I must be one of the lucky ones, the biggest movie theater where I live usually costs $8.00 for an adult ticket and has no advertising before the movie.
Here is an interview with Nintendo regarding Hunters.
The relevant part is:
IGN: With multiplayer being Metroid Prime Hunter's focus, and Nintendo's stance on going online with its Nintendo DS software, what can you tell us about the possibility of this game going online?
Kensuke Tanabe: Unfortunately, the game won't support the multiplayer internet function of the Nintendo DS. To do it, it's not that easy and we'd have to build the infrastructure for it to work properly. The timing of the game release and the building of the infrastructure just didn't match. So while it won't be online, multiplayer will still be very very fun.
As did the Super Nintendo, I know a few games supported it, though the only one I know of is Mario Paint

Inside the PSP

· Score: 1
I'm curious, what demographic currently own the majority of GBAs? The PSP is a well built machine, but it seems like the primary market for the product would be different from the GBA (I have no clue what the DS is aiming for).
For one the $250 price tag is going to turn off quite a few people shopping around for presents for their kids.
It also doesn't seem well built for travel, I'm not talking about battery life, but durability. I would not want to drop this thing any distance, it just doesn't feel nearly as solid as a GBA or DS (especially since it has moving parts). I read something on IGN the other day that summed up what I thought nicely. The PSP is the better overall system, but the DS is the better handheld.
All that being said, I'm enjoying both the DS and the PSP. The DS is currently pretty weak on games, but there are a lot of games coming out for it that I am looking forward to. I think the PSP will take some of Nintendo's handheld market and pull in others that weren't interested before, but I don't think it will put a serious dent in Nintendo's marketshare.
I installed the extension to see what exactly it was and for the most part it seems to keep the browser the same. There is an added "MySpeakeasy" menu item, that has various links to sites and a new status indicator on the menu bar (not sure what it's called) replacing the original Firefox one. Other than that it appears to be exactly the same.
I remember filling out a form a couple years ago, I believe in regards to the Microsoft antitrust case. I ended up getting a check last year for $105.00 from the Microsoft settlement. It seemed very odd to have gotten so much at the time, was that typical?
I'm curious, when did you go into Best Buy and their workers were paid commissions? The reason I ask, is, I was an employee there around a year ago and their big line was that no one in the store earned a commission so it was a much more comfortable environment for the consumer since it didn't really make a difference to the salesman if they sold an item. I was working in computer sales at the time and I certainly didn't earn a commission. Though that didn't help the customer since if we failed to sell a computer or didn't get a service plan we could expect a 20 minute lecture on it. Was this a recent move by Best Buy or is it decided on a store to store basis?
The purchased iTMS files can be burned to CD as a standard CD audio file. They cannot be automatically converted to MP3, you can however rip the CD you burned to mp3 format if you wish. Some quality will be lost of course, however (I'm not an audiophile mind you) I've found the music to be quite acceptable even after it has been ripped from CD.
I wish that were an option, but it isn't. I use Linux at home, but at work everyone uses Windows 98 and I have to update all of the computers manually whenever a new update comes around. I only have a few weeks left here so its not that big of a deal, but I'm sure whoever is taking over after I leave would appreciate such a utility.
The mention of automating multiple machine updates, got me wondering. Does anyone know of a utility that would allow you to automate the process updating multiple Windows 98 machines? I remember seeing a utility a while back that did this, but haven't been able to find it anywhere.
He might as well have been considered a part of the Taliban, his support made it far easier for them to carry out their missions as well as train and arm new recruits.
Personally I use both Outlook XP and Evolution at home and I prefer Evolution. Evolution seems to work alot faster than Outlook overall, especially when working with multiple e-mail accounts. I've never had a wait like the one you described when emptying my trash. This is on a computer with a 1.3ghz P4 and 512MB Ram dual booting RedHat 9 and Windows XP.
I would have agree that out of the 3 consoles I own the xbox gets the least amount of playtime. However, the xbox is very easy to mod and it makes a decent media box. I primarily use it now to play Nintendo and Super Nintendo games and watch movies.
Its doubtful Nintendo will just die considering they have billions in the bank and are continuing to make a profit. I don't really agree that the market can only sustain two consoles, while the third place console won't necessarily do great it can still be profitable which it seems is all Nintendo cares about anyway. After all there are still many people who will buy whatever console Nintendo puts out just because its Nintendo.
As others have noted Ogg Vorbis is a good replacement, I've been using them for awhile and they are definitely good enough, in my opinion to replace mp3s. I am still slightly annoyed however that this happened, its well within their rights to charge a fee, but its annoying they decided to wait until it had gain such great acceptance and then start charging when its become almost a standard for digital music.
I am very disturbed that a private company has the ability to monitor us like this, while encryption would certainly deal with the problem, I don't think EVERYTHING I do should need to be encrypted. I would think that current laws would prohibit the use of this technology on a wide scale. If they don't then I would hope companies would know better than to use this to monitor what people are doing in their private lives.
If they want to monitor the websites I go to they are welcome to try, but if they try to monitor my email, regardless if its encrypted or not, they are going over the line.

No, I just wouldn't shop there anymore.

Who said it was?
Last I heard Longhorn will not be shipping with WinFS, it will be released later.
