Keyboard over joystick for console gaming? Are you crazy? Depending on the keyboard, you have a limit of how many buttons you can press at one time. My notebook doesn't like me playing Guardian Legend using NNNesterJ because of the fact that I like to hold down both firekeys when fighting bosses. However, using a joystick, I don't have that problem.
Further more, have you ever tried to play a fighter with a keyboard? It sucks! Try playing King of Fighters, Street Fighter , or even Mortal Kombat. Even with a gamepad, it's a pain in the ass.
A $4,200 WinXP machine that's been overclocked and tuned for gaming isn't going to be used for anything serious, so obviously when it comes to serious tasks it'd get it's ass handed to it. Of course, I wouldn't want to run Doom3 on a 2 way enterprise server either...
Clinton and Bosnia was atleast justified. We went in, told what Milosovic did, and we took him out. We had an exit strategy and while we're still there, we're not bogged down in street fighting with extreme Islamic extremists surrounded by countries full of Islamic extremists.
Clinton did pass tax cuts, to the middle class. And some to the upper class. Big deal? It's not like they were the biggest tax benefits to the people who needed them the least.
You don't mean that the Republicans and conservative end isn't frothing at the mouth? Haven't you been paying attention to the Swift Boats ads? Listen to a little right wing radio and you'll find yourself some frothing at the mouth.
I find that a lot of problems stem from the fact that they refuse to deviate from the scripts that they're given
I work for a US based call center.
Typically when we're told, "I'm a network administrator! I know what the hell media state: disconnected means! It means something's wrong on YOUR end!" the answer is "Is the PC/Link light on the modem?" followed by, "...no."
It's not that we're not willing to deviate from our pre-determined method of troubleshooting, it's that there are alot of asswads out there who work a sense of apathy towards customer "troubleshooting." Which is typically kicking the modem and wondering why it's not working.
yes. When the Fox lawyer was presenting his case, he said, "We have 80 million subscribers." The judge asked, "So if I get Fox news on my cable service, I'm considered a subscriber?" the fox lawyer said, "Yes." The judge then laughed at him.
Fox News vs. Franken, which was over the whole deal with Franken using the phrase, 'fair and balanced.' Fox was literally laughed out of court and gives us Fox News newest motto, "Fox News: Wholly with out merit."
What do you think the real reasons that console producers want hard drives and internet connectivity for?

There are relatively few 'show stoppers' that crop up in console gaming. Often because they have to get it right the first time. Usually they just reissue the game media as an exchange or with a proof-of-purchase verification.

I'll admit EF1 was too short, but EF1 and 2 did make for some really great Deathmatches. =)

Piro!?
Piro!?
He's not even fucking Japanese!
He's white and from Wisconsin for Fuck's sake!.
AUUUUUUUUUUGH
Just have one of the heads of the KDE project get on a stage at a Linux expo sweating and chanting, "Developers!"
Clinton and the DMCA, I won't forgive.

You mean Denouncing your base!?
That's political suicide.

Yeah, but if it breaks and the manual doesn't discuss error codes, what then? Google? What if google is as clear as mud?
needs more Nevada-tan.
Not the song, but the song played at that time would be, IIRC.
/.'ers, IANAL. I am also not a statician either. ;)

I'd rather see my tax dollars go to work finding the people who make Kelley Clarkson a star.
Yes, parent was a joke, but I saw several replies in this thread that didn't take it as such.
Dean's scream was at a public event, which means that ANYONE could've recorded it. Which means that yes, it is in public domain.
Try something a bit more recent actually.

Not to mention Limbaugh or Savage or Roy Masters...
Why not?
Also, people like to pay more to get the same (or inferior) thing because, of course, in the corporate mind paying more = better product.
Typically that's true generally. Not all the time, but generally. I have a pile of cheap taiwanese boards that can prove my point.
only in the CPU department. I lust after intel because I feel happy with intel's chipset choices. A CPU alone doesn't make a computer...
uh. DDR Extreme? DDR UltraMix2?
They're still making DDR games, development of Japanese software is just on hold.
Game Informer cornered a DS developer at E3 and got him to fess up that yes, the DualScreen is GBC/GB compatable. :)
I was joking. I was joking. I didn't think that I'd actually find a WRC fan on /.
worms take down 60% of XP machines
Microsoft responds with a service pack that does the same.

Cmon microsoft? Where's the work ethic? not going for 4/5? or even 5/5?
Tell that to Marko Martin and Francois Duval.
