They'd also sell a lot more if it's not Apple only... I love my emusic account, but theres just some stuff they don't have that I want. I can't even browse the damn thing to see if it's worth hijacking a computer in the maclab at my school and using a burner to take my stuff home...
Wasn't that designed with 64-bit processors in mind?
Now this doesn't make much sense, because how can you run that in 64-bit mode even though you have a 64-bit processor, when the OS is running in 32-bit mode?
IIRC, it shows Micah (one of the characters in the comic) playing EQ, and his girlfriend Hellen coming up behind him, trying to coax him to "get some sleep." He declines, and she tries again in something "a bit more comfortable," and he turns her down again, and eventually she just gives up.
Exactly. Back when Squaresoft and Enix were seperate companies, even before it was Square Electronic Arts and Electronic Arts Square (one based in US, one in JP), I searched for "Square" on the net because that's what they were known by. I got a business site (that apparently no longer exists) that had a big line of text near the top "We do not do videogames. You are looking for Squaresoft" with a link to their page. Why can't it be as simple as that?
I'm from a New Haven, CT suburb, and now currently in 11th grade, back as far as 5th you could tell who had the Print Shop Pro Ultra Deluxe which teachers wanted me to emulate, being the computer nerd (even back then)
How Stuff Works - Helped with a project or two. So You Wanna - Doesn't look like it's been updated recently, a pity too.

Basically it's a game with a very stupid premise. You stand on a metal platform with 4 arrows (UDLR) and you pick a song that varies in difficulty (arrows in a row, jumping to hit two arrows at once, holding one arrow down while hitting others) and speed (bpm goes from 70 to 330 or so, half/quater/eigth/sixteenth beat arrows) and you press the arrows with your feet.
Harder than it sounds, and more fun than it looks.
In 93 teachers started expecting all of that? Where the hell did you live? Silicon Valley? Back then my older brother was a junior in high school, and they expected a report typed, by typewriter or computer.
Even for me, teachers didn't start expecting stuff done by computers until 8th or 9th grade (1999-2000) and not until this year teachers believe that it's highly possible to do reports based completely on online information (had to argue with teachers when I said I couldn't find books on bleeding-edge topics as a resource). Combined with the fact that teachers usually can't use a computer at all (I actually have had teachers ask me to enter and edit information in SASIxp (the gradebook/attendance sysyem) without them staring over my shoulder), I doubt this is going to be a big problem for another couple of years. (Based on the fact that my school system is a hell of a lot more "advanced" than a lot of my friends across the country)
It's because we grew up with knowing what an inch was and a foot was in relation to everything else. We knew how much a cup was, and how hot 80F was. Now when we grow up, saying that i'm 200cm tall is vastly different than saying I'm 6ft tall (not going for an equal amount), and saying "Holy shit! It's 27C out! It's fucking hot!" is different than saying "Damn, I'm gonna die in the 100F heat!"
In an arcade that's in one of the many malls in my state (CT), a bit after DOA3 came out for XBOX, they set up one of those big-screen arcade screens hooked to an XBOX with two controllers hanging out on the place where the joysticks and buttons would be. I think they rigged it to do a certain time limit (like OLD school arcade machines with NESs in them did) or a certain number of rounds. I didn't bother to find out cause it was like a dollar, and I had DDR to waste money on.
One of the kids that used to bully me from gradeschool to highschool is now in jail because he beat an old woman for her purse, a la GTA3 style. I'm glad I won, and not addicted to crack.
There's nothing wrong with customized adverts. If I got those, I'd turn off WebWasher. I don't want personal ads, I don't want a 100% legal smoke. I want hardware, games, anime, and industrial music.

Counterpoint: Pegasus mail client. They call it Pegasus Email for a reason, because Pegasus reminds me nothing of email.

Because it's easy to make it "look good" by hitting 4 arrows than to rave dance, in my case anyway.
QuickTech does that, but it's not open.

The enemy gate is down...
Like getting a woody?
Now besides quotas, how do you explain the asshole cops that ticket people for going 2mph over the speed limit. More paperwork right?

My cost on a WinXP Home OEM copy is $106USD. You're getting fucked by your distributor.

Do people really have as bad hygene as people always say? I've never met a smelly geek.

Was the Albertson's on the corner sending you a flyer for their store weekly for 3 years?
A lot of people STILL don't know of an internet outside of AOL. The original post still rings true.
