It was for their own protection. The poor unfortunate airplanes had completely lost their grip on reality, and believed themselves to be ocean liners.
When the 737s started terrorizing maintenance workers on the runway by taxing over to them and shouting "I'm a luxury cruise ship, play shuffleboard on me damn you!" we knew it was time for the padded hangars.
I think there may be a little extra Mercury in the fish supply. All the fish have grown little moustaches and started singing about champions and radios.
Save for turntablism, I don't see a market vinyl. And even for that, useable mp3/cd turntable mixers are coming down in price that can make that obsolete.
The hardcore turntablists generally look way down at the mp3/CD-based "scratching" devices. It seems to be partially an elitist thing, but not totally, as getting the same results out of both media takes markedly different skill sets. In many ways it's like the difference between a full band, and one person with a MIDI keyboard simulating a full band.
Not only that, but the collapse of E3 has reminded the industry (and the media who cover it) the dangers of putting all your eggs in one basket. It's the same reason no one event has sprung up to fill the void left by COMDEX.
..was when ye olde 8-bit and 16-bit games became easily emulatable on me desktop!
And surely 'twas made all the sweeter when it became easy to find ye massive torrents with all of each system's entire calalogue o' ROMs in a single RARrrr, matey!
Diebold's primary business is to make ATM machines. They obviously understand security and correctness of results. Why can't they build voting machines properly?
They obviously can. Yet, they are choosing not to. That's why it's really frightening.
It seems that they will allow people to "remix" the videos, so in that case it wouldn't really make much sense to DRM it. And besides, the video quality on youtube is absolute crap, it's not like they are protecting a high definition music video on a Blu-Ray disc.
Will we be able to "remix" the clips by downloading them and running them through After Effects or whatever other video software we like, allowing people to do everything from put lightsabers in the hands of the Beastie Boys to replacing Madonna's backup dancers with bloodthirsty CG velociraptors? Or will this be the "Make My Video" style "remixing" that comes from someone whipping up a halfhearted point-and-click gadget with a few bells and whistles and royalty-free stock footage, as occasionally featured on a few musicians' websites and some seizure-inducing Sega CD titles?
As for the quality, it is of course crap, but there are lots of people who keep their video iPods and similar gadgets stocked with neat stuff from Youtube, and the quality suits the tiny screens just fine.
I tried reading this, but the grammar center of my brain imploded. This would have been a far more intellegible interview had they actually interviewed The Cheat.
I don't want to crap in anyone's Monday morning cornflakes, but could this possibly have negative impacts on Youtube as we know it? It's fairly easy to extract the FLV file from Youtube's streaming player, I think there's even a Firefox plugin. The FLV can then be converted to whatever clean video format you like, and archived for offline use. If Warner gets tied up with Youtube will they be okay with that, or will they perhaps force Youtube to "upgrade" to something with DRM?
HP also fessed up to spying on its own spokesman, whose personal phone records were taken.
How exactly did they fess up to that? I can just see the spokesman reading a memo to reporters..
"...and we at Hewlett Packard also regret using false pretenses to obtain the personal phone reacords of their spokesman, one Mr..... the freaking HELL?!"
This makes sense.. during the whole PS2 era, I've only bought maybe three new games in all that time. I usually only buy off the used racks or trade with friends, which I imagine doesn't put that money in Sony's pocket again. I'm not sure exactly how the math works out, but I wouldn't be surprised if I haven't even subsidized my console yet despite having a sizable library of games.
At one point, yes they did own a taxi service and "love hotels"(which are not brothels, they are basically hotels rented by the hour with the express purpose of having consenting adults do things in them which one would rent a hotel by the hour for)
They got out of that business after all those complaints from male clients who just couldn't make it past World 2.

If "Stream Computing" is even half as revolutionary as "Blast Processing," count me way the hell in!
SEGA!!!
If that's the most disturbing thing that happens in your local theater's men's room, then things have really changed since I last went to the movies.
So if Second Life is your Third Home, does that work out to 2/3s of a homelife?
If you're going to attempt something like this, you might as well do it with a project named after a carnival game.

Yesterday they were putting lasers on a chip. Today it's engines. Tomorrow, I suppose I'm just going to live on a chip.
"Garcia" is an extremely common name. In many countries it's the equivalent of being named "Smith" or "Jones."

The luge isn't something you just dump Yugos on, it's a series of tubes!
Interesting! Thanks, I never thought of it like that.
