Based off of ONE reason. People will think BLU-RAY is something new and weird, but HD-DVD is just a new version of DVDs. Consumers are stupid, which makes HD-DVD the default winner.
Doesn't that give Blu-Ray the advantage? Wouldn't consumers rather buy something new, instead of yet another DVD player?

Eric Schmidt: What !

Steve Ballmer: How are you gentlemen !!
Steve Ballmer: All your IP are belong to us.
Steve Ballmer: You are on the way to destruction.
Eric Schmidt: What you say !!
Steve Ballmer: You have no chance to survive make your time.

Eric Schmidt: Take off every 'Lawyer'!!
Eric Schmidt: You know what you doing.
Eric Schmidt: Move 'Lawyer'.

Um, yikes? WTH makes a program with HALF of the memory used in pointers? I mean, seriously, you don't need to have a separate pointer for every byte allocated. No offense BTW.:P
I guess you have never heard of WMD's or biological weapons? European diseases were quite effective at killing native americans.;) And to the GP, I guess you think Columbus was one of the founding fathers?:P
In theory it is a good way to decrease pollution. But in practice it can cause weird anti-environmental policies, e.g. a reluctance in Finland by the government to support alternative fuels and hybrid cars because it would decrease incomes from fuel tax.
So who pays for roads, traffic police, pollution control, and other traffic-related costs in your country then, if it's not coming from fuel tax? Do you just share the cost between all motorists regardless of how far, how often, and what car they drive?
How about from any of the other taxes? You make it sound like fuel tax is the only tax in the whole wide world. And if you really think that fuel tax is used to improve only roads and things motorists use, you probably also think that capital tax is used to improve the conditions of the rich, that sales tax is used to improve conditions for corporations, and that tax on labour is used to pay for improved conditions for workers. I hope you realize the sillyness of your statement.:P
Does the government just assume that everyone is interested in funding that?
Congratulations, you have now gained insight into the purpose of politics.
I think the problem of huge development budgets will be solved by procedural techniques. Just think about it, did someone draw the textures on your skin or clothes, and preanimated all your different movements? All the textures we see can be calculated by mathematical models, and all our movements can be calculated from our physiology. The first of this new generation of on-the-fly procedurally generating games is Spore; I'm sure EA saved loads of money by not needing any animators and level designers for it.
He's talking about my new pending patent: The Vertical Assembly Line
It uses newtonian principles in a novel and non-obvious way to linearly accelerate the product along the assembly line. This causes tremendous cost-savings in both electricity and time. After my patent gets approved, I'll license it to Wal-mart and make One Mhillijon Dhollars!!11

I guess the astronaut gets killed in the process, seeing as he isn't there to smell it.
There's not any good natural or common law analogy that I can come up with for it
It would be like paying taxes for the police department, fire department and ambulance service, and then not getting help from them when needed.
Lies!
Next you'll probably tell us the A in U.S.A. stands for something else than Astron!

Even if it was, why would you want it?
Judging from the title, we probably traded it from the Klackons.
Ah, the lovely effects of sleep deprivation. Today his post doesn't seem all that incomprehensible. :P

Slashdot's modding system seriously needs a (+?, Incomprehensible)
You should always remember your sarcasm tags, without them it's not correct HumanTML code.
I guess you have never heard of WMD's or biological weapons? European diseases were quite effective at killing native americans. ;) :P
And to the GP, I guess you think Columbus was one of the founding fathers?
So which is which? :P
Now that's insightful. Mod it up! :)
What do you do if you need to use the mic and the center channel at the same time then? :P

They're a bit too short though...

No, exactly the opposite.
Maybe his spoon was too big.
