I'm sure it's not on purpose, it's just the way MS does things. I've also read in the Register that the Twin Towers from WTC are still there. I mean, wouldn't one of the beta testers check for that?
nah, to each their own. i just wonder how much of it is a legit need for a change as opposed to a hollywood and drug induced need to be different and shocking.
Well, I was gonna reply with why I can't do this, but I saw that you had lots of other flamebait posts, so I'll just let you wallow in your own dellusion.
But thanks for taking time to give me a suggestion, no matter how irrelevant it is.
Good to know we're on the right track. We just purchased 40 computers preloaded with XP home (apparently we couldn't get them without it), and then had to purchase 40 licenses (150 a pop) for XP Pro. Good work Microsoft, I feel so happy about this, and that my potential is your passion!
well, damnit all to hell then. i do admit i don't know that much about consoles (though i suspect PS3 will change that), and i didn't realize that console games outsell PC games by such a wide margin.
Right, but now that bit-torrent makes the physical distribution needless it would be a fun experiment to try. Valve did a good job with HL2, and Anarchy Online released their client through pure BitTorrent.
I know AO's been out for a while, but what I'm saying is that Take Two is now free to run with it. They can say, well, we've already got one AO game, we might as well make another one and see how it sells. They don't have to worry about their image any more...
Apart from Japanese sex games (thank you Illusion) there are not really any Adult games out there. Not even independent ones.
If they have an AO rating for a game, now they're free to experiment with some new adult games. LS Larry was a decent shot, but this allows them to push the envelope further. (I know it wasn't a Take Two's game, but speaking in general...)
I think a market could use a decent game with adult elements in it. I know I myself am a bit tired of "kiddified" games that are supposed to be serious and engaging.
Awesome. Imagine carrying around a few seasons of Simpsons, so when someone in the office says "Remember when Millhouse put glue in his hair..." you can pull it up on your iPod and view it...
you have a point. adding video to iPod (which does one thing and does it well, except now it can do two things -- photos) makes it perhaps too complicated.
however, what i am suggesting is that Apple would now have a tool to dominate the online video market the way they do music.
think about it. we're all waiting for movies for download. who's gonna do it and how? Apple is the only company that can even try. All they need are the contracts, bandwidth, and video iPods.
but wait though. the files are DRMd, not the output. suppose they pump it throug the analog RCA (red, white, yellow).
sure you could rip the movie, but you'd have to wait 1.5 hours for each movie, and it wouldn't make much sense. just as you can rip the audio off the iPod, i don't think there would be much worry over it.
Before everyone starts bitching about the screen, I'd like to mention that the strength of such a video iPod would be in its ability to output signal to a TV. That way you can carry half a dozen, dozen movies with you on trips, to your friends houses, wherever, and view them on TV.
Think of it as your portable movie library. (considering that that's what iPods already are for music purposes.)
I believe it's just a matter of replacing Ws with Vs, extending the eeees, saying borgi-borgi-borgi a lot, and always talking about simple furniture and massages.
But it would only be useful if you are into tall blondes, comfy surroundings, and appreciacion of common sense.

I hope you're aware that Wachowski brothers are not exactly "brothers" any more.
2.8 GHz with 1GB of RAM is not a workstation, it is a mediocre PC, or an average business PC.
We're looking for some GIS worthy workstations, and trust me, what Dell specified for 900 bucks is not it.
Can't we just declare a war on piracy and get it over with?

How dare you insult someone with an # of 900660 !!!
So what if he banged up some code, got an account and thought he'd post it here?
oh yeah, this is sarcasm, for those who might be confused.
You don't understand man.
Tiny screen, no Ogg, no wireless... Lame...
There I've said it. Eat that Taco!
1. You misspelt/misspelled photos.
2. 2gb? Get back to Minors:)
Awesome.

I think people just lack vision.
To them, lugging around a laptop and a roll of chickenwire makes more sense than an ipod.
Not only that, but last time I tried to shove a laptop in my shirt pocket, it ripped it to all hell.
My mom was not amused, to say the least.
That's pretty fscking stupid.
I wasn't aware of that.
Who's the manager that brought that decision?
Mr. Dumass?

No offense to Portman, but have I been reading wrong graphic novels?
Hyper-intellectual? WTF?
And here I thought reading Joe Sacco's series and Maus gave me the right to wear a monnocle!
Baldrick:M'Lord, I have a cunning plan, which cannot fail.

we're all in the /. timeout because the new mods don't understand our humor, and keep modding us "troll".
either that, or scientologists are after me.
I don't think it'd be too hard to learn swedish.
