Small amounts of nudity are allowed in PG13 movies. However, if you have the same sort of nudity rendered in a videogame, it gets rated M. I'm not entirely clear why the Teen rating doesn't cover this for games...
Someone mod this moron down. It's clear that he didn't even read TFSummary. CRITICAL patches announced in April are still not available. He somehow reads that as "there is no need to patch anything"...
"...are self-selected because they tend to know more about technology than your average PC buyer..."
While this is true in some segments of the market (*nix geeks migrating to OS X), it is by no means true of other segments. There are many designers/graphics pros who choose to use Macs. However, this in no way implies that they actually understand technology. Some do. Many don't. The choice to use Macs is typically because either they have always used Macs or that is what they were trained on.
I really think they should have Sabotage by the Beastie Boys on that list. The guitar part to that is a tough one (nonstop muted string eighth notes)...
It's nice to know that MS will outspend Yahoo! and Google. However, isn't ROI a more important factor when it comes to things like this? I'm crystal-balling that MS will have the lowest ROI of the three over the next few years.
Oh, I personally don't think it's unfortunate, for exactly the reason you give. However, from a marketing standpoint it is unfortunate, specifically because people get used to it--it dilutes brand recognition and awareness.
Unfortunately, that's just the way it seems that marketing works. After a short while, a name is just a name, and doesn't elicit any reaction. However, if you can create an initial buzz around something by giving it a noticable name, then you've done a good job. It doesn't matter how stupid the name is. Eventually everyone just gets used to it...
That's actually what they were talking about on TWiT. Apparently some VCs recently gave them $8M. At this rate, unless YouTube actually create some sort of business plan or gets another cash infusion, they'll be gone by the end of the year.
Because of your post, I would like to present you with this +3 Sceptre of Extreme Dorkdom. I'm confident that you'll know exactly what the benefits and disadvantages of wielding it are.
On the most recent This Week in Tech, it was mentioned that YouTube is burning a million dollars a month in bandwidth fees (yes, a million). My question is, who are they paying that money to? I'm assuming it's the very same telco that is claiming that they're not making any money off of YouTube...
So you are saying that by going to your friend's house, you are now a different person (aka, a different unique visitor)? It may count as two separate visits (which is not what is being argued here), but you are still the same unique visitor. Counting IPs alone does not provide an accurate representation of how many unique visitors view a site. Your example only helps to demonstrate this.
Please explain how exactly this is a typo. One supposes you read it as 'ad,' which is short for advertisement (note the single 'd' in the word). My use was the correct word, add, which means 'in addition to.' Now, if you were talking about homophones, then I could have a slight chuckle with you. Otherwise it appears that you are simply ignorant and like to point that out to others.

They're absolutely too strict. I've added myself to Hormel's email notification list countless times, but their messages never get through to me.

They really need to find a way to tie these various music games together. And I nominate YYZ as the song they use to do that...

So the fact that the more healthy you are, the more likely this thing could kill you.
A collective sigh of relief is heard emanating from the readers of slashdot...

Thanks, but no thanks. I prefer the highly explosive vaccine, thank you very much...

So, does this mean that those guys can stop the work they've done on the X0 laserdisc rips?

More importantly, how big is the file that's downloaded? And please provide your answer in the standard unit of measure (LoCs).

Will the LoC also be archiving the NoCD cracks that allow these games to be played without the original media, too?
Ummm, isn't that the same quote that it's been since, oh, the 0.2 or 0.3 release? Y'know, back when it was called Phoenix.
Well, at least your system would be rooted by people from MIT. It's comforting to know that you've been rooted by some of the best...
You somehow have been modded up. It seems that at least you and a moderator need to learn the definition of unique.

So, he's saying my website has 1/10th of a visitor?
