Which, BTW, is roughly analogous to the pocket communicators on the original series of "Star Trek", except that they couldn't watch shows or take video/pictures or blog or play solitaire on them.
Well, plus your phone won't work on the moon, or Mars, or Ceti Alpha V, unless you go there first and set up some cell towers, etc.
Most people grow out of finding tons of gratuitous blood "cool" when they're about 17.
Most of these games are 15-year-old boy games, not "mature" or "adult" games. (Not even going with the "adult = pr0n" thing there, since really porn is pretty immature too.)
So supernovae can stop black holes, but we also know from documented evidence that black holes can stop a supernova, even one that threatens the entire galaxy.
While I'm sure Mr. Bear will take your criticism to heart, he will at least be able to comfort himself with the huge sacks of cash he will be making from this venture.
(I'm not saying this as more criticism -- I'd probably do the same in his position.)
I heard about one of this guy's games well over a decade ago when it was reviewed in Computer Gaming World (remember magazines? They used to make them out of dead trees).
I guess I missed the part where a game only counts if Slashdot user #520358 has heard of it.
Oh, I'm not trying to let Verizon off the hook. I logged into my Verizon account and tried to find information about this and couldn't, and eventually realized that it's not about them. I don't have a Verizon Wireless cell phone, so I only have to worry about every other telecom company selling my information, not VW.:)
You must have started playing games within the last 10-12 years or so, if the only manuals you remember are "total crap" and "minimally useful". It wasn't always that way. Take an old Microprose game, for example -- now those were manuals.
I've been in the moon rock vault at NASA in Houston. Along with rocks, they have a sample of "moon concrete" that someone (on Earth) made out of real moon rocks many years ago, presumably also for future moon colony building.
Between concrete and bricks, apparently our future moon colonies are going to look like Soviet-era eastern Europe.
The trick, according to GDI, is its 'unique technology' that 'lets you start playing before the game has finished downloading, meaning you can be up and running, jumping and fragging in minutes rather than hours.'
Interesting, but we need both sides of the story: what does NOD think?

Actually I think they're mostly Democrats...
Oh wait, I'm thinking of lawyers, not cockroaches. Easy to get them confused!
gah!
the lhc accelerates the protons and the lead, and the things that it discovers will rock you in the head

The best part of this article is the tag "!newsfornerds".
I grew up on a Epson Equity too. (I think we had the "I+", not just the "I". Maybe the "+" was that it came with a hard drive? 20 megabytes, bitches.)
My parents sold it when we got a new 386, though, so no chance of digging it out of their basement for me.
I wish you luck. As others have said, the Epson site still has the manuals, which I've found on other occasions.

As Steve Miller says: "Some people call me Maurice."
No, wait, wrong quote.

Believe it or not, the also push OO COBOL.
Presumably that's called ADD 1 TO COBOL?
The irony is that a song called "Ironic" is not ironic.
But wait, that would mean the song is ironic after all. Which of course means that it isn't.
This will make DNS completely useless, but I suppose Google has pretty much made DNS irrelevant anyway.

There should be a "would have gotten a 5 digit UID if he'd signed up like a month earlier".
Also should be a "banned from modding" achievement, since I am apparently that, not having gotten mod points for about 5-6 years now.

This is not about Verizon. It is about Verizon Wireless, which is a completely separate company (half owned by Verizon and half owned by Vodafone).

The Wii is the most popular console, of course, and has built-in wifi.
...you are guessing that iTunes is Windows-only? Just to be clear, we're talking about the iTunes from Apple, not some other iTunes? ;)
Netflix is not Windows-only either, btw. I don't know about Hulu.
Being US-only is a concern though.
I agree Silverlight is probably better than Flash, but that's setting a rather low bar.
I expect follow-up rulings on the religious beliefs of the Pope, and the bathroom habits of bears.

It's 2008, not 1998; aren't we done with "cyber" yet?
