Well, this isn't a weiner length contest, but I still have my Odyssey II, 2600, 5200, and 7800. Sold the Colecovision, INTVI and INTVII to a friend with games, and have owned pretty much every console since the NES save for the Neo Geo and 3D0, but played both extensively.
Regardless of that, consoles offer much the PC can't and won't, and vice versa. If you can't think of any reason to own a console, then why even bother asking, since you've made your mind up?
Not really. I worked with some XBox developers at Midway and they had the latest dev kits (clear versions of final hardware), but they weren't noisy. Problem is, they're the *size* of your PowerEdge:) This is one big ass console!
Oh sure!
Or we can just "chip" people like they do to pets now. Some little kid lost in the grocery store? Throw em up on the belt, pass em over the scanner, and there's little Timmy's info right there!
Saw the box @ E3 this year, so I can only assume Panasonic will bring it out. It's roughly the same size as the original, and it was a neat brushed aluminum on the outside (the pic in the story looks to be chrome). Personally, though, I'll stick with a regular DVD player for DVDs and just drop the $199 on Nintendo's purple purse lookin system.:)

Its usually a good idea to rebuild the kernel after an upgrade too...and a merge of config files.
There's a great script on FreeBSDDiary.org that I use to simplify the build process.
Chances are the ISP, if smart, doesn't allow the customer to run all kinds of third-party COM components.
If they want to run their own custom or third-party components, they had better have their own colo. Otherwise, you run into administration and possibly licensing nightmares...(say the customer purchases a component for one site only, they're vhosted on a server with 100 sites, and they want you to register this component...what's stopping another user from instantiating the component?)
They even got simple things like DNA wrong. The geneticist played by Tom Sizemore mentioned that the 4 bases are A, T, G, and P. P? What the hell is P? Phenylaline? Plumbum? Potassium?
That was a lifesaver, and so was ABBA in the Ikari Warriors games. I still remember the code my friends and I got for Castlevania II that takes you right before Dracula: GSGU KUEI V5I0 HQKM Even after like 13 years I remember that stuff. Sick sick sick.

Spoken like a true non-console gamer.
People don't play consoles for the PC ports, they play them for the console exclusives.

That's only in the part that touches Indiana. :)

Carmack stated that he's designing for hardware that doesn't exist yet. The XBox hardware *does* exist.
D'oh. Configure DNS to disallow zone transfers from anyone but the secondary. Host -l dies then.
A few of em are still at Atari/Midway West.
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/m/mwy.html Midway is independant now...there are still ties to WMS in some ways, but they are their own company (I work there).
Prolly the 39" HiRes monitors and custom hardware
inside that drives the cost up
No they don't (at least the Midway part).
Midway IPOed 2 years ago and is independant save
for a few technicalities
No discoing Travolta
Lack of the Olsen twins comes in a close second

In Mike Tyson's Punch Out, it takes you to Tyson, and in the regular Punch Out, you get to Mr. Dream.
Does this account for memory though? Or is our brain trained to remember too?
