...But ALL of my blisters are from the directional pad, not the joystick. It comes from doing the motion for a hadoken (fireball; down-down/forward-forward) over many, many times.
I find it strange that the article seems to state that the thumb, where I get blisters, has no protection. "Customers report having to use the palms..." therefore Nintendo pads the palms, but not the thumb, which is the original source of the problem?
These things are often announced only to be forgotten. This announcement has even appeared here on slashdot in the past.
Anything that can hold a few gigs of mp3s or a cdr of mp3s would be nice to see on the market, but I'd rather see the rumored attachment to the palmtops (a Palm VIII variant if I recall correctly) that would allow mp3 play... remember that Palm Pilots can go online, so you'd be able to stream from your home computer and its limitless storage.
Here at Northeastern (where napster was created), we had to petition to get the ICQ ports opened. I have to tunnel (via SSH) to check my non-university POP accounts. Oh, and games seem fully blocked so that we can't play them except with each other.
They are considering blocking Napster, which would be the one thing I'd approve of - it eats more bandwidth than games would. Those of us who _really_ want mp3s will use alternate methods, such as hotline or carracho, ftp, or http. There are no restrictions on the Network Neighborhood, and now that ICQ is open, I do a lot of file transfers over that. There are a few proxy servers out there, and some game servers with different port addresses - find them or make your own.
...at the same time, I can get a free copy of ms office 98, norton antivirus, adobe photoshop, and countless other useful programs from our Department of Academic Comupting! Clearly, this is a bandwidth issue.

I get blisters after about five to ten MINUTES of playing Super Street Fighter 2 on my SNES

i get blisters but only from games like Street Fighter 2
How about using DeCSS for Linux drivers on DVD players? Any universities with enough guts?

could somebody mirror the big 48MB file? the site is so busy that I can't access it - and it's 1:30am!
