the RIAA here claims the [Russian licensing] organization has no authority to make such a deal.
Shouldn't the RIAA take up this issue with the licensing organization then? Under the RIAA's same logic, the RIAA has no authority over AllOfMp3.
I believe you should try to get a better location than the suburbs (downtown would probably be best). Offering WiFi would be a great addition. Having an area separate from the gaming area maybe just with tables and chairs sort of like a lounge would be cool. You could try to make the lounge area more suited for businessmen (who could be your daytime customers). I'd try to get some sort of food area going. Maybe try to incorporatee a Starbucks? Definitely get comfortable furniture. Plan events like big parties with giveaways or tournaments. Maybe have an area where you can just chill and watch a movie?
Cadillac = Caddle lack, as in lacking horses (pulling a buggy).
Kodak = Asked about the name "Kodak", George Eastman replied, "Philologically, the word Kodak is as meaningless as a child's first 'goo'--terse, abrupt to the point of rudeness, literally bitten off by firm and unyielding consonants at both ends, it snaps like a camera shutter in your face. What more would one ask!"
It's a very good idea in theory, but might not work so well in the real world. There would have to be a way to verify that "outside scientists" really are scientists. Also, how would training (presuming at least some training is needed...) be provided for the outside examiners?
Lemme ask you this: Would you buy a top of the line computer with HD graphics, free internet gaming, wireless controllers, and a next-gen media player for $800?? I know that consoles and computers are definitely not one in the same, but go with me on it.
First of all, why is the RIAA monitoring colleges' LANs? Is that even legal? Secondly, I fileshare on my LAN all the time. The sharing of my clients' orders and bills is necessary to the survival of my business. Don't flame me for asking this because I honestly don't know the answer: does the RIAA have any authority or legal right to be monitoring students and their actions on private college's LANs? Where does the Recording Industry Association of America get off thinking that they have any authority over the sharing on local networks?
The difference in the cultures make in interesting. Akanksha has a computer science degree and holds what is probably a very respectable job in his peer's eyes. Here in the US, the job could be considered elementry. Are the standards for a computer science degree in India equivalent to those of a similar degree here in America?
Who really cares what the reviewers say? Your Average Joe who knows nothing about HD and all its techno-mumbo-jumbo isn't going to care, even if this new tech does display in 1080p. Those people who just want the cutting edge are still going to buy even if the content isn't there (or, rather, QUALITY content). Most people are just going to wait for Blu-Ray and maybe then the market will grow, if only very slowly.
"...it almost certainly did not habitually perch in trees. This leads scientists to believe that it was a land based predator."...As opposed to habitually perching in trees and being an open-water based predator?
"...His work is very important,"
Uhhh... will someone please explain to me how building robotic dinosaur claws and tearing crap apart is important research?

What about the aurora australis? For those that don't know, the aurora australis is the aurora borealis' southern counterpart.

You don't see any government banning the use of automobiles, do you? They kill about 42,000 people anually here in the US.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to make the space suit a different color than the terrain its going to be used on?

WHO CARES?! Why doesn't everyone just choose the browser they like?
Well, I'm glad I'm a Sony fanboy. Blu-Ray ftw!
How hard can it be to fucking count ballots?!?!?

It would also broadcast your network 4.9 miles more than you need...
The world record for a wifi connection is 125 miles. whats 5km really going to achieve? All I can really see is a bunch more hackers gaining access...
"...art promoted by Microsoft..." what the heck?
I'd check out the Red Cross website or something. Or perhaps you could check this out, some good ideas there.
