I like to imagine that Pixar made the movie and brought it to life. While Disney is the monstrous parasite that is sucking all the life it can from the movie and shitting out toys for consumption.
It will do more that that. It will expose your children to concentrated toxic advertising focused on selling to minors only.
And by separating the children to a web of their own your are exposing them to everyone as children. On the web you can't tell who's a dog, but on the G-Web you know where you can find the kids.
Gamespot is a business that relies on advertisers that want readers. If the readers, like you, go away because the reviews are untrustworthy then what good is their business to advertisers.
If Game Co. A get's good reviews because they pay for them, Game Co. B would not want to advertise on the site if all the reviews of their games become immediately suspect?
Would you pay good money for this? Advertise on Gamespot + get good review = Game is Crap.
Because it gets boring A) being beaten all the time by people who are hyped up on speed or B) defeating people all the time that move slower than molasses.
Unless you can pick the server and/or find people who are within your skill set it just doesn't make for a good experience overall.
Playing with friends is different, because you have a real social connection there. That one time that you finally defeated "Mikey" become a socially significant event that over shadows the 300 games that you have lost to him.
Yeah but that's with friends, not with random users on the network. If you are fighting unknown people it needs to be able to match them to your level.
Well Mr king-manio, I don't think is possible that our computer systems could be wrong about you. We will just have to hold you for a few years of questioning.
What your talking about is your customers reaction to a hundred button remote where they desperately want a simple interface for the two things they need most often. The don't want MORE buttons or hard buttons they want a simpler design that allows them to do just what they need with out all the clutter.
With out buttons you can have context sensitive control. On a soft screen there would be a huge MUTE button every time the unit is left idle. And a simple slide your finger down the control would reduce volume. Not having to look for a button or a control because the unit has the correct context in mind is what makes soft panels so good.

If the dialog is that common I wonder how many people are going to automatically accept running this because they are constantly annoyed by the pop-up?
One of the local bars in town has a Wii now. Credit card or a 40 dollar deposit on the controllers. No outside games; No boxing; No 18 rounds of Golf; Must use wrist strap.
That's amazing and not something that is going to suddenly fallout with players.
I don't see this as being that dumb. Why are they getting souvenir coins left in rental cars and found in pockets? I don't ever find money in rental cars.
The coins have a big red flower on them, which is a good place to hide something. The more you know about these souvenir coins the better a place it is to hide. A big red X in plain sight is a great distraction from what every you might want to hide. And they are souvenirs right? That means someone from the US is more likely to hang on to them.
If I knew people who were working in any capacity where secrecy matters, I would want them to send these back for analysis.
Which means, this is not really about having your ipod stolen because the biometrics must be reset. It's about requiring all the music on your ipod to be deleted when you change ownership.
They make it illegal for me to hit you with a baseball bat, enslave you, take your land, use your house. Be careful of what you ask for because violently ousting people who have more, starts at the bottom.
Gamecube has a high resolution mode. There are games that support the high resolution mode and games that don't. People buy the fun games and apparently most people don't actually use the High-Res mode. It's been discontinued on the current models of the Gamecube. Did that split the userbase? Not really because both modes work.
There should be no reason to think a High-Def mode wouldn't work for the second gen Wii. Developers only have to pay attention to the market they want to sell to. Graphics are an enhancement to game play, and if High-Def graphics sell games then why not develop games that work in High-Def mode and "normal" mode.
It's not rational that I have purchased Mario 64 for the N64 and on the NDS and will get probably buy it for the Wii. But it apparently makes economic sense to take my money as much as possible.
I predict that by next June jeans will have larger pockets to fit your iPhone. You will be able to by a jacket that has an iPhone pocket and every drug store will be selling protective wallets and some sort of accessory for your iPhone. Like for instance a clip on ear but with microphone.
The bleak reality is that people who shell out that kind of money for a phone and an ipod have money to spend and the rest of the market will follow.
It was just an MP3 player, not a fake iPod. I'm sure there are plenty of people fooled by fakes, but my point was that there are people that don't know what an MP3 player is. They think that the thing you get to play music while your out and about is an iPod. I don't recall the brand, but my Uncle would literally have said something like, "The iPod I got is a Zune."
On a related note I encountered family this holiday that got an "iPod" but not the Apple one. It was an off brand of some player that does everything an "iPod" does. I kept waiting for them to say it was an MP3 player or in some way acknowledge that it was not an "iPod". It never happened, they literally thought a music player was an "iPod" and that Apple makes the expensive ones.
On that sample size, I can't say it's really going the way of band-aid, Kleenex, or Xerox but I was amazed that it's heading in that direction.
The Government is limited from doing this because they would then be compeating with the other companies that would be providing validation software and design.
Part of doing business in the community is that you have to be a part of the community. If you can't provide a service for people there is no reason you should be aloud to operate. You don't have nor should you have a right to do business wherever you like.
As far as I can tell, if you are wearing bondage gear and have a camera, that gives them probable cause to search everything you own. Does it matter if it's a costume or fetish party? I suppose the law will sort it all out after they search you.
I've enjoyed all of the Backslashes I've seen so far. Mostly they have been stories I didn't catch or wasn't that interested in at the time. A quick overview and some general conclusions about the subject are welcome.
It's pretty close to actual journalism. Assuming these dicussions have any value, a report on the story filtered through Slashdot readers seems warrented.

The people in question ARE the predators.
Right, but being a predator exposes you more to others of your like. A lot of times trouble will never find you if you're not looking for it.It will do more that that. It will expose your children to concentrated toxic advertising focused on selling to minors only.
And by separating the children to a web of their own your are exposing them to everyone as children. On the web you can't tell who's a dog, but on the G-Web you know where you can find the kids.

I'll sell you my car right now for $0.00. Just give me your credit card number and sign the contract.
I'm actually hoping that the Gameboy Player for the Wii is going to be the DS.

Why can't the phone just record your conversation to the memory card and broadcast it later during a normal phone call?
