The truth of it is, it's not a fair comparison, movies (films) aren't interactive, games are, but for what his comparison is worth a demo of a film is the trailer...what else could you have?
"He said: 'A free demo is a luxury we have in the game industry that we don't have in other industries such as film. " isn't a demo of a movie called a trailer?
What does that teach them? Don't do anything regardless of what it is unless you're "bribed". That said I know I will get flamed for saying that, but I think it instills an attitude of don't anything unless you get paid, loses touch with what education is and should be.
Sounds like the wrong reason to build a search engine "hey this is valuable data lets make our own proprietary system so we can profit and to keep the data away from google"
The decision to go to war is always held in a small number of hands, those who decide, those who initiate are the few, rid the situation of them and there is no war. The average citizen isn't interested in war, only the greedy and insane are.
I love this, people that have never been in combat debating war, nothing makes you look like an ass faster. "people have been saying this since the invention of the thrown rock" and they were and are correct, dropping bombs on weddings in Iraq from Las Vegas then going home to your wife and kid is a fucked up way to war, you should have to see it first hand, feel it, smell it, and die with them as well. War sucks.
You obviously aren't familiar with how this works, you can't "take your time" often your target is only available for a short period of time and then quite often surrounded by "non targets". On the ground you can "take your time".
These thing remove the human element to much, from dropping missiles onto weddings and random cars they target from "intel" received. I think you should have to send in meat soldiers if you want a war, get verification of who your killing, this is making it to easy to unclear to dangerous morally
The USA, it's safer and conducive to enterprise, and with the economy in the pits a great time to negotiate with state governments, not to mention the karma factor Mr Dell.
I'm older and going back to school with a laptop taking notes in class was not working for me, I was easily distracted by either the program I was using, some technical issue, or fighting for the one power socket in the room and in the end I found I had poor recall and reviewing notes on the computer was, frankly, a drag. Switching to paper kept me engaged, no technical issues, easy on my eyes to review, and the information stayed with me longer. Not sure how it is for younger folks but paper note taking works best for me.
I tried to get a community college to switch over to Linux based systems strictly for their image libraries (pictures used in classrooms) because their aging slide projectors were going the way of the dinosaur, I had a nice tidy system set up using Gallery 2, it was fast, efficient and cost *nothing*, the other program they were looking at was $40K, with no support. When I brought up the switch to the IT team at the school the head guy broke into a rage, was literally frothing at the mouth in outrage "there's no way we will do that". Basically it translate to this for these guys "I'm old, I don't want to learn anything new, and as long as I have a M$ product I have someone else to blame" and of course, a healthy spoonful of fear of the unknown (that being Linux). The seat licenses and software for M$ based systems is a huge part of their yearly budget, to bad they can't see any other way.
I don't use consoles so not up on that, I have heard rumors of hacking occurring using the IWNET style connection. The constant interruption in game play is what I can't tolerate, choppiness, never play with the same group of guys, lousy VOIP set up (see Quakewars for a good VOIP setup). to make it short FRUSTRATED.
Here's hoping the pair were trying add a dedicated server mode in addition to IWNET, or that Activision is going to implement dedicated servers, or that someone at that company actually cares about the end user. Otherwise, one of the best games I've played in terms of playability, weapons load out, and graphics is hobbled by IWNET, "migrating Host", no admin, no kicks, to many hacks (PC side) no end user mods, the list goes on.
Did you read the article? There is a specific line that states "Last year, privacy watchdogs in the U.K. formally complained after its introduction there", I chose to respond to that bit because the UK is notorious for "privacy abuse".

But part of what sells thee film is not knowing the outcome, so what would you put in a short edit that wouldn't give to much away?

Yeah sure, the "delicacy" of the receiving end of a predator missile, keep fooling yourself.
Do some research, what little info there is implies most UAV attacks are on bad/limited intel, other wise the "war" would be over.

Peace you moron.

Take comfort no one is targeting you...yet.

Rapidshare has shuttered it's "windows" and gone out of business.
Wrong.

And a plethora of other results.
They "pay all their taxes" but thru tax avoidance techniques no where close to what they should be paying.
But in this climate they can negotiate for lower taxes, besides how many corps actually pay their taxes? That's what the Cayman Islands are for.

There's your missing mass, the Universe is cyclic and will collapse!!!
By no means do I know what I am talking about.

They (being the gov) could just enforce current laws, and remove things like special order 40 in order to enforce immigration law.

Currently the only thing any of you should be concerned about is the second amendment laws and how they are interpreted by state.
Any one have an idea if the security risk are any higher using HTML5? Or will it be the same risk just different types of vulnerabilities?

Privacy "watch dogs" in the UK are concerned, but the 300 CCTV cameras per block aren't a problem?
