"Also some regions are laggyier than others, Primary due to uneeded topheavy scripts running or extreamly high primative counts."
Nope. more often than not it's multiple sims running on an underpowered server. Most people buy the cheap-o option which is like a quad-core opteron with 24 other sims running on it.
Inconvenient? I got my Wii from the Best buy outlet on eBay. Not one hassle minus the fact it was one of the Wii models with the problem with Super Smash Bros Brawl, but it came with warranty and Nintendo replaced the faulty unit no questions asked.
And they would list on ebay instead of their own site because on ebay they stand a chance of making a higher profit off of an item, you know, idiots will pay the price for something they want badly enough.
In what way is it ridiculous? The fact that it's FREE? The fact that you can find some entertaining posts on there? The fact that you've got a better chance of selling your possessions online than thru a newspaper, which not many read nowdays?
Maybe it's ridiculous because you work for Google and you're just shilling. One thing is certain, you're talking out of your ass.
And when one doesn't have the money required for a business license so he can go into business for himself - just where is he supposed to get that money, hrm?
Employment of the people is necessary for the survival of the nation. You're thinking WAY TOO SMALL on a GLOBAL-SCALE issue.
"This is not a racist statement, different cultures and different education systems, produce different strengths and weaknesses, go figure."
Correct, it's not a racist statement - it's an ethnicist statement. the only way it would be racist is referring to the human race as a whole, not an ethnic subgroup.
"You have a very curious version of exploitation."
Let me expand upon his version - they're exploiting the cheaper labor and taking jobs away from those of us in this country THAT NEED THOSE JOBS and they're giving it to OTHER PEOPLE ACROSS THE PLANET INSTEAD OF THEIR OWN COUNTRYMEN.
That should nicely trash the rest of your post, logic be damned. Corporations need to be DESTROYED, as all they're doing is helping themselves and hurting the country. What's the term for an entity that causes harm to its own country, WILLINGLY?
TREASON. Punishable by death - which I expect NOTHING LESS.
"I wish someone would find a (fair) way of helping me to make a living from sleeping all day, but that's not a reasonable expectation - and neither is yours."
Guess you haven't been to many art expos, have you? Everything from living people in a glass cage asleep to people engaged in sex are featured in art museums, and they get paid for it.
AC has it right. Also, the NFL has no rights over what happens to anything transmitted over the airwaves once it reaches my property, it is mine to do with as I please, including recording it, encrypting/decrypting it. I may not rebroadcast (but that's purely due to FCC rules and regulations) but the FCC ruled specifically about OTA broadcasting and things like the use of police scanners for citizens - once that signal hits your property, it's yours to do with as you please.
Of course, the media corporation's response is to try to force everyone to Digital *COUGHMODIFIEDANALOG* broadcasting and encrypting the media OTA so it would be a violation of the DMCA to record it successfully.
Only for the purposes of taxation. With the 16th amendment Lincoln paved the way for a corporation as a whole to be known as a single person instead of as individuals, which sadly creates a whole legal mess of who's to blame?
"The plants get the orange light and the coating takes the rest."
Most of the photosynthetic response curve is in the blue and red areas, orange is actually pretty low in the curve and thus many plants do not use that wavelength.
Oh, except when the RIAA bitches at you for giving us the capability to do so.
Someone sue Comcast for False or Misleading Advertising. They don't mention that the way they choose to download those movies or music might be illegal.
That doesn't work totally. It seems some RST packets work directly with the modem (at least with mine) and regardless of using iptables the modem itself will stop and reset.
Recently I gave up on my PS3. Even Assassin's Creed on my LAPTOP at 1440x900 (and laptops are known for not having good graphics) runs smoother than the PS3 playing the same game in standard definition. It's sad when a gaming console gets beat out by an all-purpose machine. A PORTABLE ONE, at that.
That's Because MythTV sucks. Just straight mplayer with Ubuntu 6.10LTS on my old 1.8GHz P4 did 1080i HD DivX without much of an issue. Bear in mind this was the first-gen P4 with a measly 256KB of L2 cache, as well, running on a paltry 64 meg GeForce2 MX400 (the crap of the line card for the day) and a half gig of PC2700.
For playback of a 1080 DivX file, I only needed 512 megs of RAM, windows XP, and a 2.0 GHz single core Athlon64. That was well more than three years ago. Actually my old 1.8GHz P4 handles it, with just a tiny bit of stuttering when seeking in VLC.
You think most people that watch Fox News will even have a clue about his disbarment? The spin gets played in the main hours, the stuff that might even remotely matter is played like near-noon when people are at work or just heading to lunch.
I must agree. I really wish things would get done in Assembly. Sure it takes a long time to code, but it compiles down into a very small package that runs amazingly fast. (See MinuetOS for an example.)

"That really just leaves games."
Not even that - UT3 will not install on Server 2K8, nor will Steam.

It does NOT look the same on my PSP, from which I can post on Slashdot.

Ethnicist is not a new word. In fact it already has one obsolete definition in the dictionary, that definition was "heathenism, paganism, idolatry."
Pay attention to the language you claim to speak.
Did you read your own quote, Quixote?
You said: "Shouldn't have at least a science degree,"
The very quote you posted says in the middle:
"Mitchell holds a Masters of Public Administration degree and a Bachelor of Science"
And when one doesn't have the money required for a business license so he can go into business for himself - just where is he supposed to get that money, hrm?

That's because the SE Asia market has been cornered by a FREE GAME, Maiet's "Gunz: The Duel"

Google even dumped money into them - you should KNOW Google doesn't just frivolously throw money around.
The fiance has the PS3, now. He likes GTA and Turok.
Actually, I like Comcast's advertising.

As in NYCL is the anti-asshole-against-everyone lawyer. Talk about mindless.
And your mom was Taco's bitch last night, yessir. We're torrenting the porn of it right now.
