As much as you Americans would like to believe you're the only country on Earth, you're not. I'm not an American, and I know not of this "First Amendment" you speak of.
I don't want American spam, or spam of any nationality for that matter.
I think it's high time people pull their heads out of their arses and realise that spam is an international problem that needs to be addressed as such.
Hailstorm sounds like something Hitler would have instigated. "Commense viv project Hailstorm".
Microsoft will NEVER have complete control over our data, thoughts, work etc. because people like us exist. The power they do have at the moment will slip away over time because they keep making stupid mistakes and people are just getting sick of it.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall, so goes an old pronoun.

Um, if you actually went around E3, you would have thought twice about saying that. Firstly, Nintendo's booth was always JAM PACKED. If you wanted to play Rouge Squadron 2, you'd be out of luck, people were at least 6 deep around the two demo boxes, and the suround sound booth was too packed to get into.
The same applys for Smash Bros Melee, and infact, all of the Nintendo games. It ws really difficul to move in the Nintendo booth (which was like an expo in it's self)
Sony's booth was similar, with large ques for GT3, though I never had any trouble playing MGS2. It was still full of people though, and though I'm a Nintendo fan, I have to say, the Sony booth was never as full as the Nintendo booth.
On the first day, when they opened the doors to the west hall, I say about 80% of the peoiple entering the show went straight to Nintendo. It was awesome.
Anyway, MicroSoft's booth was a little off putting. On the 3 occasions I visited, there were X-Box demos NOT being used (vacant machines were unheard of at Nintendo, Sony or Square). I played Artic Thunder, and I have to say, i have no interest in playing it again, it was pretty much pointless. Furthermore, I wonder whether the Xbox designers have actually ever held their controllers, because in my opinion, and the opinions of everyone else I talked to at the show, the X-Box controller is the most uncomfortable ever. I venture to say that I'd rather use the original NES controller than the X-Box's. The buttons are tiny, difficult to press rapidly, and D-Pad is just useless.
Anyway, I had a great time, and I could have spent the entire time at Nintendo, as a huge number of people did. Nintendo has no worries for the next generation.
If you never read the books, how can you say the 42 joke isn't funny?

And back in 1994, Sony thought so as well.
Sony does not own the console market. It simply has a larger share than anyone else. If you want to see a market a company *owns*, that market is the handheld game market, and the company is Nintendo.
Miyamoto will never die, he's immortal like Peter Main, and Hiroshi Yamauchi.
You think Nintendo spends billions of dollars on developing only game consoles? Nope! I'm sure they have chryogenic labs and cloning facilities.
On the advertising issue: I pay upwards of US$60 for my games, why the hell should I bare advertising too? (Unless the game scome down in price, which I doubt VERY much).
Worst case senario: You're played Zelda Cubed, running through Hyrule field on your way to whoop Ganon's arse yet again, when all of a sudden, you get Navi saying something to you: "Hey! Listen! Don't you feel like an ice cold Coke(R)? Just think how refreshing that'd be!"
*Shudder*
I'd say that rather than Sith and Jedi being part of the same religion, they simply exist as different interpretations of the same universe.
Much in the same way a Satanist and a Christian would not admit to sharing the same religion, though both are based on the same stories (no disrespect, I'm an Atheist).
I not only gave my religion as jedi, but I also stated that (to the best of my knowledge), i get to am from work via "magigcal flying cloud".
The NZ Census says on the back:"You hereby state that the information provided within is true to the best of your knowledge". And to the best of my knowledge, I AM a Jedi and I DO fly to work on a magical cloud.
I haven't decided on my ethnicity yet, I'll come up with something.
