Why should i beta test for them (and support them) when they can't support me and my linux computer? Those of you who fold into this are suckers to the system.
I feel that human intelligence is going to get to a point where, if we want to become anymore intelligent and learn faster, we will need a better language. Something that linguists agree is fast, easy, and not redundant (this a huge problem for most languages, especially English). It also must be able to typed very well, of course.
Of course it's not going to happen, languages don't just come up out of nowhere and stick. But it will get to the point where English is just too damn slow.
Japan is pathetic. I'd like to face the judge that made this decision in the ring.
They also have bigger fish to fry than this.
Ooh, maybe now they'll do something about all the spam that comes from there! How many emails do i see that come from.ad.jp and never stop until procmail gets involved?
Here's my personal problem: If one calls and asks for Michael Roberto, I have to answer and say yes, because there's a good possibility that its Ohio State (the school I am going to this fall), or one of the other schools that I rejected. Then I *have* to hear the telemarkter, at which i take the necessary process if it's not OSU.
In other news, MS has also confessed to the MicroBerto Reporting Service that Windows NT revolves the wrong way as well.
"The operating system is known to only install properly off of CD-ROMs that rotate counter-clockwise. All other installs end up with an insecure system that crashes if turned on."
As I was reading the review, I was thinking of how society has been increasing all of the bad things (stress, sickness, depression, crime), yet delaying some of the better things in life.
Trying to make adolescents abstain/wait from sex.
Eat slower and eat less
Prolong sickness/death even when 'its over'
more work = less sleep (i love sleep)
Wait longer in line
And of course, these pressures of society often cause rebellion, such as more obesity, teenage sex/pregnancy, smoking, and others. This inversion is causing more problems than began with.
My personal belief is that as more and more parents are not taking care of their child as they should be (working mothers, one-parent families, day-care, etc.), children are being weened earlier, and grow complexes and fixations.
The World War II era is the time where many women went to work, and stayed there after the war's end. They also bred many baby[-boomers]. This is now the generation that is causing such psychotic behavior, because of fixations that many did not get over. There's a huge anal-retentive generation there, and it's still being passed on down. Now everyone is going crazy...
Most of the time, countries support exports, and often like to put restrictions on imports to protect the stuff they have at home.
In this case, Japan is being rather oppressive and is restricting exports, hurting a company within their domain! There is no justification for this at an economic level. Whenever foreign money wants to buy your stuff, it's favorable to your country and corporations.
I believe you've all dissected the "weapons" BS as well. Truly pathetic from Japan on all levels. A country that actively and purposely hurts its citizens. I normally don't see that.
Valid point. The first few IPO's were very cool, but then talking about each one got stupid.
Speaking of the Devil, many tech stocks, including iSky have cancelled their IPO's because of the downswing in the market. (The link above points to the iSky article that slashdot just did today/last night. Their site is here.)

Tech Stocks Tumble

· Score: 1
Good points. However, I am certain that this downswing is bogus idiot trife because there are companies out there whoopin major ass and their stocks are still tumbling. Look at AMD. Their stock was going up as it deserved (they made more money than ANYONE expected, including themselves).. but now they're heading on down as well. You know that this company is rocking, its just the idiot control of the market. It will either recycle itself, or correct itself.
What i'm saying is that although even strong stocks are going down, they won't stay that way. I'm not scared.
As far as the stocks are concerned though, I'm not worried. Easy come, easy go for me. However, seeing that the market is now controlled by idiots, they'll see low prices and say "OOH! ME BUY ME BUY!", the market goes back up.
Prices go up, idiots get scared and sell.
Repeat cycle.
If you wanna win, you just gotta time the idiot cycle right. I messed up, but I know that its going to come back up when the idiots see the low prices and invest in everything and their mother.
On a serious note, I don't think Johnny C. can keep away from the FPS games. He's just as addicted to them as we are! I betcha the next game will be strikingly similar to Quake, but maybe just in a totally different setting.:)

Your third point is what Diablo II seems to be all about. I read the review at firingsquard and although the graphics aren't going to be that much better than the older one, the game is going to sell like crazy anyway because its a GREAT game.
I personally won't buy it if there's no linux version, but it will be a great game that demonstrates that you don't need cutting-edge graphics to sell a game. It's just gotta be addictively fun and reach out to the beast inside of all of us.
This is another company that was going to IPO and then decided not to because of recent market downswings. I also think that maybe they didn't IPO for some other shaky reasons in their economic strategies.
When the MicroBerto reporting service asked why they made such a poorly-engineered list, the At Large Membership Program simply claimed "Because ICANN!"
I can't say that i disagree with you... it is quite pathetic, on our terms. At the same time, the people that moderated you down were probably the ones doing these transactions:)
However... if people are willing to pay money for it, and it makes them happy, then good for them. I think that the arguments for Sony here are better than those against, but yes, its all a waste of time.
I guarantee that you DO know someone with HIV/AIDS. It's just dormant and won't show for 5 or more years. That's a huge problem with it... granted. People still going out and having sex, not knowing what they're spreading.
