$40 for the CPU, $80 (!) for the GPU, $20 for the DVD... if you _really_ google, you'll find those numbers. Those are royalty based and _not_ coming down when production gets cheaper as the manufacturing does for the PS2 and Gamecube.
Mod the Xbox, then switch to 480p, 720p, 1080i - what you fancy. The Xbox hardware has no problems playing DVDs in those resolutions (depending on which player you use)
Yes please - all my money is going to "al-Aqsa Spannmål" (local Palestinian help organisation recently claimed to fund terrorists by the US - without any shred of proof as usual) at the moment;)
It was a jab at americans:) If you ask me - the world would be better off if we paved the whole USA. The oil needed for the asphalt will of course be supplied by the US itself - they're quite good at getting it, no matter the civilian cost.

You must be american.
In the civilized world text messaging (SMS) and web-browsing on the phones that can handle it (Sony Ericsson P900 with Opera is one example) is used quite a lot - and works splendidly.
The cameras in the phones will soon rival cheap digital cameras - and no - people don't want to carry two devices when they can carry one.
To date, more than 100 companies worldwide have received software development kits and are planning games for Nintendo DS, which for the first time offers gamers two separate perspectives on the action. Companies include THQ, Electronic Arts, Activision, Atari, Ubisoft, Majesco, Capcom, Sega, Konami, Hudson Soft, Namco, Bandai, Koei and Square Enix, to name a few.
keep in mind that the "angry at the US" people are a very small subset of the population
No - most definitely not. It's actually getting hard to find _anyone_ who likes the current US administration in European countries.
I think Bush giving illegally occupied land to the Israeli flipped the switch among those who hadn't decided yet. Now it's all "Shut up americans - we don't like you".
As the other reply states, it would take ages to explain all the differences.
In short, I'm taxed 38% (I think it is) on my income. Cost of living... I have a central apartment, 87 square meters, in Sweden's third biggest city. I have a nice car, garage, all the usual high tech gadgets (or maybe more..) I usually use up about 3/4 of my monthly salary on bills - but then some of that is due to my fiancé still being in school so she's not bringing in very much.
What I get.. last autumn I got back problems, slipped discs. I've been home from 50-100% of the time since then, but the social insurancy system paid me something like half my usual salary, and the company's insurancy made up for the rest up to 80-90% something.
I also never pay more then $120 in total to see a doctor an unlimited times per year - and something like a maximum of $160 on medicine. Taxes go to paying for the ones who need more than that per year.
A work week is EXTREMELY seldom more than 40h, even though I work as a consultant. If I work more, I get paid from 1.5 to 2.5 times my normal salary, or I get more days off after the bulk of overtime was needed.... oh.. I pay around $1.4 per litre of gas for the car;) That's quite a lot per gallon...
I've done some additional things but they're only used by me and a small group of friends. No major things, but removed stupid hardcoded limits like 256 chars in a message (now unlimited) etc.
I must confess, the WASTE sourcecode is terrible. It's like someone who's never EVER read anything about object orientation tried to write his first C++ program
I haven't put up the changes on sourceforge, mostly since no one seems to care.
... Rare was kicked out due to not bringing in the cash. I have no idea on the others though - though Silicon Knights are listed as presenting a Gamecube title at E3 with Nintendo as publisher according to IGN's E3 list.
Nintendo have stated (quite recently) that they're not getting out of the hardware business.
It becomes a lot more interesting since logging is now off by default in ICQ. Are users still supposed to know whether the party on the other side is using one or the other version?

they're down to a mere 200 million years to go from single-celled to upright and walking.
No.
Why post about something you clearly have no interest in understanding?
_All life_ didn't die out 250M years ago. All the _evolution_ done up until then lived on.
There's no need to prove creationists wrong. We just shake our heads and laugh - they'll never amount to much anyway outside the US.
It's always been able to play the .vobs - but it doesn't do menues.

Amen. I can stop almost half of my migraines with coffee.
The rest needs Imigran (Swedish name, dunno what that might be elsewhere) - excellent drug. Makes me feel twice as awake and really sharp aswell.
Can you still get a replacement today?
How about in 20 years?
... which also means that you're just one of the standard US racists who think everyone else is too ;)
Yes please - all my money is going to "al-Aqsa Spannmål" (local Palestinian help organisation recently claimed to fund terrorists by the US - without any shred of proof as usual) at the moment ;)
Easy - I'll just explain how I agree that the US needs to get the FUCK OUT of other countries.
You know - the same view that the rest of the civilized world holds.
You keep saying that, as if it'd somehow make me less serious about my views :)

We have the same thing in Sweden - and that tax will INCREASE when we get the European DMCA (EUCD) equivalent next January.
They are.

Examples:

Moses didn't divide the Red Sea - he divided the Sea of Reeds.
Two mistranslations, amongst many.

I know. I live in Sweden and I belong to the "high income" citizens who pay extra taxes.
On the other hand, I get quite a lot for that money.
(I'm neo-liberal myself, so I have issues with a lot of things in Sweden. Compared to certain other countries it's a lot better though)
... and most interestingly - the Nordic countries are apparently the most modern ones all over the world.

On my system it stays within its 128Mb ram limit, and takes 1-5% CPU.
That's a P4 3.2GHz with 1Gb ram though.

That person needs to play Metroid Zero Mission.
;)
(Everyone should btw, it's THAT good. Play it on a GC and GB Player on your big screen television instead of using that horrible GBA-thingie though
