I am within my rights to charge back everything I've paid them in the last two years, and there's nothing they can do about it. Actually you can generally only get refunds within sixty days.
Personally.. I like cables for hooking up video. Wireless is buggy, snoopable, power hungry, and hard to set up (with 4 transmitters and 4 receivers, how to you configure what displays where?) Cables, while bulky and sometimes annoying have an incredibly easy UI. Plug one end here, the other end there, the things are connected. Want to change it? plug the wire in somewhere else. And until they can beam the power, it's doesn't get rid of the need for wires anyway.
So they're going to reduce the greenhouse gas output of planes in a vein bid to offset the greenhouse emissions caused by running their super computer to calculate ways of reducing the greenhouse emissions caused by planes? Don't worry, another team is working on simulating the greenhouse gas output of supercomputer simulations of jet engines in a bid to better understand and reduce them.
I'm halfway through the comments on the article, and you're the first person I've seen trying to stand up for Comcast. I've never been a Comcast customer, but I find that somewhat telling. Well, here's the key... I use internet and SD TV. No phone. No cable box. SD TV is 25 years old so it's difficult to mess up and like I said, my internet connection is probably less than 3 miles from their offices. I wasn't trying to stand up for them so much as to say if you keep it simple you might be ok.
that you meant "is the wii's popularity playing into effect of how hard it is to find?" the answer to that question is an obvious "yes". the wii is loved by the elderly, the young, the middle aged, the hard core gamer, the casual gamer, while the 360 and PS3 are mostly for people looking for good graphics and games like halo 3. You know what? I fall into a couple of those categories.
And you know what else? Please don't try to speak for me.
I used SunRocket with them until they went out of business. I switched to Vonage. $14.99/month if they can stay in business. My wife doesn't notice any difference and that's the key for me.
360 is still cheaper and has more great games being released in a 3 month span (Bioshock, Halo3, Mass Effect) than any PS3 game. You are right of course. The 360 does have more games coming out than any PS3 game. They are just not developing PS3 games for PS3 games.
I have to say I don't even think the timespan matters.
Precog #3 sees the future that happens when you know what Precog #2 saw which was the future that Precog #1 saw. Yeah, but does Charlie still die underwater then?
Why so slowly? Over here (Netherlands), analog signals have all been switched off in a single night last year, with the final decision having been made only a couple of months earlier. Perhaps because you have about.15% of the land area and 3% of the population to cover?
Isn't it a little odd that if you strip off the first and last digits of the number "16,400", it's 640, as in 'no one needs more than 640k"? Wow! What are the odds... like one in a million.
Every discussion of Vista is FULL of astroturfers defending the OS, and they're always modded up. It's almost impossible to discuss its real flaws because of all the Microsoft-sponsored noise. Actually I like Vista and dislike XBox. What does that make me?
BZZZZZT!!!!
I mean I LIKE XBOX 360!!!!
BZZZZZT!!!!
I mean I LOVE XBOX 360!!!!
(I really don't like Xbox 360.) But I actually am quite happy with my purchase Vista after upgrading my computer one too many times for my, uh, borrowed, copy of XP.
Your tax dollars -> Pentagon -> (Boeing, Lockheed, General Dynamics) -> Budget over-runs, late or no deliveries, CEOs even richer than before -> Your tax dollars down the toilet. Oh quit over-complicating things:
Your tax dollars -> Your tax dollars down the toilet.
Yes yes yes, but you are forgetting the five hours it takes me to figure out it was called "Personalize". Let me guess... you thought it was "Refresh"? No wait... you must have kept trying "Undo delete"!
Families and whole tribes had been split up into separate countries. Rival kingdoms, who had for centuries shared borders and warred with each other, suddenly found themselves redefined as one people. So whose fault is it? They cannot change their borders if they like now? The Soviet Union broke up with a minimum of bloodshed.
All the same, nearly 50 years since the end of the colonial era, is it time perhaps for us to stop blaming the trauma of that encounter for all our problems? Who truly is to blame for this?
To my mind, many of Africa's most profound problems stem from the way Africans look at themselves: all too often, Africa suffers from low self-esteem. Ok, that's my quote.
All too often, Africans see themselves mirrored in the eyes of the west - of those rich former colonial powers who like to regard Africans only as victims.
And, all too often, Africans become the distorted images reflected in these mirrors. And so how Africans see themselves is the fault of how someone else sees them?
Really, you've done nothing but buttress my argument. The whole article was saying the same thing: Colonialism sucked but it's time to take responsibility for ourselves.
I'm sorry, the answer was colonialism . But thanks for playing. You did read your own link, didn't you?

So basically Sony is a company that will straight out lie to you to get you to buy their products. They will say "You will get X", then later on say "X is not important. We will not be delivering X".
And why is it I think all the people who are commenting this way would never have bought a PS3 in the first place?
So, you were "almost" right. Which, makes you W R O N G. And you're somewhat correct (in that fighters do both offense and defense), but a total "jerk" about it. Which make you an A S S H O L E.
Well, you can avoid government interference by moving to some place where there isn't any, such as Somalia. Does that mean that if I like some government interference I have to go to North Korea? Seriously, that's silly.
There are alternatives to using Microsoft, despite what you say.

I'm talking about removing my flatscreen from the box, hanging it on the wall, pushing a button to turn it on, and then select a video source.
Someday...
And you know what else? Please don't try to speak for me.
Pssst... you can wear them the entire time you're in the airport: http://www.earplugsonline.com/
Those earplugs + noise canceling headphones + a sleeping pill if you want = Transoceanic bliss.
Throw in a PSP or DS and a movie or two and you are good to go. Just don't forget to bring some spare batteries.

Internet + SD cable. No box. I think I get great speed because I'm in the city. Never had an issue.
I have to say I don't even think the timespan matters.
There are others, but if you only need one: Warhawk.
Bagging on the PS3 for lack of games is so six months ago...

Just because a father abuses their child does not mean that child can blame the father if they should do the same.
