What happened to the buggy whip companies? Even the company that made the best buggy whip eventually went out of business if they didn't change with the times to follow the market.
I feel bad for the game developers and companies...
it's bad enuff having to test the shit out of a console game to make sure there is NO way it can ever crash/freeze/break... but now you have to support different BIOS', hardware revs for chips potentially and who knows what else.
What happens when a loose QA procedure somewhere allows a game to slip out that runs fine on the "old" xboxs but crashes on the "new" xbox?
And what's this about no fan on the nvidia chip? they probably did a study and found that it takes exactly 15 months for chip to burn out with decreased cooling, which puts them 3 months outside warrantee. Either that or they're pulling that speedstep-wannabe clocking bullshit where it clocks down when it gets hot, which I'm sure will be great for gameplay on a console system where the hardware is normally supposed to be static!
This is actually something that makes me nervous... I always keep my phone in my left pocket, so for 8-16 hrs/day I have this thing exposing me to whatever might be getting emitted.
I've carried a phone like this since 1998, so it's nearly 5 years now... I wonder if 30 years from now I'll find that I have cancer in my left leg...
some sort of radiation protection might not be a bad idea... if it's just on the inside I don't think it'll make a huge difference in the signal, plus the f used (~1800-1900MHz) is pretty close to uwaves anyway, which don't handle h2o very well, so chances are that my leg was just as much an insulator from signal as the pants will be... at least now I'll be protected from direct exposure...
some of us poor souls need the phone to survive in our jobs... sorta like the people who worked lining the inside of ships with asbesoes 60 years ago. We know it's bad, but what other alternative is there? I suppose I could attach a 10' pole to my chest and dangle the phone from the end...

Remember the movie Other People's Money?

How would MP3, JPG and crap like pop-ups help us in the war? annoy the enemy to death with banner ads?
airplanes were required for the war effort...
The real question:
Does any of this effect DOA Extreme Beach Volleyball??!?
I have to agree with that...
After all, the Dreamcast was VERY hackable...
I had an unmolested DC, but I still had about 100 pirate games that ran just fine.
If anything, that helped kill the DC... and wasn't the DC based on WinCE? Coincidence? Hmm...

you should be safe... I think ~1.8-2.0GHz is the "tumor" range...
But with 5.0GHz we have to watch out for aliens in other dimentions seeing our subspace signatures and trying to open a vortex to their world.
Either way it's better then drilling holes in my house.
