Who cares about the console cost history?
What matters is if it's competitively worth the cost today compared to other consoles and PC's alike, not to mention if you have the money to spend on it in the first place.
While I'm of the opinion that just because little of it can be seen doesn't imply that it must not have happened, I must still say that it's strange that this particular building isn't under better surveillance that they can barely catch an entire plane flying into it clearly.
What's the bet that one of [riaa.com] the companies [mpaa.org] that make oodles of money [apple.com] from content [bpi.co.uk] are behind this?

Hey hey, now wait a minute here... HDTV is still a new technology, and the discs and standalone players are barely even out yet. How can they be so sure HDTV will *still* not fall in price like basically any other maturing technology in time? And what's this about PS3 too expensive? Console gaming != PS3. There's that smash hit Wii from Nintendo according to E3 reporters, and of course the Xbox 360.
I call rubbish, and find console gaming more interesting to keep an eye on than ever before. Some upcoming games have me wondering if it's cinematic trailer or in-game footage. And the amazing part is that they're priced for the home segment; well, possibly besides this PS3 then.
By the way, just to pre-empt some silly remarks, I am not directly talking about *this* movie (then you'd obviously have to pay in advance), but about securing their future a bit better as a group who don't just keep pumping out overly amateur content.
The only search engine with less traffic than Microsoft's is AOL's, and a number of more obscure ones.
Yahoo is receiving more than twice their traffic, and likely ad revenue potential as well.
There'd be a lot to win for Microsoft if joining forces with Yahoo, but I'm not sure Yahoo would sacrifice their image. If their managers have any sense, they know it's important to preserve your identity, especially if you're quite far ahead.
This just looks like a cry for help from Microsoft's side, now that their second (?) "Google Killer" with "Live Search" (a very idiotic name too; why not "Microsoft Search"?) has probably failed just as bad as their updated MSN Search they did a few years back.

I feel GW Factions is "massive" enough with 12v12 battles now. I think the great strategy depth in GW would be severly wasted if more than 24 players would face each others. Even in guild combat with 16 players total, you really wouldn't like to think out strategies covering, say, 10 more.
Actually, something interesting I've noticed when checking out WoW, is that when doing quests, you usually do them alone or with just a few people. In GW, you basically always do them with parties of 8. Then I really have to wonder if the sense of "massiveness" really is that much better in WoW. And in cities, there's no special difference, as those are shock full of people, also in a unified world, unlike WoW's aging "realm" architecture.
GW however has a PvP system that many believe are much more intricate than what you get from WoW. It's in many cases a tactical real-time battle game set in a fantasy world. And believe me, there *are* suspension in GW when playing a GvG game with your guild mates.:-) I always exit these games with pumped adrenaline levels, and that's good enough tension for me.:-)
Yes, it's the usual rule for Internet boards: those disappointed are vocal, those not play the game or are satisfied in other ways and simply don't post. One is making a big mistake if judging a game on forum response. The only thing you'll see is often just more or less disappointment.
Those doubting me can check out the official WoW boards. That's the most popular MMO in the world, and among the most popular PC games right now, period. If one don't think it's a ground steaming from the flames there, one is sorely mistaken.
A.Net is trying to force everyone into PvP, and they seem to be of the mindset that everyone wants to PvP, they just don't know it yet.
Huh? Factions offer the new faction system to help your guild, Alliance battles being a merge of PvE and PvP, along with elite missions, *and* also challenge missions with high score ratings. That's 4 things alone right there, with most of these PvE gaming styles not even existing in Prophecies.
The Factions map is however much more used than the Prophecies map, with the outposts and PvP and PvE areas alike being much more condensed. So there's essentially less running around in explorables and shorter distances between the missions and quests you can do.
(only six missions were actually necessary in Prophecies to complete the game).
I think most players however agree on that it's the missions that are the most fun, not the explorable areas, so I can't really see how this is a *down* side. I personally got *very* tired of the long ways you had to travel through in Prophecies (either via missions or explorables), and much prefer Factions faster level progression and closer areas (i.e. my map comment above). Earlier getting to level 20 means earlier being free in what you want to do, instead of being nannied through a long storyline like in Factions.
I also prefer Faction's looser skill reward system, where all skill rewards in Prophecies were preset by the designers. Now you get to purchase them yourself, and the skill rewards are adjusted to make them much easier to purchase than before as well.
I also haven't noticed many problems with monsters in Factions; in fact, a lot of the content is playable with AI henchmen, which is an indication of its simplicity. "Hard" stuff may need 1 or 2 retries with a human party. Big deal.
the only way you can play certain high level areas ("Elite" missions) is if you are part of the Alliance holding the related town, which requires these Faction points.
Yes, however this is obviously offered as an incentive to play the game.
I would say Factions is an enormous disappoint. At guildwarsguru.com/forum you can find many, many people who agree.
Of course, because people satisfied play the game and don't really post as much positive things on a forum.:-) For the same reason, it usually looks like a new driver release is super bugged when looking at a driver discussion forum, but that's because basically only those disappointed or having problems post.
Hmm, if you're saying Swing is algorithmically more complex than a native UI, you better have something to back it up with. I have a hard time seeing why this should automatically be the case for a framework that is responsible for drawing an UI.
That an organization fighting for a noble goal suddenly is a body functioning a bit like the FBI in their abilities to search packages without police warrants or suspicions of crime.

Hm, I thought radio stations generally had contracts to broadcast their music.
:-o
Are you saying there are other reasons they keep broadcasting crap music and calling it the latest and greatest, than ties with music companies?

This is why I think people "invented" emoticons :)
:-)
"People" invented it?
Smiley lore by Scott E. Fahlman.
I wonder if it's just me who find it a bit tragicomic that you need a hack to play backups but not just any downloaded ISO's.
The obvious follow up question would then be why you're called an SUV at a gym? :-D
Can anyone give me a good, preferrably online, tutorial/introduction to RoR?
:-)
Being thorough isn't really a disadvantage; I'm not looking for a sloppy "learn RoR in 2 days" intro.
I thoroughly enjoyed e.g Bruce Eckel's free online books for C++ and Java, as a hint of what I'd be looking for.
Is there anything good out there online?
By the way, just to pre-empt some silly remarks, I am not directly talking about *this* movie (then you'd obviously have to pay in advance), but about securing their future a bit better as a group who don't just keep pumping out overly amateur content.
If you have to pay for the movie, they'd get a better economy to hire better actors and possibly get an overall more professional touch to it though.
:-)
Voila, the point of movie production companies.

Should be "Prophecies" here, of course.

And the infamous Janet Jackson boob spike just manages to sneak in. ;-)
Damn, there goes my idea for Nisplipia, an alternate reality where celebrity creatures with permanent nipslips roamed the world. :-(
personal violation by the state
So MPAA belongs to that state now?
That is what I'm worried about.
That an organization fighting for a noble goal suddenly is a body functioning a bit like the FBI in their abilities to search packages without police warrants or suspicions of crime.
