Instead of focusing efforts on finding ways to organize all the information you have to memorize, just memorize it. Whatever time you've allotted, use to just study the stuff over and over again.
What you see is not always what you get, because what you see depends on a framework built by experience that stands ready to interpret the raw information - as a flower or a hammer or a face.
Perception is reality. Which is why two people can look at the same facts and come to opposite conclusions. Change the perception, change the reality. A marketer's dream.
MS came out with a new game system? How come there wasn't any media coverage of this? I'd expect there to be at least some story about on Slashdot even if the mainstream media dropped the ball.
I don't know that a virus can infect the Xbox (and said as much). What I was trying to look at is that a huge selling point for the 360 is Xbox Live. Should something happen to poison Xbox Live to where people would not use it, then I think the 360 would suffer substantially. If it were widespread and difficult to fix, by the time consumer confidence returned the PS3 and Revolution could either be on the market or nearing it.
As for why the 360 might be vulnerable when the original was not, it was it is. Just because the Xbox hasn't had any security issues doesn't mean that the 360 won't. New technology sometimes brings with it new flaws. I'm not an expert on this, nor am I pretending to be, but it still strikes me that anything which turns people off of Live will substantially hurt MS. Since the GP was talking about how Live was going to be instrumental in selling 360s, I thought it a valid point. YMMV.
With so many of the new 360s having HDs, and HDs being necessary for emulation, does anyone have any ideas about virus' getting spread through the Xbox Live system? Maybe it simply can't happen, but I can't help but think that Xbox sales would suffer substantially if Live were ever poisoned. While nothing has happen with the Xbox, I'd think that the advent of a new technology would perhaps open the door that much farther.
I wonder if they are worried about having to keep the tagging system in check (much like the Family Circus review from a few years back). For instance, what happens when a "Lemur" tag is placed on every Monty Python item?
I tried one of the 360 controllers at a local Game Crazy and, I have to say, they were the most comfortable controllers I've used. I'm not a big fan of MS, or the XBox, but props to them (or whoever they hired) for the design.
What I find interesting about reviews during this time is that those who have to have the 360 have already bought, and likely already know which of the 20 or 30 games available they will buy. It's not like there will be anyone with a 360 who has not already been planning on buying one. So, just how useful is a review like this when, pretty much by definition, the likely consumers have already made up their minds?
Slashdot Mirror
I have one, too, just out the back door. It's called the neighbor's tree.
They sold 2 million units more than they really should have;-)
That photo sure grows on you doesn't it?
C'mon guv'ner, give it shot, huh? First "but's" free, second but a shilling...
If you , me and 175,000,000 of our closest friends all but one this weekend, we'll bankrupt the buggers! w00t!

Now that's a new combination...
It only seems like a 100 years...
"Are you trying to hide something sir?"
"No."
"The machine says you're lying!"
"I- I used to be a woman named Freida." *sob*

Considering that they claimed Spiderman didn't make money to avoid paying Stan Lee, if it is an urban legend, its got good sized roots.
Yep. That'd be slashdot.
It's either button, or it lights up to tell you which of the four controllers it is. I couldn't fully figure it out either.

Ia ctually find controllers much more comfortable to use than mouse and keyboard. So that's very good news.

Well Tacoma had a bridge that gave people quite a ride a few years back. Maybe they're just waiting for a windy day?

"The Sun in 3D sure is cool. I just wish we could see more of it."
"No problem! Try these X-ray Specs."
"I thought we weren't supposed to look directly at the sun?"
"Its cool. We have 3-d glasses."
All your Cray, are belong to us.
With me or at me, laughter was the goal, so I'll take it;-)
