I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon. He will be missed:(
I wish you people would TRY a goddamned xbox. Who cares if Microsoft dominates the operating system industry. Microsoft has the BEST console out right now, and it's starting to pick up steam.
If you'd all only stop bitching for one minute and actually take a look at the quality of the system, maybe you'd see something.
You know, the sony fanboy mantra is "it's all about the games..."
Well... I find it pretty widely accepted that EA does not make the best sports games anymore. Besides that fact, I think it's pretty funny that Sony is going to let their users get charged directly by EA.
Sony is just as ruthless as Microsoft, but just because Microsoft keeps Linux from saving the world, Sony is everybody's friend because the enemy of your enemy is your friend.
Bullcrap.
"it's all about the games..." alright. Then get me 2k2, NFL Fever, JSRF, Halo, DOA3, PGR, a carton of cigarettes, a case of beer, and get the hell out!

Perhaps it's just me being hung over or too lazy to read the actual story, but I started to think I'd see something about the Zerg.
What?
I thought hairy palms were the only risk I was taking.
You people are far too serious, jesus.
Can you think of any other job that is more purely evil than working for a mega-spammer?
Jeez, honestly, I almost think I see Bill Gates in a more favorable light.
"can make IE and IIS to run any code in the system"
Noooooo!
Minesweeper WON'T stop coming up!

troll.
Not bloody likely. Fanboy.
Good work that will make a difference?
Well, back to my video games. You know Xbox Live comes out in a week from today right?
I was just thinking this, honestly. Do some people really scour the net constantly looking for news that could be construed as negative for Microsoft?
If so, sheesh. Get a life.
I saw this posted in another thread. I thought it was funny. Oh well.

Glad I know CowboyNeal only uses IRC for messaging for the 100000th time.
Man, I don't know, but I swear to god I wish they'd get Edward Burns to be Gambit.
He'd be perfect for it.

Yeah, that makes sense. May as well port it to Atari 2600, too!
I wish I had this technology already.
Sounds sweet.
Operating Systems Used to Access Google - April 2002 -Google Zeitgeist
91% Microsoft.
1% Linux.
I **don't** think Microsoft has anything to worry about yet.
What's up.
Since the price drop and E3, xbox sales have gone through the roof.

But if you can't be objective about this, STFU.
You're obviously not getting the point.
Linux Zealots are hypocritical trolls.

This is exactly right.
Microsoft has the right idea when it comes to the online play... ONE bill, ALL online games.
**ducks as anti-microsoft zealots swoop in to take off his head**
Just buy one, you douchebags. xbox is better. Just play.
I've played (on xbox) 2k2, Madden, and Fever.
Madden is by far the worst of the three.
I'll be perfectly happy to play 2k2 or Fever online over EA's shoddy work.
This cracks me up.
Although the whole analogy is off. Microsoft makes the rules. EA doesn't want to follow the rules. EA gets expelled. Nobody in the class misses EA.
I mean, jesus, Madden was not even close to 2k2 or fever.
No worries.
2k2 is a great game, but it is too easy. If fever had more realistic player models and better in-game commentary, it would be better than 2k2.
I play Fever all the time now.
And yes, xbox fans could really give a crap about EA. xbox is getting more support from Sega than any other platform, and they make damn good games.
