How is this table different from the one demoed over a year ago featuring warcraft 3? That one was also multi-point of contact, and accepted vocal commands.

Didn't they "accidentally" discover two different cures for cancer a couple months ago? Why fight it when you can cure it? They should concentrate on bringing those cures to the marketplace.
If he sold them, it would be like selling your online stuff, which in my GP post I said i could see happening, however in TFA, they mention the possibility of taxing your online assets even if you don't sell them for RL money. In my analogy, this would mean he gets taxed just for having the cards, which is why I find the whole notion silly.
My point is more that there is absolutely no documentation to prove how much "money" I had or had not made. IRS doesn't know I have an account, and the game company doesn't know who I am. It is like me running down a random street and throwing a pack of collectors baseball cards at the first pedestrian I see, and then saying the government is going to tax that guy for that income.
Suppose i pay for my mmorpgs with game cards and use proxies to connect tot he game servers. how then can anyone be expected to track how much gold i have accumulated on my virtual d00d?
I can see taxing the sale of virtual goods for real money (not that i agree with it), but it seems silly to expect purely in-game assets to be taxed.
Close. It is about making a frivolous law to ban something that most reputable retailers already have policies about.
Actually, even closer to the truth, this is about getting votes.
A few days ago i requested an information packet from a local technical college via an online request form. i used my cell phone for the phone number. Today i received a call from a student loan consolidation company on my cell phone. I missed the call, but called it right back and the guy who answered the phone said he was from this loan consolidation company. I asked why they called me and he asked if i was interested in a student loan. I said I don't have any (I don't) and please take me off your list. He asked what my name was, but I made him look me up by phone number, and when he did he asked me if i was $MY_NAME and attended $THAT_SCHOOL. I denied knowing that person and had him put me down for wrong number.
I called the phone number on the schools site, and told them about this, and the girl who answered the phone was just someone who answers the phone and transfers people, and said she had no idea that the personal data gets handed along. Then she asked my name and said she was going to transfer my name to a customer complaint deprtment or some such but i said "No thanks, just pass along the message."
Needless to say i will not be attending that school.
According to wikipedia, the total population of Asia is 3,902,404,193. North America has 518,575,412. I would venture to say their music industries are probably more diverse and robust than ours. Just because you have heard J-pop and/or K-pop, does not mean that is the only type of music coming from that region.
Ogg vorbis is my favourite. my mp3 player (cowon iaudio) supports them. i generally liek 160-192 kbps in mp3s. i think i usually encode my ogg vorbis files at.7 quality i think.
agreed. we got rid of the half penny once it became worthless, now lets get rid of the penny too! the only thing i ever use pennies for is to throw at people.
Good. take the damn word. I never liked it anyway. It's just a stupid buzz word meaning "RSS feed that links you to an mp3" and was touted as this brand new revolutionary thing. I for one welcome podcast's new apple overlords.
I deal with it by buying a cowon iaudio mp3 player. it's better in all ways to the ipod. including OGG support:-).
im hoping for this whole little empire based on the ipod and its accesories collapses. with such a dominant marketshare and mindshare, they haven't really innovated in a long time. they just steal a few good ideas from other companies from time to time.
well the way i see it, the mp3 is about 1/10 or 1/15 the size of the uncompressed audio file. Im pretty sure distributing about 10% of a song is fair use:-)
i never had the chance to play PSO,
but soul caliber and jet grind radio are amazing.
im in the process of trying to find a copy of Mr. driller, after playing it and the chicago museum of science and industry's Game On exhibit.

"But it'll be all pipes. Or tubes." Tubes full of internets i hope! More internets for us!

So.....like a political party?

of course he says that. Because the only ones he sees are the ones stupid enough to get caught. that aside, he is probably correct.

But remember when Dell did a big survey of linux users interested in Dell selling PCs with linux preinstalled?
And some of those countries have governments that are backed by US government.

WoW runs with very little extra configuration under wine. so even that isn't a valid excuse :-)

I did this at my college. You meet lots of chicks that way. They will never sleep with you, but you meet lots of chicks.

you can't get certain updates from the windows update site if you dont install it.
so you would say, "working as intended?"
