IIRC, Virgin Records isn't even owned by the Virgin Group anymore. They sold it off a while ago. And then when they wanted another record company, V2 was born...
It's amazing how it contrasts with the Playstation store next door to it which actually does a pretty good job.
Are you talking about the Playstation store where games that have a MSRP of $49.99 usually sell for between $55 and $60? In fact, everything in the place was a few bucks more than suggested retail (memory cards, controllers, bags, etc). Kinda humorous when you consider that it's Sony themselves who are making the "suggestion"...
A tv attached to your computer also works well for this sort of thing.
A TV attached to a DVD player (and not a computer) also works surprisingly well for this sort of thing. I think some of you should give it a try sometime...
It's 7 hours long for a reason -- they're simply scrolling the text of everything that's ever appeared on a BBS (think the intro to Star Wars, except with stuff from BBSland).
Sheesh, with the way things are going down there you'd think that they were the descendents of a bunch of convicts who are embarassed by the past or something...
More than a third of the 493 PC users surveyed...said they had a greater chance of winning the lottery or being struck by lightning than of being hit by malicious code.
It should be noted that these people are probably thinking of being "hit" in the physical sense of the word...
I'm not cool enough to have a thumb drive. I think I might have a broken USB dongle somewhere though. Would that make me cool? Or would I be better off wearing a parallel port dongle around my neck instead?
The only problem with this is that you notify the server what song you want played by what instruments, then the song is specially recorded and engineered to your specifications. Only after this goes on for a week or so can you actually download the tune to listen to it.
IIRC, Ico was originally slated to be a PS1 game. It eventually got pushed back and fancied up to be an early PS2 title. Any chance the same thing will happen here? Tell everyone that it'll be a PS2 game, but then delay it, gussy it up and make it a PS3 launch title.

What are developers going to do ? Randomly decrease the screen brightness or turn off the screen for a couple seconds at a time ?
I hear the Doom3 port will be able to run for 12 hours on this thing... : p
That's 4 to 6 hours in standby mode, right?
Do we really want to contact potentially many races that would regard us with at least the contempt, as a species, that we regard "lower life forms?"
Seems to me that we need to first move beyond considering other members of our own species "lower life forms"
Thanks for posting that! Whew, I sure am glad I managed to get that patch installed before anyone was able to take over my system...
Is this sarcasm?
Of course not...Hence the informative moderation...

I can see the confusion now...
Geek walks into auto dealer:
"I'd really like a car without Windows, please."
...but I hated the last answer.
I guess this is right in line with how a lot of people don't like the way Neal ends most things that he writes... : p
too bad you'll need to have one of those overpriced Windows Media Center edition machines around your house first...

Well, he did say he wouldn't change the statue... : p
"...and I see no reason to change that statue."
What's it worth? Hmmm, I'll throw out the first number that pops into my head...How does 503 sound?
You can install all your favorite mac applications on your PC like iLife, iTunes and Photoshop ... to name just a few.
WoW!!! I can finally run iTunes and Photoshop on my PC!!!
Well, considering he was (is?) a consultant for Blue Origin (Jeff Bezos' space flight company), I'd say he's pretty into the idea...

I can't wait to see where we are in 10 years. Will you need a level 86+ machine to play whatever the hot new game is (Doom6, UT2015, DNF)?

Gentoo plans it's own music download service.

Symantec is releasing daily reports, apparently motivated by economic gain.
