So, they say 33,000 users are tracked. US population is about 300,000,000. So, the sample size is about 0.011% ! Even by extremely generous rounding, there's no way it would even get to as high at 0.1%
I'd hardly call that a good sample size. Plus take into account what the demographics of that sample size is. This is why I have absolutely no faith in Nielson. Not for TV, and especially not for video games.
The single most played map that was played back in the day was a rare Doom mod called Blastem. That map is as perfect as I've ever seen. So much that I tried recreating it as often as possible (Unreal,Quake3) but never as good as the original.

TiVo Basic

My friends are always impressed when I show them the power of TiVo, but inevitably they flinch at the $12/mo subscription. Why would I pay for TV guide data, they ask. At which point I ask how much they pay for TV data(cable) in the first place. If you already pay $40/mo just to watch cable, why not pay 25% more for a clearly superior way of viewing it. For as many times as I see them sitting in front of the TV 'wasting' time surfing because nothing is on, the $12 makes the $40 worth so much more.
Robocop, people.
Not the hardest reference around.
yes, a dollar is too much for one song, but that's probably what the record companies will want if something like that is available.
So, I wonder, if you do have a mod'ed PS2, will Linux read the CD-R's?
OR...is Sony just overgeneralizing this by meaning that it won't play CD-R'ed games.(it actually will read it, just not play it)

... and this time, it's personal!
I must patent this, as I've been doing it like that for years. Though my method also involves a webcam, a bowtie and some body lotion.
Oh so close... If only they would have translated it into "Ass Monkey"
Isn't this why John Romero moved to the PDA market?
if Ed Wood has something to do with it
