Damn, if only someone, say some sort of online newspaper, could write an article about what the cuecat was, and the rise and fall of the company behind it. That would be really useful. It would be great if the poster would have taken the time and linked to the article, but heh, that is slashdot for ya. Bastards!
...unless we remove the idiot. Not so hard, send out spam with some new weight loss/viagra/penis-breast enlarger/etc... pills, and make the pills poisonous.
Sure, maybe not high on the ethical scale, but think about improvements to humanity as a whole.
Higher blood pressure: higher work stress. I don't think I need expand on this, it's a well known fact that Americans work more and have less holidays/vacations.
From my experience in the UK with working with Americans, I would say that most stress for Americans comes from having to work with other Americans.
Are they over-reacting. It depends on whether you think a name can make of break a product. The developers have money invested in the Nintendo platform, if it flops they will stand to lose out, possible even lose their jobs. So they are interested in making the thing a success.
Now whether or not the name Nintendo picked is good or bad for business, is hard to judge at this time. The press they have gotten has been considerable, but is it good or not, another hard thing to tell.
I think motorola will beat them to it. It fits in so well with the RAZR, ROKR, SLVR...FOKR. They are just not sure whether the phone will be really good, or really shit!
Don't feel the need to click on every story, and explain in great detail why that story has nothing to do with you. It gets a bit old, realy quick. Just skip the story - a whole new magical world arises, one where you wont feel the need to post irrelevant crap like you just have, and maybe, just maybe, begin contributing something useful.
Ok, so your solution was so good that it blew the network interface (these things don't just go on their own, you know) and that is just fine. Just tell em to have a bunch of replacements ready!
Seriously, bad programmers can come in all shapes, sizes and languages. Maybe Java is easier to program in, but the C/C++ implementation smacks of bad design and coding. Not a huge win to hold up, if you ask me.
That is an idea. Just have one really loud stereo in the dorm, supplying the music for everybody. Anyone can go an take cds and play them. Sure it is loud, but if you want to study you shouldn't be staying in a dorm anyway.
What drives corporate America if not greed? All of the leaders involved have enough money, and could live very comfortably on what they have now. What pushes them to making bigger and bigger corporations, with more and more power? Why do they send lobby groups to washington to ensure the way they live?
This is a strong argument, and no doubt has a lot of backing. But you don't see this everywhere. When I go to tescos, I see dvds selling from £2 to £20. I really believe that cinemas would benefit from selling cheaper tickets when the movie is on its way out.
You could argue a case that they do not legally have to help provide interoperability (but even this is wrong, since they are a convicted monopoly), but the fact that they don't makes some people, especially governments worried. They get concerned when they rely on one company, and only one company for important matters such as recording information. If Microsoft makes it hard for anyone else to retrieve this information, and they do, then lots of people rely on Microsoft.
I prefer the way opera does it. Each tab has a close button dialog. And if you accidently close the wrong one, there is a trash can at the end which lets you 'undo' the close. Right now I can undo any of the last 100 closed windows that I have done. Such a simple add-on, but oh so useful.
Hey, some people like to talk about why they think a movie is bad. People have difference reasons, and in the case of this movie, many different reasons. How dare they! It is just a bit of fun really. You are the only one taking it too seriously.
Their ship is pretty big, One- fourth the size of the moon, although an object that size in near-Earth orbitmight be expected to cause tidal waves, there are none! Why are the aliens using hours and minutes, in their doomsdays signal? If these creatures can field a spaceship a fourth the size of the moon, why do they bother engaging in aerial dogfights with the U.S. Air Force? And why don't they blow up everything at once? Or knock out the Internet with a neutron bomb, instead of simply causing snow and static on TV screens?
If you can handle watching braindead crap like this movie, then all the best to you. You will now doubt never be disappointed, every women you see will be gorgeous, every relationship will be the best, every book you read will provide you with great enjoyment, even if it is a childrens book. I wish I was a 'easily pleased' as you.
And not all hollywood movies contain characters that are stereotypical, just the majority. (the trick is in waiting, the crap ones reveal themselves)
To be fair, the film screws up so badly in all areas, it would be weird if they got the computer stuff right.
How did Jeff Goldblum's character figure out the alien signal? How did they know how to fly the alien ship? All of the characters in this film are stereotypical. The President of the United States of America flies a fighter plane against alien ships. The town drunk is a hero for no reason. I could come up with more, but like a child who had been molestered by her uncle, I don't like thinking about it too much.
Possibly the most idiotic film of the past 30 years.
I have read that site before, and there is an equal proportion of idiots on both ends of the line. A number of the posters on that site expect the callers to have an almost equal understanding of computers as they do - which to be fair ain't that much.
This site is full of people who think: Yes, a lot of people don't know much about computers, lets laugh at them.
I imagine the shortage comes from the fact that having to play the same tune every day, all day would cause any sane person to go mad, and kill themselves. I guess if you are going to do it anywhere, a funeral home is the best place to do it.
Yes, one of the many few nations in all of history. Just like England, France, Spain, Germany, Japan, China, Russia, Italy, Greece..... every nation that you have ever heard of almost (except for Australia!)
Your time will come US, your time will come.
(Not sure what that last statement is meant to imply, but it seems to finish my post on a dark note, which is not a bad thing)
We are too laid back, and that is the problem. Too laid back to give a shit about the government doing so many stupid things, too laid back to do anything about out (other than a handful of people).

Yeah, I am not sure that the real NEC will have to many problems convincing people that they are authentic - for most stuff they would just go through regular channels. For new companies, just invite them to the company headquarters - what they would probably do for a big deal anyway.

Wow, gamers and game developers acting like a bunch of children. I am shocked, shocked it tells ya.

So, one angry man really dislikes another angry man. Wow.
I see something conspicuously missing... ah, thats right, a girlfriend.
Ha, just kidding. With all those consoles, you wouldn't have time for a gf anyway. And, by my experience, you come out ahead on the money.

If not greed, then what is it?
The answer is that pricing sends a signal.

Come on, it has got Holly Valance in it... That is a lot of substance right there!
Usually this sort of shit is aimed directly at kids, but you can't probably say that for DOA.
In short: it's a movie - who gives a flying f*ck?

Yeah, but bush created jobs for 3 brazillians!
How many millions is that?
