What if the pre-chicken was exposed to some weird radioactive meteor and had its genes changed into that of our feathered friend? Who knows, it could happen. One in a gazillion chance.
Imagine Ballmer as a military commander: "No, I'd rather not examine the captured enemy secret weapon. From now on, all captured equipment shall be ignored! Any soldiers who say anything about the superior capabilities of the enemy equipment shall be placed in one of the suicide squads. Carry on, men! Carry on!"
Don't you mean: From now on, all captured equipment will be smashed up with metal folding chairs!
Now, Doesn't that sound more like Ballmer?
It's going to happen very soon now, as Jack is getting loonier and loonier. He keeps dancing around direct legal threats, because he knows what will happen. Soon he will slip, and soon after that he won't be a lawyer anymore, and won't THAT be a shame?
In the USA, who knows... He could as well end up as Judge in the Supreme Court because he knows the third cousin of George Bush or something.
And sold for $57M in 2004. And yes, Autodesk could royally screw up the film industry, but then the film industry has been cruising for a bruising. You think we have problems with nVidia. The film folks have to be really nice to nVidia for fear that the company will just walk away from that market.
Autodesk is not going to do anything drastic. It would result in financial loss since they are removing a well-established product that already sells. Autodesk would also be putting its own reputation at stake by doing so causing distrust and frustration.
I memorized i. People memorizing Pi and e are too irrational for my tastes.
I don't see how people memorizing their favorite Pi e is irrational... My favorites are Apple and Blueberry. And what does it have to dfo with how it tastes?
When its liberal arts machines getting infected, I've found the BEST firewall to be a pair of wire cutters. NOTHING gets through after the skilled use of these babies.
Unskilled use of wire cutters can lead to extreme pain below the abdomen.
The analogy sort of breaks down there, but the point is we shouldn't ever see a "save point" in a game again. Limited saves were invented for consoles that didn't have the memory to let you "quicksave" (where you can save at any time, any where, with one keystroke like on a PC).
I don't agree with this one. I see save points as a design decision rather than carelessness on the designer's part. If you could save your game every five seconds, then where's the challenge and fun in that?? Everytime you make a mistake you can just reload your game so even the challenging parts of the game become a breeze. There are console emulators on the web that lets you create "save states" allowing you to save your game whenever you feel like it. Does it actually enhance the game? If a game is too difficult, the designers can tone it down or even add a few more save points in between.

For a moment there, I thought Michael Jackson is making a video game.
It's not surprising. That killer cyborg in Terminator 2 has liquid armor. And he's from THE FUTURE.
Does it work with Orc and Undead females, or just the pretty ones like Human and Night Elves? Something interesting the study should have explored.
As proof, here are some Duke Nukem Forever screenshots:

Kaboom!!!

In Soviet Russia, software cracks YOU!
Hmm. An e-mail spammer demonstrates that he is a lowlife scumbag who deserves to be killed.
Why is this considered news?
This is news because he is the Spam KING. He is not just any spammer but a KING. Don't you know how royalty attracts the media like flies???
Are you saying that Greenland will be much more environmentally careful in the hands of the US?
Why did they have to do a nasty thing like that and take the pseudo out of pseudopod???? :(
There are two kinds of people in the world. There are those who have the parasite, and there ware those who don't.
We would do well to follow its lead, and gain the wisdom of parasites There are already human parasites. They are called paparazzi.
Hell, how are they going to play Atlantis? Or are they just going to skip over that. They are probably going to put that in as an expansion pack. =P
By the time this bill gets through, most of humanity will be cyborgs, and you hear music by plugging a cable to the back of your head.
Experts point to the poor environment of the 'PC bang' or Internet cafes that have mushroomed nationwide.
Obviously, if PCs and Internet cafes explode into mushroom clouds you can expect a lot of deaths.

Haven't you heard the old saying? Microsoft is as American as apple pie!
