The thing about the PS3 is that it won't even be that much cheaper than a PC. Because just like the xbox 360 last year, because with the unit shortage places will only be selling the ps3 in a bundle and who knows how high that will go?
I hate the arrogance from these guys. It looks like they are going to get their asses handed to them in the next gen of consoles and I really hope this is true. They definitely need to be taken down a notch.
My sony boycott started because I thought all their hardware was shit, but they keep giving me more reasons to continue it.
I ordered it the other day and got the testimonial of randolph carter as well (based on my favorite lovecraft story). and this is the message I got back.
Thanks for your order; your DVDs will ship the end of the week via US Airmail. Be forewarned, the quality of The Call of Cthulhu is WAY better than Randolph Carter. TTORC was shot on VHS tape and suffers from poor sound and image quality. It's watchable but I wanted to give you fair warning.

I have no problem with that. But thought I would share.
Limewire pro already pops up a message saying it can't determine if a file is licensed or not and if you still want to download. Click yes and the checkbox that says "always use this answer" and you'll never see it again.
Also here's the source. Go build your own without this 'feature'.
Well based on the gamespot review, more people than me think it's not enough to charge full game price for what gets updated. Especially in the 2006 version of madden.
Ars has a good comment up already here. Basically saying that there's nothing wrong with sequels per say (ie. Half-Life 2), but series like Madden where things seem to be changed just for the sake of changing them from year to year.
It use to be a perl script to decode encrypted dvd's, but they shortened the allowed length of sigs since I posted it and it got cut off. I stole it from a slashdot article years ago. Must be in the archive here somewhere.
"You American people, my speech to you is the best way to avoid another conflict about the war and its reasons and results. I am telling you security is an important pillar of human life. And free people don't let go of their security contrary to Bush's claims that we hate freedom. He should tell us why we didn't hit Sweden for instance. Its known that those who hate freedom don't have dignified souls, like the 19 who were blessed. But we fought you because we are free people, we don't sleep on our oppression. We want to regain the freedom of our Muslim nation as you spill our security, we spill your security.
I am so surprised by you. Although we are in the fourth year after the events of sept 11, Bush is still practicing distortion and misleading on you, and obscuring the main reasons and therefore the reasons are still existing to repeat what happened before. I will tell you the reasons behind theses incidents.
I will be honest with you on the moment when the decision was taken to understand. We never thought of hitting the towers. But after we were so fed up, and we saw the oppression of the American Israeli coalition on our people in Palestine and Lebanon, it came to my mind and the incidents that really touched me directly goes back to 1982 and the following incidents. When the US permitted the Israelis to invade Lebanon with the assistance of the 6th fleet. In these hard moments, it occurred to me so many meanings I cant explain but it resulted in a general feeling of rejecting oppression and gave me a hard determination to punish the oppressors. While I was looking at the destroyed towers in Lebanon, it came to my mind to punish the oppressor the same way and destroy towers in the US to get a taste of what they tasted, and quit killing our children and women.
We didn't find difficulty dealing with Bush and his administration due to the similarity of his regime and the regims in our countries. Whish half of them are ruled by military and the other half by sons of kings and presidents and our experience with them is long. Both parties are arrogant and stubborn and the greediness and taking money without right and that similarity appeared during the visits of Bush to the region while people from our side were impressed by the US and hoped that these visits would influence our countries. Here he is being influenced by these regimes, Royal and military. And was feeling jealous they were staying for decades in power stealing the nations finances without anybody overseeing them. So he transferred the oppression of freedom and tyranny to his son and they call it the Patriot Law to fight terrorism. He was bright in putting his sons as governors in states and he didn't forget to transfer his experience from the rulers of our region to Florida to falsify elections to benefit from it in critical times.
We agreed with Mohamed Atta, god bless him, to execute the whole operation in 20 minutes. Before Bush and his administration would pay attention and we never thought that the high commander of the US armies would leave 50 thousand of his citizens in both towers to face the horrors by themselves when they most needed him because it seemed to distract his attention from listening to the girl telling him about her goat butting was more important than paying attention to airplanes butting the towers which gave us three times the time to execute the operation thank god.
Your security is not in the hands of Kerry or Bush or Al Qaeda. Your security is in your hands. Each state that doenst mess with our security has automatically secured their security."

In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is a magic xylophone, or something? Ha ha, boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

I used to scoff at intelligent design, until this video changed my life forever!
Oh good, I was wondering when a new game for the psp was coming out ;)
what's that from?
yeah, I should get a new one. Sigs used to be longer on here. It was perl code for decrypting dvd's.

Fact from fiction? Not quite. Basically an article that collects the hype from all three console camps.
"the next generation PlayStation "orders of magnitude" more powerful than the next Xbox"
Sure it will. The Playstation 2 will also be able to render Toy Story real time. Nothing to see here folks.
Here's a proposal for a modified bittorrent client for low bandwidth considerations.
If you catch a lot of flack for hearing how nintendo is just for kids, get one of these.

Clever. But I don't think everyone has the luxury to run whatever OS they want to.
Does anyone have a link to a free program to remove such a worm?
I think this should read
What's the solution, if any, to this "problem"?
