Hurray! So instead of putting them in now, the government will get a report done, spin it so it benefits them, THEN get them installed anyway but this time with some publicity of being "good for security and for the country"! Give me a break.
In a nutshell, he said that all of the applicants either had zero relevant experience
I remember going through this when I first finished university. I couldn't get the relevant experience as no one wanted to hire me. When I tried to get the relevant experience through self taught means, it meant jack squat to the companies as it didn't have some job title / company name next to it so they didn't care. I feel bad for all the new grads these days as I think they are in the same boat.
If you want business information, get your business analysts on the phone and ask them what is up. The CIO is there to keep your tech going strong with the company interests at heart, NOT to run the business with some tech input on the side. Gotta love the CEO perspective on things!
Wow, this will cause an uproar with families I would think!
Example: Buy game for 2+ children, but each child has own account as they don't want to have their saves touched / overwritten. Find out that game can only be used on child(a) account. Child(b) cries foul, wants his own saves and doesn't want to share etc. Fight breaks out as parent can't game to work on child(b) account.
Now I don't think this will be extremely COMMON to be honest, but I could certainly see some backlash from it! I don't like having other people in the house using my account to play games, as I fear that someone would accidentally mess up my saves etc. I'm sure a self entitled child will throw complete fits over it.
How about instead of focusing on eliminating the 40 hour work week we look at the vacation time given instead. Germany is probably the best example of this, given they get a lot of paid vacation time and are STILL one of the best off countries in Europe!
I've noticed while playing TF2 with some people who don't chat or speak during the game that they just... adapt. They know when you want that uber charge, they know when to sap the sentry, they know where they are needed. Granted this is with people I play with often and not new players, but it's rather neat seeing how they just seem to fit in where they need to without instruction, therefor, a better gamer.
This is REALLY getting old. Seems like everyday I'm seeing an article or some video claiming that "THIS OLD TECH / THING IS DYING!!! FEAR ME AND GIVE ME MONEY!!!"
This is being blown WAY out of proportion! Yes, demographics are changing but I don't see the death of consoles anytime soon. What I'm seeing is people who normally would never look at an xbox as it is to them a "kids toy" is people playing games on social networks because "Hey, if my 30 year old friend plays this and lets the world know then it's ok for me to play this too!". It's simply a shift in social norms to me.
While I fully admit to being a PC gamer for the most part (a good console RPG will still pull me away), I do not think the console is simply going to disappear. As long as it's a solid device that can deliver solid graphics and gameplay and NOT need to be upgraded (like a PC), there will always be a spot for a gaming console.
If this works without without my head wanting to explode (much like it does with half of the crap 3D movies I've seen) then this will be awesome to behold!
Happy - the playbook now recognizes MKV movie files
Con - The have very few codecs for it so most of my stuff doesn't play correctly! And I REALLY want my subtitles (I'm an anime geek, so sue me!)
We just need to figure out what is keeping Professor Farnsworth alive and we will be set! Although it will likely involve growing many things in jars and several sins against nature... but it would be for science!!!
Man, and I thought the fruit cake at the bottom of my freezer was old! Oh well, at least the fruit is still edible... though that is still up to debate!

Hence why I keep my laser pointer handy... it's the ONLY sure weapon I have against the furry beasts!
I so want this so I can turn my kitchen table into a giant touchscreen for D&D games! Would make the battles soooooooooooooo much faster!
I would toss in English Tintin as well too!

Non caffeinated coffee is like non alcoholic beer! And you can't tell me you drink either for the taste!

Gives a whole new definition to yelling out "FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!" when this thing shoots!
So we may finally get some actual X-Men out of this???
Add in the fact you have to buy THEIR memory cards and you are 100% Sony!

I propose we call this new planet "Barry White".

Am I the only one that thought this was a ploy by Valve to get your name in Half Life 3 when reading the title???
Cry me a river RIAA, and I'll piss you a data stream.
