It's probably not too far off to say 99.9% of Windows crashing problems are due to operator error from installing bad drivers (from other manufacterers), installing bad hardware, installing crappy software.
So I buy a piece of hardware (say the newest ATI video card) so that I can play my games. It causes blue screens because the people that programmed a bad driver. This is my fault how? Is it my fault for wanting new hardware? Is it my fault for not having enough time to program my own driver for every piece of hardware I buy?
Make sure to place all your computer monitors as close together as possible (ie on the other side of the cube wall). That way when someone presses degauss it will degauss the whole office!
Awesome movie. Anyway, I believe this was the first film to be 100% digitally filtered. The whole movie was shot in the summer where all the grass was green, yet the movie was filtered in a way to make it look like it took place in the dust-bowl era (ie brown grass and such.)
Unless I had seen the documentary on the DVD I never would have known.
I always loved to play as Scorpion (I think he was the one that did it) and throw people. He says, in his worst WWF tone, "Oh! I'm gonna throw you over there!"
The Gabriel Knight series and the 7th Guest had my favorite endings. I'm not sure if I agree with world 8 on Super Mario Brothers being a "cool ending."
Its pretty damn apparent that this article is a joke. I mean, look at the webpage its from. I could tell you it was just a joke by hovering over the link and looking in my status bar. Really, come on editors I know its late at night but you could at least TRY!
I remember Myst being advertised as a 7th Guest killer, with better graphics and such. I got it home and low and behold, it was a slide show! And ever since then, everyone else figured slide show games were the way to go.
If anything were to kill adventure games, it would be the "slide show game" genre.
I hope not. Didn't the Gameboy Advance SP JUST come out? Maybe the announcement will be actually acknowledging the fact that the Gamecube is capable of online game play?
At least give us a Mario game other than Sunshine!
9 times out of 10 though, the MP3s on KaZaa aren't 320bps. They're usually 128bps, and thats NOT CD quality. I can tell that, and I'm NOT an audiophile.
When you compress a digital file, or even an analog signal for that matter, the result is not a copy. "Near CD Quality" is not the same thing as "CD Quality."
After reading a bunch of these comments, am I the only Slashdotter that still buys CDs? I download an MP3 of a song I like, and a few more from that artist. If I like the songs, I buy the CD.
I would never pay for MP3s because the quality isn't as good as a CD, plus I feel like I should get something tangible if I pay for it.
Also the "I don't buy CDs because nothing original has been released in the past 5 years" response is a cop-out. Newsflash: Britney Spears isn't the ONLY person who has released a CD in the past 5 years... look around there are a few gems out there, you just have to look places other than MTV.
And if you REALLY don't want to support the RIAA, just buy all your CDs from CD Baby. They may not have the artist you're looking for, but they probably have an artist who sounds a lot like em.:)

That is, except for the online Final Fantasy games, right?
How do you get iQue from "next-generation video game machine"? iQue is based on the LAST generation's technology, NOT the next.
And why would Nintendo release a system in Japan that they pretty much already released years and years ago?
Seeing how its CVS not CSV, shouldn't you say "he should have chosen XSL?"
I never tried it, but couldn't you get the original Metroid on Metroid Prime by using an Action Replay?
No, we'll just start seeing "Speed enforced by satellite."
They do, you just have to download it seperately.
clicky
I'm lovin' the iTunes, but I have 3 complaints.
1. If you're previewing a song and click anywhere else in the iTMS your preview stops playing. Very annoying.
2. I can't get iTunes to work at work, probably due to my firewall. It claims to get the proxy information from IE but I don't think its working yet.
3. Half of the bands that I look for aren't on iTMS. Most of them refused to participate. Again, very annoying.
I'm pretty sure Link To The Past will be on the Four Swords GC game that is slated to come out shortly.
Max couldn't slow down time for everyone but himself. His aiming may have been normal speed, but he was still slow-motion.
Realistic games are boring. They may look neat but they get old quick.
Any of the soundbytes from that game are tolerable except:
Feeling.... looooooonely?
God I hated that!
Uh... a month or two AFTER release?
But I thought Half Life 2D was coming sooner.

I mean copy as in duplicate. As in you can't distinguish the copy from the original.
I don't see whats so confusing about it. If you take a WAV and compress it into an MP3 its pretty damn easy to see that the 2 are not the same.

MP3s are compressed, they aren't digital copies.

Here are 2 tips on how to spot a Slashvertisement:
1. The submitter's name is "a reader"
2. The article praises the site's design, when the site's design looks like it was done by a five year old.
