PC gaming is where the small budget games are dying. Games like Katamari Demacy are succeeding on consoles, thanks to their huge installed bases. But on the PC, only the blockbuster games like The Sims and Half-Life 2 remain. Niche genres (flight sims, adventure games, etc) are dying left and right.
802.11a = apathy. No one really paid much attention
802.11b = bad. It works but there's better to come
802.11g = good. Now it's worth using
802.11s = shit. That's what users on the fringe of the network will be screaming when the "link" node between the access point and them finishes their lunch and leaves, cutting them off too
1) Make a ton of different 30-second long songs, each of which contain a single sound effect. For example, you might have a bunch of them that contain a service desk bell sound, each song having the sound at a different time
2) Wait for a 30-second commercial to use that sound effect. If the commercial plays the bell sound 23 seconds into the spot, well then, obviously they were using your song (the one with the bell at 23 seconds) as background music!
TellOnApple.org suggests Apple shareholders demand Apple Computer answer these questions at its upcoming shareholders meeting on April 22, 2004 in Cupertino, California
Guess this means it's time to take the wraps off the iTimeMachine...
>> The fact that most artists suck these days (Rush? Tool?
Yeah, goddamn those newfangled Rush guys. And the Chambers Brothers and Deep Purple too. Today's bands suck! At least that hot new act Bad Company mentions how "bad" they are in their name. Wish I could say the same about the Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, and Emerson Lake & Palmer. God if I hear new rock radio play any more ELP, I'm gonna kill someone.
I hate these new "bands"!
(seriously dude, could you make a more stupid example?)
>> Couldn't you say the same thing about word processors in general? Nobody *needs* a word processor. People just need to learn how to write correctly and legibly.
Stupid argument of the day!
So you can write on a piece of paper and make that one page magically go to multiple people? No, step away from the Xerox machine, you don't *need* that.
Word processing is about a hell of a lot more than just legible writing. It's about making a data document and all of the flexibility that allows. A data document can be copied without limit. It can be edited without re-writing the whole thing over again (documents can be dynamic things instead of static things that have to be tossed out when change occurs). It can be searched in seconds.

Yeah, sorry about that. You can have the bike back if you want.

You haven't been to your local card/comic shop or GameStop in a while, have you?
Not required, no. But isn't the idea to go above and beyond the bare minimum?
Make no mistake, it might not be required, but it sure is looked upon in very favorable light!
And in the end, most of them are sent packing for the jokes that they are.
Easy with the drama, people.

I like how some are trash-talking about how MS is going to force this or that out of these developers. You know, really squeeze them.
Which is the opposite of what they have done with Rare.
In Korea, only old people want moonbases.
Stay in school, kid.
Use the number of men she's been slammed by to encrypt her cell phone data? BRILLIANT!
Hey, shut up! It's a new post and it's NOT a dupe. Let's not push our luck, OK?

No, actually, it would be SPY ACTA.
Almost as stupid as someone that can't differentiate a colon from a semicolon...
Look, you got 4 seasons of Enterprise. Be happy with that and STFU.
Generally, I'm happy if I get two solid seasons out of a decent, intelligent show, before it's gone. That is, of course, far less than Firefly got.
If your show runs 4 seasons, smile, say thanks, and go away. That goes for you Farscape nerds too.
If this is the case for you, then you are listening to the wrong music.
Hint: there's a world of music outside of what MTV & Clear Channel play.

I mean, did you even *think* before posting?
I remember when people said the exact same thing about a little something called "cable TV".
