  1. No kidding. Saying that it's had a stellar record in the US is somewhat less meaningful when it has only been in commercial use for less than 2 years.

  2. A great point to make.
    Remember everyone: Windows is always bad. Don't worry about your poor security habits - you're probably fine.

    This argument? Really? Yes, and every person driving an automobile stops at each and every stop light and always yields to peds...oh wait, they don't.

    And guess which one kills more people every year?

    I don't see why myspace and youtube pick up the creative commons licensing schema....this is exactly what CC was created for...

    While it might look like this is a feint to extract more contributions in the cable vs. DSL battle, I suspect that cable providers wouldn't mind using this legislation to degrade competing VoIP services either...

    Very good point, I could see Comcast doing this very thing

    In the end, I don't think this two-tiered model would work for all companies - if you have superb local content, its going to cost you. If not...well, fend for yourself...

    Very true but here in America the idea seems to be that parents shouldn't have to actually parent nowadays.


    So true.

    um can you say N64 Goldeneye??? Everyone always left it on the default control style (1.1 Honey IIRC) but if you switch to 1.2 Solitaire your skillz go through the roof. it used the analog stick to look around and the c-pad to walk/strafe


    N64 Golden Eye brings back good memories...

    I'm not a huge fan of console gaming relly...GT4 hasn't left the PS2 since I don't know when.

    Bring one with PVR cabalities and you might catch my interest...

    I think the real beauty of this is that GAIM is going to reap benefits as well as Google.

    agreed on most of your latter points.

    and to clarify, i was born early 1981. I had an early NES but was lucky enough to have my grandparents give me an Atari 2600 - I spent equal ammounts on both machines.

    Nintendo has, and continues to, provide a great gaming experience on all levels.

    Sony and Microsoft based consoles not so much - they have their winners - but as most people are pointing out - look at the controls (even Nintendo has bowed to this) things are becomming more complex.

    The market is demanding this complexity - not your everyday entry level gamer or mom or dad. Kids are growing up with this more complex, semi-reality facade game and thats what the scene is going to push.

    Things just aren't what they used to be.

    You got it.

    I provide support for Windows 98SE - XP and Mac OS 9 and X.

    Each have their different quirks, menus and commands.

    From a support standpoint - if I need someone's IP address - Windows 98-ME needs to run winipcfg. In Win2k-XP, ipconfig needs to be run the command line.

    At least if someone calls with Linux I know all I have to do is have them open a terminal and run ifconfig. No matter the distro.
