Well, back in the days of early arcade games, not all games were racing simulators that lasted 1 minute, or fighting games. I'd say bring on the classic arcade games of yesteryear for truly innovative(at the time) and creative games.
Mind you, it had its share of Space Invaders ripoffs and Pac Man ripoffs, but there were plenty of others that have yet to be duplicated today.
Heck, if MAME ran stable and I could get easy access to early '80s game ROMs on the X-Box, that would be reason enough for me to buy one. Forget the new games, I'd prefer to play classic games.
I know it's been to outer space, but wow, this thing is in serious need of a paint job. It looks like something you'd see in an outer space junkyard or outside some white trash's house on Mars.
What I've noticed is that all these hot FPS games only hold my(and a few others') attention for several months at a time.
First it was me playing TFC for a while. Got bored with it.
Then I played Counterstrike for a while. Got bored with the SAME maps over again. Let's play cs_dust one more time!
Then I played Firearms. TONS of maps. Got repetetive, and not even the big selection of guns could hold my interest. Too many maps had small choke points where mortars and grenades kept exploding.
Then I played Tribes 2. It locked up after 10 minutes. Played tribes 2 again. Download weekly patch. Locks up after 10 minutes.
It'll be an interesting toss-up to see if Castle Wolfenstein or Quake 4 will be the next "Trendy" FPS.
We have State Fair computer sales every so often in the twin cities.
Besides jacking up the admission price every year(8 bucks last time), they jack up the prices, or NEVER lower them down.
You know that one game a few years ago that was a hit being $40 when it just came out 5 years ago? You can buy that game there, for $40.
I saw some small-sized webcam dealy for $130, yet when they advertise it on tv the price is significantly cheaper.
Among the must amusing of sales: old AOL floppy disks.
Avoid Blue Star Marketing's state fair computer sales. Most of the vendors are vendors you never heard of(I din't see Tran Microcomputer, a local place that has GREAT deals), selling off-brand hardware at badly inflated prices.

Wait, did it say "Whore" in English or Japanese? If it was in Japanese, that's hilarious since she(shirt wearer) probably doesn't know what it means.

From watching both RH 1 and 2, it seemed that many of the jokes from 1 were used in 2, but on the other character. Such as: Jackie saying "I'm michael jackson, you're toto"(obligatory broken English).
But I enjoyed it regardless. I was surprised to see a few recognizable characters in this since usually in Jackie Chan films, they hire plenty of actors I've never seen as minor characters.
If you want to see Jackie Chan atempt a serious film with some action thrown in(the action starts from a "misunderstanding") go see Heart of the Dragon. It's mainly about Jackie trying to cope with living with this mentally retarded brother.
I'm gonna ask again. Has someone setup a website of received documents(non-confidential or what not) via the virus? There's gotta be some juicy stuff from a Senator or something.
If you want to see javascript abuse in action, go to somethingawful.com and look for an awful link of the day. If there's a guestbook available, you'll see dancing goatse guys and everything. Er, wait, nevermind.
I found Pico and Pine to be quite the easiest shell-based editor/email client. Why isn't it on more Linux distros, especially ones that try to make things easier, like Corel? Correct me if I'm wrong on Corel's attempt to make things a bit easier for Windwos users. I just found it a lot easier to pick up than good 'ol VI.
I had a removable hard drive bay, with out the mentioned switch, and needless to say, I took it out.
I could hear the hard drive power up and down over and over again for some strange reason. I had all the cables on nice and snug, but it just didn't seem to like being in a bay.
I'm no anime freak like a few of my friends are, but I borrowed all 6 of my friend's DVDs of this and really got into it. The redtail ship is very cool looking. The hammer head ship? Eh. I'd rather fly Spike's ship.
Interestingly enough, in one of the episodes, a Betamax VCR was featured that looked like exactly the one my family had 20 years ago(a Zenith top loading model).
The hacker kid "Edward" is interesting since she talks in riddles not unlike "Wheelie" from The Transformers, but less annoying.
Look for crazy Internet references, including, but not limited to a website url that features.MR as the top level domain. I'll let you figure it out where it leads to.
Any chance this could run on my super-old "professional" PalmPilot? I mean, I can't seem to find any software for it since it's PalmOS 1.x(or is it 2?)

Has something like this been used to record security camera footage, for archival purposes? Sounds like it would be perfect for that.

The idea for the "rover" ball in the Prisoner was inspired by a weather baloon. It was originaly supposed to be a robot, but it failed.
Scary to think that The Prisoner technology(cmon, a bouncing ball?) has now come to life.
The irony of this article, and all the articles it links to is NO PICTURES.
Not even the history of computer graphics article has any pictures. You'd think that was a sure bet.
Not to make a bad joke, but I wonder if there should be a spinoff website called fuckedlinuxcompany.com

So will all the names being used be apologzing?

I was thinking pusher + shover robots for the front lines or something
"WE ARE HERE TO PROTEST THE TERRIBLE SECRET OF SPACE"
There's a store based off this, it's called AXMAN SURPLUS.
Need a bunch of Teddy Ruxpin heads?(just the guts) Go to Axman.
And when you are 10 years old with one of those things(PEB), they are a royal bitch to carry around.
I'm gonna ask again. Has someone setup a website of received documents(non-confidential or what not) via the virus? There's gotta be some juicy stuff from a Senator or something.
Shut down the internet?
No more X-10 popup ads!
No more AOL kiddies!

It doesnt' matter too much to me. I got it for free, and it once ate a set of batteries after a day(and I didn't even use it).
Oh yeah? Well I got a DavinCi DV3! Okay, not much of an improvement, but it was 50 bucks.
