thats 24, Gameboy might only have 12 or so DS titles but they have all the advance titles which makes it much easier to justify since you have well over 100 of those
likewise of those 24, most of them are sports games. I would not be buying a PSP just to play soccer which at the moment is all the PSP seems good for.
I really am having a hard time justifying buying one, at least for the time being with no software out for it.
Granted I bought a Gameboy a long time ago and have bought them since, but in this case unlike that gameboy of years ago, I have problems with this one catching on for even as well as the GameGear did, which while short was still longer than say the Lynx or NGage.
Its so flamebait but Im going to bite and not mod it down more.
Um last I checked a PC of equal capabilitys with the software that Apple bundles was found to be 700 dollars, well over the asking price of a Mac mini and even a shuttle PC cant come close to the size of it (or the price since the smaller form stuff is more money)
Likewise in a typical wintel fashon you completely glossed over OS X relitivly bug free and virus free workspace. Likewise just about everyone forgets that more software doesnt mean more quality. Everyone bitches that macs dont have any software when the REAL truth is
Macs dont have any games
Well hate to break it to you but I use Vectorworks and Office at work, and I honestly couldnt tell you the last time I had the time to play counterstrike.
And I bet every one of them had the patience of a 11 year old.
Honestly the people I have seen who love WoW are HORRABLE game players. They refuse to actually put any effort into their playing and think FFX was the greatest game ever. These are not people who can last 2 weeks in a real MMORPG because they dont know anything beyond instant gratification.
As for your FFXI comment they have every one of them beenm bullshit and obviously you never made it past lvl 30.
You like WoW thats fine, but dont expect real MMORPG players to accept you as a player, because all of us worked to get where we are, WoW players reach endgame in 3 weeks. It bored the snot out of me and I was so glad I had only played the beta and never payed for the game. WoW is like Diablo 2... no content and lots of lvl 99 noobs.
which will be thrown out because its Britan and the EUs own record companies preventing iTunes from complaying with the EU rules
Not that anyone actually LIVING in the EU could tell you that since that whole system is a disaster waiting to happen
One nation, under God, indivisible is not practicing religion, not teaching religion, not promoting religion.....hate to break it to you, but god IS religion. Anytime you say god you are speaking of a religion. God cant exist unless religion existed.
Ahhh but see this is where my logic wins and your logic is very much flawed. Being poprietary, its much easier to code the OS so that it works EXACTLY as it should. There will be minor bugs and all but you can pretty much garentee that Linux on a mac mini will work on a emac and on a iBook and on a powerbook.
With a x86 system.... you cant. Its the same problem Microsoft has to a extent, every parts maker does something different and your cheap parts might in the end bite you in the ass.
Likewise its been pretty much proven thats NOT the argument here. People have compared "cheaply" built x86 boxes to macs and came to the fact that your so called cheap box costs about the same as the mac, and you havent even factored in software yet. Now in the case of a linux box that stuff is MOSTLY free, but your losing time to set it up, and time = money. So in the end you might have save $100 box but spent a week verses 30 minutes to set up and thats only if you luck out with the drivers working.
Im sure for a single user whos well versed in linux thats not a big deal, but for schools, buisnesses, and the like thats a deal breaker. And THAT is why Windows rules the world, Apple is looked on as stylish and inovative, and Linux/Unix geeks cant get a word in edgewise. Simply put, flawed logic in the pursuit of "freedom." If a group of people could get together and change that Linux might have a fighting chance. But then that would mean making this propietary in a way. And thats a no no to tux fans.
I mean this is the guy who said Janet Reno was on medication and under control by the mafia, filed the report that got Stern fined, led the crusade against 2Live Crew, and was order to undergo a exam to prove he was sane.
The guy is obviously a right wing hatchetman, the left have them, and this is the rights. Its shown time and again he has no problem smashing freedom of expression if it involves a curse word.
Actually reading through it now, it looks like they are going for a combination of OSX and XP.
Still got to ask, are they beating a dead horse, when OSX does Xwindows too?
you forgot the using the notes he left that outlined eveything part.
Besides its a trailer, how often have trailers shown shit to shine and vise versa.
it IS in the TOS...
"use of third party programs is prohibited" But at the same time your not allowed to camp a spot none stop for days, which is all these sellers do.
He didnt report NEWS though, he stole information from Apple and reported that. 99% of IT product news IS PRESS RELEASES, why? because most of it is trade secrets and thus you cant report it without risking getting sued. Its just like a insider tip to a murder, your alowed to infer about it in your story but god forbid you report it in the news. Many a journalist has been fired for that exact reason, they damaged a case by reporting a insider tip. What Nick did was the buisness version of that. Regardless of the fact both are illegal
Obviously you have a lot to learn on Journalism and journalism laws.
A better example would be Mee Deggi the Punishor, who drops a Kote thats considered a important peice of gear for a lot of the oriental jobs, in this case its a time lottery pop of certain birds in the room. Gilsellers would time it out so they where in the exact right spot to pop him making it all but imposible to get him yourself. They would then sell the item for lots of money and drive the price up to the point where people stopped paying, then back down slightly so that they got max profit. The gil they got would then be sold to IGE
People would THEN pay IGE to buy gil to buy the Kote.
Thus you see why gilselling is a major issue, to get the good items you usually have to buy gil unless you have a high lvl character who can make decent gil. IGE would sell you the gil to buy the item that in the end IGE put up to begin with, the money never actually going out to the game world but to IGE who would just sell the gil to buy another item again.
no it isnt, its one thing to camp a spot to get a item, its another to monpolize the spot and kill all those who go near it and use bots to get the claim (which is what those people banned where doing)
Beside you dont like it go somewhere else, the TOS basically says they can kick you for ANYTHING they dont like which is what all MMORPGs TOS say.
Not a trade secret then, more importantly you dont understand the case at all. In this case the journalist broke the law by telling the public the contents of a NDA, a criminal offence in the state of the company AND the state Nick lives in.
What your describing would be THE criminal act thus news, in Apples case the journalist IS the criminal act, in disclosing stolen info about products that potentially could affect Apples sales. If Nick had reported that they where beating slaves to make the Mac minis that would be different. But no he reported that a source in Apple told him all of their new products (something even the Apple Store sales people cant even do, my friend cant even hint to me minor price changes) and he went and posted it weeks before they came out.
Like I said elsewhere I know full well as a former EiC of a newspaper what Nick did was wrong, but Journalists these days will spin anything for the pursuit of the story. If Nick had been a reporter under my watch he would have been fired.
Obviously your not a student of journalism, sorry to tell you this for the various reasons listed in other threads here, he did break the law by knowingly publishing secrets. Your not allowed to disclose NDA protected info, even if YOU the person are not the one who signed the NDA. Ignorance of a law does NOT make you free of prossecution of a law. In this case Nick is lucky hes not being arrested for aiding the theft of Apples property which he full well could have been which is why a REAL journalistic source would never have printed the detail that he did on the new systems.
Journalists have no rights to violate the law contrary to their belief. Real journalists know this.
Sorry to tell you what you said doesnt apply in this case. As a former EiC myself, there where a lot of instances I couldnt let storys run with information my people got from the inside because it just WASNT protected and would have gotten us sued. There are also a lot of instances that we had to infer that we got information but could outright say we got it because we could be arrested for doing so since the information was stolen.
Freedom of speach does not = freadom from prosecution if you violated laws in disclosing the information. But this is what happens when you have websites run by people who do not know the laws behind journalism. Apples rights where violated by the person who leaked tradesecrets to Thinksecret. Just because the person at ThinkSecret released that information does not protect him from the numerous laws he violated in getting the information. If he accepted the information knowing it was insider info and thus trade secrets, then not only could he be sued to tell who told him the info, but he could theoretically be sued as a participant in the crime.
Apple didnt do that though, they only want to know who told him.
Remember being a reporter doesnt mean you can break the law. EFF is in the wrong here.
even so the last I saw the adverage age of a Gameboy user was 22.
Sorry if you watgch the comercials nintendo barely markets to the younger croud anymore, and it shows with their versions of like BMXxxx and stuff having more sex and violence than even the xbox version.

So why again are we giving him a speakerbox here?
AHHHH but then you would look stupid for erasing a perfectly good OS just for your "sense of freedom"
Whats a good name for this one?
My GF and I camped it for her bard for months, in the end 100k was just easier to farm, she was well on her way when our LS surprised her with it.
I had the same issue with O Kotes for my monk, in the end I realized its a game and you dont need this stuff to play good.
once I learned that everything became so much easier.
Congrats.... want some cheese?
Actually reading through it now, it looks like they are going for a combination of OSX and XP. Still got to ask, are they beating a dead horse, when OSX does Xwindows too?

you know with DNA doing the script before he died and them not changing a thing about it since then and all.
in all the FF games gil = money thus they sell in game gil for rl money
it IS in the TOS... "use of third party programs is prohibited" But at the same time your not allowed to camp a spot none stop for days, which is all these sellers do.

OGG is dead, get over it already. Less than 1/1000th users even know what Vorbis is, let alone want it. MASS market is the only thing that counts.
