I've played it comfortably on airplanes, on my couch and yes, even on the can.
Sounds weird to those that are GBA-less, but the bathroom really is one of the better places to play... plenty of light (either natural or artificial) in an enclosed area with light colored walls (think albedo). Just remember not to get too excited while playing... you might drop it(!) or risk a few strange looks from others after doing your business.
Anyway, I can't wait for the internal light... it's been months since I've played Castlevania.
I concur; I can't believe all the people who don't see your point of view. (Maybe they just make more than us?) The cost is the exact reason I haven't picked one up, yet.
Some make the argument that it's because "they don't know what their missing." That's mostly B.S. I know exactly what I'm missing, but it's not worth that much money!
Others argue it's because "they're afraid of the technology." That, too, isn't entirely accurate. Personally, I'm not afraid of technology... I'm a programmer, I have multiple computers, a PDA, etc. Plus, these things certainly appear to be pretty damn easy to use.
Well, anyway, I may take the plunge within the next couple years, but it's going to be tough getting my wife to warm up to the idea.;)
Then again... she's always missing the shows she likes best. Hmm...
I think you misunderstand me. Did I lose you somewhere? Let me explain.
I agreed with your comment about the troll. I even said I enjoyed your comment. (Did you miss that?)
The troll implied that you were being a karma whore. But, they also said that no one would read your comment.
My point was: if no one reads your commment how can you be a karma whore? (i.e., if no one reads your comment, how can your comment be moderated? and, then, how can you benefit karma-wise from a comment that is not moderated?)
You know... I was attempting to support you, but I really just shouldn't have bothered.
There have been programs measuring things like this for a number of years... this reminds me of a program I had once that would calculate how many miles your mouse travels.
Interesting perspective... but, I'm thinking: so what if they fingered the wrong guy? It's not like they could have thrown him in jail, garnished his wages, or put a lean on his house, etc.
It probably would spook the guy pretty bad, though.
Anyway, have you seen Memento? I think you'd like it.
On a similar note, ABCNEWS.com is carrying an AP report about a new HP/UCLA patent on managing information flow in molecular systems.
Here's a fun quote:
"I believe that in 10 years we definitely will have hybrid molecular-silicon circuitry," Williams said. "Molecules will take over more of the computational tasks of the system and the silicon will become just the input-output device and the power supply."
So far, even though there are plenty 5-pointers, I've yet to see one shining, intelligent, "wow, I never thought of it that way" comment about this subject -- including mine.
Does anyone else get sick of the same old mantra?
I'm thinking about watching TV, now... how bizzare.
Actually, they still pop-behind, even when you have that cookie. The window pops-behind then checks to see if you have the cookie. If you do, it closes itself. And, sometimes, they don't even close!
That's not exactly what I wanted when I followed their directions to "completely disable" them.
Wow. All I can do I laugh... I was thinking about this very same thing the other day.
Lucky me, my wife knows enough about cars so that there's only one of us scratching our heads when a problem comes up. I try to learn from her when I can, but I still don't ever seem to get the hang of them. ("What the hell is the distributor cap again?" etc.)
For the record: yeah, I don't know squat about cars. I hate cars. Cars are a money pit. Anyway, I don't really have a spare car to dink around with. I'm comfortable completely fucking up my computer and then spending a hundred dollars to get it back up and running... but not my car. See, if I screwed my car up real bad, it'd probably end up costing me more than the cost of a whole new computer just to fix one thing! (Well that, and my wife would get really, super pissed off. She could care less about my computer.;)
Maybe I'd change my mind if I spent some time figuring out how to hook into the car's diagnostic(?) computer. Not sure how much good it'd do, though...

Yuk, yuk, yuk... :)

Actually, stealing mail is a federal crime. Small-claims court is the easy way out (for the criminal).

really! if no one reads what you wrote, are you still a karma whore? (did the tree fall?)
I, for one, found your post interesting.
I was born on a Friday, the 13th.
Some people think it's scary; I think it's funny.
13 is my favorite number, too.
Fun stuff. Trivial, but fun.
It probably would spook the guy pretty bad, though.

i am talking about the specific phrase "separation of church and state"
thank you.

it's not in any official government document whatsoever.

Whoa, what the hell did I eat today? Oh, well.
in fact, if you're in the market for a memory stick, you can get a 128mb for $61 at buy.com and there's a $15 rebate.
That's quite interesting... to me, it's somewhat like saying you can't drive your Nissan when you go to buy a Honda.
Anyway, it sure seems silly; thanks for your post.
It happens randomly (it's an ad, after all), in the fart^H right column, so here's a screen shot.
That does not appear to be an advertisement, even remotely.

Nice; +1, Clever.
Run Lola Run is a great movie; not really a chick-flick, I think. My wife does like it though.
You'd rather have people get drunk and fall on their asses rather than just sit on them? Gotcha. ;)
enjoy your marathon!
Err... scratch that, I missed the original parent commment. My bad.
