Dot.Station Now say that out loud. You would say "dot dot station". STUPID. Just like warnings like this: No Running. Period. If you said that you would say "no running period period period". STUPID.
Yes, but its well known that for a good portion of a consoles life the maker actually looses money on each console sold, and makes it up on games and peripherals. So actually, you are saving them money by not buying the systems and only the games (in the PSX's case)!:)
Yes but the license is for one machine only. Now if you delete every trace of Windows on the old PC you should be fine. The problem is deleting every trace of Windows:P
Ooops yep. My bad on the Math. But remember, thats all the banner if for - a click. All they want is you to check out their site, buying is only icing on the cake. By going to the site you get more information ect. that you could pass on to others, or you could buy something yourself. But yes, click through isn't good enough alone.
Thats one in a hundred. Thats 1,000 clicks per million views. How many companies can boast that even a thousand people acted on their commercial and went right out and bought something from their company? I doubt too many.
Have you even seen any PS2 games? If you have then you would certainly know that the Dreamcast indeed CAN compete with it. They are already destroying it when it comes to gameplay, but when Shenmue comes out this fall it will be destroying it graphically. If you havent seen Shenmue on a TV then you dont know how awesome the Dreamcast can be.
Microsoft doesn't want to open source because they know what would happen if they did - they did do it themselves...
Didnt Steve Jobs let Gates in on some of the source code of the Mac OS and showed it to him earlier and such? Look what happened: Microsoft made windows (an almost identical copy) and now Apple is a niche market.
The facts may not all be straight, buts its right in principal:P
You do know that in England their called English people. What the hell else are they supposed to be called? And can you believe that people living in France are called french people, people in Japan are called japanese people, and get this, people in America are called american!?!? This is proof that Americans think that we are the only ones on the planet and that we were the first to create and use everything. The revolution apparently doesnt click with people. (hey wait I really should post this anonymous... ah screw it I'm already -2 from 1st posts...)
What isn't legal is buying Microsoft Office, installing it on your computer, then selling the discs on eBay. Or ordering the Microsoft 98 upgrade, installing it, then selling it. Thats what they are trying to stop. Its not legal! Sure the software you are selling is a legit copy, but its not legal if its still installed on your computer when you sell it. Now if the package is unopened then they have no right to cancel the auction, but if your selling opened software, then there is no way to prove that you dont have to the program installed on your computer.
Acctually the Genesis died because Sega stopped working on it and moved on to the Saturn years before Nintendo moved on towards the N64. And even after that Nintendo still supported the SNES.
Though my idea is a bit different. All it involves is a few gig of normal ram and loading the contents of the harddrive into it on boot. All changes would be done in ram, and then on shutdown it would copy the entire thing back onto the harddrive. Super fast access, 30 minute startup/shutdown. Good tradeoff if you have a long uptime.
Acctually yeah I think I am wrong, because I believe that you have to sell your product for normal price in one area but then sell it for super cheap purposly in another part. So then its ok to be universally free but not selectivly free. I think.
Actually then according to what you just said, he would be sued by the government for price dumping, because he is artificially lowering his prices and other companies who cannot afford to give their bread away could not compete. See! Look at that! Jesus is just as bad as Microsoft! Your all hypocrites!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Oh, and by the way, that last part is a joke. You would think the excessive use of !'s would give it away, but you'd be surprised.)

You can control if you put it in you however. I would have no sympathy if someone choose to give themselves cancer and then bitched about it. Its the same way.
And don't give me crap that once you get on it you can't get off of it. My dad used to smoke, he quit cold turkey. My dad used to drink almost daily, he now only does on weekends and sparingly usually.
Saying its hard to quit is an excuse for being lazy and not trying.
"Enough background. Federation had to ban the trade of Federation cash (groats) for AOL hours, because people with Fed money were paying people with real money in order to support their habit. Almost the opposite of what's happening here. " That seems like it would be going in circles though. I mean you give 10000 credits for $20, then someone happens to offer you 20000 for $30, then you give 5000 for $15 ect.... Am I reading it right...?
I could make Blood Bowl 2000! My red blood cells vs. my white blood cells in a battle to see who is the Blood Bowl Champion of the World! The game would of course be NFL2K. I would also like to see if I could beat my kidney in Soul Calibur. Or if my right leg could kick my ass (literally) in DOA2. The possiblities are endless!
Yes indeed. Nothing like booting womens heads a distance. Hehehe. I laughed my ass off the first time I did that. It's still damn funny. That whole game was a classic...
Ok here is the situation. We are at war with, lets say india for some reason. They have landed men on our California coast and we are sending troops and tanks and shit after them. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD CONTROL A FEW OF THE TANKS AND HAVE THEM START BLOWING UP OUR OWN TROOPS? Hey, were being invaded, lets go ahead and destroy our own troops so we cant defend and we all die! YAY!!!!!!! The only other time would be peacetime, and the worst harm would be them still killing our own troops, or pissing off other countries by killing theirs. Either way the person doing the hacking would get caught probalbly.

You know, I wish you didnt have to include (br> for spaces, because that would look alot better. now it looks STUPID.

The trial is a big misunderstanding. It's a moron government getting into something they have no idea about.

They have sold over 2.5 million (acctually I think 3 million) in the US so far. And thats before the awesome Sega.com deal kicks in.

No, because that software in unopened new OEM software. The ones that you get with your computer has been opened and installed on your computer.
