That would be so funny. I'd love these companies to stop breaking laws and sticking their fingers up at anyone who tells them to stop. It would speed MS's demise too.
If you cant stay honest you shouldn't be allowed to do business.
The resolution for TVs will still be 1080p so its not like theres going to be much need for more GPU horsepower and anything more than 30fps is wasted on a TV anyway. Games haven't significantly increased CPU requirements in the past few years and I cant see it changing any time soon.
Games companies don't need anything more than this to churn out CoD14 & Sims7. They're content to throw out one disappointment after another because they know that ultimately the public will buy it.
This is going to be the current level of "console port" for the foreseeable future. To be honest i'm pleasantly surprised. If anything it increases the chances that more console games will make their way to the PC given the similar architecture. I'm just glad they didn't go the other way and use ARM to make ports to mobile platforms easier (or consoles getting the karmic "mobile ports")
I'd also be glad if graphics stagnated in games for the next 6 years. It might force one or two games companies to improve other parts of the games instead like gameplay.
Managers will look at how much money it'll make and very little else but entrepreneurs will try something because it seems like a good idea. The profit/loss for a manager will be a few percent (depending on the market & hollywood accounting) but the entrepreneur will make or lose a lot more. Most people seem to forget that for every successful entrepreneur out there you'll find 10 who failed or got stepped on by someone else.
If any regulation is added it'll be no different to Chip & Pin, Verified by Visa or any number of other security failures badly added to prevent fraud (shift liability to the customer) or as an inconvenience (DRM).
Trying to add some kind of regulation would probably be so badly implemented that it'll increase the risk of fraud or exploitation.
The US Government is made up of corporations and a small subset of the people. Grouping an entire population in there is the kind of ignorance we should strive to end.
I said the US Government, not the US or it's people.
Islam is a religion or a belief not a people. If you're referring to Islamic Fundamentalists then yes you're right but only if you group them with the KKK, white supremacists and many other similar organizations. You should also understand that they represent a very very small minority of the people with Islamic beliefs.
"our dual mission is to facilitate travel in the United States while we secure our borders, our people, and our visitors from those that would do us harm like terrorists and terrorist weapons, criminals, and contraband,"
Nice sound byte accusing him of being a terrorist without actually saying it.
Every time I see this kind of thing it just confirms that the biggest threat to peace and the ones creating racial intolerance and hatred are the US Government.
I dont know how small the number is but I've seen a few people besides myself running it. I'm assuming its a random selection like they did with DotA2 and CS:GO. It looks really interesting but not easy to figure out. I'm sure YouTube guides will turn up. Bonus points for making a How-To in the tool itself.
No, you're right. The video should have stayed on YouTube. Everyone has the right to their opinion EVEN if it is stupid, offensive and possibly illegal.
You are forgetting that YouTube has the right to remove whatever videos they want, its their site and nobody was stopping that girl from voicing her opinions as she free to upload her hate to other sites.

anything more than 30fps is wasted on a TV anyway
WAT? Why do Slashdotters insist on throwing random bullshit claims like these into otherwise sensible comments?
The PS4 will be made for 30fps simply because thats what most TVs are capable of. Sony wont care if you buy into the 200hz marketing or not.

Not all crimes get harsher penalties. Rape & murder get a comparative slap on the wrist these days.
People's lives have no value but cost someone money (even imaginary income) and they throw the book at you.
$600 for 3 songs is still a big fine.
Anything that slows the the english language's inevitable progression into a type of text speak is a good thing.
In that case you need a really really secure password for your internet-connected critical systems. I Suggest "Kaboom".
i can improve yours. one, zero or penguin allows for all possibilities.

I'm just glad they're abandoning 999 used in the UK. Its far too easily miscalled on a locked phone.
That implies that someone could undo all this madness induced lawmaking that government has been up to lately.
They'll just re-apply using a 26.5 degree angle.

They do it for the same reasons, they just try to hide it better.

Not retired, just irrelevant. He is a full-time whore for US corporate interests now.
The phone conversation's lifetime.
If you liked Microsoft Tax you're going to love Microsoft Rent.

That should say "Scales of Justice (tm) brought to you by Macdonalds & Gatorade"
It should be turned into a game show. Whoever can throw more money onto their side of the scales of justice wins.
