    Um isnt that the point? Terminators are supposed to look humanlike. It's all part of the whole blending in/stealthy killing style... until they bust out a shotgun.

    Why doesn't MickeyD's just choke off the bandwidth a bit. People will become impatient as they're lagging ass in WoW or checking their email. Sounds like a viable solution to me.

  19. Re:No transcoding if natively supported on console on Windows 7 Streams Media To the Xbox 360 and PS3 Seamlessly · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm watching TV Shows that i've missed over the past week, or Shows on channels I don't have access to, I.E. Top Gear via BBC, or True Blood via HBO.

    There's little to no effort with setting these things up.

    I Installed Tversity, and within seconds of turning on my ps3, I can be watching an episode of whatever I want to watch. No fuss, no mess.

    I have recently though, bought another external hard drive, hooked it straight to my ps3 and watch movies, tv and whatever via that. Haven't had problems with codecs not working or whatever. And if i do, i just re-encode the files to something that will work with the ps3 while I'm at work.

  20. Re:Poor excuse on Piracy and the PSP · · Score: 1

    I for one wouldn't like to wind up buying a 32GB flash card every time i want a new game. The cost on those things (right now) are ungodly expensive. And that's the closest comparable size to a BD Disc. Go up to 64, and granted you eclipse the size of the BD Disk, but you also pay a mint for the card/SSD.

    I see the BD Disc going nowhere fast, until the price of solid state media comes down in price.

    and even when that happens, who's to say that there won't be yet another type of optical disk technology?

  21. Re:Emulation on Piracy and the PSP · · Score: 1

    I bought two flashcarts for the GBA off of ebay. One SD Version, which I soon found out wouldn't play most NES roms because of some bogus 256Kb load limitation, and then the CompactFlash version of the same thing, with a 512MB Flash card. I haven't touched a GBA cartridge since.

    Then again, I Might have gotten them from Amazon... They might be a bit more lenient on the Flash Carts.

    For the record, You can also find a TON of counterfeit games on Ebay... I had bought a copy of The Legend of Zelda - Minish Cap and it looked fully authentic, until you looked at the actual cartridge. First red flag, was on the back, Licensed by Nintendo was spelled incorrectly, Second, The little gold insignia on the front of GBA carts was suspiciously missing, and third... the friggin label was WHITE rather than RED. Oh and if you look close, there is an imprint of a letter a number on the front of the cart.

    I got this cartridge from no other place than Hong Kong...

    I have another story about these, but that'll be best held for another time.

    I don't know about now, but i think it varies from priest to priest. I remember as a kid, going to church and hearing it... the next priest didn't say it.. then the one after did.. etc.

    That said, I haven't been to church in a bit over 3 year, since the priest we had at the time was calling out to a neighbor lady while dancing naked in his garage...

    Needless to say, I couldn't look at that guy the same way.
