotiate with my real job for a raise"

    I suspect the court will rule the extreme statutory damages amount to a fine rather than compensation for a tort and thus can only be imposed after a criminal trial.

  22. Re:PRE-RELEASE on Orange Box Dysfunctional on the PS3? · · Score: 1

    onboard chipsets use slow system RAM and inferior GPU's.

    assuming that equal amounts of memory are used in both, the unified architecture saves you the space of duplicated data structures and the time shuttling data back and forth. this is assuming that the video chipset is allowed to read the RAM in use by the CPU. if the CPU and GPU simply divide it up there isn't much advantage.

  25. Re:PRE-RELEASE on Orange Box Dysfunctional on the PS3? · · Score: 1

    the unified architecture does however eliminate the waste in having textures and models loaded in both VRAM and RAM, it also moves the opposite direction as sony's "lets break everything into a fustercluck of little bits and hope everyone wants to learn to code for a massively different platform type with truly asinine resource constraints. SONY thought they could raise the barrier to multi-platform releases, and they were right, but they didn't count on being on the wrong side of the barrier.

    porting a game from the 360 to the wii means simplifying some models and textures and rethinking the control scheme (and with the classic con option you really do have a lot of flexability in this) to go from 360 to PS3 means you need to retrain your developers AND scratch basic assumptions that have been common to game development since the 3D accelerator card became common.
