This is a delaying tactic until Congress is out of session.
I have to sort of agree here. If it is not this than it is a publicity stunt to not seem as harsh or to force some other compromise that favors Sound Exchange.
Dude... I'm just trying to get my karma back up to positive. You mean I'm suppose to RTFA? I usually just do good to RFTS!!! This is/. or did you forget.
It is good to hear that they have it working under XP, not that I would buy either game. I have Halo 2 for xbox and don't want to play Shadowrun after seeing my brother play it. I think Mitch needs to grow up and accept the fact the game he help develop isn't all that. It is just CS with magic, ooohhh, that is sooo original.
It is actually very feasible. First thing is many people have their own gardens that they up in New York. Some friends of mine have a vegetable garden that they grow. I hate to say it, but you don't know what you are talking about. The air quality in New York is no worse than any other big city. Besides, if you are really concerned with the air quality, you can always scrub the air as it comes into the greenhouse. If people had the attitude that they doubt this sort of thing could work, where would innovation and progress be. Learn your facts before spreading gloom,Eeyore.
It seems like somebody has some anger management issues. You can enjoy Halo 3 Beta if you have Crackdown. I will be enjoying Halo 3 when I get home from work. Yes I did pre-order the game because the last two were fun and most of my friends will have it as well. Actually by the time the beta is over you will only have to wait 3 months for it to come out.
I am glad that this judge saw through this guy's bullshit. Some people just have no clue. This guy was wasting my tax dollars. I think we all should get to mete out some justice to him.
That is not quite true. XP came out in 2001, Goodyear Corp Headquarters did not start changing over to XP until 2003-2004. The engineering firm I now work for which has offices worldwide, did not start switching over to XP until 2005. I guarantee BestBuy, Circuit City, and Comp USA had sold more XP systems from 2001 to 2003 many times over than all the Fortune 100 companies put together. When I worked part-time at BestBuy, we sold on average 7 PC's a day and we were just one store of about 500 retail stores in BestBuy. You add all the Circuit City and Comp USA stores as well and you have a lot of PCs going out every week.
I am going to have to agree here. Although, I like Microsoft more because they keep me employed. The real test will be next year about this time. Gamers don't drive adoption of OS's. Normal people buying PC's out of the box from retailers do. When you are not able to buy XP on an out of the box system is when you will start to see wider acceptance as the threshold of users increase. It is still way to early to tell anything.
You have a good point here and the answer is they should. They probably won't get as much attention as an HIV cure. It unfortunately will come down to money and a decent portion is being thrown towards HIV. HIV also has the media's attention at the moment, so it might be awhile before we see anything.
or so the saying goes. This sounds very promising, but it will be at least 7 years until the treatment would be seen by the masses unless they let it take the fast track through the FDA. Even then it would still 4-5 years. It seems like they still have at least 1-2 years of research to verify it is specifically this amino acid chain and not a combination of something else. The other issue you run into is what long term effect this will have on the human body. While they 'think' it does not have any nasty side effects they won't really know until they start doing human testing in clinical studies. As I said, it looks promising but is probably still 7 years off.
It would definitely be bad press, especially going after a teacher and there only being 12 computers. That is hardly worth their time. If only the RIAA could learn something from this, they wouldn't look like such jackasses; but of course they are because they are more evil than Microsoft. It is not flamebait or trolling if it is true.
May work over here. Prof. Sips and Dr. Pouwelse expert witness statement seems to be what anybody being sued by the RIAA would want to find. The inability to prove they were involved in actual contribution. I think if you can get an intelligent judge or at least be able to explain what their findings mean; you should be able to get alot of cases thrown out. If not then appeal until you get the right judge. It seems that they have to go on hunting expeditions to try to even build a case otherwise they are close to slander by false accusations. I may understand it wrong, but their analysis shows you can't prove if anyone was involved by using the tools they do.
take a queue from Intergraph. (the fine makers of Microstation, Redline, and In-roads) They have partnered with ODA. I work for an engineering firm and we use alot more software from Intergraph than Autodesk. In fact we only use AutoCadd compared to Microstation 7 & 8, PDS (used for piping), Support Modeler, Iplot, Projectwise, Tri-Forma and a slew of others.
I for one have to object to all this stereotyping going on. I am an American and am not stupid. I own a Wii and the strap is still functioning fine. In fact I bought my Wii on opening day. (and no I didn't wait overnight at some store, I only waited three hours for one) I don't drink McDonald's coffee because I don't go to McDonald's. (I'm some what of a coffee snob and usually grind the beans myself to ensure the freshness.)
As usual it only takes a couple of morons to ruin it for everybody else. This is common in the world today. You have a small group of people claiming to be Muslim and committing acts of terrorism. People start thinking anyone of Arab descent is evil or a sympathizer. There is a gas station owned by a couple of guys from Iran. They are great guys, we play poker every once in awhile. People started boycotting their gas station just because they were from Iran around 9/11. I told a couple people off because I bought my gas from there and they in not so many words, eluded that I wasn't American. I called them bigots and asked them when their ancestors came over to this land.
This problem is not unique to America. France started deporting people of Arab descent because of the riots that happened earlier this year. They are deporting all of them, even those that had nothing to do with the riots, which was a majority of the people. You have genocide happening in the Sudan. Nepal has finally ended it's Civil War. China has suppressed many people groups including Tibetans and Mongolians. It all happens because we focus on our slight differences instead of embracing our humanity and celebrating our uniqueness.
No silly... it couldn't have a Star of David Ion canon, that's Jewish. Seriously though, I don't see how any Christian in their right mind would approve of the game. Put aside all the "Christians aren't in their right mind because they believe in God" crap. Being that this is a country where capital talks, don't spend your money on it and the press should ignore it. The more attention it receives, the more people will become curious about it and possibly pick it up just to see. So... move along, nothing to see here.

Even a fool is considered wise when she is quiet. Why remove all doubt and open your mouth?

Contradict another post on the front page http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/06/27/001 8252/. If Vista is on top than how could Microsoft Security be one of the worst jobs? What are they doing too good of a job???

If only Microsoft, Jack AND the lawyers would just explode, we would all be winners.
As long as it doesn't effect Halo 3, let them explode. If it is going to effect Halo 3... no good man, I need my fix.
It's the kind of random misdirected energy I expect from a crack addict.
Ah ha!!! I knew it! Jack Thompson is a crack addict.
Unfortunately it doesn't matter if it is a pre-built because a sale is a sale and when the day is over that is all that matters.

So, you are saying 'All your media are belong to us'

I think he wants the game to give him a girlfriend...

I just got done beating Crackdown and don't remember seeing any ads. If I had paid for in-game advertising... I'd want my money back.
