"It remains unclear whether it was a deliberately planned nuclear test or it was just an accident," the source in Seoul told Yonhap. "But it doesn't seem to be an ordinary explosion."
At risk of sounding redundant, it is relatively common knowledge...at least among the geek crowd...that all electronics come out of two factories out of Taiwan
I think the parent hit the nail on the head, so to speak.
It's pretty much a standard thing, in any game, that when you get so big to achieve more prestige, market share, or whatever have you, you must take on opponents that are your size (while, in Microsoft's case simply acquiring lesser companies and their assets).
Ergo...OSS is the target large enough now to cause MS problems.
Problem is, you could have made this statement about any of the optical disc formats.
While this can be said about pretty much any optical disk format, the jump from standard DVD's at 4.5 GB's or their dual-layer companion to this is...correct me if I'm wrong...about twice the jump that the standard CD storage level to DVD storage level.
In the end, I'm sure...it's just proof that disk space--optical or otherwise--is geometrically progressing./P?
With all of the talk of "shareholders," I think this scope should be expanded to "stakeholders." This larger group includes the shareholders, those individuals or organizations that own stock in their company.
Stakeholders also include customers, creditors, employees, etc. Is there no sense of social responsibility or ethics left in Corporate America? My personal experience, as well as many other slashdotters, would tell you "no."
How do we stop this? Dollar votes! We are stakeholders! Stop purchasing from them, stop supporting them. One dissatisfied customer will inevitably tell at least 8-12 others about their experience.
You're right...the same process of one neuron firing a biochemical spark to another neuron is something that all individuals have the biological capability (and necessity?) to do.
However, not all people have the quantity of neurons firing that those who easily find "Eureka!"'s do. In this case, it's all about quantity of neurons firing, and not the quality of the person
The music industry is failing to see that this was the same problem, in general, that the United States and Europe faced right before the Great Depression:
Big firms would sell things and expect that to be the reason for people to buy their wares. Not until they realized that they actually had to meet the demands of their customers!
Determine the needs, the wants of the market
Develop products that cater

Has the RIAA forgot the basics of business?
If memory serves, activating the selective service system can happen right around a "full mobilization," acting as the bridge between having all of your forces committed to whatever the current strategy of the National Command Authority is and starting to pick up blocks of soldiers out of the general populace.
As has been touched on previously, this report is most likely some government agency trying to show their importance in a politically-driven military establishment. Someone, somewhere, figures that selectively taking blocks of the general public for pre-determined jobs is a brilliant meet-them-halfway sort of "draft," as to actually enact a draft would likely draw extreme public sentiment when the major parties could be focusing the energies of public sentiment elsewhere.
Bottom line, this probably won't happen unless (as has been previously stated by others) all hell breaks loose.

Exactly. "Early next year" from the article means...recently.
Well, not exactly...

Isn't this the same kind of arrogance that Netscape exhibited back in the day when they were fighting the browser wars against Microsoft?
Why not cross hard science with another popular format such as reality television or a "Ripley's Believe It or Not?"-like program.
The flash of popular culture with the inevitable substance of hard science.

This has to be a giant step forward in bringing optical disk capacities closer to being in line with current capacities of hard disks.
Furthermore, this may just be the media necessary to actually record the new streaming formats that are GB's in size.

I think, instead of saying "virtual monopoly" you meant to say oligopoly.

If California government spent $32 million on this system that has been so controversial, I have just one question:
Why wasn't there more quality assurance involved?
Stupid people piss me off, stupid bureaucrats piss me off even more
