One of the under-appreciated things about the Q3 and D3 engines is that demos are essentially a recording of the network stream. So running imedemo on a demo will be extremely accurate for real world performance.
Now you're just propping up straw men by mentioning Kenya. China and Russia both have space programs. Many more countries are able to launch satellites. You are very quick to resort to insults and being condescending (was it really necessary to start your post with "Um"? I didn't really think so) rather than discussing the facts. As you seem to now insinuate Earth observation is "pointless shit" I can't quite understand what you're even trying to argue.
While your condescending use of an expression is great and all, is there a reason another country CAN'T take this up? You didn't do much to answer the question.
I have worked in a Windows publishing house. I have worked in a Mac publishing house. I've visited countless shops throughout Rochester. The majority of the print workflow you describe is frighteningly inaccurate.
The original source can come from anything from a text file to a Word document. Most often, it's Word. You're right there. However, the writers aren't concerned with that too much, they use what they are comfortable with. They use a Word processor to.. process words.
The book goes into Quark BEFORE going to press? If by every step afterward you mean it goes into Quark, then yes, you'd be correct. There are several hundred thousand dollar solutions dedicated to managing your Quark & InDesign files, and your assets. Check out Xinet and Dalim and Documentum and etc. The authors are out of the chain by this point. The page designers work in the page layout programs. They upload their changes to Xinet, where it is opened by the editor, marked up, changed, and approved or sent back. It's only THEN converted into a print-ready PDF. That lonely guy at the end of the hall you describe is actually 2/3rds of the workflow.
The only people that use Word are the original authors. The page designers wouldn't subject themselves to doing page layout in word. That notion is just preposterous.
I honestly can't say where you got your impressions from, but they seem to be extremely off base. This is coming from someone who went to college for print, has talked to people throughout the print industry, and now works in print.
It's Sony's game, if they don't want protests in the world, they're more than free to take it on-line. I have no sympathy. This time, supposedly they just sent in droids to fight them.
Go on their forums if you want to speak out, DON'T SCREW WITH THE REST OF OUR EXPERIENCES!
To me, how much you do something doesn't make it addictive, it's whether it starts interfering with normal life. I probably easily surpass the requirements, however I still have a perfectly normal social life.
If terrorism is the same as communism, why will we live in a corporate controlled company when we grow up, whereas we didn't during the communist scare?
Reminds me of those freeware discs you'd buy at the seedy tradeshows. Where's Enemy Territory? Where's the Doom/Doom2/Quake/Duke3D/Quake2 engine ports, with SIMPLE instructions to get your full version running?
I wish the Enemy Territory Knoppix LiveCD someone made a while back was updated, and with easily addable mods, that's something I would carry around me for boring days after school, and the such.

It's actually a trick. By seeing who posts here, we can tell who really DOES read the article!
"Windows" is also a disallowed word.

As a webdeveloper, you should know that the ACID2 test is pretty retarded and pointless
I see, so because you don't want to take a fucking cruise ship, suddenly it's your right to fly on planes with no security measures?
I thought they were collaberating with G4 for their E3 coverage. That would make a lot of sense for this move, no?

The problem is some people ARE being forced to use their lists, because they have no say on it, or have to send e-mail to someone who DOES use them.
It's not technically correct, however I highly doubt this is going to cause an epidemic of people assuming that means Canada is the US.
see: nitpicking.
It's mostly on that Nick Games and Sports channel. Which is mostly all the "retro" shows.

One day it shall be revealed that scientists have just been playing cruel jokes all these years, and that most of those words are made up.
It was closer to 980M. I actually did it :) Every single object, however I don't remember the exact number.
I get my internet from cable. That's the only way I can get high-speed internet.
Unfortunately, very rarely do people have 3-4 options for their connection.

The parent is modded funny WHY?
You mean they might offer you savings? Hey, if they want to give me rebates or sales, then I won't complain.
So how does this work, will there be a arrow labelled "THIS IS NOT A NUKE!"?
Will a preview of the next Harry Potter be blasted to the sky?
They said they were *working* towards XHTML strict. Just as you (hopefully) wouldn't say that about a beta with a work in progress feature.

I think the point is if a modder in his spare time can do it, a professional company certainly can.
I could've sworn I've been hearing that for about a year now.
