I should hope more people would buy a TG16 before a Q.:p
Though it never fared too well in the states, the TG16(PC Engine) was the most popular console in Japan for a long time, and its got a lot of fantastic games if you can find them.
If you're gonna make a joke about an older system try the Saturn
It's not a double standard.
Any CD-R manufactured in the US is given a serial number that has the potential to be traced.
The Ukraine is printing CDs that would be untraceable, hence the gov't want to extend its protective eye over foreign manufactured goods, and if they don't comply....push huge taxes and tariffs on them.
Assuming that most companies are smart enough to have the documents for their website saved on a local machine in addition to their webserver, then what does a defacement really do to them?
It may momentarily make them look stupid, but it doesn't cost them anything to fix it, just reupload.
The upper management might not see this as much of a problem...for instance, if I owned a store, and some kids kept putting up posters that said "You Smell!", I could just tear them down (or leave them and let potential customers think that I smell). Its not worth the effort to put up a system that prevents the posters from getting put up in the first place.
Just fork over money to Microsoft, and they will provide you will access to an ultra-secure passport server, so your clients will have nothing to fear.
.NET does not necessitate being part of passport. Microsoft has done a horrible job of explaining exactly what.NET is, and I don't think the confusion will help sell the idea. I still find a lot of.NET to be hazy, but I do know that although Passport is being presented as inextricably linked to.NET, they aren't...its just Hailstorm or My Services, or whatever M$ will call it next month that requires Passport.
Supporting the.NET framework on linux is more likely to cut into Microsoft's current stranglehold on the tech sector. If enough major software is written in C#, then the reasons for adopting a Microsoft platform all but disappear, provided the.NET framework is ported to better operating systems.
"Wait...you mean I can run all the programs I want to run in XP, but I don't have to pay a ridiculous amount for an OS, AND I'm not forced into signing up for Passport?"
Additionally, by claiming the downside is the inability for AIM and M$IM to communicate, the author obvioously hasn't done much homework, or he would have discovered Trillian
The MTV model is precisely why this SHOULDN'T be done...
A television channel will only promote those games represented by the producers willing to pay the most for ad space, and all the best games will go unnoticed, much like today's music industry. Additionally, if game developers are handled by their producers the way "artists"(most of the popular ones aren't) are handled by record companies, we'll certainly see a decline in the quality of games out there, since anything experimental is viewed as being too risky for the funding company.
We'll also see more of this(penny-arcade.com)
Microsoft and Nintendo should not have doubled production. Its a marketing concept based off of supply and demand...if the public views something as being difficult to obtain, they will want it more than they would otherwise.
If the store is overflowing with a product, you don't have to get it right away, but a short supply brings out the rabid shopper in everyone.
Sony did it last year, and look where it put them.

you forget...its the GSOD with the Xbox
