How about just not leaving it in your car, or another place where it's easily stolen?
I'd look like a dipshit walking around with a pizza box under my arm, or sitting on a park bench typing into a pizza box.
Besides, after a while, you'd think burglars would catch on to the singular design of the box, especially when it's not an imitation of a popular vendor. I mean, this is a great idea in theory, but I think the execution is a bit narrow at the moment.
When Microsoft continued to leave "security" off its list of "necessary items" to follow up on for years, they pretty much shot any hopes of controlling a unified authentication system out the door.
Nobody takes them seriously as far as security goes. Just reading the headlines for a day would make that abundantly clear.
Perhaps a competitor will come out with a clean record and a compelling product, but in this area it isn't going to be Microsoft, if anyone.
I read from the article that they intend to have an application that mimics MS Access.
I hope they do a really bad job at this. A full featured mimic of MS Access would introduce a variety of really bizarre errors, instabilities and WTfs into their feature set.
Classic, and so unbelievably true. VBA is frustrating enough without having to add Access into the fray.
This is the danger of having one controlling body over essentially the entire Internet.
Perhaps people shouldn't have dismissed alternatives like PacificROOT in the past -- at least there'd be some competition to prevent these sorts of things.
Looks like I'll be paring back my domains next year.
Well, there's a creepiness factor in the original that just seems utterly missing from this teaser. Gene Wilder, the period in time [aesthetically], and the dark humor all lent itself to a very creepy yet entertaining flick for all ages.
I'm feeling a lot of gloss and a lot of what made the original great missing from what I've seen so far. Don't get me wrong, I like Depp's acting, but Wilder had something inexplicable in his role that I still don't think will be properly replicated.
While I think Burton will do a decent job with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I really don't think it stands a chance of beating the 1971 version with Gene Wilder. There's a certain magic to it that I don't think can be replicated so easily into a polished Hollywood flick, no matter who's directing.
War of the Worlds, so far, looks like one worth checking out.
Can't say I am. Rather, I'm suggesting that this is fairly old-hat in the games industry to, at all costs, indicate undersupply to stimulate interest and buying fervor, then at the last second release a magical rabbit out of a hat full of units to retailers.
I'm speaking mre in terms of initial production quantities. I have no doubts the PSP's quality will be up there, but let's remember the PS1 and 2 launches -- undersupplied.
I'll certainly be giving both a shot, and overall, since I collect, even if I like one over another, chances are I will own both. They seem to both have their strengths and weaknesses, all fanboyishness aside.
...if these people just artificially inflate demand around the holidays through talk about "undersupply", and then pop a load of 'em on the market just in time.
Nah, couldn't possibly be! [Just like every other year.]

...popular with law enforcement and perhaps the postal service. ;) Well, maybe those people in the Northwest, too.
Seriously, though, I hardly ever see 'em anymore, after that "new Segway" luster faded..
...brings me back. They were an indispensible resource back in the BBS days, and always informative.
I guess that's the way the times work, though.

After all, two wrongs don't make a right, no?

MPAA ratings are not government controlled. It's strictly voluntary.
...is to:
1: Not watch.
2: Ensure that pissed-off gamers put in their say with SpikeTV.
3: Point out how the negative aspects are doing more damage than good for the industry on the whole.
4: Offer a feasible solution that might get gamers promoting it themselves.
Hopefully something respectable that really represents the industry will take hold. One can wish.
Saved me a ton of time from the get-go. After all, it's a hell of a lot more efficient to find porn!

When did Minnesota become Canada's newest province?

Still works, years later.

I think he meant NINTENDO DS.
That should help.
One hopes that Sony can possibly keep up when it comes to launching the PSP. If history is of any precedent, this won't be the case.
Unfortunately.
...promises of 1048 free hours of Yanni in my mailbox, encased in a tin, sent to me every other week.
I didn't see Maya Butthertz in there. Or Mrs. Butterworth, for that matter.
