Because it isn't accurate. Are you watching the movie, waiting in line for icecream, or waiting to pick up your daughter from the movies with your phone in your briefcase?
Usually because narrow minded individuals such as yourself fail to see past one simple error. Are you proud of the fact that you would disregard any job applicant or proposal because of such trivialities? Food for thought. I mean if it is full of mistakes, I understand, but one. However it is 3 in the morning, sure i mispelled something, so please disregard. Idiot
Maybe you need to spend more time writing your resume. Instead of producing 3am in the morning bullshit.
I Have real problems with VR interactivity. This might sound pointlessly obvious but in in the real world everything feels ok because it is real. Let's use the SCA/Re-enactment point you bought up. If I go out and smash Bob in the head with my sword/stick I actually swing a real bit of something into someones head. My arm feels natural, my weapon moves in natural ways. In VR it doesn't. Imagine blocking a shot; how do you emulate that in a VR world without essentially a powered suit?
In my opinon VR sucks wang, AR is much, much more interesting.
I used to tutor multimedia/graphic design students in their later physical computing studios. It is true that many of them were very computer savvy, the vast majority of them didn't really know the inner workings of a system. In fact, we had a 51% collusion rate in introduction to programming (the year before I started) because those students refused to study.
How many times have you played a team-based FPS (like Counter-Strike), only to run into some asshole who thinks that shooting you in the back constantly is "funny"?
In my quake/tribes days I used to get booted and banned from servers because they thought I was using bots. Your vision isn't flawless.
Has any MMOG made any system that can't be abused?

It is telling that I had to go look up the Java interface (I am a professional Java developer and have been for 8 years), while the Perl came naturally (I am pretty good with Perl, but I only use it for scripting support).
So, in other words; you don't use regular expressions in Java very much? Do you need to look up how to use BufferedReader every time you need to write to a socket?
I don't think the artical is stating that 50% of NA businesses only use linux. The artical interchanges OSS and Linux, which leads me (and many others) to believe that they really mean OSS. So, if your application developers us Eclipse to develop on, then your business uses OSS in some regard.
Australian management is very slow to respond to anything new. Unless it has proven fiscal success in America and/or Europe (preferably both!), they are just not interested.
Critical mass has a lot to do with this. Australian business simply can not afford to take economic risks for a marginal success. Seeing what works and what doesn't in larger population bases gives at least a basic idea about what should happen here.
Interest in technology or design/engineering concepts that are yet to be proven only seems to arrive because of a managerial import from America or Europe (CEO/CTO).
Lastly, on the point of OSS; I can't think of a single medium (or larger) business that I have been involved with that didn't use some sort of OSS. Chances are that most of the IT Managers in this survey are not aware of the open source nature of all of their applications or they surveyed many small business owners.
That being said, *nix on the desktop (even corporate desktop) is almost a joke in this country. Even if a business makes a economic decision to move to *nix, the reality of the situation here will quickly move them back into reality.
Microsoft is practically ubiquitous in homes around the country; even Apple is very rare. This has a direct effect on the expense on transitioning your workforce to a new operating system, chances are nobody you employ (other than your IT staff) have any experience with *nix.
A smaller, but longer term problem comes to human resources. People become more expensive to hire (you need to train them) and thus more costly to loose. This leads to a secondary effect of keeping people who are woeful to your business, simply because they know the system. It is a sorry state.
It will change, probably 5-10 years after the US/Euro, but then we will be behind somewhere else...
I have ran into many chinese gold farmers who say "i no farm, i jsut chinese, like to play game, you take me to group ok?!" You let them in despite your better judgement. Once the final boss is down they steal everyting and say "im sorry i not good english i not know rules kthxbye"
Assuming you got the source media legally, then your licence agreement would cover it. If you were going to onsell someone elses show, they woud charge for it.
In consequence, most studios are going to opt to pay $2 per episode over $2 million.
You have obviously never tried to pitch something to marketing before. It is easier to pitch a two million doller project than a two doller project, if only because the later doesn't have as many buzz words.

Eclipse! Amazing IDE! Handles refactorings, remote revision control, builds & deployment, Javadoc tooltips and it 'knows' Java well. You'll never get compile-time errors and very few run-time errors.
You think eclipse is good? You should try IntelliJ IDEA. It is what Eclipse tries to be.

Stronger than what? In what regard? How do you measure that? What metrics do you use to validate this claim? Can you cite validations or is this pr?

The Soviet Union pretty much collapsed all by itself.
I don't think Blizzard can fix its problems simply by adding more hardware. I think they have simply fracked their design, and fracked it hard.
Phase 1: Let people steal our software
phase 2: Those people get hired as graphic artist and can only use photoshop
Phase 3: Profit

Don't release crappy games!
Although, I do prefer netbeans GUI builder over the intellij one.
