thats ok, i was being completely sarcastic, because... i forgot about phantom hourglass... minish cap looks interesting though... i'll have to acquire a DS for that and PH....
I'm very touchy about the idea of limiting how many children any individual is allowed to have (within reason),
i never said make it manditory. (look what is happening to china! granted males are prefered there and females are being aborted....) but if enough people do it, overpopulatoin would soon (in geological time scales) return to theory rather than fact.
In general, I think the best way we can help third-world nations, in their long-term interests, is to only help them avoid the most extreme disasters (which galvanize, but rarely truly help in any capacity), and use our power to slaughter the more destructive forces that disrupt them (being careful to avoid confusing violent shifts in power (an unavoidable part of development) with "destructive" matters (ie power-mad warlords)). It's a little like a chick hatching from an egg - left to it's own, the chick will eventually hatch - but it has to be protected from outside dangers, and it has to come out on it's own or it's doomed to be a cripple.
i don't think we disagree there:P

The answer is not to tax our power consumption. If I knew what the answer was, I'd gladly give it, but I guarantee it doesn't lie in taxation.
i'll give you your answer: don't have kids! or have at most two. if every person on the planet only spawned 2 children, the world population would flatline. i work with people raising 3, 4, or even 5 kids, and it makes me sick to think about how bad that is for the environment. if i have children, i plan on having only 1.
i know that this is slashdot, and most ppl here are single (myself included, dispite my most recent journal entry) so having kids isn't likely anyway.... besides, being single leaves you both time and money that you can devote to other things.:)
OK, so i don't have my fingers as well on the pulse of the PC industray as well as i thought i did. you called me on it. i hereby retract my "rest of the industry has ignored" statement with regards to Express Card.
When none of the PC manufacturers jumped onto USB, Apple did. The same with Firewire.
it's this kind of rewritting of history that pissess me off. Apple came to the USB game late. what they did different was that they dropped all legacy support at the same time. USB was intoduced in January 1996. the iMac shipped (with ONLY USB ports) in August 1997.
Firewire (an apple created technology!) took even longer for apple to adopt! it was introduced in 1995, and shipped built-in in 1999. Sony may have even beaten apple to that game!
Hell, I think they should produce more hardware - like a Newton successor, preferably something small and that can slide into a PCMIA slot to do the syncing and charging.
You missed an apple adoption of technology that the rest of the industy has ignored - ExpressCard. No apple computer ships with a PCMIA [sic] slot. The MacBook Pro has an ExpressCard/34 slot, so a PCMCIA sized PDA wouldn't fit anyway.
One way is whether Nintendo makes any money or not on the Wii (within a reasonable timeframe).
By that metric, Nintendo has already won. They're going to sell the Wii with actual markup, rather than taking a loss like Sony and Microsoft, and all signs point to stock shortage.
I'm going to take a turn at predicting the future of the video game market. Nintendo is going to P0wn the FPS market in the next generation. The wiimote has the potential to make FPSs more playable than keyboards/mice. Just watch this video to get an idea what FPSs'll be like on the Wii.

but i didn't look at it until just now... i happen to consider that particular newsletter to be on the junkish side so it's filtered and hidden from my inbox...
i'd like to take this opportunity to plug one of my favorite podcasts: The Word Nerds. at one point they DID have a discussion on homonyms, homophones, synonyms and other similar/often confus[ed|ing] words.
Rumble is unfortunately a necessity for some games, which use it as an important feature. Luckily you'll be able to plug in a GC controller.
Wait, you can plug a Game Cube controller into the PS3?! or are you talking about the wii? in that case, the Wii controller DOES rumble (and has sound to boot!) - though the nuncuck atachment doesn't rumble.
here in the states, FYE is taking pre-orders with a $50 deposit on the system, and $5 per game. i'm 3rd in line for my Wii. i have no idea why, but the PS3 already has 13 pr-orders. O_o
Discussion2 has been in beta for a few months now on Slashdot Initially available only to subscribers, it now should be available to anyone willing to login
huh? as you can see above, i'm NOT a subscriber, however, i've been able to use the beta for a few months! i hated it and have been sticking with the old system... will the old system go away when this leaves beta?:(

for an example, see the iTunes Music Store.
That sounds kinda familiar....
and a decreasing population is a problem how? :)

call dish and ask for one. afaik the FCC says that they need to carry at least one firewire equipped decoder box.
