I think the market has the room to support three or more companies . Nintendo are doing incredibly well and the only one actually making a profit on hardware . Sony have a rather solid market for home consoles , unless the PS3 is a complete mess . Microsoft are apparently doing well , they should be fine.. bar of course a well deserved anti-trust lawsuit
Every year we will have 5 PC gaming is dying story , 5 PC gaming is on a comeback stories , 5 Console gaming is dying stories and 5 Console gaming is on a comeback stories . Eventually we will realise that both will suffer ups and downs
Another good example is Humanities closest relative , the good old chimp. An animal which many Zoologists want to have reclassified from genus pan to hominid . They have an incredibly complex societal structure which shares a great deal of similarity with us . They as of yet have not discovered the joys of Shame (oh goody) , the chimps have mutual masturbation in the same way as we shake hands . They have sex for a great deal of reasons , of which procreation is but one.
To say humans only have sex for procreation's is ludicrous . Fat lot of good a blow job is for having a baby.. and that is just one example and a fairly tame one.It strengthens relationships and gives a great deal of pleasure . It can reduce stress and is a great form of exercise..
I don't really use Windows so I may be wrong here . I think it has something to do with the prefetch folder in C:/windows . The OS takes some form of snapshot of the commonly used apps and loads it and some of their DLLs at start-up
There has been a lot of devolution going on in UK politics the past few years. Some of it great , like the devolution of parliamentary powers . Others not so great , such as the New labour AKA: Old conservatives.
This type of censorship is totally unacceptable , we have a ratings system which is complied to by retailers , giving it an 18 rating is more than sufficient . Devolution of public freedom,many steps were made during the 70's and 80s to loosen up the censorship in the UK . Are we now taking another step backwards, if this comes to pass then I would say yes.
I would be interested to see the test done on linux using Codeweavers crossover office . (Well I don't know if the windows version of OpenOffice works on linux using Wine or such like ). See if MS is up to some old tricks
Reminds me of a prank we pulled many many years ago to have tetrahydrocannabinol legalised managed to get a few signatures from teachers and the likes , most amusingly the most verdantly anti-drug teacher in the school . We kept it in reserve in case we ever needed to blackmail one of them
"Halo 2 is an interesting experience with my gamertag. Every 10 games or so I get the 15-year old redneck from Nuclear Shelter Bunker Town, Bumfuck, who thinks he's going to insult me by calling me a commie bastard bitch homo f***. They also like to kill me a lot, like in "I'm going to come and kill you, commie bastard" not like in "I'ma pwn you n00b"."
Which is even more amusing considering Gorbachev's political carrier .

Its odd what gets classified as Sci-Fi these days. My theory is that they confused Xena and Xenu .
Easy , they can throw an Array of 20 500GB disks off the Tokyo Radio tower
As they say , It takes the right tool for the job , and this job requires a right Tool .
I find astro-turfing particularly insidious

There are worse Portmanteau out there(not by much though ) like Automagically or Gadgmo .

That is all well and good , till someone jumps on your head , flattens your family and steals all your gold coins .

Ballmer:THEY ARE GOING DOWN
Gates : yeah , See you on RAW

Either it will be ported to the console , or they will shoot off its kneecaps.. Unlike every other port which just has its guts ripped out

IT was a misquote , it was meant to read "lower-level Ballmer person"
What about IBM , I think they were a far bigger influence on MS or Bell even ;)
Main difference is that Nintendo did it 15 years ago and now don't do it .
Microsoft still are doing it .
How did that happen ?
Did you try to complete ET and loose 20 years through a nervous breakdown
I am getting fed up with all the hyperbole around here ,they are worse than Hitler
