Besides, the existence of multiple big-named companies trying to fight for our dollars in the same market means more price cuts for us, better games vying for our attention and more options!
Just so you all know, this is really only applicable to big business. Heck, their first suggestion: 1. Assemble an incident response team suggests to "assemble a legal team." Personally, I'm not all for calling my lawyer for a few c1al15 and v14gr4 popups.
Do you feel it's fair to "teach someone early on not to steal" by cutting off their hands? How about torture? Putting a 10 year old child in front of a judge, jury and the world is not only extreme, I can't imagine what it will do to this poor child emotionally and psychologically. This is reminiscent of the Middle Ages...
For a $50 book, I'd rather pay $4 in sales tax and 25 cents in gas than pay $5 for shipping and having to wait a week... Besides, the new competition might even drive the costs down making the whole "extra cost" issue moot.
Morality is defined as: conformity to the rules of right conduct; As it is generally POSITIVE, biologically, to sustain one's own species, I could assume that morals are biologically inherent to successful social creatures. If your species thrives merely by numbers (which is hard to argue against with us humans these days!), morals would help individuals in the group cope with "group rules," thereby advancing the group as a whole.
Though, if one argues that "laws" (political, not biological...this could actually apply to both!) are merely a philosophical, intangible set of ideas applied to a large group to control said group, the idea of "morality" would merely be philosophical. Anything done instinctively is simply attributed to genetics, and the fact the bad "not beneficial" genes were weeded out during the evolutionary process. Morals are strictly a human creation, therefore implying a metaphysical, or philosophical angle.
This can be a valid point, but at the same time a group of guys and I ALL pulled weekly all-nighters, which was the ONLY way to pass our (703 level) Solid State class. Of the 7 people that took the class when I did, the 3 other guys who pulled the all-nighters with me and I passed....PASSED! The rest failed. No joke. We HAD to utilize EVERY single minute we could just to PASS.
The true test will be when their dropout rate increases by 5-fold, a week before finals.
I think it's not out of the realm of reality to have a project financed privately, yet retain objectivity in the project itself. Just because it's optimized for banking, QoS, VPN's, encryption and accountability DOESN'T mean that there couldn't be some sort of "first amendment" law, or some sort of encrypted anonymous method to browsing... I agree that it wouldn't be truly "open" anymore, but I don't think that's any worse than say, the move from POP mail to webmail. Sure you can use the same programs (so long as they support the interoperability,) and yes, there were things you could do with POP mail that are difficult to do with webmail (simply because those programmers who made the webmail application might have not chosen to ALLOW all of the functionality one would see in a POP client.) One could argue this is due to security, privacy, power...but one could also argue that it's so that Google can scan your mail and advertise to you appropriately. Bad? No. Annoying? Maybe, but I'm willing to live with it if it means I get to use a tool like Gmail (especially for free!)
The program will collaborate with, and be funded by, approximately seven industrial partners with interests in networking services, equipment, semiconductors and applications.
...I would assume that it would be determined by those who are building it....meaning ^^ those guys!
Considering it's basically the Chinese National Bank, and that Lenovo and Microsoft just struck a deal this "insightfulness" has the potential to be very business driven... Of course, it could be pure coincidence.
You would be right, if and only if Hawking was talking about things that couldn't ever be proven one way or another. At that point, he wouldn't be doing any sort of physics anymore, he'd be somewhere off in that grey area where it borders philosophy and religion.
In a way this is irrelevant, as the FBI is essentially governed by those who write the laws, therefore if ignorance is their excuse then the blame falls on the law makers (see the problem here?)
Xbox Live is more direct a competitor to something like Gamespy or Kali (OK so it's been a few years since I've been a PC gamer, cut me some slack!) It has much more to do with the actual "match making" process than the "hosting," or even social aspect. You pay for the ability to find someone to play with, instantly, on the same platform, (roughly) localized with good connection speeds and a neutral environment. You DON'T pay for your friend list, to rate the people on the service, to (completely) access the marketplace (albeit it might be a week late), to, in essence, take full advantage of LIVE outside the matchmaking service. A silver account is free and does 75% of what a gold account does.
...or....troll.... he's suggesting that the hippy-liberal-hypocritical types (see: al gore) might just be tooting a horn that would be better left alone, at least until it's better understood!
How? And how is this possibly insightful? Windows OneCare Live is $49.95 a year for 3 PC's, regardless of whether it's a renewal or new customer. Sounds to ME that Microsoft is one of the ONLY companies doing it correctly! (selling ONLY the service, not the software)

Car batteries have extremely corrosive sulfuric acid. I think sticky is easily handled...
Actually, I figured it was Mitch Bainwol posting AC...

Show me a bowl that doesn't have a hole and I'll show you a bowl. Show me a bowl WITH a hole and I'll show you a doughnut.

No it doesn't. Spend $80 and be legit. Better than $200,000, legal, and probably just as easy.

Too bad it wasn't Mel Gibson. A little rehab should patch that right up.....

But again, water is still a requirement... I think THAT'S what's most significant (at least to me) about this revelation.

...and before I forget, you STILL have monthly fees with MMOG's on the 360, just like the PS2, PS3, [insert platform that supports an MMOG here], etc.
