But keep in mind that the GHTunes are basically a handful of MIDI files (one for each instrument). This is a far far smaller bandwidth burden than the store tracks which contain a compressed audio track for guitar, bass, drums, vocals (maybe?), and one for everything else.
The biggest reason is that the programs written for a console have a console controller in mind. They don't expect you to have easy access to a keyboard. Even PC apps that have native joystick support don't usually have ready access to save states or other menu functions from the controller.
You get some of that via the PSP, but the TV and multiplayer from a TV console is a little easier, too.
Keep in mind that this issue is in England. I've more commonly heard them called "slot load" or "slot loading" drives, but "slot in drive" yields 8250 results on Google, most talking about this type of drive.
"Slot load drive" gets 13400, and "slot loading drive" gets 17200. Certainly more results, but not so many that I'd think "slot in drive" is incoherent.
Yes, but that's irrelevant. Mega Man X is a separate branch of similar games. X was released between 6 and 7. Yes, it's interesting that there were 9 standard Mega Man games, but the "X" in Mega Man X is an X, not a ten.
And also, 7 and 8 were released in the US. 9 (Rockman and Forte/Mega Man & Bass) was eventually ported to the GBA.
BB online has one tiny advantage. Since they can take their pool from the stores that have been buying DVDs longer than Netflix, BB online has a few movies I am interested in seeing, but went out of print before Netflix was buying DVDs.
Not enough that I'd switch, as BB is more frequently missing things.
They won't do this, but I could respect Philips is they patented this, and then refused to license it to anyone, thereby preventing this terrible idea from coming to fruition.
He did write in his journal that he thinks the mp3 audiobooks haven't caught on yet. He's done a pile of signings, and as of the DC Book Fest, he said he had only signed one mp3 CD of Anansi Boys.
I think it's somewhat noteworthy cause it looks like an old NES, and people seem to like the wireless controllers they have been selling. It's not some shoddy Asian knockoff, but people that care about what they are making.
If you get a GBA flash cart, you will. (Secretly, DW4 is only half a meg, and Kirby's Adventure is bigger). If you get the movie player and a CF card, you won't.
Ah, but that is an unpowered *hub*. No rules regarding that. The parent is referring specifically to what comes out the back/side/front of the computer.
Ok, what this does is load an emulator and rom into the GBA's RAM. It's not a 192k arbitary limit, but a facet of the 64kb emulator and the fact that the GBA has 256kb of RAM.
If you really want a good NES emulator you're better off just getting a flash cart for the GBA. Life's good with those.
Perhaps he's talking about the hidden bonus stage game? (Press A+B+C+START on the message you get if you plug a non Sonic 2 / 3 cart in, I think you might get different levels depending on what cartridge you plug in, but don't hold me to that).
You get random levels on most carts. Sonic 1 gave you the option to enter passwords for stage selects.
I've always had a slightly hard time swallowing having MST3K bashed movies on the list. Odds are, very few people have seen Manos outside of that context, and it changes the experience of the film. Sure, it's bad, but it wouldn't have enough votes to be found bad without someone digging it up to show people.
It depends on the linearity. GTA is going to be different, but if it's 150 hours of linear game to beat it, I'll be annoyed if I only get 1/5 of the way through and don't see the ending. But if it's 30 hours I enjoy and see the ending, and then have another 120 hours to munch on in the future, that rocks.
I kinda dig shorter games, but I'm in the smaller margin.
They even defend against that in the blurb. Eterm just pastes a relative bit of the desktop background in it. Move your "transparent" Eterm over another window, and what do you see? Your desktop background. Move a transparent OS X window over your browser window, and what do you see? Your browser.

Meant to post this in reply to the person talking about TV-out from PCs, but mis-pasted after signing in. Ah well.

You can still find them, but they are rare.
But the music CD-Rs have a bit flipped on the disc that allows them to be used with set-top box CD recorders.
In a PC, however, there is no difference.

Yeah, but she went and changed her name on all her older work. Recent issues of Switched on Bach list her as Wendy, though the photo is unchanged.
Bonzi. Take heart that you didn't remember correctly.
They want the full AOL client to access AOL content. Not just the AIM client.

The Quake icon gets used for the id stuff specifically.
from the pedantry dept:
"Recursion" is a noun, whereas "recursive" is the adjective.

I believe it's a command in headlinese:
And you can Apples - iPod site for the full details.
It's probably not legal. It may be if you dump the ROM from your own NES cart, but downloading it from elsewhere isn't.
However, it is ethical, in many many eyes.
The Nintendo produced carts do have some sprite work done on them, so they look a touch better, but it's not major.
Actually, grab NesterDC from here. This is version 7.1, which runs most games full-speed, whereas 3 had a 50% frameskip.
