Hmm.. Since the guide entries don't need a different acting style the way normal speaking parts in a radio play does, DNA's audiobook work ought to have been used as a replacement for Peter Jones.
Cable service in Ontario from @Rogers is ~CAD$49/month. That gets me about 200-250k/s downloads and 45k/s uploads.. Not to mention an awesome news server with excellent retention.
I've heard that the quality of service does depend on where in the province you are though..
Situation: I was addicted to caffeine and sugar, big-time. Also I ate take-out every day and weighed 270lbs.
Solution:
I stopped drinking 3 litres of pop every day. After 36 hours, the migraine went away and I had no more physical need for caffeine.
I weaned myself off of sugar over a month by drinking Kool-Aid with gradually less sugar addedd. Once I could handle that, I switched to 2 litres of plain water a day.
I learned how to make stirfrys (and a few other quick/easy things) and stopped eating takeout.
Result: 14 months later I've lost 70 pounds, eat healthy vegetables every day, and no longer drink pop or coffee.

it may take the resources of a corp to bring it to market, but the article makes lone inventors sound useless.. if there weren't any, the corps would have no one to fund.
I love dead tree programming books. And O'Reilly is the only one who seems to deliver the kind of books i like. I don't want to reference a book on a secondary monitor.:/

Hi there,
I would like to make a couple of points regarding your Dirty Dozen entry for Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo Revival.
From the DD list:
'The "special moves" involved in playing this game have names such as "psycho crusher," "devil reverse," "head press" and "somersault skull diver," according to the directions.'
You've listed the special move names for a single character, who (as far as the game story goes) happens to be the evil dictator that the street fighters are trying to overthrow. It only makes sense that an evil character would have evil move names. Note that other characters have nonsensical special moves like "crazy buffalo", "yoga flame", "final atomic buster", "mexican typhoon", etc.
'Children who play the game hear characters say things like, "My fists will have your blood on them" or, "You are not a true warrior!"'
Children who play the game do not hear such things. No one hears them. You've listed a couple of quotes that are printed on the screen if the player loses a match to two certain characters.
'One version, called "survival mode," requires children to kill 100 people without stopping.'
Nothing in the manual or the game itself ask children (or anyone else) to kill their opponents. It's a martial arts tournament. When you defeat a character, the game says "K.O." which means knockout, not "they're dead".
Now, given all of these points, I still might not give this game to a first grader for christmas. However, by making the game sound worse than it is, and by making inaccurate, inflammatory comments like "the children hear things like 'my fists have your blood on them'", you are hurting the integrity of the Dirty Dozen list. The whole point is so that parents can make informed decisions about what toys they should or should not be considering this christmas.
I encourage you to make revisions to the SSF2TR entry so that parents can see the whole picture. (ie including the silly move names, removing the "children hear" bit, and change killing to knockout.)
BTW: I agree that knocking out an opponent is still violent - there's just no need to trump it up to killing.
Must be a lot of people running win2k without turning off (or patching) IIS.. I read this story and noticed that ZoneAlarm recorded about 450 attempts in the last 10 hours.
A big thank-you to the cps2shock team for promoting responsible emulation. Capcom has been *extremely* fair with the emulation community (going so far as to distribute legal cps-1 roms with the HotRod joystick), and it would be a shame for their hand to be forced. So emulation nuts will get to play earlier cps-2 titles, and Capcom will still be able to sell machines like Street Fighter Alpha 3.

It's fantastic. I don't understand how the US can be lagging so far behind though.. Shouldn't they be cheaper and faster then us?
I saw it at a used bookstore with Walter's face on it and thought "huh, guess I'll read it".
It was really, really bad.
I bought mine this morning.. Any newsstand along Bay or Yonge ought to have it by now.
My name is in different spots between the so-called final PDF and the newspaper version in my hands.
WTF?
Games about shoveling the dead naked bodies of Jews into ovens: Not OK.
Hmmmm....
Could the Source engine's physics model be useful?
Maybe every time you used the shovel a warning woudl pop up saying that you were committing a hate crime.
Katamari Damacy sure is awesome... But once you've made the moon and unlocked the three eternal levels, there's not much to go back to.
:/
I didn't feel compelled to get all of the presents or comets.
It is sort of relaxing to bust out an eternal level and just roll around picking stuff up at leisure.
The first pirate version to be leaked was the French version.
I just grabbed mine at lunch. Thankfully the office is close to the EB in the Eaton Centre (Toronto, Canada).
All told it took 9 mins from getting in line to leaving the store, but just wait until the after-school crowd gets in on things...
Hmm.. Since the guide entries don't need a different acting style the way normal speaking parts in a radio play does, DNA's audiobook work ought to have been used as a replacement for Peter Jones.
It's so awesome that Douglas Adams already recorded his part.. I'll be listening with a tear in my eye. :)
(bit about 'Wild Wild West')
Hmm.. No, I think I can safely say that I blocked it out of my memory.
As long as I don't watch it before I die, no one will ever know that I saw it!

"Excess sugar", not ALL sugar. That *does* mean candy and colas.

The episode 1 trailer was not attached to The Matrix. Especially not any early screening of it.
.. but doesn't it seem a little strange that this comes in the wake of september 11th? Who's pressuring them to discontinue annonymity?
