So whatever you do, don't bet on Xbox dropping to $99 or seeing Xbox Next/2 in 2005. And don't complain that Microsoft lied to you when neither of these things happen.
They are educated guesses. IBM already began taping out processors for the new XBOX. Couldn't think of reason why IBM would start getting their manufactoring line ready if the launch date was 2 years away.
According to an FBI affidavit, six such "loopers" and six DirecTV access boxes were in plain view at Sprague's home when agents conducted their search. One box was connected to a television and had a reconfigured card in it.
Wonder how they knew it was reconfigured for pirating satellite reception without seizing it or at least turning on the tv. Last time I checked warrant is only for the crime that it was issued to, pulling out the card or turning on the tv don't fall in scope with a warrant to search for illegal dvds.
Does anyone read abuse emails? When my company used to provide dialup ISP services, abuse mailbox was loaded with bunch of whiners. People saying that one of our users degraded them on usenet, or they got spammed with a virus(which was forged email address but they weren't smart enough to read the headers) and lot more useless crap. Can't forget the guy complaining that one of users ripped him off on an ebay transaction. We never have problems with email spammers but did have problems with usenet spammers but our usenet uplink provider sent emails to our personal email addresses instead. And if we were a small ISP a recieving a significant amount pointless abuse emails imagine what largers ISPs have to deal with.
Now our kids stay home and play video games all day. Our daily socialization is now just emails. Instead of regular postcards we get ecards. Instead of going to flea market or yard sales, we use ebay. Instead of waiting every month for our playboy, we download images off usenet. Instead of phone sex, we have webcams and instant messenger. Those pictures of your mom at mardi gras no longer are confined to some guys wallet but are now for everyone in the world to see. That video of you pretending be a jedi master sword fighting is no longer local joke but a worldwise joke.
Manufactors aren't forced to do this by the government, it is by choice. But as consumer you have a choice not to buy their products. Only thing that I find unethical is that the companies do not label their products as having these checks in them. Seriously, look at other products that have some form of "consumer" protection systems. Like automobiles with a speed limiter, the speedometer goes up to 150 yet the chip in the car only allows you to go 120.
Yawn, another clueless Politically correct hippie.

I bet your same type of person to claim that there would be outrage if they named sports teams after white people. Even though there are teams like the fighting Irish, Vikings, Bucaneers, Cowboys, Rough Riders, Vandals, Pirates, Sooners and more.

Too bad its mostly a myth about getting pounded in the ass in prison. Everything is supervised including showers. They even seperate the gay prisoners from the straight prisoners due to violence against gay prisoners.
That myth isn't all bad, it keeps people out of prison. There's good reason why the prison system doesn't try to dispel that myth.
Umm IE engine is essential to windows, do you not notice that explorer windows in XP are HTML pages with some extensions? You can customize it however you want if you know html. If you don't like it, don't use MS products. People complain so much Microsoft, here's a big hint, Don't support them with your money. I use Macs, and everything that I need is on the mac. My parents use macs, and I recently just setup my uncle and aunt on a cheap eMac. My college used Linux.
Expensive compare to what? B-1 Bomber is 1.2 billion a piece, F22 is $122 million. Communication sattelites can range from $100 million and up. And the R&D costs can spread accross multiple units, rovers only had two units to spread across.
The RIAA went after MP3.com who was allowing customers to download mp3s if they bought a cd, that way the customer could listen to the music before the CD arrived in the mail. If we all remember that went to court, and now the publishers have legal precedence.
every hardcore camper buys hightech gortex jackets, microfiber sweat wicking thermals, reverse osmosis water filters, carbon fiber tent poles. And silicone based lube so they can get fucked in the ass by a wandering bear.

Thats why I play Poker when I gamble in vegas. Low limit tables ($2 $4) usuaully have beginners or drunks. Any person who has an average level of skills should easily break even if not win money even with high percentage casino rakes. Plus you get free drinks and comps.
Better yet based off the "Joe Millionaire" show, Send a bunch of people too the moon with one "pilot" and 1 return space craft that has room for 2 people, the pilot and someone else. They have to win the pilots choice to who goes home. Jokes on them since the pilot is really just a construction worker from LA.

The chicks. Well.. maybe not the chicks.. Thats small enough to fit in a vib.. Nevermind..
Get $250k, use money to buy licenses for my linux copies(tivo,etc). Because that would be the worlds greatest slashdot troll.
How does it reflect badly on windows boxes? Its a worm, it doesn't exploit any holes. What reflects is that Windows users are idiots, nothing more.
Instead of filtering attachments, how about you educate your users not click on every single damn attachment.

Actually they did do an article on marijuana trade in canada and how people where making money on it.
If they actually worked, what it would do to poker games across the world. "I See that your bluffing".

the executive was really talking to the garbage can all night. This is why alcohol should not be served at company functions.
Only problem is the javascript bugs that occur since the page is referencing some image or file from their site.
Controllers don't have harddrives. Unless its one those that have macro functionality to store button clicks.
I want to know why they seized his xbox controllers? How the fuck is that evidense?
