I thought this was a method to take care of STOWAWAYS. you know, like people trying to sneak into the country.
My first thought was, "Wow, that sounds effective."
My second was, "But that is kinda harsh."
My thirs, "Cooooooool." I would like to subscribe to your newsletter:)
My sentiment exactly. The results of this type of research must be worth a lot of money, and the way things work, someone is bound to make a bundle. Maybe I can just sue them for my piece of the pie.
I believe this merger will affect all current Oracle and Peoplesoft clients and put them at risk for various reasons. First, I doubt that they will develop a unified product in the short term, but instead will keep selling two distinct products while at the same time dropping R&D funding for either of the two. Peoplesoft acquired JD Edwards in 2003 and to this day they haven't merged their products. JD Edwards's clients are complaining about poor product support and organizational problems within the company itself. The ones harmed so far are JD Edward's clients.
Another point worth mentioning is the fact that mergers tend to create internal disorganization. They will focus and invest time and money in reorganizing while neglecting customer service, product improvement and R&D. The only thing they will accomplish with these successive mergers is strengthening SAP's global position.
EVE is just point&click and requires no skill to play, on top of being extremely boring. There is a small game out there called Jumpgate. It doesn't have the eyecandy that EVE has, but its flight and physics engine is superbly done and the game requires decent hand-eye coordination to be able to fly around. Community is small but very friendly. The emphasis is on PvP, but there are players of every type. Most of the RP is player driven, and money can be made in various ways. Communication between players and devs is constant and open.
The download of the game itself is not very large (121MB w/music 53MB without) and 10 day free trials are available.
Sorry if this sounds like an advertisement, but the game is really great, and the people who play are very passionate about it.

Yep, I agree.

If they had good legal counsel, they would have never had this problem.
If you like spaceflight that is not just point and click, but actually requires skill with a joystick, check out Jumpgate
No.
If you hand over your iPod to the first guy with a knife, you deserve to be mugged.
