As someone who hasn't gotten around to getting a PS2 or GameCube, I'm still interested in the Wii/PS3 compatibility. There are huge libraries there for the picking, much cheaper than the new games. If you've never played the games, they're as good as "new."
I'm more likely to get a Wii (price, looks a lot more fun). I can pick up Zelda, maybe one other Wii game, then hit the used stores and buy a buttload of $5-15 Gamecube games.
Hmm, I suppose it's asking too much if the PS3 emulates PS1 games too?
Just more proof that big brother is spying on you and your electricies! Damn that George Bush! What ever happened to our right to power outages since 9/11?? Might as well burn the Constitution.
I've been looking for a web type app for this for a while now. Are there any decent ones people use? I use different computers, OSes, etc and can't be tied to one desktop. Any ideas here?
WLS in Chicago is reporting difficulties with the black arrow ballots too. Apparently, they don't always have enough of these "pen" devices (people probably take them home). Technology still bites ya in the ass. My great-great-great-great-...x500 grandparents didn't have any of these problems voting with stone tablets and a chisel. This is just a conspiracy by the big-pen corporations to disenfranchise.. um, somebody!!
2000: Democrats/Gore position on anything, "Hey, I'm a Democrat, ya know, working families, Clinton was good, so why not?"
Republicans/Bush: Taxes, Abortion, Gay Marriage, etc - you know where they stand.
2002: I don't remember much of that one:) But just a year after Sept 11, Democrats weren't expected to win a lot.
2004: Democrats/Kerry position, "Hey, we hate Bush. Kerry is not Bush. Vote for us."
Bush: You still know where he stands on issues, expect the same.
2006: Democrats position, "We still hate Bush. War is bad, mm'k? So vote for us."
There are never any real issues mentioned on the Democrats side. This "We aren't Republicans" campaign hasn't been working. In 1994, Newt at least had a list of things they'd do if they took over Congress.
Yes! We need to get out of Iraq now! We need to turn everything over to the Iraqis! Saddam needs to be tried by his own people, not a US military tribunal! And said Iraqis need to confirm their actions on any future matters with us so we can decide if it's ok for them to do it now or wait until later! Yeah!
It also means we don't sink to the same level. You don't want to become the very thing you're fighting against.
So, gassing hundreds because they are against you politically is completely on the same level as providing evidence, having a trial, finding guilty, sentencing said man?
Some parts of history must not be allowed to repeat itself.
This is just a first step in ridding the world of it's number one killer, Dihydrogen Monoxide. Maybe this will help shed some light on this toxic chemical compound. I find it absolutely horrendous that there hasn't been any action taken against it for as many lives as it has destroyed.
Primarily, they wanted the stuff off because they want you to watch their select clips on ComedyCentral.com and buy the whole show on Itunes. Popularity/Advertisement/etc be damned when the lawyers get ahold of something...
From the Center for Media and Public Affairs. Right there on the first page, 77% of Democrat coverage (ABC, NBC, CBS) is favorable, and 12% of Republican coverage is favorable to them. Heck, some news I've seen still mentions Tom Delay (Republicans = corrupt), but I never heard what happened to Rep William Jefferson (D-Louisiana) and his $90k in the freezer. Here in Illinois, two big fund raisers for the governor (a democrat) are in trouble for illegalities with their raising. Yet, I don't consider every democrat in the country corrupt because a few are.
What I don't recall from the 1994 takeover of Congress, was this HUGE push for weeks/months beforehand like they have now, saying how it's a done-deal, Democrats have won, Nancy Pilosi is Speaker, Bush will be impeached immediately, etc.
IANASSAA (I am not a Social Security Administration auditor), but wouldn't the organization periodically run audits on their money? That would eventually lead to them figuring out an illegal immigrant is using a number from a dead person or otherwise invalid number. Then they would have to return that money to the business owner. It shouldn't be used in the general pool of money. The accountants' job is to account for every penny.
That article mentions them making $8-12 an hour. The politically correct hippies always told me they were making $1 or less an hour, being taken advantage of, doing the important work Americans refuse to do, etc.
Anyway, if they want benefits, all they have to do is apply to immigrate here in the first place. This country does allow people to come in legally too. They just want to provide proof of who you are, no communicable diseases, not a terrorist, etc. If they want to live outside the laws, under the radar, etc., why receive any benefits of being in the country? There's no way to conclusively prove anything with them, how much they put into Social Security, for how many years, etc. Are we to just take their word for it? "Uh, I jumped the border in 1966, used number 123-45-6789 for two years before I got busted. Then I got number 123-45-6790 and worked for a different company for 5 years before getting caught..." Repeat to present. "Now give me all the benefits I'm due! And don't arrest me for breaking any laws even though I just outlined it all above."
Back in my day, arcades had the same scheme going. You got tickets from playing the skeeball game (the fun games didn't give tickets). Then you turned in the tickets for crap prizes. Things like a pencil were 50 tickets. A good game might get you ten or so tickets. So you spend 50 cents per game * 5 games, $2.50, for a $0.05 pencil. Woohoo!
WoW plays just fine with the stock Wine source (no transgaming thing or anything extra). In fact, I was pulling more FPS on Linux than my Windows machine.
Don't forget the 8-12 hours every WEEK (Tuesdays). That's on a good week, when there are no content patches. It can go higher with the patch-to-patch-the-bad-patch when they are making game changes.
Everquest is still having expansions. There are what, a dozen or so? As long as people are playing, they will make expansions and maintain the game. Infinitum or no $$, whichever comes first.
It's possible already! I just found out about this new technology called, "Two Computers." Apparently, it allows you to do tasks in two entirely separate environments, running any OS you choose. And best of all, none of that virtualizationizing hoopla crap! It's just a bunch of marketing hype if you ask me.
If writing is your profession, why are you expecting much from a free product? You may just have to spend a little money to get every feature you're looking for.
And we all know Google's target with these apps are the 0.002% of the Internet people who are professional writers, not the 99.998% soccer moms who don't need $500 worth of MS Office to make sappy birthday party invitations and other junk...

1. Pre-order a system.
2. Get $20 game for lack of supply.
3. Refund your pre-order deposit.
4. Profit $$

Ya see, Bush is so mad about the elections he's putting hurricanes on the Saturnurians now. What next, blizzards on Venus??
Good point! "They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security" is what I always say.
Freshmeat, a great source for apps that haven't been updated since the 20th century. Thanks, I'll look into it.

It's a law. Everything on YouTube must have music tracks.

New interface, same scheme.
My phone's been in my pockets for the last 4 years. But the wife and I have had three kids in a little over two years. Go figure...
WoW plays just fine with the stock Wine source (no transgaming thing or anything extra). In fact, I was pulling more FPS on Linux than my Windows machine.
So there, now you can get addicted...

It's like stem cell research .. you could just do it privately, but it's easier to just whine about it.
