If he is going to start a business in the US he doesn't need a Visa sponsor. Just a shitload a money and a promise to hire Americans. Google for a EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa.
You by renting the game has deprived the game maker of profits. If deprevation of profits is considered theft why is game renting and lending your physical copy legal. Because it is a copyright violation, not theft. Thank you.
My point is that public figures like politicians have less rights in libel law, and you have to show actual malice in order to get damages for libel. In regarding Clinton, there are bunch of conspiracy web sites saying that Clinton was head of an organized murder and racketeering while in Arkansas.
I thought the guy writing the review is Zonk. I believe Zonk is a professional games writer and is the editor of some game blog. games.slash something. Doesn't mean he isn't a shill, but I don't think he is a casual gamer like you and I.
Libe is a civil offense in the USA, and burden of proof is preponderance of the evidence. Since it's a civil case, there aren't prosecutors involved. Actual malice and some affirmative defenses have the clear and convincing standard in certain jurisdictions.
Actually, political free speech triumps over libel laws. That's how you can get away with saying Clinton killed a man in Arkansas. Also free speech triumps over copyright laws, you are allowed to make satrical versions of songs. Thank you 2 Live Crew. Most decency laws on the books have been declared unconsitutional. Yippee for sodomy. Hate speech is still legal. Unlike other countries, in this country it is perfectly legal to say Jews are evil and the Holocaust never happened, and feel free to collect Nazi memorabillia.
Well, the problem is if Juniper was unethical and bribing lawyers, who's to say they would particpate in a fair discovery process. But I am glad at least for now here in America truth is an absolute defense.
Juniper also has the burden to show that these statements caused harm, and economic damages. At least in my jurisdiction. Also, the defendants would have a defense that their comments were made without negligence. IANAL yadda yadda.
I don't know about that, because it is a documentary science type show, they should show what they used. They had one show where Pop Rocks was the sponsor. Now most people know that Pop Rocks doesn't kill. But what if results were that Pop Rocks when used in certain ways did kill people. Then either the show is canned or a generic term is used for Pop Rocks. It annoys me more because I see this and blurring on Mythbusters than any other show on the Discovery Channel.
I don't like how they spray paint over the logos, or blurr out the logos. It's actually quite distracting. When they do a myth, I want to know what brands they use. I like America's Test KItchen, where they sometimes test kitchen myths and how they tell you which brands do well in their test and which ones don't. For example the cola myths, does Coke work better to clean, or does Pepsi work better. That really annoys me.
OpenGL is not DirectX. OpenGL is more like Direct3D. DirectX is more than 3d, it also encompasses sound, joystick inputs, among other things. Even if a game uses OpenGL, chances are that it also uses DirectX. Doom 3 is a famous example of a game that uses OpenGL but still uses DirectX.
I think it was because the lack of control by Fox over the show. Seth McFarland had much more power than Matt Groening did over the Simpsons. Groening also had much more control over Futurama than he had with the Simpsons. There wasn't as big of an incentive for network execs to promote these shows as their own baby projects.
Allen left in the early 80s before MS got evil. If I recall correctly, he got cancer and gave part of his share to Bill Gates when he went through radiation therapy, otherwise he would've been equal to Gates in terms of wealth. It was more of a Allen-Gates company, Allen was older than Gates, and he was the one to convince Gates to quit college to start up MS. If Allen didn't get sick. I wonder how history would've changed.
Bill Gates has said a lot of things. Said a lot of things under oath too doesn't mean I necessarily believe him. It doesn't matter either way. My point wasn't that gaming on Windows is going to die anytime soon. But if it does die, it will be at the hands of MS.
PC gaming will die when MS decides to kill it. The PC/Windows only became a viable gaming platform when Windows came with DirectX as default. All others prior were either Dos based, Mac or Amiga based. Back then console gaming was far superior to Dos gaming, besides the Adventure type games like Kings Quest. With the entrance of FPSes, and DirectX, it was easier for companies to make 3d on Windows. Thereby, more powerful games came out on Windows rather than the Mac. Remember Bungie was a Mac Gaming company. With more powerful hardware, by 2000 PC gaming became far superior to any console out there. In fact my lowly iMac had the ability to emulate a Playstation 1. Consoles could not access broadband, consoles couldn't do high resolution, etc.... By the time PS2, GameCube and Xbox came out. Console hardware became more PC like, with network adapters, hard drives and the like. By this next generation, consoles have the ability to meet the power of a PC gaming system. Do high rez, all three will have built in network ability.
At a certain point, MS is going to decide to stop working on gaming abilities of DirectX on Windows. Why?, that's just the way they are. When was the last time Outlook Express got a good work over. If 360 gets enough of a foot hold in Households, and Xbox games outsell their PC counterparts. MS isn't going to care people stop buying PCs. For each PC Hewlett Packard sells. MS may get like 30 bucks in licensing for it's Windows XP Home. Xbox Live Gold nets MS 50 bucks a year. That's my prediction, MS begat Windows gaming, MS can kill Windows gaming.
Maybe we can put some of these poor into concentrated areas. Maybe camps. Maybe call them concentrated camps or maybe concentration camps where you can perform drug tests, and also other helpful experiments.
The market cannot do the job, that's why government steps in. Your point of open source reinforces this point. The only way you can compete with MS is to offer your product for free or more than free, as open source you also give up some of your rights to the code.
The reviewer was reviewing from the point of view of a moderate gamer who may not have necessarily the skills to tweak the system. A novice would buy a Gamer PC rather than a regular PC thinking that the software is optimized for gaming. I would be mighty disappointed if a gaming computer I bought didn't work with games like the Sims 2 from the get go. So now we know that Dell doesn't really do anything special to optimize Windows for gaming. Not a big suprise to the rest of us, but to some people, it may be.

There was one point where for me every slashdot post required a captcha.
Nope, rental companies do not need permission from the copyright holder. Please see the First Sale Doctrine.

Malicious intent is only for public figures. For normal people, the standard is lower.

Also Alton Brown from the Food network.

You got it backwards, Fox runs President Bush.

Pokemon is sort of a generic term already. It is an abbreviation or if you will a mashup of Pocket Monsters.
Maybe we can put some of these poor into concentrated areas. Maybe camps. Maybe call them concentrated camps or maybe concentration camps where you can perform drug tests, and also other helpful experiments.
No there are people to administer the drugs and take blood tests and the sort, like nurses and the like.
