This it's not true on the real world. PHP can be configurated in too differente ways that you cannot guarantee almost anything will work on a different host machine. I code in PHP the most part of the time, and there is almost nothing that can be assumed as "write once, run anywhere".
I think this senator (John Lieberman) don't have any idea about the computational impact of this bill (almost impossible). As the majority of the politicans, he's making laws to raise credibility over the non tech people.
I'm not a Microsoft employee, but Win 7 is hardly based on Vista, and 7 is a success (in the market). So, maybe Vista was not a success on the market, but provided the common base for 7.
I cannot agree with X360. It's a great console. PS2 was too. But only Wii brings a new fresh air to videogames. It's not the same (just more power to graphics), it's a whole new concept (hardware AND software): target to people that never played a game OR old gamers that lost videogames tasting. I know here and gadgets sites are filled by geeks like us (love hardware power), so I can understand that X360 or PS2 are a natural vote. But in a world perspective, it's not the videogame of the decade.
Need for Speed started as a serious game, the best at time of 3DO, Saturn and PS1. In fact, I liked the first Underground game too. I think EA can put efforts on two separated series, but the main point here is: spend more time increasing the overall quality. We have at least one NFS game for year, all crap. I think one game each 2 or 3 year, but a real solid blockbuster racing game, will increase the overall sales.
At that time, the discs were really well made. Today, all China cheap operations keep the CD manufacturer discs. In that time, CDs was (not so) expensive, today is almost free, with crap material.
The main difference: the mainframes has some kind of backward compatibility, and (the main one) the price. All the "we now sell software" marketing has one objective: sell the extreme expensive mainframes.
People are complaining about Blu-Ray + PS3 = 16%... so, HD-DVD + 360 addon = 14%... still a impressive number (only 2% lower) for a looser format. As a lot of people told, Sony win was a Pyrrhic win.
Or, as a greater brazilian writer says, "to the winner, the potatoes!".
This is a niche, I don't see any problem to use Flash/Flex for stuffs like this. I'm just talking that Flash is not the future web standard for any webpage.

I'm not sure about the sucess of the Natal Project. The big differential from Wii is the Nintendo games.

Hm, I got it. You're a CEO that doesn't understand the business adequately.
This is enough cash to cover the chair throwing hidden cost.

Ok, you don't understand a joke. Please, put my previous comment as Funny.
Now you can install your pirate Corporate Pro version.

What a bad burner does? Burn a bad bit?

Agree, but the usability rules tells that a software must provide interface for power users too. Why there is no option to change to 2003 interface?
Please, can we avoid the "java vs C/CC++" thread again?
OH-MY-GOD! Nobody complaining about the weird namespace separator!

I'm not an Apple zumbi, but I should applause the upgrade price for OS X: $ 29.
He's not. A nerd never never NEVER spoken a bad word about videogames.

Waiting for "Javascript is a cool language" zealots.
So, Debian can include Mono, but not Firefox due the Logo license? I think Mono has a lot more copyrighted stuff than the Firefox logo.

Sorry, I agree, I should replaced "only" by "in most of cases"
