The XBox version of the game also has more censored profanity and other gross little things. In the end, the N64 version was more adult-rated than the XBox version.
This was a pretty rare thing because usually Nintendo has the tightest censorship issues, and the lack of censorship is in part what has sold so many XBoxes.
Yeah, you see a kiosk for Guitar Hero in a store. You see somebody playing a half-scale plastic toy guitar. You think about how stupid they look playing it. Then you pick it up just to see what's so popular. You feel stupid wearing the thing, but give it a try anyway. Then you play through Symphony of Destruction, and don't care how stupid you look because that was the most kickass thing you have ever seen in a video game.
Yeah, I was sold after one song after playing the demo.
"Their current standing offer is $900 Million, with the deal including a degree of autonomy for the site and founder Mark Zuckerberg still in charge."
He could be paid a batshit fucking insane amount of money to continue to be in charge of Facebook, meaning that he'll still have a say in the direction that it goes. I am interested, however, in how Yahoo would change it if they bought it, and if they'd tie it to existing Yahoo user accounts or turn it into another MySpace.
I don't mind who owns Facebook, but if it turns into MySpace (where people can customize their page layout) then I'll quit using it. Having two songs and a movie file playing AT THE SAME TIME while having text that perfectly blends in with an excessively busy fixed background is something up with which I will not put.
Please explain to me how you deduced that? Oh wait, doesn't matter, you're "obviously" wrong. In fact, my wife agrees that an active interest in porn is a healthy thing.
The fact that it was even divided into three books was against Tolkien's will. He wanted the whole thing to be one huge book but the publisher talked him into dividing it into thirds since one huge book is quite a beast to tackle.
First of all, The Hobbit is technically not a sequel or a prequel to LotR, but rather an older story from which LotR later grew.
Second of all, you are tired of Hollywood sequels, which I agree with completely. Contrived sequels are rarely better than the original, and are in fact just a way to milk a name that sells for more money.
What we're talking about in the case of The Hobbit is not a Hollywood attempt to make money. (Well, okay, maybe we are.)
But anyway, they aren't slapping together a story to milk as much as they can from the popularity of LotR. This is a book that was written more than half a century ago, and I think as a film it would set the stage for the LotR movies nicely.
But like I say, The Hobbit won't be the generic cash-in that you appear to be tired of.
"...attracted the attention of influential people like Bill Gates, who may be planning his own video hosting service."
Once again... WHY does Microsoft have to copy perfectly good stuff that's already out there??
I'm sure they'll continue to teach MIPS assembly for many years to come simply because it's the easiest to teach and learn. SGI's dropping of MIPS won't matter since every computer-organization student is emulating it with SPIM on more common architectures, anyway.

Go U of A!

...there's no such thing as an addiction to the internet. At least no more than you would call our dependency on oxygen to be an addiction.
Just without moving parts.
Well of course it's cluttered, that frog icon is way too huge for such a tiny screen res.
Count on there being several Mario Party games for the Wii.
All those jobs are created because there will be a need for tech support when Vista starts breaking all over the place.
As a tech/sysadmin, I like the fact that Windows breaks so much. It gives me job security.
I mean, didn't Red Vs. Blue already capture everything that was worthwhile about Halo on film?
Hooray for outsourcing!

If you're married and have a need for porn (and must hide it), then is it a marriage that would last otherwise?
I mean, by definition, a PC could be a Win/Lin machine, a Mac or an Xbox.
Why do they call it "Second Life" if it's for MMO people who don't even have a primary life?

Now all you Sony fanboys that pan Nintendo for rereleasing the same old games will stop talking!
I'd just buy a gigabit-capable mobo.
