Who cares about the old freaks? How do you think they made all their money on GameBoys in the first place? Mommy and Daddy shell out their $100 bucks and get a GB with a game to shut little Johnny's mouth up!
People keep breeding and there will be more little Johnny's to shut up. Are *you* going to trust some snotty little brat with $300 worth of hardware/software? I think not!
That's no joke dude. My first few CS class assignments were graded that way. I had a teacher in an operating systems class that could look at your code and say, "You Rock!" or "Beep! Try again loser!" in about 5 minutes.
My productivity at work has taken a nosedive because of www.nfl.com, www.gamespy.com, www.digg.com and of course, slashdot!
Now what was I doing again? Oh yeah, Internet Crack: IMDB.com!
I guess you're a gyrrrl. You have absolutely no idea that men and boyz love to believe that they could do the same things as sports folks if only they had the body/skills/team to help them. With video games, WE control Micheal Vick and WE can do what he does. In the US, most of us don't want a NEW game we want Football. We want to believe that if we had the talent, we could do better than the real guys. So, good luck on your whacky idea of inventing something that "takes full advantage of the computer medium." That's the wet dream of every crackpot that starts a software company.
Sports games work because us fanatics are starved for a new season and a new game every year. No research and development on the *concept* required. Just up the polygon count and get the names and uniforms right and we'll shell out our $50 willingly every time and every year.
That's why this is so scary. Madden has survived for upteen years because the product has done what it needed to do(football) with a minimum of innovations. Because it is the top selling and marketed Football game in the country, it could rest on it's laurels many years. And it did that when the competition was pretty pathetic (Gameday?). When Sega finally gave us a worthy game EA decided not to play ball anymore. Soooo, now we'll be stuck with players that don't move naturally and teams that *CHEAT* their aaaaishes off in the 4th quarter again!
I only remember that my pants were down at the time and that I was staring at Morgan's breasts for the whole interview. But I guess I do that all the time anyway so it could have happened anywhere...
I steal pizza for a living! The laptop would be gravy. 'Course, it looks like the laptop in the ad is an Apple Titanium so it would not only be gravy but the whole damn turkey too!!!
Yeah, just leave your pizza boxes out there for me I love it love it love it!
I'm not a serious photographer but I travel here and there and like to post things to my rinky dinky site. I don't like spending a lot of money for things and like worrying about expensive things even less. I stumbled upon a really cheap and ok quality camera that really fills the bill for look-at-me-in-a-weird-country pictures and videos.
I've used an AIPTEK DV3100 for about a year now. It is $100, uses CF modules and has a USB interface for uploading all your pics and videos. It is a quasi 3MP camera in that it really is a 2MP that augments/interpolates to the 3MP if you wish. It is very servicable and cheap cheap cheap! The big minus for this model is no Flash and no zoom for the video.
The quality you get is perfect for the web. I'm finding that actual paper pictures are becoming more and more useless as the years go by.
Check out http://www.aiptek.com for other models that are more full featured.
The video feature includes sound and is not time limited as in other digital cameras. I highly recommend this thing if you're just bopping around the globe and don't want to worry about losing/breaking your $1000 SLR camera. This thing really is a work horse for the money.
And this is, unfortunately for Sony, why Nintendo will OWN once again. The bulk of the buyers of GameBoy type consoles are parents who just want their whiney brats to shut the eff up! They would never be dumb enough to shell out $300 for a neat looking game machine that'll get flushed down the toilet.
Now, $150 plus it plays all the old Advance games? Here you go Johnny. Now amscray!!!
You said it yourself: "The good of the 2-party system."
If other parties come into a position of political power, that will basically take away some of the funding/kickbacks/lobbying from the big Two. There's no way the Republicrats will stand for some other party taking away their fat cat money from big oil, farming, unions, etc.
Check out the debate format now. There are NO third parties allowed to debate in televised functions. Most are side tracked by non-inclusive rules that crush Libertarians, Greens et al from debates. Look what happened when they were dumb enough to let Perot on the stage. His VP ripped Dan Quayle an extra hole to go with all the others he already created himself.
No, waste your vote and go Kerry or Bush. It doesn't matter in the end. It's the Demipubicans that win, not the People.
Um... the *ONLY* question is how does this relate to the transmission and utilization of p0rn?
We all know that all multimedia and data transmission progress on the Internet is largely driven by p0rn. Back before WWW, 2400baud was good enough to exchange a few FIDOnet messages and run some good BBS's. It wasn't until someone figured out that we like to whackit to streaming videos of Asia Carrera that major advances in speed were promoted and made profitable. I can think of no greater benefit to mankind than a high speed download of every Girls Gone Wild DVD to my waiting hard drive at home in less than 10 minutes.
Let's just get real for a minute. If there's no direct link to pr0n, there no purpose for it. DARPA might have invented the Internet but pr0n made it fun and profitable.
If we *really* are serious about the "War on Terror" we should be investigating these technologies now and not when fossil fuels are inevitably exhausted. They're getting rich off our huge demand for oil. What if we could decrease our reliance on foriegn oils by 5 - 25%?
The US could decide how much gas/oil would cost instead of OPEC because we wouldn't need to buy from them. By retooling our farm systems to produce more soy, *we* could become the next OPEC. Texas alone could be converted to a vast soy field instead of the vast nothingness it is now. We could turn those oil pumps into soy diesel pumps. There are acres and acres of unused land in the US that, properly irrigated could provide for the demands of biodiesel.
There is no choice. Eventually fossil fuels will be a distant memory and we'll need the substitute to run the electricty that powers our pornoboxes. Imagine the furor if we couldn't provide boobage because there was no way to power the Internet!!!
"China risks isolating itself if it creates standards that are incompatible with the rest of the world."
What do they have, like a billion people? The United States is pushing 300 million. I think the author is under the mistaken impression that most of the world is 1st World i.e. US, EU, Canada. In reality, most of "the world" is Asian with China and India accounting for a good 2 billion(Don't know for sure but that's close isn't it?) alone.
If China comes up with a standard that hundreds of millions of people could find a use for you can bet that hungry capitalists with bend over backwards to accommodate that kind of market, human rights violations be damned...
But then Captain Kirk and Officer Spock will come down to our planet and destroy all our shiny new war computers. Then all of our fun will be over or rather, "You... can't... wage war........ any more!"
Hell NO.
What'll happen is Peter Jackson will get royally snubbed this year. Then take a prat-fall with KingKong. The studio realizing that he's only capable of directing good Tolkien material will greenlight The Hobbit. Then, only then will the Academy realize the error of their ways and award him a pity best Director for The Hobbit(which will be a pale shadow of what the LOTR was) to atone for denying him credit for these superior movies.
Just the way the Academy works...
Art Wussies... the Art Wussies(Academy) will not let a picture that is accessible to the "normal" Joe win. Not unless the Academy feels that Jackson was slighted in some way in past awards and then he'll get something out of simpathy.
I used to be a pretty hard core Quake, QuakeII, QuakeIII, Blood, etc gamer. I'd play with my co-workers (always during non-working hours...;) until my hands throbbed. Then I went home and had dinner. Then I'd wait for maybe an hour or two and then BAM! hit the gamespy servers for another go at it until 2:00am or when my face hit the keyboard.
Now the thought of doing that sends chills up my pained arms, shoulders and neck.
