I may not have picked the best wording, but basically I'm agreeing that overall the disparity is very high. The upside is that games like Man City v Man U or Real Madrid v Barcelona end up being very entertaining.

Contracts would still exist, as well as a few other rules, but for the most part there wouldn't be things like a salary cap. European club soccer is much closer to this model and it both creates really strong competition at the top end and

This really isn't much more than a fluff piece giving an excuse for bad management. It ignores many of the detailed issues and instead makes it entirely about overall revenue using unsourced and likely made up numbers. Missing was any refe

Well that is his side of the story, which may or may not have any real truth to it. Personally I do not trust a single thing that Conrad Black says. As a Canadian I am upset at how he seems to have used his political clout to get himself

There is a great deal of both misunderstanding and ignorant Microsoft bashing in this comment. First of all, you are mixing up two completely different concepts. For character encoding on Windows: For many functions in the Windows API there

The map is really interesting, but its hard to read with those two colours. I'd like to see it with just white-blue or white-red.

The Model S is a revolutionary car, but I really hope the the big touch display without physical buttons doesn't become the norm. I really prefer the feedback you get from them while keeping your eyes on the road, especially for common fun

They really aren't even going head to head with Microsoft, since the Windows 8 app store is only for "Metro" apps and this will only be for regular Windows apps. The real danger for Valve is that people will release games for Metro instead

The sub section branding with the small w and the large first letter looks really awkward. Wiktionary is represented by a wT, but having a T represent a dictionary makes no sense, and there is a similar problem with wikiversity. They also

The headline is stating the facts, what you are suggesting is stating the google spin. Its usually a better idea to report the facts rather than the spin. There is no Google bashing in that headline. There was a lot of negative feedback t

It is unfortunate that this kind of information has been spread so widely about Windows 8, but it's just not true. The desktop is still there, icons are still there, overlapping windows are still there, the only thing gone is the start menu

Nokia had reached the end of the road on Symbian and needed a new direction. This is a risky thing to do and going with Windows Phone gave Nokia the backing a very large and still influential company. Going with anything else would have me

I have worked with a strict 80 character rule, and I find that it usually causes worse looking code with excessive multi-line statements, poor variable naming and makes refactoring more labour intensive. I have a soft limit of around 100 ch
