except notice it was vivendi's profits and not blizzard's. It wouldn't surprise me a bit to find out that Vivendi's keeping the lion's share of that and just letting blizzard use enough to trickle content out.
still, why drop $600. The price will go down, and the number of good games will go up. There is no good reason to have one of these at launch other than to say you have it.
It actually is, as each pair of cores share their L2 cache. So between each pair its better, but not between the 2 pairs (as this is covered by the FSB) nor between the whole and the system. WE'll see if this makes up for the FSB problem (probably not)
yes, but communication between the 2 cores in each of the sets will be faster than any of AMD's cores. My guess is that it'll be a wash. The other (in my opinion more important) thing, is that INtel is shipping now, while AMD is about a year away. By then I believe that INtel will have a quad-core on die chip out. Either way, more FPS!
the system was designed to force the parties to compromise. Madison noted that having people at the extremes get their way would be worse than having a slow moving, more thoughtful congress. Not much is going to get done in the next couple years, no matter how the senate falls. And that's how its designed. What does get passed through both houses is forced to be moderate
because the first 2 haven't been already? What has bush really done? He's sent troops to iraq, and... Everything else that he's tried to push through has failed. Remember Social Security reform? Immigration reform? nothing.
Personally, I'd say that they only seem fiscally conservative compared to how the NeoCons have turned out. As a Republican I haven't been happy with them, especially in the last 2 years. I view the current Democrat upswing as a necesary evil to help push the neocons out. In 15 years, the republican party is going to be very different than it is today. Events like this election can only hasten that.
we won't get third parties because its more rational for two similarly aligned parties to group up than for them to all be for themselves. See Nader in the 2000 election and Perot in the 1992 election. While there may be enough support for a third party at either end of the spectrum (or in the middle), splitting the votes on one side of the center divide wouldn't give either party on that side enough votes to win. Thus, it is better to have large coalitions of similarly aligned voters on any given side of the center than to have multiple divided parties on a side.
This can only change if there were multiple fractures on both sides, and then after one party comes to prominance, the fractured similarly aligned parties would do well to group up.
All this is a result of the single-member plurality districts that the US uses. There are ways around it (see Canada), but for the most part countries with that style of elections have 2 parties (the UK is another good example, 2 very strong parties and a weaker 3rd)
exactly, the middle of the democrat party in Connecticut (who votes in the primary) and the middle of Connecticut are very different. LaMont (however its spelled) had one of those, Lieberman had the other.
the electronic ones may be for visually impared people or something. Down in indiana, we use the black arrow machines, but the precincts have an electronic machine set up for deaf/blind people.
See, I think that it was supposed to be Nintendo's flagship title to show off the Gamecube. I don't think it was deigned to show off the Wii. They put in the Wii functionality after its release date got so close to the Wii's ship date. That's why I think the Wii stuff is tacked on. Sounds like its a difference in semantics. Twilight Princess is a Gamecube game w/ some extra wii stuff thrown in, not the other way around.
Since the PS1 Hardware was in the PS2, you could argue that it was just an "update" for the PS1. Everything else was the same, it was just more powerful.
if that's the case, why not make a cheap blu-ray player and leave out all the expensive/hard to make PS3 parts? The PS3 part is to get more blu-ray players out there, not the other way around.

so what was his point?
true, but to get royalties from an american company, one only needs to sue in america yes?
Never underestimate the voracity of fanbois.

a bluetooth network can only have 8 devices on it. One is the PS3. Thus, 7 controllers maximum.
his point is that while that first wave may not care, they are outside the mainstream audience that has made the PS2 so successful.
The republicans lost on tuesday?

nah, wouldn't they just clog the tubes or something and prevent this from working?
Have fun in Gitmo!

since the game was originally designed for the gamecube, and was supposed to come out 6 months ago. I'll give them some slack.

I would think that overreacting to a single malfunctioning voting machine would have already done that.

nope, it hasn't been put up on windows update yet, so all of the IE7 downloads were people voluntarily downloading it.
yes, and anyone that care enough about that, won't be buying the iTunes files in the first place.
