  1. Re:What an epiphany! on Sony Profits Conundrum · · Score: 1

    not entirely correct.

    Vido games have more value in playing it right away than cars do. there aren't many suprises in cars and hearing a lot about a car doesn't affect it's value. a used game does have diminished value because over time more similar but better games may come out. even if the absolute value of the game remains constant (game server population doesn't decrease) the marginal benefit of the game does go down when for $5-$10 more than the used game you can pick up a better, similar game new.

    china is so free that posting a similar sentament against the chinese government on slashdot.cn (if it exists) would result in your arrest and possibly execution

  4. Re:Censored Google is Good for China .... on Why Google in China Makes Sense · · Score: 1
    if you look at a search for "other stuff" look at the bottom of the page. Google.cn - "other stuff"
    then look at this search for Google.cn - "tiananmen square"

    on the apparantly censored search after the search results thare is a fairly long line of black text

    according to babelfish the line of black text reads
    "According to the local law laws and regulations and the policy, the part searches the result not to demonstrate"

    have you actually used GIS before?

    it gives you a page of tiny thumbnails which link back to a framed version of the source page and a link to the original image.

  6. Re:U.S. Military Rules. on When Data Goes Missing Will You Even Know? · · Score: 1

    that is a terrible policy, it solves the problem by assuming rules will be followed. except the problem comes from people not following the rules and therefore solves nothing.

  7. Re:Watch the log files! on When Data Goes Missing Will You Even Know? · · Score: 1

    you could also just remove the USB mass storage device drivers from your standard disk image and have certain workstations with USB storage enabled which require a sogin as well as monitor which files are being sent to a USB drive.

  11. Re:Retailers charge too much for older unused game on Secondhand Games Stifle Innovation? · · Score: 1

    look at the portables market and you do get compilations. I picked up a GBA compilation of arcade games for my DS, there are also two - in - ones such as DR mario and some other game on one cart.

    nintendo has always made money on their hardware, that is one of the reasons they can afford to ignore 3rd party publishers when they choose to.

  16. Re:I want one... on New Sony E-Book Device To Debut This Year · · Score: 1

    thet would be completely overkill. my REB with a 32 meg card and 8 megs internally holds around 70 books. 1 gig of flash memory holds more than enough books for even the most avid reader. having a docking station with a hard drive wouldn't be a bad idea, but killing the battery life to hold even more books you don't have time to read would just add expense for no gain in usefullness.

    the point of collecting such a vast amount of data is to strike a balance between additional sales and a confusing layout.

    also the displays i was discussing don't go on the shelf but either hang from it or go in a basket near the aisle

    fingerprint locks are stupid. they are nothing more than an unchangable password that you leave on everything you touch.

    more likely they have to sue in order to find out who on their staff leaked the info, then the real suing can begin.

    nope. most older viruses were computer viruses, taking advantage of disk boot sectors and such. they were aware of the OS as far as finding thier next target but it wasn't vulnerable operating systems which made them work.
