Resident Evil 1: Entering the first room with the dogs. The view is low to the ground as you enter and stop. You hear a new sound -- a strange clicking sound. Before you take a few steps in, a black shape lunges into frame from behind your perspective and starts eating Jill's face.
Couldn't agree with you more. This was the first moment I remember ever when playing video games where I literally jumped. Loved the game... loved to play it in the dark after midnight when the house was silent.
Agreed... Bill Gates could just use a chunk of the $$ he received from Warren Buffet to pay this fine:-P Nobody would even bat an eyelash. It's going to a good cause, right?
Can you imagine Chuck Norris diving behind a car, punching in his 8 digit pincode, standing up and firing... ducking back down, punching the 8 digit pincode, then standing up and firing again?
Are you the guy that puts all those $0.01 items on eBay?
The other big question would be whether Ebay will allow people to pay with Gbuy!
This question will be vital in the Gbuy / Paypal war... if Google can tap this market share... I predict they'll be the #1 payment service within a year after.
Purchasers can outfit their online avatars with digital renderings of slim-cut T's and dresses modeled after real-life merchandise.
So is their going to be a way for real-life shoplifting to occur too? If so... I'm in! Otherwise, there's no way I'm paying real $$ to outfit an avatar.
But of what they have listed there... 1991 was by far the best for me... Super Mario 3, Sonic & Gameboy pretty much encompassed my childhood. So much so that just within the past year or so my wife and I went with a blast from the past, getting a Ninendo & Sega Genesis off eBay for cheap. Long live the classics (or at least what I consider the classics)!
"The other thing I've been convinced of for a while, is that games are too long and that they cost too much. It's so hard for me to play a twenty hour game, because I've got kids. But, kids go to bed, I go downstairs for an hour, I play a game, no sweat."
I have the same problem... I love the twenty hour games... but there is absolutely no time in the day to play them.

To be honest, this field reminds me of a common situation I run into when developing... Management supplies the ABSOLUTE MUST-HAVE fields to be put into the the SQL backend... and so I develop the website to with that field... and then they never use it.
I have never seen this used on Slashdot... and it's not mentioned in the FAQ that I could see.
How does a story that gets tagged as "duh" even before there are any comments posted get onto slashdot? Save these stories for ZDnet, Business 2.0, and others...
At the Big 10 University I went to... we had online videos of the classes available... but they were mainly designed for off-campus students (not on-campus students). Yet, I noticed in the classes that did have the online videos... that the in-class attendance was much lower... and students were missing out on the in-class interaction cause they chose to skip and just watch the vids. I for one, tried those online vids, and didn't like them. I get much more out of the class when I can interact and stop to interrupt the prof if I have a question.

Ok ... slightly off topic ... but can you believe Harry Potter is going to die?

Just as long as Google doesn't replace Slashdot with GDot ... I'm thinking they're ok.

How do scientists find the inspiration for the latest in surveillance and defense technologies?
... not insects.
I honestly thought it woulda been the latest video games

power failure during the two second installation process could permanently incapacitate or "brick" the device.
Reminds me of a Windows 98 installation I once did.
exits the body through preexisting orifices
... as opposed to the alternative!
I'm just glad it exits thru Pre-existing Orifices
Not sure about present day ... but in 2003 Hitachi had one at .3 square milimeters
Maybe this guy? Although it doesn't say it was an artist/magician?
The 26-by-13-millimeter smart pill, about the size of a multivitamin capsule, would go in and out natural orifices and report on everything in between
And we were worried about the government wire-tapping our phones?
But she stressed the importance of excluding information employers wouldn't want to see.
One student chose a picture of himself shirtless holding a Miller Lite can for his profile photo. He's on the baseball team.
Another belongs to the "My cell phone is my best friend when I'm drunk in Kent" group and lists skinny-dipping as an interest.
I always thought these were good things on a pro-athlete's resume?
I only got to paragraph 8 and I started to fall asleep.

That was the most difficult google search I've ever done ... Gnu Privacy Guard
The first chapter, appropriately titled 'Cryptography Kindergarten' is a good read for those who are public-key cryptography challenged.
So basically 99.9% of users online today.
Sony's priorities are so outta whack right now they'll probably make sure they file that lawsuit before they release the PS3.
more like: "If you bathe regularly, you are more likely to get laid"
I wonder if that's my problem?
