What about those of us who'd rather watch TV through Hulu, Netflix, and download shows on iTunes instead of paying for cable? These insanely low and expensive caps exist to make that option much less attractive.
The OS X desktop metaphor is that the Window is the Document, not the app. Hence why the app menubar is always at the top, and why closing one window does not close the entire program. Compare this to the desktop metaphor in Windows, where the window is the application, and you can see how the two contrast. I do not know exactly what metaphor GNOME or KDE use, or if there is a consistent one throughout. Most apps follow the Windows one, where the window is the app. But then you get apps like GiMP, where they seem to follow the OS X document metaphor.
Do you really expect all those people who are constantly asking their IT/Computer Guy friend to fix their broken Windows to be able to check if their hardware meets Vista's requirements?
I think the meaning was that Fox News really doesn't try to hide its Social Conservative bias, and the Economist doesn't really try to hide its Social Liberal bias.
They kind of already have the ability to do this, they just don't. When the Orange Box came out, it included a copy of HL2. Many people who wanted the Orange Box already owned a copy of HL2, so they set up a sort of gifting system, where you could gift your license to someone else. They did not allow you to sell it, however.
When you buy something on Steam, or a Valve game that is going to require Steam, you know going into the transaction that you won't be able to resell the game. That is a fact of life with Downloadable Content. If you don't like this, then don't buy their games.
The inhabitants of the original, nuked-out earth were Pure Cylon, and yet the cycle repeated for them. If you don't put so much stock in labels, you see the cycle as: Society A creates artificial life B, and treats them as slaves. Society B rises up, and overthrows Society A, leading to death & destruction.
Agreed. Good science fiction should be about the People (or Cylons), and not about the technology.
A really good example of this is Brian K. Vaughn's "Y: The Last Man", where he explores what life would be like for the last man alive on earth, surrounded by women. The reason for him being the last guy, and why all the other men died, is eventually explained, but its not important. The story, like I believe the story in Battlestar is, is more about the journey than the destination.
I really hope you're not serious with that. When I was taking my senior level Software Engineering class, we were divided into teams and given projects that we really didn't have any input on. This made that class pretty miserable and apathetic. While I worked hard on the project, I really didn't care about it, and wasn't enthusiastic about it. You may say that's what the real world is all about, but I say I have the rest of my life to work on boring shit I don't care about. At least let me work on something cool while I'm in college.
Usually in those cases, they haven't already answered the question at hand. This case is more like, if I ask you a question, you provide an answer, and then later I ask you the same question. You can't claim the 5th this time around, because you've already provided the answer.
They don't want to drive TomTom out of business. If they do, then the average Joe will feel it, and there will probably be some public opinion backlash against them. If they keep TomTom in business, then they get to collect some fat licensing fees, and get to prove their point about MS holding control of Linux.
You also could have spent a little time looking up reviews on the game. While the review industry may be plagued with corruption, there are still some honest, completely valid reviewers out there. I've found that usually, the best reviewers aren't the ones that try to pin a "score" on a game, but just describe what was going on in the game, and how they felt about it. The guys on The Totally Rad Show and 1up Yours (The show's name has been changed, but I don't remember what it was) tend to be really good at this.
That may be the place in some markets, but others, like Steam, often lower the price of games as time goes on, and even has some special weekends where they lower the price by quite a bit. And they often have classic games available for $10.
I remember reading about that backdoor, and it was really interesting. But how could one put that backdoor in without having it visible in the source? Granted the section of the code wouldn't have a big comment header saying "THIS IS WHERE THE BACKDOOR CODE IS", but it has to leave some kind of footprint in the source code, doesn't it?
Or did that work because the code he gave people wasn't the actual code he used?

Oh, so they were just kidding about all that "Unlimited" stuff they put in all their advertisements?

The engine is free. The Art, sprites, sounds, levels, etc, are not free.
- Can't sell your games on second hand

When he says he's been infected from legit software, he's probably talking about DRM; most likely Securom or the like.
Then you head toward Silicon Trailer-Park? (Not necessarily a bash on you, just the lame stereotype joke of rednecks living in trailer parks)
Its where that Football team is, isn't it? The Big Red one?

Developing and testing iPhone apps outside of OS X will probably happen when you can develop and test Windows Mobile apps outside of Windows.

I once tried to go into a job with a Dr. House mentality. I was fired after a week for suggesting that every problem was lupis.

The article states that he opened the encrypted partition, and showed a video that appeared to be CP.
To which they'll reply "Well then you get to sit in PMITA prison until you remember."

I would consider having to have a Windows license and a copy of Visual Studio an initial cost.

Yes, but spending a few quid on beers means you aren't as picky, and would be willing to go for a girl that costs less.
