I don't have mod points, so I can't voice my opinion that way, but this is the kind of predictable drivel that makes Slashdot comments more stale than network sitcoms. I know we can do better than this...
Nintendo has stated that on regular TVs, Revolution will be nearly indistinguishable from HD. Now, I don't know about you, but I certainly don't have an HD set and probably won't for several years - poor soon-to-be graduate student and all.
What the Revolution will be about is a new way of playing games, not the glowiest explosions. The PS3 and Xbox 360 are more or less equivalent in the games they'll let you play. The Revolution will be able to handle those games (albeit not in HD) but also open up lots of new possibilities for new games too while adding new control options to the traditional genres (RTS, FPS especially). As a gamer since I was a little tadpole, I don't see how people could not be at least a little excited about what Nintendo's doing.
Nintendo won't cut production values, because they've been about high production values and lower cost than the competitors for a while now.

Pick any two natural numbers [1, 2, 3...], one even and one odd. Let's call the bigger one s and the smaller one t. Now, we're going to use s and t to make three other numbers - a, b, and c. Let a = 2*st, b=s-t, c=s+t. Now here's the payoff... a+b=c. Look familiar? I'm looking at you, Pythagoras. We just made the side lengths of a right triangle. Not only that, but this feat is intimately connected with Fermat's famous Last Theorem.
I was told that there were no problems with my internet service in our area (they "fixed" them, you see).
Yet my hour of trying to connect before success, and my 1 byte/sec transfer speeds cast doubt on that.
I like Gaim, I use it myself... but wouldn't it be better to fix the existing issues and give it certain areas of functionality that MiddleMan or MyIM have, before getting into this whole new can of worms?
The iRiver 300 series (390, 395) do indeed have Ogg Vorbis firmware, although you must choose between MP3/OGG and MP3/WMA/ASF. I have a hunch that the Slashdot crowd would prefer the former, though. The firmware is in beta still (and has been since December -_-) and doesn't support USB drive functionality, but at least it's something.
Instead, we see miles and miles of sediments stacked up on top of each other, many full of animal burrows, others requiring deposition in still water, others are deserts, others have dessication cracks.
There is a difference between what you say and the evidence. God sure did a good job of making the earth look old.
249.475804 kilograms. What I want to know is, if the British are supposed to use their fancy metric system, why do they use standard units for their money?
I'm a junior (math major, yay) at the U of Michigan Dearborn, and most of my books this semester were short (under 450 pages), small... and 100-120 dollars. I went online and got almost all of them for around $70 each, and with regular shipping I got them all in time. Still, the best deal I got was in person, buying books used from a friend who took the class the previous semester. In conclusion, dolphins.

Correction!

HD, in this case = "High Definition", not "Hard Drive".
Dare I say, RTFA friend?
So, now Linux will have all the gaming power of the N-Gage?
Where can I get an ISO, I'm switching now.
You're forgetting "The Life of Pi".
I'm also at UMich Ann Arbor and a big Smash Bros. fan (though I haven't played in a few months).
Are you doing this again?
I dunno about you, but I read it as "A Look at the CounterStrike Beta Source".

Are you saying the giant corporations might do something that's not in the interest of the public good?
2101 War was beginning.
But will he say "ni!"?

Could this be used (much like the Nintendo e-reader) to encode minigames onto ads or signs? That could be fun.

Best $20 headphones out there, so I hear. Next best thing is the Sennheiser PX-100 or 200, which I have. The Grados were just too much at $60.

Am I the only one who initially read the blurb as "Baby rats (mmm...baby rats) fed a little extra chlorine in utero...?
Nah, it's a turtle!
Turtles can be scary, just look at Gamera... or Blastoise. What?
Because we would see evidence for it.

I don't know about the other Slashdot readers (male or female), but I could get there about 15000 times in 1500 hours of thrust time :)
