Midway have announced their decision to terminate the employment of about 80 people at their Austin studio. This decision, they say, was difficult but is necessary to ensure the continued success and health of the company overall. The Austin studio will not close, despite the huge reduction in headcount, but will rather contribute to future Midway projects as well as continue to serve as their Cen

The way I see it, it is a bad publicity for MAS as it goes to show how petty and small minded people you guys are at MAS.

There is 3D evidence that babies feel pain and gruesome stories from medics of what it is actually like to pull a 24 week baby out of a mother's womb and kill it – and yet still Gordon Brown, refused to support a reduction in the age limit of abortions and now gloats over the failure of the amendment to bring the limit down. Why? Because he is a 1970's socialist and the absolute mantra for a com

If you recall rapper The Game is releasing his "Los Angeles Times" on June 24 as well. 50 Cent is trying to make a spectacle with this the way he did with Kanye West. 50's ultimate wish is to see Game pushed back but if he is not and outsells 50, 50 will eat his own words once again.

Symons will not seek the permanent position.... This from the Washington Post.

Clint Eastwood, former Mayor of Carmel, California, got a day that he wasn't expecting to pan out the way it did. Arnold Schwarzenegger had decided that his actor pal and mentor could be replaced on the State Parks Commission. All because Clint is against a plan to build the Foothill South toll road through San Onofre State Beach, a park in Orange County that is popular for its surfing and scenery. The project was defeated by the California Coastal Commission in February.Arnie may think a six-lane highway will help global warming, but I would have thought that Eastwood had more in the way of local support. But if you've got opposition, why not "terminate" them? Eastwood seems more bemused than annoyed. "I think it was just somebody got a bee under their bonnet at the right moment, so there

Iron pumping muscle man Arnold Schwarzenegger applies leverage in making the environment cool and mainstream. He's passionate about it and he senses that a tipping point is near for positive change. I don't know how well he is walking his green talk. He may well be a hypocritical populist Hummer driving McMansion republican, but who gives a damn as long as he is applying the leverage and momentum in the right direction.
I really interested in what it would be? And how it would be implemented?This is what they say:"Java developers who work with physical quantities (such as developers in the scientific, engineering, medical, and manufacturing domains) need to be able to handle measurements of these quantities in their programs. Inadequate models of physical measurements can lead to significant programmaticerrors. In particular, the practice of modeling a measure as a simple number with no regard to the units it represents creates fragile code. Another developer or another part of the code may misinterpret the number as representing a different unit of measurement. For example, it may be unclear whether a person's weight is expressed in pounds, kilograms, or stones.Developers must either use inadequate models of measurements, or must create their own solutions. A common solution can be safer and can save development time for domain-specific work. This JSR proposes to establish safe and useful methods fo
CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Sky terminated the contract of guard Deanna Jackson on Wednesday, one month after she hit an opposing player in a parking lot after Israel’s national league title game.
Jackson, who spent the offseason playing for Israeli team Anda Ramat Hasharon, was placed on indefinite suspension by the Sky following her arrest on April 24 for assaulting Elitzur Ramle guard Ina Gourevitch in a Jerusalem parking lot after an 81-68 loss in the championship game.
