I loved this show when it first came out. Of course the network didn't support it well and it got canceled. My how times have changed because this show has taken off much to the credit of the loyal fan base which resurrected the show. I hope FOX remembers who was right in the future when another show like this comes along. And good luck to you Stewie and you new found success:)
If the advetising doesn't detract from the game and the revenue reduces the cost of it, then I'm in. If it doesn't than what's the point from a gamers perspective?
Postal really started this genre many years ago and created a stir. This is just the next target from crazy parent groups and surely not the last. If they would spend as much time with their kids, maybe they wouldn't be so messed up!
When you look at the value you're getting, $50 or so for a game is reasonable. Many games will give you months of entertainment. The cost per hour is extremely low when compared to renting a movie or going to the theater. Just my two cents.
What are you doing??!?! Don't you know that/. users fear change! Next thing you know,/. will update the hideous green color scheme that we have all come to know and love!.
Jobs was burned in the past and is not immune to that again. Obviously he is doing great things, but in a world where technology changes fast and companies fall even faster, it would be wise to shutup and focus. I do find it amusing though to see Jobs sticking it to MS though.
When will the RIAA stop these senseless lawsuits and focus on the digital download market. Piracy will always exist, accept that and work on growing your customer base instead of increasing the number of enemies.
This shouldn't surprise anyone. MS wants Vista to be out before any major patch to XP. Its in their best interest as it compels more people to upgrade to Vista. XP will be treated like a red-headed step child so Vista will look more appealing. So long as they issue security patches I'll be happy. It's what I've come to expect.
I always love to hear about stuff like this. However, good luck finding enough content worth recording. I have a PVR with 1 tuner and I struggle for stuff to record. Most of TV is crap except for Battlestar Galactica of course and Family Guy:)
This story was posted yesterday and it infuriated me. These telcos are trying to extort more money from providers and us. Big players like Google/MS/AOL/etc need to come out and bring this issue to the forefront so it can be obliterated. Or Google can just by these companies:)
Google is all over this market.

They're going to have a tough time competing with the vast amounts of data that Google is collecting on everyone and has been collecting for some time.
AMD just proves that regardless of your advertising budget, it all comes down to good performance and good price. I don't think I have ever seen an AMD commercial, whereas Intel was all over the TV. Dell has finally taken notice and will start widespread use of AMD chips soon. Thanks for the giving Intel some competition AMD!
Go ahead and outsource your homework. When you graduate and get a job, your company will realize you don't know anything and outsource your job to the same people. I've seen it happen.
I've noticed a trend in medical devices that clinics are marketing now for "peace of mind". There are scans for your heart, lungs, and now your skin. While I find the devices neat, they really don't fix anything. They seem just like another way for clinics to seperate money from you.
"...and how the most terrible thing in the history of Slashdot is the fact that the 4th story down contains the word 'to' when it ought to contain the word 'too'. That missing 'o' is the greatest travesty on-line today!
Like in the 5th paragraph of this article:) "Many submissions are to long or to short."
Having checked my website over the last few months, I was surprised at the statistics. Firefox has 56.15%, IE 17.48%, Mozilla 7.35% and the rest was Safari, Opera and even a few Netscape users! FF has done an incredible job thus far and I hope they continue to produce a great product. What has browser usage been like on your site?
While I find books quite useful for learning about coding and such, many other non-technical people might find it more useful to use an online resource like http://computer.howstuffworks.com/
There are plenty of visual aids and easy to follow diagrams. Give that a shot and see if it helps or inspires your book.
Is it any surprise that the issue hasn't gone away? Look at the two major supporters for software patents...Microsoft and Sun. They are just using their power and influence to dictate policies that favor them. What I found amusing is this... "The bill had been supported by the European pro-patent lobby, which included corporations such as Microsoft and Sun, who claimed that the directive would encourage investment in research and development in Europe." Sure it would encourage investment....from large companies like MS and Sun. They of course will reap most of the benefits aswell. Software patents are a bad idea and stifle creativity.
I for one would love to see Google get into the tv advertising realm. Imagine having no commercials and just seeing a text ad in the lower right portion of your show. That would make legal issues for PVRs disappear overnight and consumers would be happy. Also, if anyone here rememebers the 'I'nteractive on DirecTv that would allow a consumer to press a button on the remote to get more information for a product. It would be like clicking on a google ad from a tv show:)
If you look at the settlement in the New York District court it is nothing more than a slap on the wrist. Sony knowingly infected computers with what amounts to a trojan horse. In return they have to pay a little money and promise not to do it again. That's insane when you consider the witch hunts that have taken place for 16 year-old kids releasing a virus. Sony needs to pay and pay dearly for their deliberate criminal actions. The government always wants to send hackers a strong message...well then the same applies to corporations!
Ditton on this one. 350-400 million are below the poverty line and its getting worse because the population growth rate is higher than the economic growth rate. Seems like a their priorities are messed up.
