Eh I guess that depends on which viewpoint you look from. I've heard plenty of hardcore gamers (heh) claim that Halo, GTA, and Madden are mainly played by casual gamers.
I've never worked at one. (all my jobs have been IT related or social science related).
But I have to agree. My girlfriend works at this grocery chain (I think they're like a Walmart but only on the west coast). It's called Fred Myers (something like that). And she says the checkout machine glitches to often. So even if she's carrying about 5 items she'll skip the checkout line depending on how its doing that day.
That's already happened..at least I think. If you use a credit card or even debit card you don't think the major companies (Visa, American Express, Discover, etc..) don't know what your buying?
The ironic thing is those trolls tend to be Sony or Microsoft fanboys. Which built their userbase on general/casual gamers. Sad that they harp on the whole casual gamer vs hardcore gamer. Nobody cares about the hardcore gamer, the profit they make from hardcore gamers is laughable.
If Sony say (this upcoming PS3 era) lost its casual userbase...sure Sony might survive (Nintendo did) but they'd find themselves in Nintendo's shoes during its N64-GCN era.
I agree its a great place for music and I use it myself to find new music. But Myspace has grown way to fast/much and I don't think its as much about the music as it is trying to get as many friends as possible or whatever those kids do there.
The government pretty much destroyed our trust with all the recent things going on. So they'll have to earn it back before the assumptions turn from "he didn't do anything" back to "maybe he did something wrong".
I'd love to see how that excuse "they're not US citizens or its not US soil" will work the next time the US fights in a real war against another country.
Uh oh, your not on (insert countries') soil. We have the right to torture you, etc..etc..etc...
-_-
Oh and I believe that's why they're trying to get the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay under Geneva. Because the US doesn't want to wind up shooting itself in the foot by violating the Geneva laws and finding that they no longer apply to their own soldiers.
True Linux isn't bulletproof, only fools would claim that. Those features you listed are some of the reasons why an attack wouldn't be as successful. Though there's also a key one you missed.
If your a Linux user (this is an assumption) you wouldn't install a virus in the first place.;)
I know that the 3rd parties would eventually get corrupted. But hopefully the first time the 3rd party is in power there wouldn't be any influences yet.
Though after that we need a new party to replace it. And eventually keep shaking it up so special interest groups could never latch onto one for to long.
I know in Firefox (perhaps Opera too) that its possible to force a webpage/website to look in a certain fashion. Couldn't it be possible to do the same for myspace. Have an extension that forcibly reformats how the data at myspace is displayed to you. IE: No music, no flash, no videos just plain text with user information on the left side?
Or is myspace coding that horribly blotched? They must have some method of similarity..
I had the same idea on Gamefaqs when I was coming up with a way to actually ignore trolls instead of having a list of known fanboys and trolls. I noticied that the way gamefaqs formats the posts and the content is the same so I figured I'd just code something that would use a database of names (kinda like the adblock plus extension) and if it came across that it simply wouldn't render it till the next username (usually surrounded by a unique tag). Thus hopefully making that person's post invisible to my browser.
Though I never did try it..nor did I ask someone to.
But is this even possible? I'd use myspace alot more often if I could force all the pages to stick to a certain layout.
I have to agree.
Not to mention its almost impossible for a 3rd party to win the Presidency seat seeing as how people are still blindly brought up as "my dad was a republican so I'll vote republican" or "so and so so so and so"
I've been voting 3rd party ever since I could vote, and none of those times have they ever won. -_-. My only form of recourse is for a President from one side to screw up so badly, then a president from the other side to screw up even worse.
Then we need a massive campaign of "TRY SOMETHING ELSE YOU IDIOTS"
That reminds me of the comic strip Ubersoft. (a parody of Microsoft). They first call Linux users communist, then later accuse people supporting open source software after 9/11 of being terrorist supporters..
They even spoof real life trends.
heh the Great Wall of China didn't stop whatever dynasty from being attacked either..
According to cultural history some idiot thought they were friendly troops and opened the gate to them. -_-
Yeah I have to agree, I wish there was some way to do it thru the Opera block content UI but I asked on the forums and there's no other way.
But I already tweak Firefox and Opera so its no big deal to me. I think there is a way to get something like the filterset G but an Operaized version though I never bothered.
I think the majority of it are silver owners. I read somewhere on Gamefaqs a post comparing the DS Wi-Fi usage compared to Live users. And they were pretty close. The significant amount of Live users were on silver though.
Nah it's..
1) Children locate pirates
2) Chinese government detains pirates
3) Chinese government forces pirates to work for them
4) Chinese government further excel their technology
5) Chinese government transforms pirates into the super hackers from command and conquer generals
6) Chinese government steals money from everyone
7) WWIII is fought between China, US, and terrorist organizations called the GLA
8) I use Nuke General
9) CAPITAL
It has something to do with their cacheing I think. I know in Opera at least (don't remember how to do it in Firefox) that you can limit the memory cache usage. Mine's set to 20 MB.
I think the author meant default functionality as in right when you install. For users like us, we can pretty much make Opera and Firefox do whatever the hell we want. Hell we can even do it with IE (well more like another browser coded with IE's engine).
Technically most of the features in FireFox 2 that I find useful are already installed as extensions to my install. But I know plenty of users who never even tried one out.
Though the author also got some things incorrect. He said that Firefox has skins/themes but Opera doesn't. But Opera in fact does.
I think Nintendo decided to go with Opera for several reasons.
1) Being they've developed versions of Opera for mobiles, pocket pcs, etc..
2) If you use Opera you should try out mouse gestures (it's built in). I guess Nintendo imagined people surfing the internet with Wiimote gestures or Stylus gestures, or whatever..
*copies and pastes info from Filterset G into urlfilter.ini in my Opera installaton folder.
Tada
I do it vice versa, I use Opera as my main browser and Firefox as my backup so I'm always syncing their ad blocks and bookmarks.
I think it's more just the effect of socialization on males and females. Females are socialized to be caring. Males are socialized to.."fill in the blank here". Naturally on a blog where you confess your feelings or talk about whatever females would be more likely to respond with something nurturing and make you go "aww I have friends". While guys will go "crying? being said? weak.."
Of course this doesn't fit in the emo, metrosexual, etc..etc..
But I haven't looked into any psychological or sociological journals about them yet.

If you tell me how to give mod points I'd give them to you..that post was very useful. :)

heh I plan on building one in 4-5 years. With some water cooling system..or whatever one I found an article on that was like water but better.
heh the Great Wall of China didn't stop whatever dynasty from being attacked either.. According to cultural history some idiot thought they were friendly troops and opened the gate to them. -_-
I now know why the French surrendered so much. They were building robots to take over the world. >.>
