There are 3rd party memory cards that are capable of being hooked up to a computer. One can hook this up to his computer and download games or whatever and then hook up the memory card to his VMU and copy them over.
I love Google, but I hate the idea of patenting a search algorithm/implementation
Well then how selfish are you? You love Google but you're opposed to them trying to make a buck from the technology for which you love them. You'd rather they didn't patent it, and someone like Lycos could come along and say "Thanks for doing all the research Google, this technology will work great in our new search engine".
And you know the masses will all go visit Lycos and click on their banner ads, because instead of wasting money on "research" and/or "development", they've been spending their money on ads on the sides of buses.
And then Google will go bust, and all their workers will go home and have no money to put food on the tables of their families.
But it's ok, because patents are bad, because Slashdot said so.
I looked at the site a bit more, they're not removing the original ads and adding their own, but they are sticking their own ads on the bottom of the "tv screen".
So the original broadcast is still intact, there's just some extra crap at the bottom.
I'd like to look at it myself and see what it's like, but I really, really hate RealVideo.
Half-Life came out on time, about a month before Christmas, which is supposedly the optimum time to release a computer game. That N64 Zelda game came out at almost the same time.
Look in the bottom right corner of the red screen you get when you first start the game - the version number should be written there. Not that it matters, WolfGL will only work with the shareware version, not the full one.
Once I was designing a web page for a company, and put all the company's competitors' names in the Meta tags. A few months later we got a nasty letter from one of the companies I'd named threatening legal action. Not wanting any trouble, I changed the tags accordingly.
While legally I don't think I did anything wrong, I still can't take the moral high ground here - I was trying to trick people into visiting a website they may not have been interested in.

Why have Sony never sued the owners of www.sonypsx2.com?

They can't be serious.

I prefer The Onion's choice for Man of the millennium: Death
And were you, like me, disappointed to find out this story wasn't referring to ultima online scientists?
You know, it's really hard to kill three people and wound eight with an automatic handgun if murder is illegal
Wait a minute, they already made murder illegal. I guess it didn't work.

Does no one read the articles associated with slashdot news stories anymore? They're distributing it for free.
Did you read the article?
"Netscape Communications has yet to
produce its fifth-generation browser, and it doesn't expect to release a trial version
for another two months."
I guess "trial" is c|net's word for "beta".
