Just for the record, on the remote and playcenter, you can unzip the installation files, and there's an ini in the top level. There's a key value to have it check if it is an upgrade or not, turn that off and you're golden. Despite what it says, it is a full installater.
Perhaps a little simplistic, and maybe entirely too complicated at the same time, but why not go to all sides? Do what "we" always said we would do and help anyone in time of need? Iran, Iraq, Saudis, Sunni, African, American, Lebanese, Egyptian, Mexican, who cares? If they're at war, we come to help. Maybe not in peace, but we had our own civil war once. If we're gonna stick our nose in it, let's stick our nose in deep enough to at least say we really do care. Our civil war may have ended for some reason, but you can't tell me "brother against brother" didn't have a lot to do with it. Anyone ever stop to think that one of the main reasons some countries hate ours is because we're so selective about whose side we take? Who we choose to defend? Occasionally, yeah, we help the little scrawny "nerd" who can't possibly pack enough punch, but all too often, the motives of this country in choosing our "allies" are laughably transparent. Helping in all sides of a war, if nothing else, would at least give everyone something in common. What worries me about this country is that they're all too often more concerned with "what do we do now?" instead of "what do we do to end it, and make it stick?". Prime example is the theme of "Rising Sun" a quote from "In the Line of Fire"..."While we're worrying about the next financial quarter year, the Japanese are worrying about the next quarter century."
*Just a quote, nothing against the Japanese...of course, the Japanese have been around for a little while
Are you kidding? You are in America. Sony, after all, is still in business. They've been facing some backlash, sure, but Chapter 11? In this country? Give me a break.
"Not to mention the fact that it means fewer calls to you for tech support because they can't get rid of bonzai buddy. Or fewer attack zombies wandering the internet to bring down your company's network."...will no longer be true...
That's pretty simple...I don't have to get it to work. No installation, no configuartion, no troubleshooting. Also, I know exactly what it's going to look like, so add "no tweaking" to the list above. Pop in the disc, turn on the console, turn on the TV (turn on the controller, if appropriate) and play the game. Oh yeah...no reboots either. It just works.
Having said that, I hacked my Xbox the day the warranty expired...
That's funny..."we" didn't do anything. I didn't vote for him either time. Oddly enough, nobody did the first time either. Let's face it...money rules this country, not the people.
Funny thing is, I have an Archos mp3 player that works just fine. Apple doesn't want Real using their DRM; I don't see why anyone would have a problem with that. People here would also scream bloody murder if say I stole your ID card for work and started playing around in restricted areas too.
There are checkboxes during the setup for the icons...and just about everything else. What problems do you have with the interface? Very, very little of it is any different than it's ever been (besides version 3, but I personally pretend that one never existed.)
No, you shouldn't be driving. But that doesn't stop some asshats from trying. I say great...this may not help a whole lot, or solve the initial problem, but I don't see how it could hurt.

so you're thinking...belting over IP?

Could the marines even drive the vehicles in the first one?

Somehow I get the feeling your DVD player doesn't run at multiple GHz either.

but you're new around here, aren't you?
"Now this carp. Wow."

Wow's right. You hit your kid with a fish? No wonder the state's comin' down hard.
Seriously, id is nothing but an engine company pretty much since the original quake. When will you guys figure that out?
Man...and you wonder why people look at us funny...
More Mac users also means...

Seems to me, they're gonna do it this way either way, so it may as well be against this jackass...
Maybe IBM's lawyers are bored?
Dude...I'm pretty sure he was joking. Stop being an ass and find something useful to complain about.
Because then we'd be in Australia. :)
And oddly enough, Microsoft made the OS :)

As any celebrity can attest to, if you don't want it to get out, DON'T FUCKING VIDEO TAPE IT!
You missed...if it's sending the data down a pipe to anywhere, it is considered a wiretap. Which is exactly why this was not ruled a wiretap.

Haven't you noticed yet? They say that about *every* video game that comes out. And movie. And book. And election. This is nothing new...

Yahoo's all fine and dandy in the real world, but this is slashdot. What does NetCraft have to say about it? :)
