They should have separate competition gaming for people that still have a full time job and a girlfriend. I play Counter Strike Condition Zero pretty often and I'm not half bad, but there are people that I always see playing that can school me like a noob. Not having a life outside CS should disqualify you from playing against general population.
Just kidding, there are still some maps I can own on but I can think of more than once my GF was about ready to frag me for playing late.
My friends and I used to behave like that back when we were in HS. If some dweeb "firmly" asked us to stop trying to sound tough we would probably be throwing stuff at him till the end of the film. Being firm with someone you never met is hardly polite and a good way to end up slugging it out in the parking lot.
Your average consumer does not go online and spec out a dell. They get an HP or compaq from CompUSA or have someone "in the know" help them spec out the system online.
Vonage offers them for $5 per month with 100 free minutes. Additional minutes are 4.9 cents. 500 extra minutes comes out to 24.75. Still not cheap, but not terribly out of range depending on call volume.
Vonage is $29/month flat rate for unlimited calls to US and Canada. Sign up a friend and you both get a free month. I have no complaints about the service.
They make money on game sales, not the console price. How many 12 year old kids parents are going to buy them a $600 console + $60 games knowing they will have to do it again in 2 years.
Sure there will be a few people but I would't count on nearing the popularity of the PlayStation at that price range.
Linux was written on Minix and based partly on it (and partly on many other operating systems). But Linux does not and never did contain any Minix source code. For one Linux is a monolithic kernel and Minix is a microkernel. Not just different code but entirely different implementations. I highly recomment reading a usernet post from Andy Tanenbaum in 1992 titled "LINUX is obsolete" and the corresponding response from Linus.
Maybe if the name of the TLD is trademarked by the.com owner.
If I owned download.cl I am pretty sure download.com would not be able to get it taken from me.
People just need to learn to shut up and go back to work. I am worked some insanely easy jobs in my life and one thing I noticed that no matter how easy the job the people I work with always seem to be complaining about it.
I had one job where we sat around talking for more than half the day, the company gives us more stuff do and some of the people I work with are furiously mad and nearly ready to quit. Sometimes people need to lean to suck it up and drive on.
SBC should take the time they skip from their sick days. If they don't have enough sick days left, terminate them and hire someone more productive.
I notice this morning that since the code leak the Internet has been faster, more stable, and I get packeted less often. Since the code leak I also lost 5 pounds and I swear my erectioin this morning was larger. *phone rings* That must be my bank calling to tell me they lowered my intrest rates.
I like products that have class and style, I am not saying I am not "worried about my image", but I wouldn't drive my grandmothers bicycle for more reasons than image.
The fact that all the electric bikes I see look like something the wicked witch drove in the Wizard of Oz just tells me that the market has maturing to do.

I thought about doing something like this to do a homebrew "Getaway in Stockholm" video. I am sure the cops wouldn't find it amusing though.

Exactly, this thing is a hairdryer on a stick.
"listen, I just mugged this guy and he shot me in the leg, I swear"
It is kind of like calling the cops becase you got ripped off in a drug deal.
Remember when they said Segway would cost about $300 and change the world? It is like that but different.

In other news 420 people march to save the rain forest. Mary Jane on scene with more coverage.
... and they will continue to consume more power making them less and less portable.

I read the review expecting "everything was great, mickyshit sucks, the end" but what I got was an actual honest review of the product, amazing.
You must be new here.

Psst. in order to do that they would first need my key.
Even then it would be simple to work around by compressing or encrypting the file.
Good work spotting the thought crime. I just set my laser to stun, if we keep kim alive we can use him for fuel.

Well if the implementation didn't suck and long hashes are used it's actually a pretty good method to encrypt files in "real-world" use.
Thanks, now nobody has to read the article.

Most electric bikes look like something my grandmother would ride. Anyone know where I can pick up a kit for my trek?
