How many reports of "signle chip solutions" are we gonna hear before we really start seeing things happen?
I see alot of "your toaster, car, girlfriend cell phone PDA and HDTV will all be pumped right into your retina" and so far I still have to carry about four "portable" (yeah sure, on their own they are, but not all together) pieces of crap....
Enough with the talk, make with the damn gadgets!

Incorrect, we are screwed no matter what we do.
Some of these nations hate us because we are involved, the rest hate us because we arent.
We have groups threatening to take action against us no matter which side of the fence we sit on, so we learned long ago, screw you guys, we are going to take care of ourselves and our friends, do whats best for US (shocking I know) first and keep the peace when we can.
Getting kind of sick of this, I wonder how Canada would feel without their older brother watching their ass on the playground....
Wish I could find that Mac Gamer video clip....so appropriate.
"I own a macintosh, I'm a gamer....well, I used to be."
Anyone know what im talking about? Linkage would be good.
To recall the greatest feat (if indeed you can associate great feats with video games:) involving this game.

I thought it was already decided that the "changes" weren't new at all to the MP3 license terms....
I could be wrong though but thats what I thought the follow-up said....
Lots of other fields have the same thinking.
Take cars.
Infinity makes the Q45, reviews just rave about it, the cost was $10k less than most all competitors. Yet the sales were sub-par....
They drop the incentives, raising the average cost by $10k (no small sum) and whats happening? Sales are on the rise (they are also advertising a bit more, but not by much).
People who want quality don't want value, they want quality, and are willing to pay for it.
Even if it is insane....:)
Easy, just cut the persons hand off and take the whole damn package!
(which is why I would NEVER volunteer to be the poor schmuck who gets the breifcase handcuffed to his wrist full of confidential info).
I have long stated that I think the war on drugs, terrorism, and whatever other "wars" we have going on are far to trivial, what we need to be putting a focus on is people who trade music.
When it comes right down to it, drug use may ruin peoples lives, terrorists may kill innocents en masse and corrupt corporations may break Joe Public, but lets look at the big picture, if we allow music trading to continue thats just one more corporation that's going to go down and go down hard....
Buy the corporations, for the corporations....wait I meant people....silly me....
How pathetic a world we live in when trash such as we have "in charge" of our country is allowed to do what they have done....
I am sure my views make me a terrorist though....
I honestly do not know how to express the level of utter disgust and disdain I have for this situation as a whole....
Is that the cable company would controll it.
Take the ReplayTV fiasco for instance. They fought back because they don't get any perks from the industry, however cable companies, that is their bread and butter. And being a cable company, God only knows what features they can/will/could put in it, or disable (like 30 second skip to bypass commercials).
I don't trust the same people who provide my content to be the ones who allow me to manipulate it at whim.
Then again todays climate could just have me uoverly paranoid:)
Let's see, which is easier, stick with a method of time that I know like the back of my hand, can count through and work around in my head like clockwork, or a new method of time that is labeled "easier" just because it's base-10....
Easier is totally perspective, considering we don't use metric-anything in this country I don't think metric time would do anything besides confuse the issue.
So no, I don't think it is tie for metric time.
I think it's time for people to give up on the whole "oh my, it's base-10, so it must be easier" crap....
Just my $0.02
Oh my God!!!!
1-2 years old!!!!
Redefine the term modern to mean cutting edge, because unlike some of us the vast majority of users system are not 1700 Athlons, you would be SHOCKED to know what the real average computing speed is....
Makes 533 look fast....
*sigh*
Just gotta keep in mind not to run any software written by you or anyone else with a philosophy that just because the PC is faster that shouldn't mean that our software should be faster too....
No offense but for a friggin notepad clone it should load up in 1-2 seconds on a 300Mhz system, it edits TEXT, no graphics, no real fancy features, just text....
Sounds less like "more personal" and more like "more invasive", lets store as much info about people as possible on their PC's, then have shoddy security practices in place so that data gets stolen easier....
Screw privacy, who needs it right?
Certainly not Corporations....
Oh come on now, thats just weak...."average american".
Hey pal, at least my gov. isn't looking to spend millions of dollars to do something (probably poorly) that being done right now for FREE, when they could be, oh, I dunno, spending millions on AIDS research
Nah, your right, they are just your average South Africans right? I mean, what more do you expect?
I swear, sometimes I just don't understand what is going on in certain peoples heads.
How the hell you could support an idiotic move like this is just mind boggling.
I cannot FATHOM the amount of drugs and/or brain damage it requires to actually think that the math in this scenario adds up.
What a waste....
You sir, are a imbecile.
Not only has this topic LONG passed by the public eye (which begs the question, what rock were you under) but you are also more than 100% in correct.
a) they do not market the 1800+ as an 1800Mhz CPU, nowhere have I seen "Mhz" applied to it. You assumed in-correctly.
b) as has been stated before (but in case you miss ed it, here it is again) the P4 pipeline is MUCH longer than the Athlons, so for instance my 1.6 Athlon XP when compared to a nearly IDENTICAL system running a P4 running at 2.2 the Athlon comes in VERY close (would TIE a P4 @ 2.1Ghz). And yes, I have tested this myself, the P4 machine is actually sitting about 6 feet away from me as we speak.
Inform yourself before you buy OR post!
Alot of these virus authors do it for exposure.
The more the issue is pushed to the fore the more rewarding it is to do it....
Why not focus on "how to secure the internet in your spare time"?
Yup I stopped caring what you had to say when "I'll bet you two of my best baseball cards that Agent Smith could kick Darth Vader's butt." came out....
seriously, isn't there a checkbox when you register that says you have to be over 13?
Heh, this coming from a highschooler who seems a) infatuated with JB's writings and b) has neither shown himself to grasp the concept that the BIGGEST money making factor of the matrix was not the action, nor the plot, but rather the intense new level to which they pushed moviemaking.
The technical achievements are what won them over in the hearts and minds of most of their viewers.
Nor do you seem to comprehend that this is not a book, this is a movei, a ficticious story bent not around stressing you mind (because the large part of the audience would care less about seeing a movie of that nature) and more about being entertaining while scraping the surface of something meaningfull.
Be honest, you are that guy who I always sit next to that no matter how good the movie is you say things like "yeah right" and "oh come on" every five seconds....
I know its you....
Um, either way the "reviwer" did not make sense.
It was never stated that the reaper virus is airborne.
He was just trying to point out that no matter what the context, the crap about the virus was just wrong.
Flat out, period, wrong....
And the reviewer seems about as qualified to review this movie as you are likely to understand this post.
Not very.
Had the author of this "review" payed attention they'd know that the reason why Whistler was in that chamber was because they would periodically toture him and harvest his blood, then put him back in there to let him heal before doing it again.
I don't think they should let people like chrisd into movie theaters. Because a movie is not generally what they are looking for. They want something that presents the holy impossible with unimpeachable evidence that it can be done. They want something that is so utterly believable, but they want it to be about something unbelievable.
They don't bother to waste their time relaxing and, god forbid, enjoying the movie. They sit there on the edge of their seat waiting for the next thing they can't point out as incorrect.
I dunno where you got that the virus was "airborne", but had you spent more time actually watching the movie and less time typing up your review in your head you might have had a better time.

In the linked article for last year it said only USSR and USA, no Japan, so did Japan do it after that post or what?
