The same soccer moms that eat every word Jack Thompson's ass spews out are the same ones saying "He'll just play it at a friend's house anyways." Seriously, I once saw a 9 year old girl trying to get her mother to buy her GTA when I was buying a game, and I was disgusted. The ratings are there for a reason. If the parents ignore the ratings, they should have no right to complain about their child. However, if the child finds another way to obtain the game, the seller should be the one under fire, not the producer. And this is coming from someone who hates most M rated games. I don't like them, but I'll be damned if someone else who is mature enough to play them is forbidden because some 5 year old shot someone after their mother bought GTA for them.
Because they want to talk to people that it won't have a backlash effect from. Sometimes people want others to know, and they would suffer consequences if they told their parents or friends. And if they only wrote in a normal journal, no one else would know, and they might feel like no one else is like them. And on another note, shouldn't Google's pagerank place blogs that are unlinked to a lot lower in the results?
Another thing is most third party GCN-GBA cords cover up the L and R buttons on the GBASP, so normally only Nintendo official brand one work.
And trust me, it is irritating to play Four Swords Adventures with both L and R permanently pressed down.
This is sure to put quite a dent in Google's profits if it goes through. I doubt it'll be a killing blow, but it won't be good for Google either way.
And on another note, I never thought I'd see Google, AOL, and Microsoft in the same sentence. What the hell is this, the apocolypse?
Another thing to remember is that the NDS's wireless capability cannot be used for wireless adaptor compatible GBA games, such as Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green, Mario Golf, just to name a few. Another thing is that the NDS cannot be connected to a Gaemcube as a controller, seeing as there is a lack of GBA link port.
Well, they could wait and make localized builds for everyone, and leave all users vulnerable for a longer time, or release the English build first and leave a few extra users behind for a while.
I'd say the best idea would be to release the English build first so at least a few users are protected while they make the other builds.
It's not really all that simple. Not all apps exist for all systems. There are quite a few apps out there designed for Windows that may be considered better than Open Source competitors, or may do something that no other open source app does. In this case, emulating or using Windows would be the only option for someone that REALLY wanted to use such an app.
...Is that the average person uses Internet Explorer. The reason why there aren't as many holes in IE discovered could also be that some of the average users send in many more bug reports to Microsoft. When a userbase such as IE's is so huge, there is a great possibility that when an exploit is discovered, a large amount of users will come across the flaw, and at least one person will send in a report. But with Mozilla's Firefox, there is lower userbase, which also means there's a change only a few people will come across a flaw, but not report it.
And on another note, I noticed any site can install themes to Firefox. Personally, I think it's a disaster waiting to happen there.
Hmm, could this hurt sales to big businesses? I mean, it is targeted towards small and medium sized businesses. Most likely big businesses will be annoyed it's no longer targeted to them.
Well, if they can sue them for millions, that's a lot more money they could get than the few extra hundred sales they could get from Google's service redirecting people to buy their books.
Seems to me that it's the principle of the thing, and they don't want anyone to start a precedent. If Google is allowed to copy the full text, will other companies be legally allowed to? This is the kind of thing most authors fear.
Hmm, so if it appears to be pirated, people can report it themselves.
Sounds a bit like distributed anti-piracy, except done manually by people using a service.

If Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7 was just released... Then what was Mozilla Firefox 1.5 Beta 1?

Yeah, they're called US World of Warcraft players.
Clippy? What have they done to you, Clippy? Clippy? Clippy? CLIPPY! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Couldn't Microsoft sue Google for hosting inside info and allowing their employees to post such info?
...That the site the blog is on is run by Microsoft's current enemy Google.
