    I just read your original post.

    You're officially my hero.

    Hah....you had my hopes up...bastard. True, a modded xbox does only support the old SMB.

    AMEN!

    Lack of SMB is the only thing keeping me from switching from XBMC to something that supports HD.

    If Neuros only supported HD then I'd keep an eye on this latest development for some kind of SMB support...but without HD it has no chance of competing with XBMC.

    Flash was huge before 2005. v5 may have been when things started to take off, I don't really know...but Flash definitely had the majority of the market well before Youtube and Adobe came around.

    References a page on Macromedia.com which now only shows 2006 stats but I don't see why they'd post a blatant lie. In 2004 Flash had well over 90% penetration in US and Europe.

  6. Re:An honest question: on FF XII Re-make, New RPG Announced By Square/Enix · · Score: 1

    For me, the card game made 8. I liked 8 too, but I didn't like how they moved away from anime characters and I didn't care much for the story line. So, I don't think it was a great final fantasy, but it was a great game (as all Final Fantasys have been).

    And yea, you're spot on... 6 was the best....would be very hard to top that.

    I really like XII so far though.

  7. Re:An honest question: on FF XII Re-make, New RPG Announced By Square/Enix · · Score: 1

    The real answer is that there is no one special appeal. The games themselves are high quality and always have been (with the exception of X, yea that's right..I said it. 8 was better than X. :P )

    But seriously, they're just great games...people know if it is a Final Fantasy game then many trust the brand enough to just buy the damn thing without waiting to read reviews.

  10. Re:Bias on A Glimpse Into The Long Development of Final Fantasy XII · · Score: 2, Informative

    I gotta say, I somewhat agree with your statement about the characters....it all seems kinda, blah.

    The game itself, I love except for the fact that I have to do 50 hunts to be able to do freaking sidequests and get decent weapons.

    But, the story line itself....it seemed REALLY good the first half of the game, a lot of build up...and then it seems like the writers just lost their way and it got real blurry with a bunch of stuff thrown in at the last minute..."He has gotten the sky fortress Bahamut!" WTF???

  11. Mine does this! on Dell Laptops Have Shocking New Problem · · Score: 1

    My work laptop (an inspiron 6400) has this problem.

    I've been shocked a few times and have gotten memory parity bluescreens at least twice.

    HD has bad sectors too.

    Was already going to call in a support request this weekend when I have time to have the damn thing replaced.

    I could be wrong, but my understanding of the bill in question is that it makes the transfer of money by a financial institution for the purpose of online gambling illegal. Not the activity itself. Most of the breakdowns of the bill on poker forums (often by lawyers, sometimes not) arrived at the same conclusion.

  13. Re:So let me get this straight on Netscape Dumps Critical File, Breaks RSS 0.9 Feeds · · Score: 1

    Because of abstraction (the lower level XML library is what would retrieve the DTD, but it'd only receive the raw XML data to be parsed/validated) the request for the DTD almost certainly doesn't contain the referrer. Even if it COULD contain the referrer, there's no real reason why it should IMHO.

    Right...because EVERYONE is getting sub 4KBps download speeds...that's why BitTorrent is so popular?

    Do you really think that maybe, just maybe, it's not something they can do for you...but something on your end?

    Nah, couldn't be that.

  25. Re:So what? on New Mono 1.2 Now Supports WinForms · · Score: 1

    My previous comment had nothing to do with C# being better (I really only said properties because that's my main beef with Java and I've seen it mentioned a few times before...though I don't have much/any real java experience).

    I was replying to "And undoubtedly, Java will follow soon =)" but I guess you were talking about Ruby's syntax which from what I understand (which may be wrong) doesn't seem to buy you much beyond the functionality of a field wrapper in getter/setter's.

    IMHO, the value of properties isn't apparent when writing the code (though it is nice to have both get/set blocks in one parent block for the property)...but it's apparent when using the code.

    Either way...4 mouse clicks? man, I'd kill myself if I had to touch the mouse that much....but I guess VS.NET 2005 has me spoiled. :)
