The DS has been out for a few weeks (I own one myself) and has appeared on slashdot at least 5 times. Not to mention if you go to a gamestore or best buy one of the very first things you'll see is a display for it. Hell Walmart carries them.
So unless you live in a goddamn cave, there is really no excuse to be so willfully ignorant.
If you really want it, you can always order the japanese version anyway. I had a Sharp minidisc player ordered this way. All the packaging was in japanese, didn't make that big of a difference since these products should be intuitive to begin with.
When we first got Encarta back when I was 15 on our Aptiva, the very first thing I saw was Neil Armstrong's first walking on the moon. It blew me away. I had never seen it and the ability to see videos of stuff like that was amazing at the time.
Alas, as all things go, the internet one upped that I don't really see the point for a cd encyclopedia anymore.
Amy: Kif... I'd love to live with you, some day. But before then, there's still lots I wanna do on my own. [Flickering] What was that?
Kif: Oh dear. I fear the Holo-Shed might be broken again. Well, as long as we don't cross paths with the tele... Oh...
Amy: Look! Spirit!
Kif: And there's Professor Moriati! Jack the Ripper! Evil Lincoln!
Moriati: Right'o, gents, it's another simulation gone mad, so it's murder and mayhem, standard procedure.
Evil Lincoln: Real Holographic Simulated Evil Lincoln is BACK!
Kif: The Holo-Shed's on the fritz again, the characters turned real!
Branigan: Damn, the last time that happened, I got slapped with three paternity suits! Listen up, history's greatest villains, get back into the Holo-Shed before I start blasting.
Attila the Hun: Stop! No shoot fire-stick in space canoe! Cause explosive decompression!
Branigan: Spare me your space-age techno-babble, Attila the Hun!
On the serious side I notice the crap still shows up. Run a p2p app and bam it comes in and once its in they'll use the embeded IE to get more. Solution? Set IE to maximum security with all features disabled. Throw in AdAdware running every few days and the system is clean.
See if the company was smart they'd leave "RFID" out of the documentation because all the tin foil hat nuts are going to freak about their mouse tracking brain patterns or something.
Although now that I think about, I would like a mouse that tracked my brain patters. Free up an extra hand and such.
Excellent... lets throw an off-topic mod in there too?
I mean come on, the poster says Cameron had something to do with T3 and he didn't. It was factually incorrect. I must of offended some jackass that thinks T3 was written by god.
Cameron didn't give us Terminator 3. That was directed by Jonathan Mostow. Cameron didn't produce it either, just getting minor credits for character writing (i.e. he did the original ones so he is the guy that spawned the Terminator).
I'd like to think that nomatter what you think of Cameron at least he was smart enough to not touch T3 with a 50 foot pole.
Apache is the webserver and it has a much larger market share than IIS. Apache has had holes but no where near the percentage of them compared to IIS.
As for Firefox, yeah its got holes. However most of them are because of windows. Something happens, Firefox doesn't know what to do with it and passes it to Windows. Its Firefox's mistake for doing this but its still a bug in Windows that is the issue. IE does the same thing. Firefox on Linux is much more secure. I'd actually be interested in seeing how many exploits there are for Firefox/Windows verse Firefox/Linux. Then the question is raised is this a Firefox issue or a Windows one? *Note - Like I said above, its still Firefox's fault for assuming Windows was safe*

You are a fucking moron.

Idiot. Someone doesn't know what sarcasm is apparently.
Again, this is bad how?

Are these the same walls that prevent the AOL marketing department from getting their filthy little hands on winamp?
Look what happened the last time someone slipped over the wall... *cough*Winamp 3*cough*.

A reverse slashdotting of slashdot? You anonymous coward are a clever one.
Post the links to the sites it targetted, we can finish them off!
Firefox.

More to the point, do the models they used for that game also come with the license you buy for it? That might be worth it right there...
I think you should get your tin foil hat checked for lead, its poisoning your brain.
Maybe they should put a dictionary module into slashcode. So the mods can look up what words mean.
not only does it free up that hand, but your mind automagically goes to the proper pr0n page...
you've read my mind... ba-ba-ching
I'm more concerned about what happens when you get your tin foil hat really close to a microwave.
Yeah damn him for being on-topic!

Nah I post by default on 2 because I'm an upstanding slashdot citizen.
But you're right, with the way the moderators work here I may get a +5 funny.
Son of a bitch!
I don't actually care about the moderation... I'm just bored at work. Double shifts on a holiday suck.
Anyone want to throw a troll and off-topic my way? I've got about 45 points of karma to burn.

Do the mods here even know what the word redundant means?

You are a fucking moron. Pick up a degree in English while you're at it. I know Indians that speak better than you.
AOL user or just too damn lazy to type correctly?
Must be an American...
