I know they also published one for earlier years while still publishing which like a fool I neglected to buy. :(

Seriously, right off the bat when Apple sued Samsung the first thought that crossed my mind was "how is this going to work out", Samgung is simply going to counter sue the crap out of them. Then when it was noted that the iPhone contains Samsung parts, I just shook my head at the stupidity.

I'm sure the person at Apple that was getting pats on the back over this slick move is now picking the shoe parts out of their ass.

You know the extra delicious bit of irony with this new turn is that we have a Korean company suing an American company and filing for injunction to prevent the American company from shipping their products because they've outsource production overseas. HAhahaha. Globalization? How's that working out for you?

...and here I was feeling nice about my 4 digit ID. Can't wait till you 3 digit'rs die off so we can have our day in the sun (sic).

Seriously though, congrats, although I do have you beat on the marriage (19 years!)...

I'd match you on the four character domain but I had to sell it during the dot com bust back in 2002 to live on as I was working for one of those dot coms that busted!

and I clearly can't spell to save my life tonight. grr again.

Let's just home they get around to fixing bugs instead of shoveling features up until the last minute. I'm fear that clearly since they don't know what beta means (beta means you're done adding features and are now testing and buttoning up your code to prepare to ship) that shipped may be confused with "time to debug". Sigh... There are some seriously major architectural problems with the code and he's currently telling the community that certain single player features will never be implemented in multi-player because the code is two busted to make it work. Grrr...

I've personally run into this before where a seller set up a shill account to run up bids near the close of the auction to force up the final bid. I reported it as fraud and had the account in question shut down. That's one case and I've heard of it happening to other people as well.

Max bid only works if you're willing to risks of paying out the nose for something or you only have a casual interest in getting the item to begin with. The other side is, if you absolutely need to get the item but want to pay the least amount for it, sniping is about the only way to accomplish it.

Let's see... what kind of horrible things to people do to Sims? Put them in a house with no toilet? Strand them in pool without a ladder? etc... I shudder at the abuse we'll see attempted and if this thing learns from it's interactions. Ick.

"but I suspect that there are very few of these at the same point in their technological development as we are"... you forgot the rest of that sentence ... "today, only thousands if not millions of years ago."

SETI as designed is incapable of even detecting and decoding something akin to the Arecibo message, so I'm always puzzled at how they think they're actually going to know when they have hot data for real. I applaud the effort but I've always felt it was more of a feel-good activity for people to join in on. Hmm....

"A ghostwriter is a professional writer who is paid to write books, articles, stories, reports, or other texts that are officially credited to another person."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostwriter

This sounds like a ghost writing service more than plagiarism. Plagiarism is where you steal someone elses work and take credit for it. Highering someone else to write your academic paper is unethical yes, but plagiarism? If it's an original work... no. It is not plagiarism.

Actually they already had one 3-D goggle product in the market. It was a headset for the Master System. Only a couple of games supported it, so it's possible someone was worried about latent liability lawsuits.

This idea is flawed from the start. As soon as we knew they were thinking this, someone started added redundancy layers to maintain service (let's just include white hat, companies not wanting downtime risks and not even consider the hackers), unless they're talking full on kill where they get every telco in North America to power down their data centers simultaneously, black out every satellite in the sky and shut down the phone systems.

Oh wait... they better block radio communications as well since people have been able to to do IP over HAM radio as well.

Oh... let's kill the pigeons, since people have proven they can use birds like sneaker net...

And speaking of sneakernet, they better come and get our shoes as well.

Yeah, that's going to go over real nice.

These people are idiots.

For instance I had originally written off buying Little Big Planet, Dissidia: Final Fantasy and Half Minute Hero as all I normally use my PSP for is to play Patapon 1 and 2 (I call it my Play Some Patapon system much to the annoyance of my kids). But, on a lark I went ahead and pulled down the demos from PSN and decided that no... really I need to get these other games and they're now on my purchase list as soon as I can find them at the right price. I've bought a number of Xbox 360 games based on the demos as well (both Live Arcade games and retail sold games).

But back to the subject of EA though... I wasn't going to get into this but the more I think about it the more irritated I get... and they've been doing a good job of irritating me over the last few years.

The pinnacle of my irritation came when we tried to get a two player LAN match of Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 running at home between two Xbox 360s.
Let's summarize: 1) two Xbox Live accounts required, 2) two unique secondary logins to EA's multi player servers, 3) active/stable Internet access for both Xbox's so that they can get to the Live and EA servers... and 4) since you can rarely get two Xboxs to connect to the Internet simultaneous from a single LAN (without setting up special routing rules) I had to setup a second Internet router with my PC broadband card to give the second Xbox it's own laggy Internet connection... We ended up getting about two gaming sessions out of this nightmare before everyone got fed from jumping through the hoops and now the game is rotting on the shelf. Good job EA... You win, you got the sale and no server load!!!

Seriously? Just to play a two player LAN match? They can really just bite my ass. They truly have become the antithesis of everything Trip Hawkins set out to fight against when he created the company.

So there you go.
