Apple builds a crippled device (iPad) and sell 1M of them in one month. Why Google isn't allowed to do it too? Because it "would just make OEMs even more hesitant to use a Linux-based OS instead of Windows" should it fail? Just hope then that the "Year of Linux Netbook" isn't after the "Year of the Linux Desktop"...
Replace "Adobe" with "Apple" and "Flash" with "closed."
Before:
Adobe's Flash products are 100% proprietary. They are only available from Adobe, and Adobe has sole authority as to their future enhancement, pricing, etc. While Adobe's Flash products are widely available, this does not mean they are open, since they are controlled entirely by Adobe and available only from Adobe. By almost any definition, Flash is a closed system.
After: Apple's closed products are 100% proprietary. They are only available from Apple, and Apple has sole authority as to their future enhancement, pricing, etc. While Apple's closed products are widely available, this does not mean they are open, since they are controlled entirely by Apple and available only from Apple. By almost any definition, closed is a closed system.
You missed the "when someone kills a monster". But probably is a habit of your party to take sentences out of context just to attack the opposing one...
That's anyway better than being closed-minded and not using the best tools for the job.

And when you buy into open phones, you either get incompatible devices like Android (http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=10/02/23/1616221) or *cough cough* Openmoko. I prefer to put my money into something that works well and not into a "RMS approved" device.
In theory, MMORPG are more profitable than other games because:
1. They bring money from monthly fees if P2P or microtransactions if F2P 2. As you need to connect to a server with a valid account, cannot be pirated
Seeing the low quality of the latest games (the cannot possibly keep a large number of players after a couple of months), it seem to me that the second reason is the real one for the constant production of new MMORPGS (companies are more interested in the "fast money" from boxes sold)

Create (or use your own if it doesn't contain information you care) and start to mess up with any kind of information you think they will gather. Create music compilations with no sense, change your humor randomly, become friend of people with nothing in common and so on. Be creative!
or teaching a language to non programmers children and sending them to Informatics Olympiad after two months is pretending too much? In addition to the language, you must first teach them very basic concepts like variables, loops, recursion... As soon as they start to digest them and write their first "Hello World"... BANG! You send them to Informatics Olympiad!
I run away from MMORPG forums because they're full of whining people ("The game isn't the same anymore! It caters to casuals now!") and find the same whines here...
latest expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, the endgame has been made substantially easier than before. But has been added the possibility for players to unlock "hard modes" that present in many cases a much greater difficulty.
You know what? People complain that the game is too easy (even if they never tried the hard modes). Or that hard modes are too hard. Or that hard modes are too easy because top world players (not them, someone else!) were able to beat hard modes in few days.
Currently gives the number of civilization with which is possible a contact equal to 2.31. This assume the parameter L (the expected lifetime of such a civilization for the period that it can communicate across interstellar space) equal to 10000. If now L has a value of 100 instead, the the number of civilization with which is possible a contact would be 0.0231.
Time to move the funds from SETI to something that has a greater chance of producing results maybe?

"The problem is sorting them out from the 10,000 other useless artists"
Useless as in "not making good music" or as in "not making profit"?
Surely is the latter, or no boy band would have ever seen the light.
And I'm pretty sure who, between Leonard Cohen and Beyonce', a major that could make only one contract would choose.
I'd be quite scared to be launched on the Moon by a company that asked suggestions about the tools to use on Slashdot!
