Liar. LIAR! I've been to Jersey, they are NOT like the reset of the US. The traffic laws defy reason, their hair defies gravity! For GOD SAKES they STILL LISTEN TO JON BON JOVI! WILLINGLY!
I'm almost certain theve been secretly annexed to Italy. Or maybee they are some sort of seperate Alien Republic.
True. Yet 5% of the total consumer base is an excellent test size, better than most software get. Once they get the kinks out,then expect Apple to invite others to play.. Windows will get into the act by end of year, and most experts expect the individual song prices to drop...
You know what really irks me about this? What about [hitler] times when war IS the [hitler] only option? Do we expect the Germany [hitler] is trying to tell it's citizens [hitler] "Sorry, we beleive that you arn't smart enough to make [hitler] your own desicions without being [hitler] unfairly influenced [hitler] by a recreational activity [hitler] that only a slim minority of the population [hitler] will ever see. Fortunately [hitler] the German government [hitler] is smart enough to make these moral [hitler] decisions for you [hitler]. Don't worry, it's not a big [hitler] deal, it's not like were [hitler] burning these games [hitler] or banning them completely [hitler]. We jus [hitler] want to make sure that you don't make any purchasing decision based on [hitler] some other entities opnions or advertisments [hitler] that don't have the same moral ground [hitler] as your governments [hitler]. /rant
I'm using Gimp on all of my platforms (Windows, Linux, & OS X). Can't beat the price, and it is more than sufficiant for all of my photo-shopping needs.
Didn't "they" say, like 2 weeks ago, that the playstation 3 will be coming out next year? Whatever man. The PS3 will come out when it's good and finished, probably at or around the same time the successor to the xbox/gamecube is released. Until then I'll be quite happy playing my PS2. Enough vapor already.

Of note to some Slasdot readers:
DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT TRY THIS AT WORK.
Hard to believe but it seems that this sort of activity is frowned upon in my worplace. Why they didn't include a simple warning during my orientation I'll never know.
That's nothing. Why, when I was a young lad my parents used to make me wear floppy disks as clothing!
My old man would wake me up at 2:00 in the morning and make me format floppy disks untill 5:00 the following morning and I liked it! I loved it! I used to store the entire ecyclopedia britannica on only 245,037,072 disks and it suited me just fine!
Tell that to them kids today and they won't believe ya.
It's bad enough that Stephen King "borrows" your "ideas" for his "books" and is now "publishing" them on "the" internet, but now you have to "put" up with that "no" talent hack in this so called "band"?
Seriously, what is it like sharing the stage with other talents like Groening and King, and do you find that more people turn out to see the band than hear them?
I agree. I always thought that ol' tux racer was on the far side of lame as far as fun games go. Looks great, plays well, entertains only breifly.
I was upset not to see Gl Tron aanywhere on th list. I'm horribly addicted to it. True, essentially it's an early 80's idea w- late 90's looks, but I think it's loads of fun.
That was MY first thought about the GBA SP. Looks too small for my big hands. I've got a light on my GBA that also serves as a screen cover when not in use and the curent design is easy for me to use. No reason for me to upgrade. I can, however, see the appeal....
Not for anything, but I run X on top of Aqua for apps like Gimp, abiword, and xmms. I'm trying to d-load KDE3 to help mange my unix-y stuff, but I'm not having a whole ot of success yet.
Except, of course, staying at home and playing a game about someone who, in order to protest Mc Donalds, stays home and plays games.
By the way WHEN can I buy the SIMs add on that allows my SIMs to play SIMs? They already work, go on vacation, get dumped women, and kill their pets. Lets go full cirle. It's about time my SIM started spending this money on video games so I don't have to.
Sony will almost always be able to produce a comprable (if not better) product to whatever MS puts out for less overall cost in the console market becasue of 1 simple fact: they roll their own chips. The Xbox is a collection of other companies components in a black box running MS software, while everything inside the PS2 is all Sony. While the Xbox does out preform the PS2 you have to remember the PS2 is a full year older. Sony is not going to get pushed out of the console market anytime soon. Especially when they continue to outsell the Xbox and NGC combined, thanks to the wide variety of high quality games. Personally, I hope all three cointinue to compete. At the end of the day it is best for the consumer.
Competing platforms: Follow the games. Saturn was dead from he get go, barring alien vs predator nothing really special was going on. My ps2 played 2000+ games the day it entered the market, and the library of quality games keeps getting bigger.
Controllers: Good point. You win.
Accessories & Game cost: My network adaptor may have been 2x that of your ethernet card, but I will never have to update it's drivers, it is fully compatable with everything, and I only needed to turn 1 screw to install it.PC games are $50 when they are first released as well, but used games ($15-$30) and "Greatest Hits" ($19.99) keep my software costs down.
Incompatibilities: My PS2 plays ps1 games, ps2 games, dvd's and cd's. I can use ps2 and ps1 controllers.
Mods: If you like I can email you a level I built for Timesplitters, but you obviously didn't spend the $200 dollars for a PS2. Or you can try to play the level using 1/2 of the 400 dollar video card that will be outdated in 1 year.
'Course my PS2 has a limited shelf life as well, but $200 dollars every 4 years beats 2,000 every four years.

Windows version of iTunes is in the works, or so I heard it said on a fairly reputable website....
I can't help but let my imagination run wild with the though of a car that never runs out of fuel but has a *really* rough ride...
