"Jack Thompson [said] that the social networking site harmed him by not removing angry postings made by Facebook gamers."

"Jack Thompson [argued] that the game caused violent behavior."

Seems to me these angry postings prooved his cause
by showing game caused violent behavior.

something i don't understand

if i buy licence but not product
and this licence is time limited
why do i have to pay for maintenance ?

isn't licence a temporary right for me to use the product ?
in this case why would licence be detached from support & maintenance ?

2 years ago
a study on reading
have shown cutting sentences
is much more efficient

this was published on /.
but i lost the article

btw this is no poem

last time i heard of
such magical product
it was april fool

In Evolution terms
biologic systems fight for survival and propagation
at this game
that weed definitively is a winner
which can also be problematic
for earth overwhole winner : man.

but don't panic
Monsanto and its friends will
surely find some genetic magic
to kill that weed
ooh by the way
you'll have to pay
not only to kill
but also
to protect from its return.

finally
genetic business is
probably the Evolution winner...

when the watch battery is dead
do you replace the watch ?
or do you replace the kid ?

you probably would rather replace parents

Does it mean they have tested that technology for 19 years and their bulb just died ?

Man if MS could test their product that way ! :)

reminds me Tanenbaum's minix which was created as a response to closed Unixes systems.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MINIX

"MINIX is a Unix-like computer operating system based on a microkernel architecture. Andrew S. Tanenbaum wrote the operating system to be used for educational purposes; MINIX also inspired the creation of the Linux kernel. Its name is a portmanteau of the words minimal and Unix."

it has already started :

* (very) artificial intelligence
* considered as sexual artifact by many
* already started to take over men's life

they are called women

At the same time (the 5th I believe) Cryptic Studio is expected to launch Champions Online.
That MMO is a competitor to NCSoft City of Heroes.

By the way Cryptic developped and delivered City of Heroes to NCSoft a few years ago, then sold it to NCSoft.
Then Cryptic went on Champions.

Is it intriguing that NCSoft starts its new MMO at same time as Champions the competitor of its product CoH ?

If this is just calculated, then it may proove Aion is too young and not complete at launch time.

Since universe is full of such marvels.

I may get lucky and find the impossible woman ?

One that is not supposed to exist but suits me.

what does Fox Mulder says about that ?

This is absolutely same for non free business.

If you specialize in a niche and it disapears or someone else gets better at it
then no god will help you.
Evolution works against you and you end up in stomach of some competitor.

Look at Microsoft.
Desktop is now only a small part of business.

They went after servers only ~10 years after desktop was launched.
Now they are in office, cloud computing, search, even gaming and a lot more.

Look at Oracle. They develop not only database but also application.

Look at IBM. They went for service years ago.

Look a Dell. They are going for service for a few years now.

Look at Apple. They are selling mp3 and service around it.

This is simply wise corporate development.
That is called diversification.

buying a car second hand steals money to car manufacturers
