Try playing tennis without ever letting your arm rest to your side inbetween sets. Your arm will literally detach itself from your body and strangle you to try and stop the agony.
I will go ahead and boldly declare that there will never be an HDMI dongle for the ps3-lite. To do so would require a digital interface be present for the dongle to plug into--this interface itself would be just as expensive as putting HDMI on there in the first place! That's all HDMI is.
Did you read my last sentence? A satellite falling out of orbit requires both gravity and atmosphere, or an improper orbit (too slow for it's altitude). So no, "ultimately it is" not " gravity"; it is the combination of gravity and atmosphere.
Bah, I don't see the use. That verticle space is used regardless (collapse everything and you just have a sea of white). What slashdot needs more than anything (though of course I already have this fixed with a grease monkey script) is collapsible comments.
I don't think so. Gyroscopic sensors don't take up much room--hell there was even one (granted I know you need more than just one for full 6-degrees of freedom) in a gameboy cartridge.
It has nothing to do with gravity; if that were the case the moon would have hit us billions of years ago. It is because the orbit is relatively low and there are tiny amounts of atmosphere present, which create drag on the space station and slow it. When it slows down out of the proper speed for maintaining an orbit, then gravity becomes a problem.
"How many people will use card readers on a console? Doesn't everyone use USB flash drives these days?" Neither my camera or my phone accepts USB flash.
"some xbox games had 720p and I doubt development costs were that much more, as even less had HD sets for the xbox" Every game that did had poor graphics. Anything that had good graphics couldn't be rendered in 702p fast enough.
"Sony make it a also a PVR!" Wouldn't work--it would have to be able to record shows as you played games. This would mean that developers couldn't count on for instance a minimum harddrive performance, and possibly some cells of the processor wouldn't be available either.
I don't think he was saying it failed be cause it was CG. I think he was saying it failed because it was directed by a games shop and not a movie studio (I still take issue with that as we can look and see that movie studios do no better when they tackle video games).
In financial systems dealing with millions of people they can typically all interact with each other. In Blizzards case, aside from the account system itself, everything is broken down into separate "servers"--these scale almost linearly. Want to add 1000 more people? Throw on another server. A thousand more? Throw on another. In systems that aren't disconnected like that it might be: add a thousand people? Throw on another server. Add another thousand? Throw on 4 more servers.
Wow, so as long as I run a company that never expects anything but losses I'm on top of my game? Whether the company expected it or not is not the only factor.
Ahh, what I was looking for was Olber's Paradox. Let me ask this, why say the only way to explain this is the big bang? If black holes exist, where's the paradox?
I understand that there is a "proof" that there aren't infinite stars out there in the universe. It involves something along the lines of "but the sky would be all light." Can anyone point me to the original?

The kiddie image is not recent; it started when the Genesis version of Mortal Kombat had blood and the SNES version didn't.
Gamespy Arcade hadn't been done before? Oh, you mean on a console.
How many FFXI players use PS2? A lot. So yes, the harddrive does count.

Norrath? I guess at least you didn't say Sosaria.

"prices the insurance companies can charge" (emphasis added)
Did you mean 'must'? Or, rather, is this a minimum or a maximum?
Are you sure he wouldn't be cashing in on years of his career?
I don't know if you realize this or not, but Microsoft has started selling virtual items as well (on xbox 360's live).

Why don't you take your own advice, cash out, and invest in the things you said they should?

Funny, I never saw the word "dimension" in the bible.
