>> That Santa helper chick picture on the page. I didn't know German chicks look so feminine and sexy? Unless she's not German..
She's not German. You don't see many German women. In fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, they are often mistaken for German men!
And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there *are* no German women. And the Germans just spring out of holes in the ground! Which is of course ridiculous.
>> Why did you guys vote Bush in anyway? Oh, that's right, you're stupid.
Who's more stupid: the stupid people who voted for Bush for President, or the stupid troll who can't tell the difference between a President and the Senate?
Apple sells quality. Nintendo sold that piece of shit called the Nintendo 64, and the Nintendo fans loved them for it.
For the rest of us, it's good that they made a much better system in the GameCube, although it's still annoying how they have had their head up their ass over things like online play (which they are now making a big splash on with the DS! Better late late late than never, I guess)
>> THAT is what Microsoft hates. People who buy the loss-leader hardware and never buy the software.
Not really. People who do that are in the extreme minority, and barely register as a blip.
The idea of MS "losing" money is such a loaded term that people seem to latch onto. How is it that MS "losing" $30 million (made-up number) is so damanging, but "spending" three times that (equally made-up number) on an advertising campaign isn't?
These aren't based on real numbers, but just the idea - MS "losing" money on Xbox sales is no different than any other monetary expenditure. But somehow, it's the "losing" term that makes certain people all tingly.
Even if he's "-1, Troll"-ing, the guy's partly right.
It WILL be a rough go for Sony and the PSP. They have a fantastic piece of hardware, but they are having problems keeping it powered, and they're entering a market used to a specific vendor whose products are strong at what the PSP is currently weak at.
MS knows what entering a gaming market late is like. The Xbox is a superb piece of hardware, easily superior to the competition, but gaining acceptance has been an uphill battle the whole way. Some brilliant moves (like Xbox Live) have helped along the way, but they have had to fight the whole way.
I want a PSP a lot more than a DS because of the game lineup and the beautiful wide screen. But, I'm not a Sony fanboy that thinks it's just going to waltz in and destroy the competition. The days of a single dominant provider in a gaming market are numbered. The next console generation will be a LOT closer, and Nintendo isn't going to have total free reign of handhelds anymore.
>> Fox called it back and forth for several hours before admitting "well, we just don't know." I remember that pretty well, because it was my first indication that I couldn't trust Fox News to get their facts straight.
You prefer news outlets that offer election bullshit and DON'T come clean when it doesn't hold up?
Following Mr. Bush's politics, no treaty against child pornography, prostitution or drug dealing should be signed: after all, those things create jobs.
the choice is between spending billions on reserching quackery in the military, or spending the same money on bringing US education up to decent levels, I think the education would be money better spent
You're making the assumption that dumping more money into education will solve anything.
You can pour as much beer into a barrel full of holes that you want. It's still not going to get you anywhere.
One thing that must die is the notion that public education just needs more money dumped in. We do that every political cycle, and test scores and other metrics show no progress. Why does anyone honestly think the NEXT money dump will make all the difference?
>> Bush deliberately used factually incorrect soundbites to beat Anne Richards and later Gore and finally Kerry.
Sound like he's been taking technique notes from watching Michael Moore movies. Cut, paste, rearrange, and even doctor to make anything fit your "message".
It's not at all limited to one side of the political spectrum.

What kind of "nerd" runs around with IE still? "Gee golly, I like popups!"
It sure would be nice if readers would stop playing dumb as a brick.
It's "News for Nerds", not "News for N00bs Who Need Their Hands Held".
If you had put some creativity into it, you might be modded more Funny than +1.

Indeed - even in Halo, there's an awful lot of Flood. And while there's no Ark of the Covenant, there's a shit-ton of Covenant flooding the place too.
Well then unless you plan on using Win2000 forever, you won't be a Windows user much longer, and then you won't need to worry about games at all!
Welcome to the Mac/Linux side, brother.
I can't decide whether to mod this Troll or Funny.
Or less mature, as the case may be.

Personally, I love them. Fun to compare with friends, see a cumulative effect of games played, etc.

Didn't stop the original GBA. Or the original GB, mind you.
Still, the PSP will need a nice sunglasses-like soft case.
