    Is Nintendo doomed?

    They don't need to sell games at $40. They can do it at $10 and make good money. Give them their own Nintendo category. This is about volume, not per unit price. And distribution costs would undoubtedly be cheaper. There are hundreds of millions of iPhones. Many times the number of 3DS. And...

    Is Nintendo doomed?

    Am I the only person that thinks Apple should buy Nintendo and make the next Apple TV the exclusive home of Nintendo home console content? And the iPhone, perhaps with a first party controller attachment, the exclusive home of Nintendo portable content? Can you imagine the stir that...

    Resolving IP through media exchange

    Are you saying you want to get their IP by making a connection to their computer? You might be able to send them a file and get it done, but you'd have to find a program that doesn't send the contents of the file through the messaging networks servers. Even if you got their IP, what are you...

    Wyden: If Senate tries to renew NSA spying authority, I’ll filibuster

    This was so good I had to quote it. Thumbs up aren't good enough. If I had a spare internets, I'd award it to you.

    Wyden: If Senate tries to renew NSA spying authority, I’ll filibuster

    What a horrible waste of resources, hey? That money could of been used to fix the US's infrastructure, or provide better services. Instead it goes into the defense/intelligence machine. Just like so many other wasted dollars.

    Climate change a “hoax,” says key business advisor to Aussie prime minister

    US coal exports are booming. Apparently it isn't working.

    Climate change a “hoax,” says key business advisor to Aussie prime minister

    We can play that game. Computers have toxic substances in them, and their creation is of course damaging to the environment. Lets have a tax on it. Why just a carbon tax? Why not many environmental taxes covering all possible environmental damage? And who is in command of determining the...

    Move over, Raspberry Pi. This startup is building a $9 computer

    Some of those votes might have nothing to do with what I said there, and more to do with all the other stuff I've said on other threads. I'm one of those racist, sexist bigots arsians love to hate. At least those are the terms that often come my way around here. If people want to preorder let...

    Climate change a “hoax,” says key business advisor to Aussie prime minister

    I think you're talking about: http://www.csmonitor.com/Environment/En ... ping-block This is about financing for overseas coal projects, not the exports themselves. All I read says that US coal exports to Asia are booming. Could you clarify whether the subject of the above article is what...

    Climate change a “hoax,” says key business advisor to Aussie prime minister

    It doesn't justify the problem. I never said that. It is simply a fact that none of these countries can act alone and solve the problem. They should act together. That's all I'm saying. Any solution will require international cooperation to ensure not only fairness, but effectiveness.

    Wyden: If Senate tries to renew NSA spying authority, I’ll filibuster

    Even if the law changed would the NSA stop? They spent all that money on the Utah Data Center.

    Climate change a “hoax,” says key business advisor to Aussie prime minister

    The technology to replace fossil fuels entirely isn't there either. So why not work on perfecting carbon capture while we work on alternatives? The very article you posted ends with: While environmentalists seek the end of coal, Akins says that’s just not feasible. “In order to continue feeding...

    Climate change a “hoax,” says key business advisor to Aussie prime minister

    You don't need to use larger font, but I find it quite an incredible claim; coal is very energy dense. Maybe a link to back it up? If the US and China can get to the same place by different methods, Australia should follow those methods. A Carbon tax would hurt average Australians. Don't get me...

    A good place to start as a noob.

    I'd say pick yourself up a copy of Head First Programming. Head First books might seem a little patronizing at times, but they repeat information in different ways to try and make sure it gets through.

    Climate change a “hoax,” says key business advisor to Aussie prime minister

    Yes, there are some exemptions for necessities in those taxes, but you can't honestly tell me that the average Australian wasn't burdened by the GST.

    Climate change a “hoax,” says key business advisor to Aussie prime minister

    Seriously? Leave it in the ground? I can't imagine that happening. Power plants should work on carbon capture and storage instead. Doesn't that solve both problems by allowing us to reap the rewards of our natural resources, whilst cutting down on C02 emissions? The growing population of the...

    Climate change a “hoax,” says key business advisor to Aussie prime minister

    What do you think? We can't pay for as much as we did before and we adjust to the new reality. Are you saying we should just leave our resources in the ground? Are you afraid of global warming raising the sea level and flooding the coasts because of coal we mine and export? I'm not sure what...

    Climate change a “hoax,” says key business advisor to Aussie prime minister

    Queensland is a great state. Queenslanders say "bevan" not "bogan". I suppose I must of grown up in a bev town. I know the difference between the mining tax and the carbon tax. I liked the mining tax! And I said pretty much the same thing as you did about our natural resources. The problem...
