  LAUSD Should Ask for Office Supplies

  on LA School District Reluctantly Gives Up The Grenade Launchers The Pentagon Gave Them
  Every year my son's teachers ask for classroom supplies so they do not need to buy out of their own pockets. Tissues and copy paper are always in short supply. Just today, I sent in some dry erase markers to one of the teachers.
  
  Sell that MRAP and buy all the teachers copy paper!!

  on Online Gaming Store Lowers Prices 75%, Sees Sales Shoot Up 5500%
  "Sales price has nothing to do with value."
  
  the actual sale price is very tied into the value.
  
  from merriam-webster online
  
  value = the monetary worth of something : market price

  "Is that what the CEO means when he says price is marketing?"
  
  That is exactly the way I understood it.

  They could use blockbusters to subsidize flops.... but that would only work for developers with a large catalog. Smaller developers would have less pricing flexibility.

  Re: You don't think . . .

  on Online Gaming Store Lowers Prices 75%, Sees Sales Shoot Up 5500%
  I think so. If the games are left at the lower price point, the perception of value would most likely decrease.
  
  Also, what about titles that don't sell as well? These low sellers may require a higher price point to support their creation than a blockbuster.

  Were you trying to ironic? This topic focuses on George Lucas only. Kevin Smith is totally different subject.

  Straight to DVD typically means the movie sucked.
  
  Second time this week I am agreeing with TAM. It seems like TAM got a reputation and now when people see his posts they go WHARRGARBL, even if TAM is making valid points.

  Good Example?

  on CBC Gets Two Stories About George Lucas Totally Mixed Up
  Is this really the best example of the professional press making a mistake? I feel like TAM saying this; while a bit comical, this is not the smoking gun that proves that the CBC fails at fact checking.

  on Wait, Who Wants A Proprietary, Locked Down Device That Limits What You Can Do?
  the ipad may be locked down, but it will work. apparently people like that. nothing to think about. you don't need to understand the internals. just use it.
  
  look at the ipod touch. did anyone predict how well that thing would do when released? it sold like crazy over the holidays.
  
  i am not a fanboy either. my only apple product is a B&W ipod.

  Similar in MMORPG's? (as Mike Driscoll)

  on Yet Another Study Shows Txting Improves Kids' Spelling
  My eight year old doesn't txt but will play MMORPGs as much as he is allowed. A major component of the ones he plays is communicating with other players. I know he uses txt talk there however he seems to get the difference as his English grades are excellent.
