That looks like it might just be some screw-up with floating points. There was a similar problem with Google's built-in calculator. Granted, they probably should have been a bit more careful with their code, but this does not seem to be a case of being bad at math.
... why bump keys are making such a stir now. I don't mean to sound like an "I heard it first" snob, but bump keys have been around for quite a while. Why the sudden resurgence of interest?
Look for misspelled items. This relies on 2 simple truths:
1) A lot of sellers either aren't too good at English or aren't too good at proofreading 2) Most searches performed for items on eBay are spelled correctly
If you look for the misspelled items, they'll be the least viewed ones, and hence the ones with the fewest bids, hence having the lowest prices.
They even have the N64 in that picture on the first page of the article. Hopefully it's not just due to sloppy picture-taking, as would be the case here.
Three different types of controllers, and one of them being held backwards? Great way to show off your product (the chair).
I'm really trying to figure out how "sore thumbs" counts as a "public health problem".
Seriously. Guitar players actually develop calluses because of having to press the strings, and none of the pain associated with learning to play guitar has been considered an issue. This Is Not News.
Any task repeated often enough comes to feel like that's the "correct" hand.
Gotta agree there. I'm a leftie, and I've been one my whole life, but I've always used computer mice with my right hand. I wasn't even aware that people did it the other way until several years after I was already quite comfortable with it. I've tried switching to the left hand a few times, but it just feels awkward.
Yup. I remember way, way back in middle school I tied a stick of RAM to my backpack. The only difference now is that somebody is trying to make it fashionable.
I love RPGs. Super Nintendo was, and still is (in my opinion), the best console for RPGs. Final Fantasy 4-6, Secret of Mana 1 and 2, Tales of Phantasia, Star Ocean, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Evermore, Earthbound, and Super Mario RPG, among others, were some of the best video games I'd ever played.
When the N64 came out, I naturally expected the same quality and hurriedly bought it. And guess what? There is not, to my knowledge, a single traditional RPG for it. Quest 64? A joke. Paper Mario came close, but no cigar. Zelda? Good game, but still not an RPG in the traditional sense.
The Gamecube was a little better, but still not quite hitting it. Tales of Symphonia, Skies of Arcadia, and Phantasy Star Online were all pretty good; but Arcadia and PSO were just Dreamcast ports, and Symphonia is being ported to the PS2 with added features.
But my complaint isn't limited just to RPGs. My gaming has shifted heavily to the PC, because, owning only Nintendo console (foolishly), there's just not enough quality gaming coming out consistently. At best, it's a decently fun game every few months.
Oh, and let's not forget the DS now. Every game that has come out so far is--let's face it--pretty bland. The two most entertaining games are Mario 64 DS and Zoo Keeper, but both are ports of existing games (Mario 64 and Bejeweled, respectively). They've all just used the touch screen as a mere gimmick, too; where's the innovation?
Whereas the PSP not only has several great games (Lumines, anyone?), but also vast homebrew capability. Skimming Slashdot every day, I've seen probably half a dozen or so articles about neat homebrew PSP projects; the only one for the DS is DSLinux, which is barely even out of its infancy.
Will I choose the Revolution over the other next-gen consoles when it comes out? Maybe. Will it disappoint? I wouldn't doubt it. How I choose my next console doesn't alter my point, though: after the SNES, Nintendo has failed to impress me time and time again.
There's actually a subdivision of pedophilia known as ephebophilia. Ephebophilia refers to an adult's sexual attraction to adolescents, whereas pedophilia, strictly, refers only to attraction to prepubescents.
I remember using NetZero before, and I did something (what, exactly, escapes me) where I popped open taskman and hit 'end task' at a specific point during connection -- or something -- which allowed me to have free internet access without any ads. It worked great for fullscreen activities like Diablo 1 and Starcraft (shows you how long ago I was pulling the trick).
This remake of Battlestar Galactica has been constantly touted as just a drama, except set in space. While it does seem more human than most spacefaring series I've seen, I don't entirely agree with that statement; nevertheless, the tackling of said religious issues fits into the image that they're trying to portray.

Richard Bartle, the father of MUDs (and by extension MMORPGs) tackled this issue four years ago: http://www.gamegirladvance.com/archives/2003/07/28 /not_yet_you_fools.html

Is that the one where you raise Indians? I don't think I've played that one.

To be more accurate, happiness is just a balance of the right chemicals in your body, which can be adjusted with drugs.

Recently somebody also created a Doom roguelike game.
