At first glance I thought this was a terrible decision. Clearly, the government just rushed a response to whether it would be illegal to use cell phones as navigational devices. But actually, it might make sense. The article says you can still use your phone to make phone calls, just nothing else. It gave an example of someone rear-ending another car while using a cell phone in a cradle as a navigational device. A cell phone usually would have a much smaller screen than a regular GPS device, since it is designed as a cell phone and not as a GPS system. This might lead to longer times spent glancing at the screen and higher chances of accidents happening.
Hey you replied to me! I was in a bit of a bad mood so I probably came off quite biting. I still don't think I'm giving them too much credit; I think it's hilarious what they're doing.
I will have to say I did like Hellboy and never watched the Hulk.
Back on topic: while some things, like their whole "Need for Speed" franchise, may fit "default trash" for you, they have good games as well. I hope you liked at least one of either the Sims, Madden, or Command and Conquer. But hey, there ARE really quality mainstream movies (in my opinion), and everybody has access to independent films (some of which end up going almost mainstream). I don't think it's so bad...
What the hell, you missed the whole point. The article isn't about EA being sleazy by bribing people, it's about the EA marketing team being a bunch of geniuses and getting all sorts of attention drawn to this game by pretending to be sleazy.
Anyway, I like their games just fine.
Completely agree with this person. On top of that, China in my opinion has a terrible reputation for allowing these things to happen and turning a blind eye. Sentencing these people to a few years jail time signals to others that they can't be quite so blatant about their piracy anymore, as China is changing their stance on it.
Why would that put us in any kind of trouble? Is it particularly important to know that some countries on the equator are cold? How is that relevant to anything?
This list looks to me like an entertainment piece, reminding people of rapid culture changes in the US or the world. It doesn't exist to show us that we have a failing education system.
This statement is unfair. Having an athlete run faster or train harder to push past what other humans have accomplished in their life is not a bad thing. Sure, if you play in your backyard, it's just for fun and you shouldn't take it too seriously. But telling someone like Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps to stop taking things so seriously and "get a life" doesn't really seem to make sense.
Well, perhaps they did not know exactly how Netflix would rate their efficiency until after a submission..01% is a pretty close difference, and they might not have known whether they would overtake first or not without submitting and having their algorithm run by Netflix.
I'm confused; when did Microsoft claim the suite was going to be free to corporate users? From the PC Pro article,
Microsoft says the online applications will be free to consumers and small businesses, via Windows Live. Larger businesses can choose to host their own versions of the web applications via their SharePoint server or buy them as a hosted service from Microsoft.
I found this article from the previous Slashdot summary about Office 2010.
I am on slashdot about as much as the next person, and I'm always reading the comments. I have to say, I haven't noticed any sort of positive bias towards Microsoft recently. In fact, after reading slashdot for a few years seeing any comments that are anti-microsoft just gets to be sickening and old. Just like any comment that has the word "ftp" in it when discussing browser neutrality automatically gets modded +5 insightful, any comment saying anything bad about microsoft or its products gets modded +5 insightful, even when it has nothing to do with the topic. I have not seen any sort of "dearth of people extolling products competing with Microsoft." I still see the same old posts whining about Microsoft at every opportunity and automatically getting modded up to infinity.
This idea doesn't seem reasonable. There are definitely many, many disadvantages to being in a vulnerable infant stage for 20 years of your life. Old age isn't good, but not being able to quickly reach a stage where you can fend for yourself is a major problem.
Where in the article is there "a lot more to it"? I'm glad three people modded you up without reading the article themselves. The article doesn't even make sense. Asus said the Android isn't ready yet (the same thing Nvidia said), then apologized that a different booth had put up one of their PC's with Android. If you're not ready to roll out Android on your PC, of course you don't want rumors stemming from a PC someone threw together.
Even if the game ran perfectly smoothly and impressively on the iPhone, you're looking at probably no more than 2-3 hours of playtime for a game (especially if it's 3d). Considering that you're also supposed to be using this device for music, phone calls, and possibly videos, I'd feel squeamish using it to play games for anything other than on a 10 minute bus ride. Compare that to a DS, which will give you more than 15 hours pretty easily.
IMHO, although I LYLAS, you should visit the NIIOMTPLABOPARMBETZHELBETRABSBOMONIMONKONOTDTEKHSTROMONT, LOLZ. Okay, that sentence didn't really make sense, but the point is: why, with all our correct punctuation and spelling are we allowed to type these increasingly long abbreviations? Am I the only person who has to look up every IMHO and AFAIK I see? Not really directed just at you, it seems a lot of people start off their sentences with some series of capital letters.
Well, with the avian flu, a load of countries were complaining about how some places in Asia didn't handle things well enough and allowed the spread of disease to happen more easily. Now many of those countries are saying, "fine, we'll quarantine anybody who's suspected of having swine flu", so people are complaining that they're being too strict with their containment.
Well, going by the next post she made, I guess she was completely serious. Although I was inclined to laugh at first (okay, I laughed at first), this is on the same level as say, asking us to respect a forest before cutting it down. Seems reasonable in a speaking-with-nature sort of way.
If you look at the comparison image the site made, one of the comparisons made is that Google's home page is "plain white" while Bing's has "cool photos". Wait, what? Yeah, go take a look. The article spends about 5 paragraphs talking about the "story" then rattles on about Microsoft for the rest of the page.
Why do people feel the need to come up with such disgusting examples for their comments? This post and the image it conveys is just as "obscene" as any drawing, in my opinion.
I think the point is that while your pastor had it right, there were also plenty of people who WERE advocating corporal punishment --- why else would your pastor have to preach against it? By spending time and money researching the topic, it gives us a more definitive idea of who was right and who was wrong.
I actually clicked that, and went, "Hey, I thought I was logged in..." and logged back in to see what you were trying to show me.
Eventually I realized what was going on.
"Screaming Assrape"? "having sex without a condom at an STD conference"? Is it really so bad that you won't even connect internet to your computers? I almost always use Windows, and I feel that as long as you don't go running around clicking random ".zip" files or loading massive amounts of porn onto your computer there isn't much of an issue with viruses and trojans. Maybe I'm wrong, but I get the feeling you have to be fairly computer illiterate or somewhat stupid to manage to get your computer "assraped".

To make people feel better about themselves for not getting into Brown.

"header"/"footer" don't appear to indicate anything about printing that might reasonably be expected from those terms.
The word "arbitrary" seems to come from this line:
"aside" seems very arbitrary.
Ah, then we are in agreement. I misunderstood your original statement as talking about competitors rather than with fans.
