I think this is a really stupid move on the part of News Corp, now they're just gonna deprive themselves of the advertising revenue that Cablevision customers brought to Hulu. Meanwhile, torrents still exist, and the downloaded shows tend to have the ads cut out...
What I'm most surprised about is that no one has developed a gyro/motion sensor that would fit into the advance cartridge slot to make games more Wii like.
Oh but they have... http://nintendo.joystiq.com/2006/12/06/third-party-card-brings-motion-sensing-to-the-ds/ This was a third-party accessory, and because of this only homebrew could take advantage of it. It's not mentioned in the article, but there were versions for both Slot1 and Slot2. There were several homebrew games written that took advantage of this. It seems like the company that made this went out of business unfortunately.
Of the $13.8 billion that Americans contributed to Mexican drug traffickers in 2004-05, about 62 percent, or $8.6 billion, comes from marijuana consumption.
So according to the article it's 62%, not 75%. Of course, 47.3% of statistics are made up on the spot.
I highly doubt anyone besides the drug pushers themselves knows exactly what the real percentage of profits from cannabis is, but there's no doubt it's significant, being the most popular illegal drug in the United States by far.
If you are seriously addicted to drugs (especially opiates), the best cure is not more more of the drug, but ibogaine (which ironically is itself Schedule 1).
Except that most of the profits (thought to be more than 75%) that the drug cartels make are not from narcotics, but from cannabis. The only real way to seriously cripple the Mexican drug cartels and minimize the violence is to completely legalize cannabis (better yet, all soft, nonaddictive drugs) in the United States (where the vast majority of their market is in), and let the legal, taxed, free market steal the cartels' business. After all, what stoner would want to buy crappy Mexican schwag from shady dealers when he can get high-quality product from the local coffeeshop, or just grow it in his back yard?
Apple will probably just throw the CD in with the computer sale, they are not required to install it but to at least give the customer a CD. Sure, the software will be unusable in Mac OS X but that way they're compliant with the law. Actually I'm surprised Sony started installing it, not just diving the customer a CD.
T-Mobile in the USA does just this with their Hotspot@Home service. You need to have a compatible handset with WiFi. The service costs about $10 a month and lets you make unlimited calls while you are on your WiFi network or T-mobile's WiFi hotspots in coffeeshops and such.
Except the Pre is a CDMA phone, and therefore is not unlockable. There is no SIM card, and I doubt Sprint would activate the phone for you if you somehow managed to obtain a Pre without buying it from them.
Metroid games have always been action-adventure, it was never meant to be a fragfest like you obviously wanted. If Nintendo turned Metroid into a generic FPS there would be a whole lot of pissed people. The reason Metroid Prime and its successors are so critically acclaimed is because Retro Studios managed to take the formula of the old 2D platformer-adventure games and apply it to a 3D world quite successfully. Go ahead, download a SNES emulator and a ROM of Super Metroid and you'll see that it plays out basically in the same way as the 3D games. The Prime games were never meant to compete with all the FPSes out there. However, Metroid Prime Hunters on the DS was more of a traditional FPS like Halo or Quake. It's not a terrible game but it is generally considered inferior to the Prime trilogy on the Gamecube and Wii. I personally hated that game, even though I love me a good FPS. That game just doesn't have that Metroid formula that the other games have, so I was disappointed by it. Although if all you've ever played was Halo you might like Hunters quite a lot.
Here's how you get rid of a teacher: make their life miserable. My IT teacher quit his job, and here's how the school board bastards got rid of him:
He was teaching his Security class, showing us how to use BackTrack, Wireshark, Nmap etc... He has been teaching this class for years. His superiors recently decided that they don't want him around anymore, so they started complaining to the school board that he is teaching students "hacking" and they will all become criminals, etc. They would make up new lies about him every week. They even threatened to call the police so he would stop teaching kids "how to commit crimes". So he decided one day that he's had enough and would quit. Interestingly, once he submitted his resignation letter all his problems went away. All the treats stopped. The school would pay his salary until the end of the school year and then he would leave. So for the rest of the semester we would just waste time and played video games in class instead of learning, because he couldn't teach the class anymore.
So there went one of my favorite teachers. Most of the teachers in my high school were incompetent fools who have never deserved their jobs, but they all stayed. None of them were fired. I feel like I was denied an education.
NOOOOOOO!!!! Alice was the worst software I was ever forced to use. I hated my programming class during that period. The class got a lot better when we started learning Java, but I would recommend Python to any beginning programmer. However I don't think it's such a great idea to be forcing all students to take a programming class, I think a keyboarding/office class and basic network security would be a lot more useful for the majority of students.

So THAT'S why Maggie Simpson is always a baby! Even when they show the Simpsons in the future!

iPhones have had remote wipe for a year now, since the 2.0 update.
OK, thanks for clearing that up.

Would you like some cheese with that whine?
I'd pay $500 at the very least for a copy of Virtua Fighter 5R or a sequel to Chrono Trigger.
So, will you buy Chrono Cross from me for $500?
NOOOOOOO!!!!
