I tried for four days to get Ubuntu working on an old P3 1ghz I had lying around.
I have a Radeon 9700 graphics card and couldn't get the drivers to install. I went to ATI's site got the drivers and installed them. I ended up having to reinstall Unbuntu because it booted up saying there was something wrong with the drivers and I could only run in low graphics mode.
I then tried Envyng, it told me that one ATI driver was compatible and 3 Nvidia drivers were compatible?? I chose the ATI one and I got the same error when I rebooted.
It's to damn slow with out the proper drivers. So I give up, I'm going back to XP.
I agree. I haven't even looked into blue-ray bc it's way to expensive. I've used dvds for years and i'm happy to keep using dvd until blue-ray comes down in price. DRM is a big problem too.
Why not go after the people buying these botnets? Or using them. Meaning the people selling stuff. The ads right there. I know who's trying to sell me something. Go after them for using a botnet to sell their product.
I see this a lot in articles like this. It's like they're saying "Don't worry there's no life anywhere out there."
I can't wait for the day when they finally find something.
The lawsuit says "the wrist strap broke and caused the remote to leave the user's hand" which makes no sense: how can the wrist strap breaking cause the remote to leave the user's hand? The wrist strap isn't what's holding the remote in the user's hand in the first place. Nintendo was hoping people's opposable thumbs would be holding the remote in their hands, but apparently some people are utterly retarded and think it's okay to throw the remote at their TV. I bet these are the same people that throw their regular TV remotes at the TV to turn the TV off. If this lawsuit even goes to court, I am going to throw my TV remote at my TV and sue the TV manufacturer for not teaching me that the remote should not be thrown at the TV to operate.
The only thing Nintendo is guilty of is not realizing the full potential for American stupidity.
I don't even understand how the remote could possibly fly out of someone's hand. I never even had a single case where it came even remotely close to leaving my hand. Do these people put astroglide on their hands before playing? Are they eating greasy chicken legs with their bare hands while playing?

I still canceled my account. I don't like the way they do things anyway.
That is exactly what I thought when I read this article.
Never!
Yeah I just put a sticker on mine and hide in a corner. j/k No I really don't pay attention to the looks.
