The idea that somehow the GC is far in third-place, is frankly strage.
It is, but the reason is media hype. The media has latched onto Sony and Microsoft. They are the new cool guys. Nintendo was cool when Atari ruled the roost. Then Sega was the media darling in the 16-bit days. Sony took over with the PSX. And now Microsoft, for some reason, can do no wrong in the media eyes. They lose money like it's urine and the media says they are in better shape than Nintendo.
Nintendo is turning the most profit, sitting almost dead even with Microsoft in terms of hardware sales, and everyone (the media) predicts their failure.
IBM is planning on moving a substantial number of high level jobs overseas
Woohoo, IBM is paying us to move overseas! Isn't this great guys? I wonder if they will offer free roundtrip airfare on the weekend back to the states...
And don't mix the toliet paper that is designed to be flushed in clockwise flushing toliets in your counter-clockwise flusing toliet. It just gets messy.

How many games can Sega release on the XBox that could have sold twice as well on the Gamecube or 10 times as well on the PS2? Apparently, it's not about the money for Sega. And you wonder why they can't beat out the EA Sports titles.
I wouldn't doubt it to be against their own EULA for uses of the XBox.
Wait, I've never played XBox. Do you have to click through a EULA everytime you play a game, or just the first time you turn the thing on? I guess that hard drive is handy for something.
I had the same idea. You could play Super Mario 3 until the end of time. Nintendo could release level packs as cards. Major profit comes to mind. I know I'd by an E-Reader.
I'm waiting for the witty hacker to make a program that converts GBA code to E-Reader code. Compile and print on your PC! Just tape to a playing card, and boom. Instant levels. I can dream, can't I?
Stuff like this happens all the time in the console world, but I do believe this is a first for the GameCube. The "unhackable" is hacked. So the news does have some merit to the/. crowd.

Frankly, it's strange.

I've been married 1.5 months and my posts' average scores have already gone down. When will the madness stop!

SanDisk will soon market a solution for you WiFi and memory needing PDA users. Too bad the Pocket PC version comes out first.
Hopefully this will make companies realize that the Internet isn't comprised of just IE users.
Sorry, 99% of geeks may browse with Moz but 99% of the rest of the world uses IE.
Our client has standardized on IE 5.5 (soon 6). Once upon a time they supported Netscape 4.

Are non-members' t-shirts ad supported? Do I have a limit on the number of times a day I can wear my /. shirt before it has an ad banner at the top?

I believe Zelda (and the Mario Games) are "non-tradeable". Sorry!
Good luck getting Legend of Zelda out of Animal Crossig without some sort of cheating.

You know, that won't work. I'll have to wait and see how Star Wars: Evercrack does.
You can replace #1 with "Write an article that mentions slashdot."

Newsbreak! You don't have the right to download free music!
Yes I do! I don't have the right to download copyrighted music I haven't paid for.
Just pulling back, not stopping all together. Sometimes it helps to gather all the facts than to take a single quote out of context.

Wouldn't it be easier for Microsoft to use the back doors in their products to disable spammers?
What, there's nothing wrong with that idea Senator Hatch...
An Apple is more like a Volkswagen than a Corvette. An Alien PC is the Corvette.

All publicity is good publicity? If that was the case, Saddam should run for president.
Linux needs to be the next version of smoking in Hollywood. A character isn't cool unless he uses Linux in the movie.
To an outsider, this lawsuit probably sounds like the computer world fighting with itself. "I don't need this Unix/Linux stuff. Microsoft is for me!"
SCO wants money. IBM has some. This only hurts the *nix world. Even more if SCO wins.
