They can still use the printouts and faxes, too. If you watch some of the old school QB's like Peyton Manning, it seems like he refuses to use anything but the printouts.
I drive a Subaru WRX/STi, and I've been pulled over once. When they realized I was over 40 and not a 17 year old with a souped up car they got really disappointed. I didn't get a ticket but they did say that my license plate frame was crooked.
Apparently EA is allowing you to buy the content for $20 for NBA Live. This is a highly touted feature of the game and is most useful at the beginning of a season. If the original owner sells the game back to Gamestop soon after release, Gamestop is going to charge $54.99 for it. So the full version of the game is now $74.99.
What bothers me most about this is eBay sellers. These people can open boxes and take codes and sell the games as new. Additionally some poor sucker who buys a game from an eBay seller doesn't know if the codes truly used or not.
Pretty shitty out of EA, but it's been equally shitty out of Gamestop to run an unchecked pawn shop business for the last 5 years.
Cedega is the most unstable, buggy, and alltogether awful gaming product on Linux. It has done more to hold back Linux gaming than anything I can imagine. Why should a developer waste any resources when "Cedega allows you to run Windows games in Linux!" Newsflash: The games don't FUCKING WORK.
Transgaming brags about all these great results on their website but the sheer number of workarounds and hacks to get a game to play are unbearable. And what's worse is that the games, once installed, randomly crash, screw up graphics, display incorrect fonts, lose mouse control, can't position correctly on the screen, takes an inordinate amount of Microsoft software to even function... BLAH.
I bought (and still pay) for Cedega because of their promises of Civilization IV stability. Nope. Will their tech support help you? Nnnnope. Will Fixraxis ever consider putting out a Linux binary? Why should they? Transgaming's site just brags and brags about how well Civ IV works under Cedega. Now take a look at Transgaming's forums and see just how successful their product is at running Civ IV: it isn't.
Add Transgaming's SHIT license and restrictions (We steal from Wine. We Do not GIVE to Wine. And don't even think about adding Cedega to your distribution.) and you have a complete turd of a product.
Cedega's major improvements to their software in the last two months has been: Interface improvements and a patch for Guild Wars. That's it. The end. I'm not just asking for Civ IV support either. There's scores of games that are supported by edega that just don't work. Just check their forums.
If this is the future of gaming on the Mac, there is NO future of gaming on the Mac.
Our hospital bought one this year. It's to keep some of the Rx techs busy in Pharmacy and not on the floors for deliveries. It's an automated system that can keep track of which stations need refilled. So, instead of using a person to fill the bins, the robot fills the bins.
Except the robot can't fill narcotics.
And he has a rather difficult time getting around.
And he still has to have an Rx tech escort him throughout the hospital.

Men! Do your wives complain that your manhood just doesn't measure up? Slip your woman some VSC and in two to three weeks your woman will be wondering what she was complaining about!
But this is really test, isn't it? I mean how many people have wanted to have Cloud, Sephiroth, Aerith, Cid, Cid, Squall, Cid, Cid, Cid or Cid in a game again (aside from Kindom Hearts... ick)?
Well, here's Square's offering to do just that with arguably some of the most popular characters in the franchise. Maybe they'll do this again, maybe they won't, but at least they're giving people the opportunity.
The furniture store my wife work at uses 802.11b wireless monochrome-screened barcode guns for inventory/zoning/price checking. I've seen these types of guns at WalMart/SAMS Clubs (actually... I had to use them. Eeek). I was, of course, trying to break the thing to see what it ran, and I eventually rebooted it to see it ran a very fast derivative of Red Hat.
I was shocked. Wish I knew who the company was that made them. Neat.
I called his last week at the number he left at his domain registration. I didn't believe it, but I also wanted to prove to myself I didn't believe it.
He was pretty stunned that anyone could call by the tone in his voice.
He stuttered. He kinda laughed.
"I was told not to, uhm, tell anyone about that information."
Oh, so you don't know who the founder is, or what their contact info is?
"No, I only set it up for them."
You don't have an email address with which I can get in contact with them?
"No, I dont have any inform... I can't give it out."
Will they be disclosing any of that information on their web site?
"I don't know. I think so."
So again, I guess I fell for it a bit, but I had a good laugh, too. Some of the article titles were hilarious.
What's there to report on the handheld gaming industry? There's:
Nintendo
The end. If Sega can't do it, about the only other competitor who would stand a chance would be (hate to say it) Microsoft. They are the only people who could stand to lose millions upon billions of dollars for five years to get a foothold in the handheld industry. Sony doesn't care. Palm/CE devices stink for gaming - too much dough. Phone gaming eats it.
Nintendo is all there is. Who knows how they are treating the developers due to this fuzzy monopoly - their handheld division might be the Nintendo of the late 80's.

Sounds grea
As if this couldn't have worked out better for those pining for a DRM future.
Are we licensing music? Truly? Then if I show that I bought this album in 1985 am I licensed to download the song?
Oh.
They have the lying skills of a twelve year old.
Can't they make more pure profit by selling the rest of the game... I mean wait.. "DLC" in the marketplace?
Article: 13 pages! Oh, good, some content!

And he still has to have an Rx tech escort him throughout the hospital.
So... the savings are, uh... negative.

A pre-worm article
A current worm article
And a post-worm article?
Essentially three times the FUD, bashing, turfing, and... well, slashdot.
Well, here's Square's offering to do just that with arguably some of the most popular characters in the franchise. Maybe they'll do this again, maybe they won't, but at least they're giving people the opportunity.
Very good work detective. Especially since the page you were referring to has disappeared. Guess they were just too slow.
I was shocked. Wish I knew who the company was that made them. Neat.

Yes, Virginia. There is a West Virginia.
Is the only difference between this needless device and an Xbox the cost - and maybe the fact that Microsoft is 'losing money' on the Xbox?
Instantly, the story was rushed to the forefront of the other waiting stories. I can see this put to use:
WarCraft IV Announced; Microsoft Sucks!
Matrix 2.0 Details; Bill Gates hit in face with pie
NPR reports bin Laden dead; New Microsoft IIS bug found
Ah, Slashdot.
