Your numbers looked good until you got to the DSi. You just estimated that 57% (172k/300k) of DSi owners are left-handed, (and then dismissed it because of market size!) One of your sales numbers is off by a lot.
For simplicity, we could just assume 30k, 10% of DSi sales. I suspect it's a little higher, since among gaming systems, the DS in general has more left-handed owners than other consoles since there is usually pretty good support for moving buttons to the other side if you want to use a stylus with your left hand. (I'm a left-handed DS owner myself)
I have the impression the DSi download market is pretty low in general.
You didn't read the article either? It says he has a pen name for stuff he doesn't want attached to him but he couldn't use it because there was too much money involved. Not a situation I've heard of, but it might have just been the studio's way of saying no.
Some smartphones don't store the maps on the phone, they pull the map data from the internet as they go. You should always at least have the option of caching the maps, but it isn't always default. So in some cases the phone may know the GPS location but not what's around it.
Think about it... you are getting standard edition for "free". Google wouldn't do unless some non-trivial number of users is READING and CLICKING on those ads. If your secretary is working on a budget spreadsheet, and gets distracted by an google ad in the corner of her spreadsheet, gets distracted and clicks on it, and goes browsing for 20 minutes as a result... that costs you money. And THAT is PRECISELY what your beloved partner google is counting on. THAT is their entire business model. Give you the app for free, and then extract a profit by luring your staff to click ads instead of work.
While we're extolling the benefits of nicely contoured mice, the Logitec MX 610 is a similar model to this but is also available in contours for left-handed people. This probably doens't help the original poster, but may be useful information to others in this thread. I've been very happy with mine.
I'm not exactly sure how it works in Canada, but in many places in the US, speeding tickets will affect your car insurance at least as much as a minor accident. Get a couple of them close together and they could consider you a risky driver.
You can get downloadable versions of Abe's Odyssey and Exodus from steam relatively cheaply. It's $15 for both right now, which isn't great, but a couple weeks ago they had the pack onsale for $2.50. Might be worth looking at next time Steam has a big sale, if you're in the nostalgia mood again.
You might want to check out the Worms: Open Warfare games for the DS, if you have one. The second one has online multiplayer and has more weapons and such than the XBox Live one.
Harmonix, the company that makes Rock band, already puts in indie artists as either "bonus songs" on the disk or as free downloadable content. They also have had a contest like you suggest in the past and put a song from the winner in the next game they released.
I am pretty sure they still need popular music to sell the games initially, though it's been proven in the past that they can get away with cover versions of those. It's only since the games became really popular that they've been using the original recordings.
It's not really difficult. All Motoroloa phones charge off of USB these days. I tried plugging my phone in to copy something to the memory and my system automatically installed it as a modem.
you can detect it by looking for the following 2 files:
"%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\npbasic.dll"
"%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\chrome\chrome\content\browser.js"
Theoretically closing Firefox and deleting those might remove it. The recommendations are to run anti-virus software, which is a good idea since the rest of the article indicates this is usually added to already compromised machines.
Locations of the files may vary by OS, but should still be in Firefox plugins and chrome theme.
A community lawyer pool won't help when the inevitable happens and most of the slashdot users are suing each other. Well, it might help the lawyers. Everyone else loses.
maybe you haven't bought a board in a while. New motherboards have at least 4 SATA ports now, with 6 being more common. My mini form factor board has 6.
On another note, I'm not sure if the submitter actually tried to install an OS with that IDE port. I've seen the same warning but had no trouble booting off of the drive. It did detect it as a usb device, which was odd... but it did work normally.
Did you try looking at the camera settings? there are a bunch of follow options that seem to be what you're looking for. As far as I know, they were in there before any patching.
People generally don't generally pay any taxes on money they donate to charities, so that million dollar bonus would still be a million dollars that could be split into theoretical donations for college kids.
Sure, their employer may take that money out of the payment initially if it went to a person first, and a charity afterwards, but all that would be returned once a tax return was filed with the deductions.
so when a solopsist posts on slashdot, or even interacts with the world in general, is it Schizophrenia? He is apparently either talking to himself or a nonexistent entity.
Now I don't have nearly that many consoles hooked up, so my tv's inputs can mostly handle what I need without switching around cables, but I've seen a bunch of video switchers that can take care of the logistical end of what you need. Do a search on amazon for video switchers to get an idea. There's a lot of them out there, depending on what kind of connections you're using, it could go anywhere from $30 to $125 for a device that will switch between 5 or so devices to a tv at the press of a button. Considering that those older consoles certainly won't be using component or hdmi devices, you're probably only looking at the low or middle ends of that range. Anything that doesn't fit on there could use alternate inputs on your tv, since most tvs these days come with 3 or 4 input channels. If you're desperate for more than 8 or so ports I suppose you could daisy-chain input selecters.
The cable management you'd have to handle yourself, but once you know you won't be moving the cables for a while, it's fairly easy to neaten it up with some wireties or velcro.
Also, if you get the wii, you could keep it from causing more clutter in there by doing the same thing as your ps2/ps3 swap and eliminating the gamecube, as it will play all gamecube games natively using the gamecube controllers and memory cards.

Seeing as how they already announced the new Doctor last week and all?
Eh, these things happen. You probably should have simplified it for something like this.

There are no ads in google docs.

If all these drives are in the same system, you should be checking internal temperature and possibly the voltage coming out of your power supply.
You know, that explanation of following the tanker from Japan would have made a lot more sense if the movie was based on the west coast.

Yeah, I figured it was something lke that, but couldn't resist.

Since when was 1996 the win 3.11 days? Wouldn't that be the Win95 days?
Well, when you say it like that, it makes perfect sense for him to be hyping the hell out of the next game he has in development.
