Come on it's Sony.. if they were going to be releasing the PS3 this year then there would already be tons of advertisements and articles straight from the horses mouth.
At least one gaming company supports classic gaming.
While Sony and Microsoft are trying to battle against each other with their powerful graphics, Nintendo are making games that are targeted for their fans.
Super Smash Brothers catered for all Nintendo fans and so are upcoming Metroid Prime and Mario Sunshine (which seems to be more gameplay focused then graphic focused).
And now this... I applaud Nintendo for making such a good choice of not letting the past die.
My friend has a Telstra aDSL connection and he gets slow downloads (25-30k/s) compared to the normal download speed (45-50k/s) and not to mention shocking customer support from Telstra (most problems they say "I'm sorry I don't know the answer to that so I can't help you") and lets not forget the recent 3gb download cap.
Oh and the hefty monthly price... you gotta love Australia!! -_-
Ok well I don't need the dole or any support from the government as I work but when around $3 an hour of my hard earned money goes towards tax then anyone would get annoyed.
That works out to be around $100 a week being "donated" unwillingly towards the government and I only get a little of that back on Tax return.
'Essentially, [the federal government] does not see that the Internet in Australia has much of a future as a forum for adults.'"
*cough*Bullshit*cough* But since when does the Australian government talk the truth.. I live in Australia and we have to battle with High Taxes (GST blah) and other crap all the time.
I can honestly say that the government probably doesn't see the Internet for what it really is.. An Information ground.
Sure I agree but how about when the older generation is the public and you are working and when you try to help them out they ask to speak to someone else? Or that person just keeps nodding to everything you say like he/she doesn't believe a word you are saying? What are you supposed to do then? It has happened to me before.. thats a fact of life, some older people just think that if you are young you don't know nothing.
Plus they actually have confronted him upfront about his age.. he is just assuming so having a lawyer would mean nothing.. its only unless they actually start harrassing him at work then thats when he could take it to court.
Oh yeah I know... I'm not talking about correcting the boss as that's a big No-No but what I mean is that if you show them how good you are by, for example, if you work at a computer retail shop try to talk to customers and help them out giving them advice on whats the best product and also making sure your boss is listening as he will not only be impressed but he will see that you are doing a good job.
I always have this and I am the same age as you, Well I turn 20 mid December next year but anyway... I found that if you confront them and show them how much you know and how confident you are at your job then they will learn to respect your level of knowledge. Remember in the business world it all comes down to trying to run a succesful company and if they feel that your age will interupt this trend then that's why they might get offended.
I don't see a problem if you are doing your job and as you said your direct boss doesn't have a problem with you.
I am currently still studying at college but I always do jobs fixing computers on my time off and when the people see me (I look young) they get offended a bit until I show them how confident I am with what I do and then they change there mind.
The Older generation feel that they are more advanced with computers and forget to realise that alot of kids are growing up with computers too.
Yeah P2P is pretty cool.. A friend of mine has started a web-design business with someone in America (he lives in Australia) and they chat through ICQ (I know its not too good but it allows them to get in touch at a small cost). The guy in America does the graphics while my friend makes the templates and programming, the business is going pretty well as well.
It goes to show you that without P2P software we wouldn't have as many online businesses.
That just means that another copy protection scheme to fail. They should pretty much just give up on all this copy protection stuff because no matter how advanced it is there is always somebody who can crack it or find away around it.
Time for a new media or new way around it perhaps?
Slashdot Mirror
Is that really anything to worry about?
I mean having a day last 24 hours and a fraction of a milli-second surely won't alter evolution will it?

A brilliant idea, I'm in love with RSS but having the backup of Google will make it go places.
Then again you never know, every site starts from scratch so this could turn out to be very popular.
The next Google for RSS feeds.
SMS? Killer-App? HAH!
Text based messaging WAP Email
You do the math.
Yeah I know exactly what you mean but that's one of the main reasons I hate my cell..
;)
My Staff always call me up whenever I'm trying to sleep or am busy and ask the stupidest questions heh
I remember around 5 years ago the only people who had a cell phone (or in Australia we call them mobile phones) were rich.
Nowadays I see kids who are 7 years old with the latest mobile phones.
It's all about prepaid, they just allow kids to manage there funds abit better.
Anyway in the future we will still have mobiles but the Net will be a standard on them, WAP is slowly getting more advanced.
I say we give them all the support they need! If it was stable back then, then revitalizing it can't do any harm can it?
I would like to thanks Square for doing this, they are giving everyone an extra view on the Matrixuniverse.
The trailer looks awesome and by the looks of it it seems that the CG rendered world is the reality, and the Anime world is the Matrix or "Animatrix".
Very interesting and I can't wait till it's released.

Although theres one bit that just didn't look right...
:D
When Anakin was riding that animal (rather surfing it) the animation was abit too shaky and Anakin didn't fit in with the CG.
Also did anyone notice the way Padme ran on the sand after she fell off the ship towards the end?
I'm going to lead my one man marble ball rail gun army now, terrorise everyone.. mwhahaha!
:(
Or not.. I don't have any magnets

"Marufuku Company (later Nintendo)"
;)
No wonder they changed their name, but then again if they kept it maybe they wouldn't be accused of being a kiddie company
yeah but it will be called Microsoft Mario Kart Plus
What happens if the computers they are using are running Windows XP?
The time could be off a couple of thous...
we need that in Australia.. I wanna play GTA3 :(
