The 360 still has piracy, playing a burned game on a 360 is pretty simple if you know how. So the fact that Sony put more effort into combating it than Microsft is just stupid, it is what it is, they need to accept that there will be pirates, and just do what Microsoft does and Ban accounts.
Well if you are near-fit you should have no issues with it. I can see some folks scoffing at physical movement to play games, because it is too hard for them...it would be a wake up call saying "hey get the F in shape so you can play these new sweet interactive games".
From what I have been reading it seems like it is going to be very in depth. This isn't star wars...star wars is a bit more...like a love story with lots of lasers and drama in the mix. Aliens is Sci-fi horror with lots of background missing....so I'm not sure how you can even make a comparison. Alien actually has LOTS room for a prequel unlike Star Wars which already had a background storyline to it when they made A New Hope. Especially considering the prequel is set in the year 2085 (3 decades before Ellen Ripley)... the Star wars prequels didn't quite go that far back in time, they only told us what we already knew happened with annoying characters like jar jar and gay looking droids.
a quote from Wikipedia , "It will also focus on terraforming and Weyland Industries before its merger with the Yutani Corporation.[30] The films will explore the nature and origin of the unknown extraterrestrial race, who only had a brief appearance in the first Alien as the derelict spaceship's pilot."
After reading the link I now see the direction this film might be taking, finally there will be some answers as to what this Alien race is, and possibly where it originated from what I understand. They mention something from the first Alien movie regarding the possible genetic manipulated alien sitting in the chair-like thing and envisioning this Alien race... so there is no "knowing what will happen", we only know what happens in Alien..but HOW did that ship crash on that planet? Where did it come from? Who created those aliens?
The fact remains....this applies to DEMO's. What kind of idiot wouldent want the full version of a game they are hooked on? I play a demo, i think its great, i buy the game (i don't keep playing the demo while the game is already released because that would be considered borderline insane)
Why is it we cannot get a calendar right? The mayans were able to make a calendar that went to 2012 without skipping anything...and they only had rock and chisel. I think intelligence is on a downward spiral if people cant geit their shit in order.
So not true, probably applies to machines with less than 4gb of ram. I have 8gb of ram in my machine, i usual have around ~5gb free at all times. So this is total bullshit. No one should have less than 4gb in a new PC these days anyways. There's a lot of dumb folks out there who only have 1gb of ram and then they complain that their computer is so slow, when 1gb was the ideal amount 6-7 years ago, but this is 2010, ram is cheap, people gotta get with the program.
I should have worded it a bit differently, what i mean its more of a possibility that the key ingredients to form those essential building blocks for life, may have come from elsewhere in the solar system/galaxy. One thing we know is our planet gets showered with meteorites on almost a daily basis, most of which are just so small we cant see them.
Then again its know that earth used to have a sister and both collided to form our current earth, and the leftover debris is what formed our moon, its more possible that everything was on both these planets, just when they combined it created the right kind of "soup" to spawn life.
I think life came from space, and did not originate here on this planet.
I have just come to accept that there is more at play than any human can understand at the moment, and probably won't be understood for a very long time.
I also believe that all religions (in general) might have stemmed up from something else all together, someone passes a story on and changes it when he tells it to someone else, the process repeats itself until you have several different version of the same story (all religions have "a higher power" in common). Obviously something happened in human history that no one understood at all and that's where religion started, this is why i am not religious as i know its all baloney.
No one is an idiot for having their own concepts, without different concepts or theories, well we would be lost.
Of course, some pieces of earth would travel through space, extremophiles would remain alive on the pieces of rock, after all extremophiles are our most ancient ancestors.
Well the thought of the building blocks for life to have just "formed" on earth is too far fetched. This just helps solidify that earth was somehow seeded by meteorites long before life started and that is where life started up from i believe. It just makes more sense. Also once you do the math as to how many galaxies there are just in the visible portion of the sky, it just becomes even more realistic that we are not alone, but space is just so big that we pretty much are alone in our tiny sector of the Galaxy perhaps.
Its like living out in the boonies where everyone house would be separated by 5 miles with trees in the way, just because you can't see their house, doesn't mean its not there, but just out of sight.
Not really, it can't do everything that a netbook could do, as a netbook could do everything aside from playing 3d games.
After all windows is not locked the same way the ipad/iphone is.
When the Iphones came out, i wanted to get one but then i was looking at a Samsung omnia (windows mobile) and i noticed it supported divx and mp3, everything that windows supports. So that's why i ended up getting a Win Mobile 6.1 device, and i personally have not had any problems with it, i upgraded its SD chip to 16gb and well the best thing about a Omnia is you are NOT limited to how you wish to use it, Mass storage anyone? Can't do that with an Iphone/Ipad/Ipod Touch, those are under the iron grip of apple, they don't want you doing whatever you want on their devices.
To top it off i get to use Opera mobile browser 10, neener neener. Not safari,/vomit.
I should also note, that article is from 2003....so yeah there you have it.
I think we should boycott current 3DTV's and force the market to develop something that consumers really want.
Here is a link to the technology in action, sharp is already making notebooks with 3D Displays that require NO GLASSES. http://news.cnet.com/2100-1040-978499.html
Sorry but 3D shutter glasses have just become obsolete
I don't know about anyone else, but I do NOT want to wear any kind of glasses just to watch TV, especially shaded glasses. I would prefer to see them use existing technology to make 3DTV's that require no glasses at all.
I have a fine tuned vision that i am used to, why obstruct my vision with lame shutter glasses?
Actually your a tad wrong there, the Xbox360 can output full 1080p over its HD Component output's, you just need decent HDTV that supports 1080p over component (like sharp aquos). This is how i have my 360 setup as its a first gen.
Well with AI taking over the "ridiculously high paying jobs" that would balance things out a bit here in North America, it would be the end of the world for corporate fatcats. Something i actually look forward to

I like the idea of having a Castle law.

Anyone who falls for these scams is a retard pure and simple.

One solution would be to not use ancient operating systems that are 10 years old.

well upgrade to a version of windows that has less blue screen, 7 perhaps. or use Linux. Why use something that no longer has support.

I think a 24AWG cable has more than enough bandwidth...

Features like this should have been integrated into Linux and Windows years ago....if they cared enough to do it.
