    Sure, if you assume that there was only one camera.

    Sure, normally I would agree with you but just yesterday downloaded about 300GB of video of my friends wedding. It's nice to have the option to do so when necessary. It saved me from driving to Tokyo.

  3. Farm Vehicles on Ford To Introduce Restrictive Car Keys For Parents · · Score: 1

    I think that you will find that the states which grant learners permits at 14/15 do so because they were at one point or are still farm based states. This allows the children of farmers to drive farm vehicles to assist their parents. I know that is the reasoning for Alberta, Canada.

  4. Re:This is why on "Back Door" Cheating Scandal Rocks Online Poker · · Score: 1

    I used to go to vegas for work at least once a month for a year. During that time I stayed at pretty much every major hotel and played in most of the casinos worth entering. I can say without hesitation that drinks are still comped. Granted if you are at the higher stakes tables the waitresses tend to come around more frequently. Also as with any bar if you tip well in the beginning the waitress will remember and return much regularly.

  7. Re:Companies don't merge to benefit customers. on Fallout From the Activision and Vivendi Merger · · Score: 1

    Basically the game will freeze at random points when playing. This requires you to hard reboot the PS3, which from reports has bricked a number of peoples PS3's. It appears to happen far more frequently when playing in franchise mode. Basically you can play one game then you need to reboot your PS3 or the game will crash. Aside from this there are major issues with the statistic tracking for players and graphic glitches galore.

    I downloaded the second patch for the game which seems to have addressed all these issues with the exception of statistics.

    The lead developer of the game basically said that if people complain about this years version of the game they have less time to work on next years version. What I think he fails to realize is that if they released a functional game in the first place this wouldn't be an issue.

    We use barcodes for everything here(Japan). Find a coupon in a magazine and don't want to carry it around, no problem just scan it and present it at the store.

    With the exception that EA has ruined what was a great game in Madden... Although its better after the second update Madden 2009 should not have been released.

  10. Re:How is it hard to prevent. on Mythic GM Talks Warhammer Launch, Banning Gold Sellers · · Score: 1

    The only MMO I've ever played was FFXI. I played it too much to be honest but that's neither here nor there. I think what has to happen is to also ban the accounts of players buying the gold. That would go a long way to curtailing the problem. As you wouldn't need to 'catch' them in the act and could simply look at the logs of whom the gilseller interacted with after they were identified.

  13. Re:Force Unleased sets record boredom on Star Wars: the Force Unleashed Demo Sets Xbox Download Record · · Score: 1

    The demo is pretty fun ill give it that, however the targeting system is terrible. Jumping into a group of enemies and smashing 3 buttons will get old fast though. If it was possible I would rent the game rather than wasting $60 for the one time I would play it, as I am sure jumping into a group of enemies and hitting the same 3 buttons over and over will have no replay value.

  14. Re:"Call" back in a year on Apple Losing Touchscreen War · · Score: 1

    The iPhone hasnt been out in japan for very long a few months at the most if I recall correctly. And while it was sold out you can purchase it quite easily now. On that note I know a total of 3people here who have the iPhone. Could have something to do with Docomo having the lions share of the cellphone market and the iPhone only offered at this time by softbank.

  16. Re:Saw Spore was from EA and passed on Will DRM Exterminate Spore? · · Score: 1

    I've been playing EA sports games for a long long time. Mainly Tigerwoods and Madden for the ps2 and recently for the ps3. This years madden is wretched I can't honestly believe that they could ship this as a finished product. I have 'played' 8 games and have had the game crash on me 5 times. There is quite simply no way that they would not have known about these issues prior to releasing the game.

    To make matters worse for me a friend brought me the game from Canada and I being in Japan now I have no way to return the game. At any rate I will never purchase anything from EA again and this is coming from someone who has spent $1000's on EA products in the past.

    While the cap may be 30GB, quite a large % of ISP's still shape P2P traffic. You will find that the majority of the large providers do. That being said I generally get fantastic speeds using ftp. 20$ a month for fiber is a great deal here... To bad about the N.A market.

    'Just think, one day, the R&D that Nintendo put into Wii bowling could end up influencing basic training.'...

    While I am no expert on this or any topic for that matter. I highly doubt that this situation is anywhere close to being in the realm of possibilities imagined when Nintendo created the Wii or for that matter when they brought out the NES(in all its Gyrobot glory).

I wish you the best of luck resolving any issue that you may or may not have. I would have prefered to email you this time but your email address is not publicly listed on /. and I will not visit while I am at work.
