And quite apart from that he ported an old game to a new platform.
I.e - not only are there not many people who own the platform, the vast majority are switching from the other popular platforms where, if they wanted your game, they could ALREADY have bought it.
"The point is, Obama does not have a strong mandate and would do well to incorporate some of the moderate and conservative fiscal ideas into his policies going forward."
Well he has of course, by the standards of virtually the entire rest of the world, Obama is, at the absolute best, centre right. He's more right wing than virtually every world leader.
The french law is interesting because it technically demands 2 breathalysers.
Because if you ever actually use it to check yourself then you just used it and can't drive because while you are legal, your car of course is now not.
It's very dangerous to rebrand because of how much you lose vs how much you gain. IBM makes bugger all money from "International Business Machines" these days but they wouldn't want to lose a brand everyone knows. Same for "Carphone Warehouse" in the UK, they don't want to lose the recognition despite the fact no-one has called a cell/mobile phone a car phone in 2 decades.
And Microsoft's stuff certainly isn't small. (*sidesteps hook*)
So despite the lack of "Radio" as their main business, they should REALLY look and see if the number of people who say "I don't need a radio I won't go there" might be outnumbered by the people who will end up saying "What the f is "The Shack"?". It sounds like somewhere you'd buy a very dodgy Hawaiian style shirt.
Exactly, I stopped looking at their stuff for the same reason I stopped looking at EAs and for the same reason I buy very few PC games that aren't £10 or from gog.com. It's a f'ing hassle to get legal copies running.
Or in the case of Slitherlink, and the other excellent games they NEVER F'ING RELEASE in Europe, given the choice between not playing a game and playing a game...
Competition. The people wanting the plumbers jobs don't have degrees. Since most people wanting computing jobs have a qualification, companies are safe in insisting on them.
He got lucky 20 years ago when you could knock up a game with a bit of assembler, some home made graphics and the odd bleep, but things have moved on a little since then. He hasn't.
Plus he's releasing the damn thing on XBLA arcade, where half the point is to have not moved on!
I don't want blu-ray. I don't expect it to survive and I have better ways of playing HD movies.
I want a games machine.
Your arguement is roughly the same as telling an office computer user choosing between Linux and Windows that he's obviously be an idiot not to pay the extra $149 to play Windows only games.

So if they're blocking it might be pure DNS since I use OpenDNS.

That's the one :)
VW/Audi/Porsche/Skoda/SEAT/Lamborgini/Bugatti you mean.
And frankly I think I'm forgetting at least one.

Oh that's what it is, I thought it was a service that delivered you a popular 80s console by 9am...

The above post is complete fiction unless the US retail price is $40US.
Nah, you're not technically linking to the article until someone reads it so we're fine.
Or more accurately, one of them is. Rob Grant is still not involved.

I think this needs a Terry Pratchett quote.

Not to mention he thinks the entire cost is Hard Disk. And that creating, maintaining, storing, replacing broken etc all come for absolutely free.
They account for very roughly half the UK's mobiles.
Actually I pay to use this site. As do many others.

The Islamic countries that have been bombed by the US and UK just so Bush and Blair didn't look like total fuckwits might disagree with you.
Except that the lack of units sold will lead to the cancellation or format shifting of other projects, leading to a sparse library in 18 months too.
The amusing part is this comes from a group that was actively excited about paying $15 a month in power to let their PS3 do maths constantly.

You're joking of course.

Well an actually limited edition elite would be kinda cool. Now it's just an expensive version of same.
