As someone that was 10 when the atari came out in Australia, I had one, many of my friends at School had one (and we lived in a country town) as we traded games regularly at school. So I can say you are full of shit, not to mention atari was hardly the first or only videogaming experience of the time. if you want to target an age group that grew up without videogames you most definitely need to add at least 5 years to your demographic, most probably more.
Soooo you believe that something that controversial would sit on a public site unnoticed for 5 days? or do you think there is some chance the date of the article is part of the joke?
From what I have seen in the past 40 years of my life the insanity occurs when you allow the judge and/or the prosecutors to determine sentences. We see murders walk away with slaps on the wrist, pedophiles gien chance after chance after chance to reform because they were polite to the judge and claimed they were "honestly sorry" for their crimes. Justice is supposed to be blind, treating all equally and that doesn' happen often enough nowadays, if judges/prosectors were more consistent and sane with their treatment then minimum sentences would not be needed.
That will be disappointing news to the 10's of thousands of 4G users currently in Australia..... hmmmmm nope my 4G phone is still working fine as is my 4G wireless modem I am currently using to post this. perhaps you just don't know what your talking about?
The fine print doesn't make the case shaky at all. In Australia if your ad can be misconstrued as advertising something they don't provide, then no amount of fine print, small print, eula or any other disclaimer they want to add will excuse them from the false advertising laws. They are there to protect consumers from being tricked into making a purchase based on misleading advertising and the litmus test is whether a reasonable person could be fooled into thinking that buying a IPAD 3 would give them 4G access in Australia, given the ads that is a pretty definite yes.
Really why?Are HR people supposed to understand how the tech behind searches work now? In today's world if the job is any good there are 10 times the number of candidates than actual positions (and that is being conservative). While she may have done something stupid, when she is probably sifting through 100's if not thousands of resumes just about any small thing is enough to sift out someone so there is one less person to review. Fair or unfair that is reality, if you have 2 days to review 1000 candidates for positions then you can't possibly give them all a fair go so anything that suggests a possible way to dump some will be used even if said method turns out to be wrong.
They only did that with the First Xbox as they had no choice. Nvidia were screwing them over big time and had iron clad licensing terms about what they could and could not do. MS did the only thing they could do, learnt their lesson and moved onto a new platform where they control the licensing terms for both software and hardware.
This is an idiotic move, it will mean less competition and even more expensive prices. At worst they should have let them bid and just dropped their tender in the bin, by removing them completely it will just allow what little competition there is free reign to overcharge us.
The thing is, given such a discount and the same rules anyone "can" do exactly the same thing. The problem is the vast majority of people are not discipled enough to do it or have the starting capital required (even when the odds are in your favour you can lose to start with). So yes they will probably make a ton off undiscipled people, but if they continue to offer such discounts you can be assured many others will take them for a fortune.
ok, please show me ANY poll that currently shows labor ahead. Sorry but you are living in a dream land if you think they have actually increased in popularity since the last election rather than decreased and that is the only way they can be ahead. AS for Abbott, I could not agree more, he is a terrible choice and I hope to hell he never gets in, but right now he would be a certainty unless something significant changes between now and the next election.
You mean that same governer general who is appointed by the GOVERNMENT! besides which what the hell country are you living in if you think labor are the preferred party in two party preferred, I suggest you go look at the polls, Labor/greens would get absolutely annilated if an election was called anytime soon.
telling someone that wants critique of his current work to go and do a whole new swag of work on some other project while would provide him with feedback (much of it negative and argumentative about style rather than real substance) is really about the hardest possible way to go about this.
If you really want comments on your work you need to find someone with experience that is willing to give up some time to mentor/review your work. "Sometimes" you may even find the odd lecturer that has some industry experience, though they seem to be pretty rare and many have a highly inflated (and unexplanable) opinion of there own work. Or perhaps look at some of the online programming forums, many people want peer reviews and swapping code for review not only gets your own work reviewed but gives you exposure to what others produce.
There have been a number of industry experts/pundits in the last couple of months making public announcements that they have secret insider information that a new xbox would 100% guarenteed be at E3, MS needed to make an annoucement to put those idiots that like to make up such announcements back in there little box so people that are hanging out don't get such a huge disappointment when E3 rolls around. Expectation management.
IF all you do is use it to browse the web then an Ipad isn't the perfect device at all, it is probably the least perfect as it is the one most likely to experience problems on sites (lack of flash and other addin support) and is an extremely expensive web browser compared to other options. The Ipad is really the perfect device for people that play with apps, and simple media and photos and sometimes browse the web too.
Your baffled? I am completely baffled how this even became a story, these rental/try before you buy services have existed for decades now, what suddenly makes them newsworthy?
Is it time to trash the old and invent something new, something mere mortals can embrace, and actually create secure implementations?
The funny part about your post is your idea of a solution is actually the current problem. Technology is changing so fast that No one can have a modern popular functional end user browser while being secure. Security IS HARD, No matter how good a programmer you are you can't possibly imagine every possible type of new exploit technique that will be created tomorrow, next week or next year. It is even harder if every few years you have to rewrite everything, your idea would just bring about a raft of new security issues..
It's a gaming console in an industry with lots of competition, you claim it is a matter of principal yet you are still considering PS4. Either your principals mean very little to you or you are just posturing.
much of that money he is stealing is everyday tax payers that have to fund the court system, patent office etc etc etc. So damn right it is evil and makes him one of the worst sorts of parasites. Not to mention the companies he sues just pass on the costs to everyone else anyway.

me thinks that before getting indignant about this, people should probably check the date.

???? and what the hell does a CLI vs GUI have to do with security in this case?
Me thinks you need to do a little more research before posting. CERT or maybe secunia may be enlightening for you.

I don't think making your own definitely of optimal up qualifies. the optimal solution is maximum score, in least time with no deaths.
NExt you will be telling me that Monster audio cables don't make difference or that Monster SATA cables don't make my 1's and 0's crisper and clearer.
Except each attempt there always seems to be some numbnut that thinks perhaps is would work better with square edges .

Ahhh so because there are other evil companies out there it doesn't matter that we add one more evil doer to the list. great philosophy/
