It's only designed to work for X number of days. After that it might fall apart and they know it.
Mars has huge dust storms, it's freezing cold, the solar panels are getting scoured by the elements etc. If they don't get it out now, they might not get a second chance.
Considering that anyone can go to a ROM site and download the entire NES and SNES library anyway, I think this is a great move on Ninetendo's part.
I'm sorry to say but I'm really burned out on most of today's games, regardless of which platform they're on. I don't have 20 hours to dedicate to a title. A lot of times I'm coming in from work, I want to blow off some steam and a round or two of Punch-Out would be right in line with what I'm looking for.
I know there's a big market for the Epic game title, but it's good to see that someone hasn't forgotten that millions of people loved those old school pixelated 2D games.
I wonder if this isn't more of a sign that OSS is making some headway. Linux server sales are way up according to the article, and they compare Unix and Windows servers based on cost.
My understanding is that more major server sales folks who are pushing some Unix flavor are trying to make their money on the Service that goes with the server, not the actual initial sale. In which case it would make sense that you could knock the price down on the Unix server that's running a free OS vs. the same machine that has a 500 CAL license for Windows 2003.
I wish they would have given us number of units vs. the cost of units.
Doesn't seem like it would really bring that much to the table unless you could somehow figure out how to allow users to record the songs from Sirius to their iPod.
Let Sirius get the monthly sat subscribtion, and Apple gets their $1 song cash. That model might make some sense. Otherwise I don't really see any huge benefit to this melding.
Shit, you better call up Blizzard quick. They've been using this warez technology to distribute their game patches. Who knew all torrents were illegal!
I actually went ahead and read TFA, at least the linked one.
Although there was talk of "high tech this" and "required for the future" type crap, there really wasn't a whole lot of meat to the story.
Maybe I missed the link that actually describes what kind of metals they're using, how the pump actually works (it's magnets! doesn't count) and what types of temperatures they're able to achieve relative to other liquid cooling methods.
Could someone please fill in the other half of this submission, this time with less Sales pitch and more Info?
According to Thurrot, MS was afraid someone might try to steal their UI. What a joke. Who the hell goes to Windows to figure out how to design a UI? Hell, if their competition decided to copy the Windows UI, it would only help MS anyway.
So what's in place to keep a dishonest employee from gathering more information than they should and turning around and selling it to ID thieves?
If identity theft is supposed to be as big of a business as we're told, you'd think that getting a few moles inside these companies would be a top priority.
You'd know the person's income, what they purchased, address etc. That data would be worth a fortune to theives, and there's zero legitimate marketing purpose to them having my SS#.
Sorry, but I guess I liked the Hitchhiker's series enough that I'll go see it anyway. Hell, I sat through the new Star Wars series thus far, and that was punishment enough.
As long as there's no JarJar, I guess I won't leave too pissed.
Except of course that Blizzard does simultaneous releases for both the Mac and Windows versions of their games. This has held true from the original Warcraft all the way through World of Warcraft. (Or WC3 if you're talking RTS).
To be quite honest, this would have been a deal breaker for me. I've played so many RTS games, and yet I still enjoy them. Three years of Counter Strike in college was enough to burn me out on FPS games forever. RTS still have a warm place in my heart though. And luckily for me, my powerbook plays them just peachy.
And as parent said, Console games (at least on the GC) seem to be beating the pants off the PC gaming market as of late. Not sure how many rehashed FPS games I'm supposed to give a crap about, but there's really nothing that amazing otherwise. Ok, except Savage. I do miss Savage.
We'll have Bud Light open up for Octoberfest while we're at it.
What a frickin' joke. Unless this movie is a massive departure from the other two, it's going to be a terrible, hacked together joke. Why this would open up at Cannes is a mystery to me.
Glad you posted that link. I went to their page and sure enough, they have wrong info on me and my insurance claim history. Calling them up now to correct it. Maybe if enough people swamp them with calls, they won't be so eager to be in business anymore.
I'm not going to name names, I'd rather not get people in trouble. However, if you'd like to name a few global warming studies that you feel have proven that global warming is a man made phenomenon, I'll be more than happy to have it picked apart. When the peer review process involves hand picking your reviewers, the requirement to cross your T's and dot your I's is severly diminished.
If you really want to look at causes of global warming, CO2 isn't your culprit. Look at methane and a variety of other "greenhouse" gasses. Granted they aren't as common, but their half life in the atmosphere is magnitudes longer, and they have tens to hundreds of times the ability to hold heat in.
Rice patties and bogs are probably the most serious greenhouse gas problem we have, but no one wants to touch the problem with a ten foot pole. It's too politically incorrect to go after rice farmers when we can blame SUV drivers and big business. Nice to see you post your FUD as AC.
I work with said scientists, and the consensus is about nil. Those who's funding requires that they find emissions to be the root of rising temperatures find just that.
For those who work in academic fields, funding means a lot. It shouldn't be that way but it is.
And when a scientist does a study that your funding source didn't like, no more funding for that scientist. Anyone who thinks that science is immune from politics isn't paying attention.
Unless I'm mistaken, car keys that use RFID are two form authentication. So what if they have the "code" for your key. Unless they also happen to have a key that's also the right shape, it's not going to do them any good.
You sir are correct. After your post I called up our Apple Rep and had them recontact corporate. As of now the live satellite feed has been cacelled. Thanks for saving me the trip to an event wasn't going to happen.:)
Actually, because of this/. story there was a lot of chatter as to whether or not it's going to happen. Final answer is, YES. That's coming straight from Apple.

Thank you.
Remind me not to work someplace where they promote "Social lubrication".

I'd buy the console for the old games alone.

You're obviously new here.
So the guy with severely lacking social skills fit right in with a bunch of Engineers? Didn't see that coming.

Douche bag.
If they didn't know what a blast zone looked like they could always walk down to their server room.
Under 50 replies and the story is down. Sheesh.
There should be a cache link requirement for a story to be accepted from now on.

Actually, because of this /. story there was a lot of chatter as to whether or not it's going to happen. Final answer is, YES. That's coming straight from Apple.
I was notified this morning that our University will be hosting a live satellite feed of this event, and our IT staff were all invited to attend.
Not sure what the original piece was based on, but it wasn't fact.
I should also note that the only other times our school has gotten a live satellite feed, they announced some pretty kick ass product.
So it's Windows only and adware. This is nothing like Suprnova.
The parent article is a Troll.
