What does it say about our society that I initially parsed "stem cell trial" in the headline as "a court case alleging illegal use of stem cells in research"?
That some people have a different set of morals and ethics than that of you and I?
I agree, but those simple addictive games will be the ones that hook the users, and they won't cost much. Games that you see yourself playing when you close your eyes, hours after you've put them down. Like Lumines.
Good point. It might be a good time to invest in popcap games.
How is this any different than the XBOX 360? Games like Grand Theft Auto and Madden will still cost an arm and a leg, while lower budget games will be downloadable through the system. Again, how is this any different?
And a dual licence like PostgreSQL could have worked for them, if they were looking to make a business out of this.
How dense are you GPL people? This comes up at every BSD story, you are trolling by bringing up the GPL in a BSD thread.
OpenBSD isn't trying to make money, they're asking that the companies which save millions by not licensing SSH.com's codebase via use of OpenSSH help pay for the continued improvement of the suite they use, they're not asking for advice from random dipshits that don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.
I'm a GPL person? Please, if your going to get all pissy at least have the decency to not post anonymously.
No there wasn't, BSD as in Berkeley Software Distribution, as in University of California Berkeley, as in "Copyright 1979, 1980, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 The Regents of the University of California. All rights reserved.", as in paid for by California taxpayers including corporations and individuals who should not be denied access to what they paid for.
BTW, you shouldn't confuse BSD with a very talented but potentially mismanaged team that has a tendency to piss off lucrative sources of income.
True enough, but they could have separated the old code and the new code, and licensed the post 1991 stuff under the GPL.
Can anyone tell me why BSD with it's enhanced security isn't incorporated into most Linux distros?
Because BSD is an Operating System, and GNU/Linux is an operating system... try reading that article again.
And you should probably try to understand what the original poster actually meant. How about, "why doesn't linux implement parts of BSD into it". Understand now?
How much better? What is there left to make totally realistic?
People have been saying that for years. There is still a lot of room to grow. For example, most every game should eventually have the changable terrain that we saw in Red Faction. Also, the in-game characters still have a lot of room to grow in terms of realistic movement.
I haven't heard much about Ruby since the (geek) media blitz of over a year ago. How many people actually use Ruby on Rails? I see the same thing happening with AJAX.
Maybe it's time that the mainstream Final Fantasy games take a cue from FF Tactics, and add a little more strategy to the game. I wouldn't mind seeing a Zelda style, action oriented Final Fantasy game either.
Let me get this straight. Is a PC required to play Nintendo on the xbox 360 without sound? That doesn't sound very useful to me. If you really want free (as in illegal) NES games on your tv, you should consider getting a used dreamcast with 1 or 2 rom cds. You can even use game genie codes and saved states.

I hope Apple wins.
Theaters Unhappy About Faster DVD Releases
Did I click on The Onion by accident? No shit they are unhappy about it. What did you expect?
WHY!?
Because Take-Two, Rockstar, Sony, Wal-Mart and GameStop have a lot more money than Quentin Tarantino.
We can't control our own borders but we will use tech like this to monitor our own citizens...
Anyone else find that just a little weird?
The people in charge can control the borders. They just choose not to.
Will posting this hurt my excellent Okarma?
Probably not. I get modded -1 Oflamebait and Otroll all the time and I still have excellent Okarma for some reason.

Yes, XBOX 360 also has online distribution and cheaper prices for some games. So? What's your point?
My point is how is this different? I believe I stated that three times in my original post.
I don't think anyone expected Dr. Mario to sell for sixty bucks in the first place.

I am sure all the rats are realy happy we humans do all this reasearch to cure them of all these diseases and injuries.
They would probably be happier if we didn't intentionally paralyze them first!
I wonder where medical science would be if society allowed more testing on homeless people? (not that I condone that, of course)

In related news, stem cell transplants can repair injured spinal cords in rats!

I'm pretty sure he's heard of it. While they do appreciate source code contributions, what they're really asking now for is money.
And a dual license, like the one that MySQL uses may have worked great for them.
...that some feel are taking advantage of the free software without giving anything back.
Damn. I wonder if there was anything they could have done about that?
I only have one eye, you insensitive clod!

Is the game any fun?
Maybe it's time that the mainstream Final Fantasy games take a cue from FF Tactics, and add a little more strategy to the game. I wouldn't mind seeing a Zelda style, action oriented Final Fantasy game either.
Holy questions batman!

How can I directly reply the article?
At the top of the comments there should be a reply button to right of the treshold dropdown menus.
