I have both an iPod and a Neuros. I got an iPod through the freeipods.com thing, and I've had the Neuros for a little over a year now. The iPod was the shiny new toy for about a month, and hasn't been used since. The Neuros is just better. Better menu interface, better sound, better features.
Other than it being a little slow, the kit lense seems fine to me. And I could care less about the warranty, I have an extended service plan on it, so no questions asked.
Hrm. I really don't agree with you on that point. I don't find the 300D to be that crippled compared to the 10D, especially with the WASIA firmware. Plus I can buy a battery grip for mine. =)
Turn your graphics down until you get a reasonable framerate. Far Cry did the same thing for me because I was trying to run it at a setting my machine wasn't equipped for. Turn it down until you get 60fps or so and it will help tremendously.
Thats actually a pretty good theory. I've never been able to figure out why so many people hated him but I always like Wesley. Don't get me wrong, the acting wasn't spectacular (no offense Wil), but he and Riker were always my fav characters.
I think you've hit it right on the nose there though... To some he was the whiny kid they already were and wanted to grow out of. To others of us he was the sci-fi/geek version of 'Doogie Howser', which I thought was totally radical at my young, impressionable age.
The best thing you could possibly do for your friend is to convince him to give up the dream of going to a game-dev school and instead use his freetime to learn game-development by building a mod for an existing game. He could mod HL2 for instance, build a TC or multi-player mod, and most likely learn just as much if not more than he would by going to shcool for it. Not only that, but if it's good enough, he could get picked up by an existing company, etc.
I know exactly how he feels, and had actually considered going to Full Saill (in Orlando) for a while, but realized I would be stupid to give up a cushy business-development job to work in a sweatshop.

Communisim doesn't work, or did you not get that memo?
When you pay the fry-hoppers the same as the systems analysts or MBA's, you take all the wind out of the sails of the people who had to work to get to where they are. If McDonalds is going to pay the same as I'm getting paid to do my job, I'd probably go work at McDonalds. Its easy, and I would have 0 responsibility. No stress, no worrying about my job.
Who modded this guy informative? There's nothing informative about not reading the system requirements on the side of the box to see that one of the requirements is an Internet Connection
No... It really is THAT good. Unfortunately I'm at work now and only got to play it for 5 hours or so... But they're not kidding. It was well worth the wait.
Those little white earbuds are the worst piece of crap I've ever owned. They sound terrible! Absolutely no depth, extremely tinny, and awful low-end. Not to mention the right earbud blew in the first week I got my iPod.

Internet Explorer's implementation of XmlHttpRequest is done using an Active X component.
Right... The posts that were originally stating that Gmail uses ActiveX though were doing so in a way that implied browser-hosted client-interface ActiveX. If you want to look at XmlHttpRequest in that way, then you might as well just call IE ActiveX as well. Heck, I use Maxathon, which hosts the IE ActiveX control and allows for tabbed browsing.

What is with you people and thinking that Gmail is using ActiveX with IE??? IT DOES NOT USE ACTIVEX. ActiveX is a component (usually a dll) that is downloaded and hosted in the browser. Think of ActiveX in IE the same way you think about a JAVA app hosted in a browser (only ActiveX isn't an interpreted/bytecode language, nor a language at all for that matter). Would you look at Gmail and think that it uses Java? NO.
Here's a little hint for you: Gmail uses Dynamic HTML aka DHTML aka JavaScript interacting with the DOM. Thats all. No components.
This post is not just directed at parent, it is also a reply to the multiple idiots in the current thread who stated that Gmail uses ActiveX, and I got tired of reading it.
Actually though, Canon's site claims that the WiFi addon can be used on the 1D Mk II (the camera of choice for sports photography right now) or the 20D with a firmware upgrade.

Word on the street is that its in the works. I can't wait.

LOL... Naah, gonna give it to the wife.
It'll play non-drm'd WMA's also.

Erm... Maybe you should just try WASTE instead? Thats exactly what it is.

I disagree. I can very accurately tell you at what refresh rate a CRT is running if its below 80hz.

In Korea, only the elderly decide Linux isn't so bad.
Sorry, I just had to try it out.

Actually, it would be accurate, it just wouldn't be precise. (If I remember highschool science correctly)
I did. Bush at #1 with 65%, Kerry at #2 with 56%.
You're joking right?
