I don't think the used game market is a drain on the industry. I'm much more willing to pay $60 for a game if I know that I can trade it in or sell it for $40 - $50 if I don't like it or beat it right away. If I know that I'm only going to get a couple bucks, I'll be much more reluctant to pay full price.
I think Fat32 solved the 2GB problem. I had a Windows 95b machine that had 2 and when I upgraded to 8, the only problem I had was with the BIOS. A firmware update fixed that.
If you are doing 50 and the speed limit is 50 and you are in the left lane, you are doing it wrong, unless you yourself are overtaking someone in the right lane.
You should be pulling over to the right lane and getting out of the way of the faster traffic. That is why they have signs saying slower traffic keep to the right.
I think it would be better, as you could use all the digits on one hand, rather then just your two thumbs. It might take a little getting used to though.
My experiences have been different in Canada. I fought a driving without undo care and attention I got when I rolled my car on a back road. I didn't beat the ticket, but I had it reduced from about 200.00 to 15.00.
My brother fought a speeding ticket that he received based on an eye witness and won that.
I really want to be a part of your world. Around here I get asked to do stuff such as "Can you install Microsoft for me?". Um, OK. What do you have now? "I have Windows, but I need Word."
The only other option is to buy a Mac, "but you can't play games on a Mac".
That is normal. These are really intelligent people that spend all day on a computer, but use them to do reports and budgets.
I agree with this. My brother is 6' 8" and drove a 91 Integra. I couldn't believe that he would fit in that car comfortably until I bought it off of him and found I couldn't even reach the pedals with the seat all the way back (i'm 5' 11") There was no where near that leg room in my Jeep.
Heck, as for hauling the family around, my kids find it easier to get in my car then to climb up into the Jeep I had. My 5 year old (tallest in his class) needed help to get into it most of the time.
The only thing I miss about my Jeep was the fact it drove anywhere. I never got stuck with it in the winter, and I could take it down to the old fishing hole without problems.
LOL, depends where you live. I think the peak of the rave scene was about 2000 where I live. After that it was mostly a heat score. Still some very underground parties from what I hear.
No crash, but it did take me a while to get a paycheck. I was doing a stint with the government at the time, and the payroll software wasn't "Y2K Compliant". Took almost a month to get my first paycheck. Felt like I was making excuses telling my landlady at the time "I can't pay you rent right now, because of the Y2K problem" hehe.
As others have pointed out, rental stores also got them early and some Blockbuster employees were permitted to rent them before they were made available to customers
Actually, the Blockbuster here encouraged employees to borrow (not rent) new movies before their release so they could be informed when customers asked questions about the movies.
Hey, Print Screen is useful if your are a developer or developing manuals, as you can copy to the clipboard what is currently on the screen, or use ctrl prtsc for the active window and paste it into a graphics program. And Pause is useful for pausing the screen on bootup, so that you can see important info before it disappears, as well as other uses when using the command line. Break is useful with the command line and with debuggers. Scroll lock is handy with Excel. But I agree with Num Lock, I don't think I've every turned it off on purpose.
I had it explained to me by a Jehova that "days" really means age, or an unknown period of time. In the first day there was only earth, then in the 2nd day there were dinosaurs and so on (something to that effect). This person even gave me a book that explained this. It just goes to show, that if you talk to enough people, you can find someone that has an explanation to "prove" what was previously said and refuted.
I agree with you, Angstrom^ and also disagree with Kurtz comparing laughing at a guy calling tech support with a teacher laughing at a child learning to read. People that buy computers or work on computers should be expected to learn about their computer. It's funny when they call in with a question that is answered in the manual or found out is some other easily accessible resource. A child cannot be expected to just know how to read and can't be expected to go and find out on his own how to read. They are on two totally different levels

Did they market that as a feature you get with a PS3?
Yes.

Look up the XFPS. It allows mouse and keyboard to be used with consoles.
Our 120 GB and 80 GB fat PS3s are working, but the 40 GB model isn't.

Only if you have sex as much as you golf.

Chariots of the Gods by Erich von Däniken is about that, IIRC.

1 drop of water isn't much when it falls on your forehead, but I believe the Asians have a torture method based on it.
There must be a loophole for someone that arrived with the first explorers/settlers?
she was the best damn tape recorder I've ever seen

Err, yeah. Maybe they can drive from LA to NY for that meeting, just so they can stay in touch.
