You mean I can finally own my own "Sorry! Your session has timed out after a period of inactivity."?!?! AMAZING! How much will this fancy new technology cost?
Most (perhaps all, not sure exactly) Sprint PCS phones don't have user-accessible GPS co-ordinates. Instead, it just relays the raw data from the satellites to the Sprint tower to do the math involved to locate you. Of course, they don't let the end users have this data. I've heard rumors of them having an extra feature in the near future that lets you get the actual co-ordinates from them, but for an extra fee. So for now, i'd stay away from Sprint and look towards other providers.
I've been using Warp Pipe with MKDD for a month now, both the old version and the new. Lag is an issue if you play someone far away, although slightly less so with the new update. The game plays in slow motion in this case. If you play someone in your own state, the lag is still there, but it's small enough to be barely noticible and the game is still easy to play. If you play someone in your own town and especially on your own ISP, there's no lag, period.
True, but it's common enough that something needs to be done about it. Not all cars explode while driving down the street, but they still issue a recall if a few of them do.
2 Sometimes those buttons don't respond- have to touch up to ten times (not sure if I got a bad unit, or this is typical)
This is typical. Mine does it too, and i've read of similar happenings on iPod message boards. Seems to me that Apple needs to rethink their button design.
Some lights have video cameras on them for this very purpose. They're programmed to tell how far back the cars are lined up based on the contrast between a car and the road. They have the added benefit of catching those who run red lights.
It could be the angle or the lighting... but do those buttons look touch sensitive, like the iPod? I hope not. My iPod's buttons are WAY too sensitive. I'd think it would be very difficult to play games with buttons like that.
Almost everyone I know uses online sources such as iTunes (myself included) because it's the only way to get one song you like. No wonder more people are using it than buying CD singles, which are not only hard to find, but cost up to $5 for that same one or two songs. However, the same group of people wants an album, we're much more likely to buy it in the store to get the actual disc and the notes. I don't really think that will change unless CD singles get much cheaper and easier to find, or iTunes/Napster/whatever you use gets significantly cheaper to make buying an album but not getting the disc, case, and notes actually worth the cost.
You need to shop around more for CDs. Sure, at (ripoff) chain record stores, they cost that much. Start shopping at places like Walmart and Target for music... you'll find very few CDs above $15, most between $10 and $12.
Not all of them. I've heard of many reliabitity problems with old CDs, including layers of plastic splitting apart, warping of the plastic, and degregation of the reflective layer. And these are factory-pressed CDs that can barely last 20 years... I worry about my data on CD-Rs and wether or not i'll be able to read those in five years.

Holy shit, you actually eat? You're so skinny, we figured you hadn't eaten a meal in at least five years.
Who can I contact about getting a position with your company after they fire you for playing such childish pranks?

Looks to me like just another standard proxy service. Is this really news?

26 GB is well above average. I'm more like 22 GB myself.

Pffft, who cares about all these fancy-schmancy FPS games? I can't wait for Nintendo Puzzle Collection for Gamecube. Dr. Mario, here I come!
Now I understand why none of your posts get modded up... they're all lame.
That's one of the dumbest things i've heard in my entire life.
You really can get anything on ebay.

You're still a McBitch.

The only reason you're stuck with AOL is because you're a flaming dipshit.
The AAC plugin for Winamp is free. Works quite well, too.

That mouse is my GOD. I'm using it right now. Hell, i'd fuck it if it had a vagina.

...ehh, that should be "diagnosing." Damn me and my dipshit ways. Just pointing that out before the trolls do.
