Have you tried the Star Ocean series? It's almost what you're looking for there. They need to work a little on the cheese, but the gameplay is incredible.
I heard that their new anti-piracy is a non-bypassable boot video of Mr. T. saying: "I pity the fool who steals from Ubisoft! Copyright 2009, all rights reserved."
Why does someone always bring this up? It's a game, not a simulator!
If I wanted to learn how to play a guitar, then I'd pick up a guitar. I just want to have some fun with my friends playing a game that happens to include music we like.
Perhaps because there's a market out there that is interested in learning how to play the guitar and want a video game interface to learn how. Instead of colored buttons, why not display tabs on the screen? Sure, it would be difficult, but at least the game would add lasting value. Yes, people could learn the songs without the game, but at least the game could give you interactive feedback and piggyback on the fun interface of the current Rock Band/GH titles.
Give a 12 year old their first electric guitar and a copy of this game and let them learn! Not to mention, you wouldn't necessarily need to buy an amp right away.
I heard that they had originally mapped 100% of the Earth's surface, but once Chuck Norris found out that they were mapping his house, he went over to NASA and proceeded to roundhouse kick each scientist until they removed the entire state of Texas.
Don't kid yourself that any politician in the history of the US has ever thought (or will ever think) to themselves "well, I WANT to do X, but since the citizens have so many guns, maybe that wouldn't be a good idea."
Perhaps not in the positive light you're trying to shed. While a politician may not pursue justice for the sake of a well-armed constituency, seeds of corruption are sown in areas with high drug trafficking and gang violence [citation needed]. I'm sure that there are plenty of politicians who fear for their families, let alone their own lives, and by doing so fail to address the injustices that occur on a daily basis in those areas. Especially if their police department cannot provide them with the security they need.
What right has anybody to dictate contracts in that regard?
Why should somebody producing little traffic pay as much as somebody who produces a lot?
You dont pay your water bill by your pipe-diameter, or your electricity bill by your wire-gauge.
So why should you pay your internet becaue of the maximum throughput possible?
In many places, you are charged on your electric bill for demand. Take your peak usage across the utility's time interval, and you're charged on your bill to ensure that at any given point of time, the utility can provide you with that much electricity (even if you only hit that peak once). So, while you don't pay your electric bill by wire-gauge, you do pay by how much you may possibly use by your maximum usage.
Your risk goes up the greater you deviate from normal. Using your turn signal in Boston is therefore abnormal and increases your risk. Someone else will hit you not knowing what that blinky light is.
And yes I have driven in Boston. My sister lives there.
I sort of agree with this statement. Your risk may or may not go up, because you may be used to people using their turn signals and may not be prepared for someone to inadvertently cut you off. With that, I hope that your brake foot is faster than your finger.
Buying an eBook reader always seemed impractical to me when you have so many decent smartphones and PDA devices out on the market. Granted, an eBook reader has a larger screen and may be more comfortable to hold, but for the price tag, you could just purchase a better mobile phone and have more features ready at your fingertips. Not to mention the advantage of portability.
I used to get blisters and calluses from playing any Mega Man game in the franchise from 3 onward. Especially for Nintendo, the corners of the controllers would jab into the palms of my hands and the thumb soreness of having to hold down the button to charge your gun while jumping with the same finger.
What if we could just define which rendering engine to use in pages, e.g. IE7 or IE8 in a meta tag...
IE8 has a "Compatibility View" that allows the user to view pages that are not not standards compliant in IE. All would agree that IE should have been standards compliant from the beginning, but at least IE8 won't "break the Web," so to speak.
A human discovers them struggling in the trap and kills them. Not a popular option with many people, who frequently opt to throw the living rat in the garbage can (see #2 above.) If you find one, my best suggestion is to bash their skulls hard and quickly with a blunt instrument. Be decisive, don't just give them a bump on the head and expect them to die. A shovel or ice chopper works, too. Drowning is a very poor choice -- I still feel guilty about that one.:-(
Okay, I'm going to admit my ignorance in the hopes that someone else will learn. I've been a bit removed from Linux, so my question was going to be "Does Linux support the NTFS file system?" Because VMs running on FAT-based file systems suck. The last Linux-based OS I had used was Ubuntu 6.04 (Hardy Heron), which, to my knowledge didn't support NTFS.
Then, with 30 seconds of research, I came across NTFS-3G implementation.
All of that to say, I agree with the Windows VM idea. But Dell had better set up the VM, because most business people wouldn't have a clue.
A Microsoft study has shown that gamers seldom use all keyboard keys; and thus, Microsoft will release Windows 7 Gamers Edition, which will only support the following keys:
Too bad for you if you were a scalper planning on making some quick bucks. I bet we would've seen DTV converters selling like Wiis on eBay with 150%+ markups.
The Internet has officially been ruined. I thought AOL was bad. This is ridiculous. Now if only their was a way for us to senD Over a meSsage about how we feel...

Does every single feature in our web browsers have to have a social component now?
Only where social components make sense. NoScript is a tool that is useful for savvy people like ourselves. Its current model of whitelisting will never become widely accepted unless it becomes easier to use; namely, through whitelist suggestions. Social whitelisting becomes the next logical step, because people would generally not want one source dictating which sites are safe and which are not.

Saturn and Jupiter are the sweepers of the Solar system. They are big, so things hit them instead of us. Think of them as bodyguards... ^_^
I've nicknamed them Hans and Nitro.
Just like how China is waiting for the opportune time to cash in on USA's debt, Jupiter's waiting for the opportune time to enslave us.
Perhaps this is a Sackville-Baggins situation in the Tolkien household.
"Recovery.gov 2.0 will use innovative and interactive technologies to help taxpayers see where their dollars are being spent,"
Sounds pretty vague. Perhaps they're looking to design their site like Zombo.com. A most innovative way to spend $18 million.
Or sell them on eBay. With their newest Fee structure he could sell 5 a month with only $20 in fees each. In about 11 1/2 years, he'll sell them all!

I just love how at 3:27 in the video, they advertise "Family Safety" while displaying the family safety controls website in an IE6 BROWSER!!
Next thing you know, they'll allow advertisements as comments in code. What an annoyance!
Sites like tributes.com are popping up to make the death experience more facebook-compatible.
Great! I've been waiting for the opportunity to change my status to "Deceased".

You should teach a Mob ethics class.
Why would you care if Linux had NTFS support if you're running windows in a VM?
I suppose it depends on how you're setting up your container. If it's file-based, you would have a 4GB size limit.
