Man, they let it go and shot themselves in the foot. One of the greatest things in FF-X was Blitzball, and they screwed it up in FF-X2 No play, just stare and see how you lose. BLAH.
I for one would welcome a 100%-Blitzball from them. You could play single, teams, or "adventure mode" a-la FF-X, where you'd fight the monsters to gain blitzball abilities or recruit new players.
Perhaps we should mail them and tell them about it?
Carlos Armando Amado filed a patent in 1990 for software which lets users move data between Excel to Access via a spreadsheet. He tried to sell it to Microsoft two years later, but they rejected it. Then it turns out that they DID use his software behind his back, without paying him a dime.
This is not like the EOLAS plugin patent. This is an idea that Microsoft STOLE and got rich with. Microsoft is the one to blame, not Carlos Amado. (They could as well have licensed his technology or simply use an alternative, but did they?)
Good point! However, not all electricity is produced by burning coal and producing CO2. Some can be produced with turbines in rivers. Gasoline is guaranteed to produce CO2.

Obesity Contagious?

What you overlook is that human beings are animals, and hence complex biochemical factories, not simple heat engines.
You're partially right. But eating is not the only way to control your weight.
Maybe you think it is fine for one person to eat 2900 calories a day, do little exercise, and stay thin; while another person eats 2000 calories, walks six miles and gains weight.
Well, I don't think that's fine. In fact, that's PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. Here's an essay about gluttony and the conservation of mass.
By eating you accumulate carbon in your body. But there's no way to get the carbon out except in the form of CO2 (by breathing). Exercises which make you breath at an accelerated rate, will make you lose the carbon out of your body. As simple as that.
Some people do not exercise in the right way, they try to make exercise, but the least exercise possible. Unless the carbon they release daily with exercise is more than the carbon they eat daily, they will still get fat.
In other words, the cause of obesity is not quite eating too much, but exercising too little.
I mean, it'd be fine for anyone doing the research for the sake of the research, but you'd have major IP issues if you tried to market something derived from the research, right?
Well, if the product's worth it, there could be some licensing. But at least we'd have a working product, not an "idea to be researched".
I know, this doesn't solve the patent problem per-se, but it's better than nothing:-/
The reason people prefer P2P than buying DVD's (or CD's for music) is the friggin' overinflated prices imposed on them!
The **AA isn't willing to let go of their precious dollars. And so, they pretend to modernize themselves by offering downloads, but they don't modernize what REALLY keeps them in the jurassic age. The prices.

Sorry, I start running at the merest mention of Internet Exploder
:P
Sorry to inform you that this name's outdated. Internet Exploiter is the latest one.
weren't "long integer" libraries used for these cases? I mean, duh, how do you think we calculate PGP keys?

Does this mean some of the effect of painkillers is due to drinking water?
I almost got a headache trying to contain my laughter at work. Yeah, it's offtopic, but it's VERY funny and I think it's worth it!
This was the most ironic link i've ever seen so far :) thumbs up.
1. Post your chinese blog in Microsoft's pages :D
:)
2. Search using google (with mispelled words) to find your blog.
3. Read!!
Isn't it nice when everyone's working together?

How do they fare in the ACID2 test, compared to their old bloody (everything's red, it must be blood!) result? Can anyone post a screenshot?

Question. Is he rowing that boat because he's running away from the public, all ashamed?
Ooooh i can hear him say: "You will hear from me again, Boing Boing! You will hear from me again!!!"
(At this point the caption "To be continued..." appears on the screen)
Didn't people in WoW reject chinese players who couldn't spell sentences correctly?
This reminds me of the phrase: "Your famine is my feast".
Microsoft found guilty of patent infringement.

Microsoft won't release SP3 but forces us to patch Office? :-/
after all, using cookies is MUCH better than storing the sID in the query string :-S
Of course, i'm all for IP validation.
How about this - some sites could implement IP validation, _IF_ you allow them too.
If I'm a paranoid, tinfoil-hat slashdot type, i could check on the "perform IP validation for a greater security" option.

I R'd TFA and they linked to an article describing cars using around 250 miles/gallon.

[Microsoft] has also expressed fears that making its source code public could allow hackers to find security holes in Microsoft products
/. editors posted Kevin Mitnick's comment about 'hacking' open source code just because of this? Hmmmmm.... *thinks*
Is it just me, or did the
I feel insulted... Do we really need a "security expert" to tell us...

Maybe WE don't. But I know of some people who might.. *cough* mcrsft *cough*.
