You want to publish a book? It's easier than ever to create an e-book with free software like Scribus and OpenOffice.org, and use a service like PayPalDownloads to deliver it.
Or you could publish a book using dead trees with Lulu. I've never tried it, but it looks neat!
I tracked this back when they first announced they were making a movie of the game. On IMDB it was set to have Wes Craven direct, John August to write, and the title was changed from "Alice" to "Dark Wonderland."
Doesn't appear to exist on IMDB anymore. So is it still going to have this name? Because, uh, "Alice" is a MUCH less lame sounding name than "Dark Wonderland."
The event, which Microsoft has not publicized, was dubbed 'Blue Hat' -- a reference to the widely known 'Black Hat' security conference, tweaked to reflect Microsoft's corporate color.
A company with such a tiny marketshare who has just had to abandon their entire CPU line and turned their entire customer's hardware investments into legacy equipment overnight actually has fanboys talking smack about markeshare.
Apple didn't abandon their CPU line... they never MADE CPUs. IBM did.
As far as turning their old hardware into legacy equipment, why don't you take 5 minutes to actually READ one of the thousands of damn articles that have been floating around about Universal Binaries. You can even watch the keynote if you're too lazy to read.
Tell me about it. I got Super Mario Sunshine with my Gamecube and let my wife play it who grew up playing the original Super Mario Bros. As soon as I told her "the little yellow stick controls the camera" she never touched it again.
I don't blame her though. I miss the NES. You only needed to know A, B, Start and Select.
Well, they could go with a half-life style dialog system. Where the main character NEVER talks, but everyone else does.
Actually thats how it currently works. In all the Zelda games that have dialog (and all the Mario games too at that) the main character never talks (except to make grunting noises in Zelda, or to say "Itsa meee... Marrrrrio" in Mario)
How about the Windows Context Menu key? I've used Print screen and scroll lock but never that damn context menu key.
I agree though, I hate keyboards that have a "Open Email" key and a "goto the previous website" key. I had a Logitech keyboard that had a key that opened Amazon.com for petesake.
Surely then the cheapest gaming solution would be the Gameboy advance. All you need is the system, food, and batteries. And you can even get one of the fancier handhelds if you can find somewhere to plug it in for free when your batteries die.
Well, yeah... but I was hoping for either a) a nice beefy 2D side scroller that utilized the more advanced Gamecube or b) a port of the games being released for the ps2.
Whoa. Not so fast. That may be a true statement in the U.S today. If major music distributors such as EMI have their way, number 1 will read like this in the next few years
I think it'll happen sooner than a few years. I noticed at Target the new Dave Matthews CD is DRMed.
"Don't use our easy upgrade system because it trashes your computer" is not a proper fix for an installer. And the "Migration Assistant" is a POS so you're pretty much damned if you do, damned if you don't.
I did clean install with the migration assistant... I'm just now getting my machine to run smoothly again.
But then they'd have to update it to use the Revolution's nifty whatever-is-revoluationary-about-it. And by the time they finish that, the next generation machine is out...
Next time we'll see Mario is in a holodeck! That would be nice, I could punch him whenever he said "Itsa meeee.. Marrrrio!"

Stands for Java. Five guesses as to what the majority of NeoOfficeJ was written in. First 4 don't count.
This Gothika, and you didn't miss much by not watching it.

Thats pretty sad since it was free like 2 weeks ago. :)

Must... not... make... obvious... BSOD comment.... aughhh!
Annie, Beta Coorinator or Annie, Marketing Weasel. Never can tell!
Remember Microsoft names their marketing weasels funky things such as "technology evangelists" to make them sound fancy.
I can't be bothered to buy them, I'm saving up for Daikatana 2-8.

*Looks up from his P2P app* huh?

I personally thought that it added a wonderful dimension to the movie,
Anyone who could give ROTS dimension deserves applause.

The closest I have gotten is playing them on my Gamecube via the Gameboy Player.
But hey, I guess with the Revolution we'll be able to download Castlevania 1-4 + Castlevania 64 (and whatever others I forgot)
They release Castlevania games for the Nintendo portables, why not the Gamecube?
The micro DS would be good, unfortunately the screen would be probably about the size of the stylus tip making Wario Ware Touched extremely easy.

"What we are doing is reducing the complexity."
By adding another product? Wha?

Where's the patch that fixes all the stuff that is broken in Tiger. Quicktime beachballs anyone?
Speed and koolaid.
