I wonder if all that extra ad revenue will make up for the fact that a bunch of their core demographic are using university network connections that block access to Battle.net.
Somehow I think not...
So they lost a part of their core demographic. Less sales... must be piracy! We must implement more DRM and alienate more of of our customers until eventually nobody will want them. And people won't pirate a game they don't want. Piracy is finally defeated!
The Atom processors running most netbooks are only 32-bit. This is one of the biggest markets for XP going forward into 2011.
Of course ideally in a netbook you'd have some version of Linux running on ARM... but until the app support is there, I doubt that would be of much use to anyone unless all you wanted to do was browse the internet (without Flash). Actually wil
I've recently seen an upswing in the abuse of the inthishouseweobeythelawsofthermodynamics tag.
There's nothing about changing heat into electricity that violates the laws of thermodynamics.
It may not be super-efficient, but it's "free" energy in the sense that it body heat will be created anyway, you may as well try to redirect a portion of that energy into something useful.
Not only that, but pretty much every school is "that school with all the drunks".
I went to a high school that only had around 200 students. It was a public school, but nobody was sent there by default, it was a school you could opt-in to if you wanted a small environment and extra college prep. It wasn't an urban area, either, this was strictly middle class suburbia. You would think there would be less drugs there, right? Wrong. Pretty much everyone I knew there drank and did drugs. I could buy Xanax, marijuana, or ecstasy <i>in school</i> pretty much any time I wanted to. There was a crew who would regularly commandeer the art room (which had no windows), lock the door, and snort cocaine in there. I got drunk on vodka on the bus to school once. I came in stoned at least once a week. I'd pop pills in the hall when nobody was looking.
Point is, schools are havens for drugs. Private schools, public schools, prep schools, it doesn't matter what kind of reputation they have. There will be drugs there.
More like 4" cocks. At 10 lumens, that's about as big as you could make it while keeping it visible.
Seriously, don't real projectors usually rate in the hundreds of lumens?
"Going digital" with HDMI isn't necessary for a high-quality video setup. Quality TVs today still come with analog inputs. A DVD player connected to a good TV with component cables or even S-video would be worlds better than a rickety old VHS.
No HDMI necessary. No blu-ray/HD-DVD. No DRM in the signal chain.
MacBooks have had built-in cameras aimed at your face for a while. Not to mention people have been hooking up webcams to their desktops for at least a decade.
The "recognition" part is just software.
There are much more effective ways of teaching than just throwing them laptops. You can't jump straight from a pre-Renaissance style of living into the computer age. What we should rather be doing is setting up decent schools that teach them skills they can actually use to benefit their country and lives TODAY. They don't need computer skills or the internet. They need the skills to set up their own power and water infrastructure, and the knowledge to set up an effective society and system of government. Computers will follow once these are in place.
You may be able to humiliate cheaters later, but by that time they may have already completed their career - humiliate them all you want, they still played the games and they still have their millions.
It's all relative. Personally, I'd still be using 2000, but many applications (and Microsoft themselves) have dropped support. Microsoft has also neglected to add good support for new technologies that have risen in the last seven years, like 802.11 wireless networks.

It's freedom when compared with having the college install some monitoring app (dare I say spyware?) on your computer.
Someone with that kind of attitude could never fight their way high enough into politics to become president. :)
maximum squash.
And the ones that aren't used for porn are probably used to send out Nigerian scam e-mails.
Isn't that pretty much how hybrids work?

Girth is more important than length, yo. Unless you're so deficient on length that it becomes a chode.

Ah. I was thinking along the lines of IANAL.
Why don't you try reading a high teck dicktionarie?

Fun fact: the powerful hallucinogen DMT is naturally produced in the human brain.

Gnome has it's own version of knot, it's just called gnot.
I scored some (high quality) meth and hydrocodone tonight. Certainly that attests to the resourcefulness of American drug dealers?

Then there's also their PlaysForSure specification for digital audio players, which their own Zune does not conform to.
It's actually "Hara-Kiri".
