Fox is biased more than any news source I have ever seen. It was the only TV channel that would cut out in the middle of live speeches at the DNC, just to tar and feather the current speaker.
The more things I hear about the DS, the more it sounds very interesting. I was initally pretty skeptical of the system, but the touch-screen thing really adds some cool stuff.
I can see a Madden with the option to scratch out custom plays with the stylus and Goldeneye with the ability to tap enemies (aiming) and punch in key codes on bombs/security systems for little mini-puzzles. The options are very open!
Um, nobody (I think) has posted this yet, so here goes...
I always thought that linking to your website was a GOOD thing, especially when it's your JOB that's depending upon people visiting your site. If all websites started doing this, search engines would be out of business and nobody would be able to find anything on the web.
Whenever you think of security, just think of the scene in The Terminator when Der Gubernator rips out the steering column of a car to use it. John Connor just flips down the visor, and the keys fall into his lap. "Are we learning yet?"
They want to get it right the first time. I congratulate them for doing the Right Thing and making sure they deliver a rock solid Service Pack for the millions of XP users out there
Dude, you sound like some kind of scripture writer. I can see your gospel now:
In the Beginning there was the Code, and the Code was with Bill, and the Code
was Bill.... There came a man, sent for the Code, whose name was USAPatriot.
I enjoy tinkering in linux, but there's just some stuf that doesn't work.
- I install gaim. No MSN support for my braindead ms messenger friends. - I attempt to compile something with openGL. I then attempt to compile Mesa. I then attempt to not kick the computer. - I try to get a volume widget in the taskbar. I end up with a 10-pixel-high (/exaggeration) widget. - I install Mplayer. If mplayer is open and I try to open another vid file from Konq, mplayer freaks out.
It's not so much the major things in linux anymore, it's a smooth user experience that doesn't have some parts neatly ironed out and others barely working.
I live in a town of 1000 people in Minnesota, about 80 miles away from any town bigger than 20k, and I have ADSL service. It might seem like the boonies wouldn't have access to these types of services, but you'd be surprised.
It's because Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, included BounceX as one of the DirectX APIs for the 'Box. They originally intended it to help with things such as basketball games, but those crazy guys at Tecmo already had another plan for it.;)
I've played piano since I was 6. I took a "real" typing class when I was 12. I've noticed over time that people (friends of mine) who play piano have decent typing skills. I think this is because when you learn to play on a keyboard (dur hurr, pun), you NEED to be looking at the music, so this helps with the "I can just look down" syndrom of hunt 'n peck people.
I've been wondering for a while, is there a DMCA-type law in Canada? I'm not trying to nag or anything, but would you happen to have a link to something like this?
Actually, the "minimum" requirement is usually one that means "relatively playable". Sure, you can probably run the game on a 1 ghz athlon, but it wouldn't be playable.

EA is becoming the Microsoft of game publishers. A console almost dies if they don't get EA games. This is definitely a Bad Thing (tm).

There are some so-called "natural laws". Is it wrong to challenge a government that states pi is exactly 3?

Dude, suggesting Microsoft sell off operations outside of their core competencies would put all their employees out of work.
That's when we insource the jobs back to their native (now poor) countries.
Ha ha, it's a joke, don't write your doctoral thesis on my post, kthx.
Yeah, all of them.
Dude, you posted this EXACT SAME post yesterday. Show some creativity.
That thing runnin' Linux?
Sweeet.
No, it's not the new Kleenex, it's more like the dumb kids who have a PS2 and claim they're "playing Nintendo".
Except that swordmaking takes skill and years of experience, as opposed to running a one-line script.
Dude, he's talking about the people who write the scripts.
Should people go on the bases that their computers arn't protected?
Oh, in that case, stay off 2nd base.

I guess I'll be the one to say it: does it support OGG Vorbis yet??
They're prepping you for the res that you'll have to run the game in. :)
