In a sense I think we are saying the same thing. As a gaming dork I hear nightmare after nightmare about the way EA treats companies after they buy them. Imagine a small gaming studio that makes a successful game that came from passion and

For those that follow gaming, it isn't a surprise that EA is shrinking. The article doesn't say so, but I would imagine it is the lower level people getting laid off for the upper level's constant terrible decision making. Sad.

Did you care about this guy before he died? Or are you just using his death to grandstand on some anti-environmentalist rant?

"That's ridiculous. This shouldn't even be a debate. Even if you could use all the organic material that you have--the animal manures, the human waste, the plant residues--and get them back on the soil, you couldn't feed more than 4 billion

This seems like an oversimplification. She isn't suing because her blog was publicized, she is suing because her personal information was released without her consent. Now, obviously google was responding to a court order, whether or not sh

Great point. However, as a musician, there seems to be some catch 22 here. There are a lot of drug addicts in the world, but there was only one John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, etc... so clearly doing drugs isn't a passport to creati

>People reading the WSJ find the news contained there within valuable enough to pay for it. I would disagree. I think that the people who would pay for the WSJ are already paying for it. I don't see why people who aren't paying for it n

I'm not sure about that. I think thinks like the WSJ will suffer greatly but his big audience, the Fox News crowd, will pay to get that slop they call news. The Fox News/Noecon relationship is a lifestyle now, not just a political idea. I c

I agree with what you're saying. It's amazing me to how people won't support art or politicians that they agree with or any other important thing because they are broke but will have plenty of money for beer. I have to laugh at one thing: "

Before everyone goes crazy, I would like to know the standard procedure at AT&T to deal with a DDoS attack. Can they point to previous examples of shutting down sites because of it? Surely 4chan isn't the only site that has been attacke

I think this article completely misses the point. He isn't apologizing for the copyright laws, he is apologizing for how it was handled and most likely for allowing it to happen in the first place. You can't escape the delicious irony that

Starcraft works almost perfectly in wine. Th only thing that doesn't work are the background on battle.net when you are in the lobby. Game play works 100%.

"You may not remember the absolute deluge of games that were utter tripe on the SNES and Genesis" I do, and it's just the same today. Generic FPS 1, generic FPS 2, generic FPS 3, etc... I agree with what you said, but I don't think it's cha

I had a good teacher at UVM who took time out of class to discuss this subject one day. He made it crystal clear that as a student, you own everything you code. As a professor, or paid person of the university, that is not necessarily the c

"So, what's the motivation for me the author of a book or software to actually write a book or software. Believe me that monetary gain is part of the motivation." So you never lent a friend a book? Never borrowed a movie from someone? Have

I've been surprised how many people say it looks nice. I completely agree with your statement. It looks straight from those fake search results on domains. I thought the homepage was pretty weak too.

I don't know if I agree. Owen's letter seemed to pretend that Kasparov didn't lose the last match. Why would Hsu need to establish himself as a competitor when he won the last match? That doesn't make any sense to me. When he says things li

You can just run FF in wine and watch it from there. It works for me. Sometimes the video doesn't appear, but if you hit full screen then return it to normal, it starts working.

I find that many people in your situation make this all or nothing decision when it doesn't have to be. Why not start looking for a new job today and when you actually find one, then quit. No need to put so much pressure on yourself. If you

And what's your point? You don't see the difference between a free and private owned and operated website restricting access and a countries government making it totally illegal?
