Angry Birds is a complete copy of other games that came before it. They didn't stumble on anything. They took the Zygna approach, copy it and market it better than the originators.

My sister was all hyped up to get the Sprint 4G phone. Only to find out there was no 4G coverage in her area (Phoenix metro area).

If SnowWorld helps that much imagine what PornWorld will do!

Usually when you get reduced to cheater status by MS it's nearly always because of hacked achievements. The person got an online achievement when offline, they got all achievements for several games on the same day, etc. If they are cheating in a game with a hacked Xbox and they get caught that is always a console ban for life. My son is mildly autistic (Asberger's) and he has more than enough knowledge to hack achievements if he wanted to. This boy is not retarded, the autism has nothing to do with it. It probably encouraged it because people with autism will almost obsess over a thing and put all their attention on it.

I'd agree I was still using my old Ultimate TV boxes just a couple years ago. I always found them superior to other DVRs I had tried.

MS has announced that releasing their own driver for the PC and Kinect in the future is likely.

Pay the kid more until the company realizes the absolute lack of experience means that new kid can't finish a project on time, can't accurately determine how much time something will take to get done, doesn't know anything about writing good documentation, using source control, testing, etc.

What are you talking about? There's tons of work in the US for C++ developers. My job right now for a large company has everything written in C++. C++ is everywhere in the controls and semiconductor industries too.

Fuck you dolphins! Fuck you whales!

Now the children will only here the word nigger 219 times in their favorite rap song.

I want to see some Rock Band 3 Pink Floyd DLC! I still have the 9 CD box set for Pink Floyd. I would love to have some tracks in Rock Band.

Cityville is like crack. I played it for a couple days and can see the appeal. It's a social Simcity. You can also send gifts and invites directly to your Farmville neighbors in Cityville so it quickly converted millions of FV players to CV players.

I'd probably still take my DS on a long work trip but most of the time if I'm going to play a quick game it's on my phone. Angry Birds will probably keep me busy for a long time.

Very true wyvern. Even on isolated systems there's always a laptop used for configuring the PLCs, uploading code, etc (and usually Windows XP in my experience). Also the chance they would be running WinCC on a non-Siemens PLC isn't that likely. Every PLC maker has their own SCADA software.

Of course but unfortunately Windows is everywhere in industrial systems. To truly be isolated they should be running dedicated HMIs connected to the PLC with no computer at all. But modern automated facilities want to be able to monitor everything from a SECS/GEM host, be able to remotely look and control HMIs, etc. I bet the companies that spent extra for Rockwell Automation PLCs over Siemens are happy with there choice now. How idiot to hard code a password like that. Not sure why we need legislation for this though.
