By the time you get your game loaded, you're already at your bus stop. Not to mention that the games tend to have the long-gameplay sensibilities of a home console rather than a portable system. I won't even get into the portability comparisons between the PSP and DS games.
This is total FUD. While I've never been a fan of the UMD, the latest two revisions of the PSP, out for over two years now, have a caching ability which speeds up load times significantly.
Second, if you turn the PSP off and back on, you instantly resume from where you left off. If your buses actually move that fast let me know where you live, you are quite lucky.
Third, since you are obviously unfamiliar with the hardware, how can you expect to be familiar with the software? When was the last time you played a PSP game? Or are you making it up? There is all sorts of quick software able to appeal to any sensibility.
I recently had my old one stolen that I kept in the gym bag solely for watching movies on the treadmill. I looked high and low for a decent replacement with a high resolution, bright screen, and swappable storage. I ended up buying a used PSP 2001 for $90. Nearest thing I could find that still had a smaller and lower resolution screen was an iPod touch for ~$200.
I think people like you do a disservice to those around them by feeding your bias/ego by bashing things you know nothing about.
This was how I cracked Ultima V. They had a special sector on the floppy(!!) and read code off it, put it in the right place, and then ROT13ed that code.
I traced through until I was past that point, added nops where the read/ROT13 was, and rewrote the exe. I thought I was a genius.
Are most guys that uneducated or dumb? If you do not want any children, get the fricking snip and get it over with. your life is better snipped!
My life is better snipped... now. I have two kids. I had a vasectomy. Great, all well and good.
What if, gods forbid, something happens to my wife? What if I meet another woman, fall madly in love, but it's a deal breaker because she has no children and wants children of her own. I really would prefer not to raise a sperm donor's child. Not a big concern, but the fear is still there in the back of my mind. Reversible is always better.
Lastly, vasectomies have a not insignificant amount of permanent pain. I'm not really in favor of permanent testicular pain.
And no, she wouldn't get her tubes tied even though they already had their hands in there because she was scheduled for a C-section. Of course, she lets me have a girlfriend so I can't complain completely about that...
The key thing to being able to use Vista is to disable all of the graphical trash and the "Wait 500 ms after receiving a click to do anything" registry key. On a dual-core 4GB ram 512-meg 8800 GT system it was horrible to use for me until I did that. It is entirely true that it's only slow because
Apparently you need to enable the "Wait 500ms after receiving a click" in firefox.
but I do like to see this sort of thing, he seems like he is honestly trying to run the government in a fiscally responsible way
Oh, lord you really don't believe this do you? He just posted a 1.75 trillion deficit. $200 billion in corporate taxes is nice and all, but it's like handing a band aid to someone you just shot.
So... why is it that so many of the PSP games seem to be straight-up ports of traditional console games, meant to be played for hours (or at least 30 minutes) at a time, and to pack as much excitement as possible into that time?
How is wishing that the Democrats take responsibility for their actions wishing ill for the country?
Is it better for the country that the Democrats say one thing and do another as in their voting for the Patriot Act, Iraq War, and recent defense of Bush wiretaps?
You were elected as a Republican, for better or for worse. You should either finish your term as one, or if you can no longer consider yourself a Republican, resign. At the next election, feel free to run as a Democrat or whoever the hell you want.
Even though I see Specter as a little squirrelly the problem with this is that terms and elections overlap. If he stays an R he can't run as a D in this election. Therefore unless he changes now he faces losing and costing his constituency a senior Senator.
In theory, a switch in the US to Canadian-style health care systems should allow for lower government expenditures...
Yeah, but then where would Canadians go when they needed health care?
Seriously, there is no reason this needs to be done at the national level. Canada's population is much closer to the individual state level than the entire US. I would prefer the next George Bush to not have such a hand in my medical care.

Well, I found it fit for a particular purpose. Who do I sic my lawyer on?
We'll have to go paintballing before shooting then.

RIP MSDEBUG.
then she's not the woman for you.. and you should deal with those issues way before you become "madly in love".
While I'm a big fan of being "smart" in love, it doesn't always work that way.
They don't want to get their "Real Dolls" and other inflatable women pregnant any more than the next guy!
Mine keeps nagging me to settle down and have kids.

And I will guarantee you the opposite.

Supermajority? (or damn close)
Yes. My $15 a month really feels like rape.
Call me when you've paid property taxes at some point in your life.
It's a google cache. The original wasn't loading for some reason. I swear.
Wrong.
Both sides got us here.
And a universally delivered mood stabilizer makes for a conveniently complacent population. Get your propaganda goggles on for this one.
At first the idea of this totally pissed me off. But then I had a nice, cool, glass of water and thought better of it.
I cared quite a bit. My choice was still none of the above.
Yes, your point was fine and I agree with it. I just dislike saying any candidate was approved by a majority of registered voters.
Turnout was 55% so multiply your numbers accordingly to find out how many voters actually chose.
Ignoring those who found no candidate acceptable seems disingenuous to me.
So... why is it that so many of the PSP games seem to be straight-up ports of traditional console games, meant to be played for hours (or at least 30 minutes) at a time, and to pack as much excitement as possible into that time?
Because you're not familiar with the lineup?
pretty much hard-core conservatives: stop the spending...
So it has come to this. Reining in the massive government deficits is now an extremist value.
How is wishing that the Democrats take responsibility for their actions wishing ill for the country?
Is it better for the country that the Democrats say one thing and do another as in their voting for the Patriot Act, Iraq War, and recent defense of Bush wiretaps?

Thus my term of careful planning.
Only 26% of voters voted for Obama. 25% for McCain.
It is easier to switch providers than governments.
In theory, a switch in the US to Canadian-style health care systems should allow for lower government expenditures...
Yeah, but then where would Canadians go when they needed health care?
