In what appears like a twisted love triangle ending in a bloodbath, ConjuctionThan murdered AdverbThen out of pure jealousy.
Both long-time residents of the English Language neighborhood - though they are not living on the same street - Than and Then were caught fighting in front of Then's house. Witnesses heard murderer Than screaming and sobbing at Then: "You're a fraud! I'm so much more adequate, so much more fitting than you! I can't believe he would choose you over and over again! And I just can't stand seeing you with him all the time! Argh!!!" Four gunshots were then heard.
Apparently, the two belligerants were fighting over the love of a certain CmdrTaco, whom never hid his preference for Then. When asked about the tragedy, CmdrTaco swore to the investigators that he had no recollection whatsoever of Than.
If you haven't already done so, I suggest you invest in Musicmatch Jukebox and a fast CD/DVD-ROM drive like this Sony. It encodes at speeds up to 20x on a Duron 850 - a regular CD is mp3-fied in 3 minutes.
With software developers becoming more and more polygamous (ex: Squaresoft will develop games for the PS2, Xbox and maybe the Gamecube), yes, there is a market for more than one or two consoles, as there is a market for many PC manufacturers.
Consumers will choose their console based on criteria other than software (looks, brand name, controllers, extra features, etc.) as they do for PC's.
It was a joke, smartie. Radio Shack was never a reference in late-breaking technology, so I thought it would make for a wise-ass remark (which actually turned out to be lame and plain wrong).
Cool, now let's turn./ in a spanish-only site. My guess is that a few million users wouldn't be so prompt to celebrate pluralism.
The U.S. would kill to keep english safe.
Quebec imposes fines to have french coexist with english.
(BTW, I don't speak for my employer and its bilingual website, funded by americans, located in Montréal)
This shakespearian monkey proposition has been refuted by quite a few mathematicians dealing with random numbers.
Sure, the possibility is there, but not on a "Universal" scale. Think of it: mathematically, someone who buys one lottery ticket per week can win the jackpot 100 weeks in a row. It is "possible". The thing is, it won't ever happen.
So the sole question is: are we the result of an incredible stroke of luck? It may very well be. (There was an earlier story on/. about this)
The most expensive console today costs 300$...and historically, no console has ever sold for much more, save the NeoGeo, at launch.
Unless you consider a Palm Pilot to be an "entry-level PC" (in which you couldn't fit a +300$ GeForce 2 Ultra, by the way), your argument is bogus, sorry.
Next month, I'll be handing out the bank the final monthly payment for my flashy new P200MMX... you should check those beasts out; they can do great stuff. Mine can play the whole Weezer video on the Win95 CDROM, without missing a beat. Seems like I'll need one of those 1ghz machines in about 10 years.

The media *define* what we think about.
I don't think every occidental is a Homer Simpson, really.
This story reminds me of a famous Alfred Hitchcock quote:
"The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder"
Replace "length of a film" with "quantity of information" and "bladder" with "brain".
Quite simply, all the baloney gets discarded by the human brain, in the same way a 48-hour movie would be fled by hordes of movie-goers. There is your Regulon. If information is not received by a brain, it does not exist -- it is killed.
Thus, physicists and biologists have no use in this debate. It concerns the media people themselves -- and it gives semioticians some research material.

Common sense would never dictate something like this.
But plain old snobism would.
Pay a visit to www.hmv.com for proof. They're actually more expensive than in-store.

Or an Intel/AMD CPU without a fan.
It's much more like buying a new house without furniture, which is a given.
Thus you're allowed a few moments to scream in the empty rooms and hear the echo coming back at you :
"Fuck off, Gates." (bis)
