As for the PSP, you don't have Burnout: Revenge for the PSP, because it doesn't exist. You have Burnout: Legends. Legends is billed as a combination of the best bits of Burnout 1, 2 and 3. It doesn't include the new stuff from Revenge (Burnout 4).
Now it makes sense. The near-simultaneous released made me think they were one and the same. guess I should read the fine print better. Either way, Legends seems to be nicer than 3. I guess I'll rent Revenge and see how it goes from there.
The screen shots shown in the article look like in-game between-level movie snapshots.
I don't want to see those. I want to see the ones the player sees during the game. The HUD, the 3rd person(or 1st) perspective. What is it with game reviewers rarely showing real in-game shots, instead going for glamorous movie shots, which are not representive of the actual game?
I have Burnout:revenge for the PSP, and it's more or less Burnout 3, stripped down a bit, and not as frustrating. I was even able to get a bronze on the burning lap(with the formula 1 race car). In the PS2 Burnout 3, the load times were frustrating, as well as attempting to drive the F1 racecar without crashing every 2 seconds. While I mastered burnout 2(beat the game and was able to drift real well), I gave up on BO3 due to difficulty, and never getting the timing of the drifts right.
I was just recently in Amsterdam, and of course had to visit a coffee shop. I took the lighest weed there. Mind you, i only smoked pot 3 times prior to this.
So, as I was there, feeling the effects(after having to use "the cone", ie joint roller for dummies), and felt nice and relaxed. I whipped out an issue of BBC Top Gear, and read it. I must say, if anything, weed increased my reading comprehension skills!
For their little car reviews(paragraph or 2), I was able to nicely visualize the car in question.
I think there is a workaround though. According to wikipedia, the videos are hosted by a handful of sites. Just resolve those sites to 127.0.0.1. I can live without seeing another Jay-Z video for the rest of my life.
Is there a stylesheet for myspace.com that filters out those blasted embedded videos? They seem to have spread like a plague for myspace profiles. I want them gone.

Well, I'll be damned. That did the trick. Thanks.

This one is strange.
On my work computer, there is ALWAYS a flashing cursor somewhere on the web page. It doesn't matter if there are no text entry boxes, etc, there's always one there.
The symptoms of this are a lagged up/down arrow key movement. You can't go up and down until that cursor is in the opposite side of the window.
Also, intermittently, paging up/down doesn't work, it pages down, but then instantly bounces right back up.
Yet, this doesn't happen at home. This is 1.0.6. Wish the download&install updates from within the app worked. That has never worked for me.
What this looks like to me, is they sent out someone to buy some random electronics at AxMan.
After that, they took pictures and did the science fiction documenting approach(as seen in Star Trek tech manuals). You just point to a random, tiny point and give it some technical gobbledygook name. Put this all together, and it looks convincing.
The more I read this website, the more I'm starting to see the fun fakeness in it.
They could just call it the H. They could have an elaborate ad campaign saying the vehicle that was once hated by the community for its gas-guzzling ways is now eco-friendly. They just won't mention rollovers, parking problems, visibility, etc.
I'm sure we'll see a movie in the near future where someone with a pda just hooks up a USB cable into the slot, and away they drive. It will have a bunch of numbers flashing on the PDA screen and in 3 minutes, it unlocks.
Or, maybe people will leech power from it. Hook up a USB hub to a parked car and power a light or something, just because you can.
I guess this wireless router would be good if there was a contest going on for how many people you can stuff inside a phone booth(with several teams competing), all with wireless devices.
Where's the trigger buttons on my PS2 controller? It seems every game console had nice true analog buttons except for the PS2. Those analog triggers make for nice gas & brake pedals.
I don't see what the fuss is about. The NES I believe had a 3-tier package system, (light gun + exercise pad + maybe ROB?), and nobody complained.
I do miss the BBSing days. It had a stronger sense of a local community, restricted by local area codes, something Internet-based communities will never achieve.
It seems the PSP is doing more and more non-video game stuff, and i love it.
Now the question is when does that USB keyboard for it(makes it look like a blackberry) come out? That seems like an essential accessory to get with all these fun homebrew apps.
With wireless connectivity, that + keyboard would make a nice email checker when I'm at a coffee shop. Great timing since my Handspring Visor(which looks like a pong machine compared to my PSP) just went kaput.
If people were willing to pay enough $, the panels would be flying out of the factories. But using silicon for LCD screens is a whole lot more profitable.
I blame Mad Mike(West Coast Customs) on "Pimp My Ride". He insists on putting as LCD panels as possible into old, broken down cars.
I think he once put a downward facing LCD panel in an undercarriage for one customer, so he can watch tv while working on a car.
In Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, The Field Ops class (ammo guy) on the Allies side is black
You also forget the field ops in ET is the guy who tosses the flare grenades to drop an airstrike. If he doesn't get out of the way after tossing said grenade, he's dead as a red-shirt.

Why don't other console makers follow the example of Atari, which opened the 7800, Lynx, and Jaguar
Because they want to succeed. You don't want to follow Atari on ANY count..

Growth rates in some territories was staying high, said Mr Mauldin,
//guess the show.
He said this while laughing and slapping his knee. William b Williams then agreed with him.
A few minutes later, Bobby Bittman came on stage and said "HOW ARE YA!?!!?"
IIRC the Neo Geo was $600, just for the CONSOLE. Games were an amazing $200 each.
Yeah, that sold well. And that was many moons ago.
Makes the Xbox bundles a great deal by comparison.
I read that subject too fast and thought it said "Hebrew PONG".
Does the ball only go from right to left?

Perhaps the next generation of mail servers will devote 90% of its resources to filtering out spam, 10% for storing the rest(being legit emails).
Yes, the future is not how much mail you can store/process, it's how good your spam processing is, to save those 2 legit emails from grandma.
My dad would like that. He would watch Vikings games muted, but listen to the radio commentary with his trusty 'ol transistor.
the porn industry will be the first to widely use this new technology.
And look what technologies it has helped push into the mainstream: DVD, video cassettes, etc.
Have a program recreate an image using hotlinked images downloaded from spammer sites, reduced to 1x1 images.
Sure, it will take 20 miuntes for an image to show, but think of the fun! Mosaic time!
Wait, was that already done?
call these new BBS documentary parts PODCASTS!
