Wii Sports was fun for about 10 minutes and then the novelty wore off. The graphics suck and the music sucks. The game seems like its 10 years old. Sure, the controller is cool, but it didn't really strike me as totally groundbreaking. I've been playing the new Zelda game for a couple weeks now, and it suffers from the same controller issues that conventional controllers present. Camera problems, too many buttons, etc.
AND about The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: it sucks. 1) The graphics are 10 years old. 2) Where are the voiceovers??? The characters make odd squeaking noises instead. 3) I'm 4 hours into it, and the story is not really there yet. 4) Same camera and movement problems that so many older games have...
It seems like the Wii is just a Gamecube repackaged with a new fancy controller.
It's great that open source software comes out patches so often, but maintaining them is quite a hassle - I'm constantly getting security updates for Linux. I guess that's better than leaving your box wide open while M$ takes time releasing a service pack. It's just the nature of the beast.

It's just that I have only heard great things about this game, and had very high expectations for it. When I actually played it, I was disappointed.
Games like FFX, Shadow Hearts, and Oblivion have raised the RPG bar a lot higher for me.
Nothing personal against the Zelda lineup, they seem like fun games. But they just seem very dated.

I want my money back!!
The IDE seemed a little pokey on OSX... Maybe it's gotten better in 10.2?
IntelliJ is the best - I wouldn't use anything else (xcept for maybe vim)
I was extremely disappointed with apt-get because of the UI. It totally turned me off of Debian. Maybe I'll have to check it out again.
I suppose theres RedHat Network. I didn't feel like dishing out the cash for it though.

I've been using Galeon for months at work doing web development (Java!), and I don't think life would be sane if I had to use Netscape.
It's fast, and does some cool things like disable popups, etc. I also dig the Google search boxes at the top.
This little browser is just AWESOME!
My linksys ethernet card came with linux and other bsd drivers. and they worked really good.
