your equation would be missing the top speed and longevity portion of efficiency. Being able to travel 150 miles to the beach and back in the same day would probably not be possible and/or kill the horse from exhaustion.
Neocron and WWII online both have received very poor reviews due to lacking in fun gameplay. Planetside was quite a lot of fun several years ago, but seems to have burned out by a withering community and almost nobody to play against except on weekend nights. I'm still waiting on the next great FPS MMO to come along and bring back what was good at first in Planetside.... but its gotta add something more since it certainly wasn't without its faults either in certain parts of the gameplay (Yes, I'm looking at you base capture spam in the tunnels). The game was simply at its best until you actually started fighting inside the bases with over a hundred people trying to funnel through the small corridors.
By marketing as a completely new version they're likely to make more sales of the expensive hardware they bundle with the OS to people who want to upgrade but think buying the $100 upgrade would be too difficult. Of course even paying for a $100 upgrade from Leopard doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Myself I'm still on Tiger with my Mini which means I can't even try to develop for the iPhone, so I may just end up jumping to Snow Leopard just because, that is unless I can nab a copy of Leopard for much cheaper than $100.
Just think though, if you no longer had to pay 2.25 per gallon of gasoline, but instead your electric car just pulled energy from the road it traveled on at a rate that would not only be lower but would then be tacked on to your electric bill. The same is true for the future as it is now, the best we can do to keep our privacy is make sure laws protect them, and more appropriately require a WARRANT. No more of this warrantless bullshit.
Ditto to that. Shouldn't they instead tax the unsafe operating systems (mostly, if not only Windows) that are sold for money and require people to then pay more money for antivirus? Taxing the usage of internet for providing antivirus seems lame when you have an operating system that has little need of it right now, such as Linux and OSX (mostly). Plus it certainly disregards the growing number of free antivirus programs that can be used by consumers.
A friend of mine recently had a similar decision to make. His XP PC he's had since college finally kicked the bucket, as in hardware failure, and he didn't have the money nor the real need to purchase a new computer with Vista at the tune of $500. So I ended up helping him out, sold him my old PC from early college years which was similar in specs to his old one, only I stuck Ubuntu on it and sold it for $50. Now he's able to get back to his basic computer needs, which are mostly web surfing, email, and MP3 playback/syncing. It works with his video iPod and works with his digital camera which for some reason doesn't work on his girlfriend's windows laptop. Not too shabby I'd say.
These 2 laws of the holiest of holies this would be breaking!
One, the ridiculing of the holiest body of christanity, we the inquisition!
Two, the use of skit material not created by you but created by the holiest body of christianity, we the inquisition!
And three, the countenance upon which you stated the material... THREE!
Mark these 3 laws the holiest of holies that thou dost mock!
I think you mean "value = utility / (cost + 1)", otherwise you'll get a negative number which wouldn't make much sense. Not to mention cost equivalents of 1 would give you a divide by zero mess:P
then explain how the music player runs in the background while you surf the net and use other apps, so my bet is that it would not be a reliable way to prevent a virus from running in the background. They're basically relying on their ability to control apps from the app store and their SDK limitations to prevent malware from popping in.
and as I recall Black Hawk Down was an entertaining movie first, and then a video game. How exactly is this different? I think the excuse "because we're still in Iraq" is exactly why this game needs to push on to release date.
Windows may be the dominating x86 desktop platform, it is nowhere near the top in the mobile phone platform. I don't know the real statistics but I'm pretty certain they're bringing up the rear in that field, but Intel certainly would want a piece of that area if possible.
If more people actually understood how capitalism worked then we probably wouldn't be a recession. It just doesn't work when greed meets inconceivable expectations.
the differences between OS9 and OSX were mostly under the hood as far as most people were concerned, so from that standpoint it was more similar for users as transitioning from Win 95/98 to XP to Vista. KDE 4 on the other hand made quite a few more radical changes from 3.5 from a user's standpoint. They could have done like Apple and attempt to keep the user's experience similar enough rather than trying to completely change their perception of what KDE is.
I was able to follow some FAQs that had me use PPP to forward ports over bluetooth, though it was used to get my palm mobile phone to load the internet over bluetooth. I imagine you could do the same but in reverse though its certainly no easy task.
I bought Ubuntu for $20 at BestBuy sometime last year shortly after 8.04 came out. Haven't seen it since then, but I assume free OS's don't sell too well when obscurely placed in the PC software section instead of directly next to all the shiny Windows Vusta boxes.
But thats really irrelevant, the thing I take issue to is that Mac OSX is NOT a better developer environment than Ubuntu. I've been using Ubuntu for over 2 years now at work and the only thing I can't do with it is Netmeeting, which is becoming less relevant since Lotus e-meeting works in linux for sharing desktops. I own a MacMini at home and I just can't bring myself to develop on it. That bit aside, equipping a programmer with a MacPro desktop or laptop is just far too expensive to justify anyway.
I'm in the beta, and while it has a few shortcomings where I would much prefer to be using Ubuntu, the 10 second boot is amazing and firefox seems to not only start up really fast, but also seems to load pages faster as well than firefox under windows and ubuntu... assuming this company fully advertises it when its released they could make a killing (supposedly it will be a mere $20 to purchase, but hopefully they will also release a version you can install without requiring a windows install)
ooh I love choose your own adventure, but it seems you're missing an option to confront the dragon or sneak by it to make mojo with the guarded princess while the dragon sleeps. That way you don't end up with any baby-mama drama.
actually the Japanese are the ones making robots with the intentions of making them friends, whereas others tend to militarize them and think of them as becoming our new overlords. That's possibly why they ended the series showing only the robots that weren't killing machines.

It would seem the grandparent forgot the word of the year is Socialism. At least it is on Fox News.
ya shoulda gone with Damn Large Linux instead, cuz now she just thinks all your equipment is Damn Small. Either that or you smell like elderberrys.

That's nothing, we had to make 1s and 0s out of paper cutouts using safety scissors after our fathers killed us every morning!

duh silly, just put the car into hover mode. Sheesh you'd think Back to the Future 2 would have taught folks a thing or two about life close to 2015!

I'll take combo #1, #2 and #3, hold the mayo, super sized please. Oh and hold the pickles, they give me gas.

what if people make a pirated server that can be connected to for free, and play all the games for free?
