considering the size its most likely the same reason they dont want you to do laptop repairs.... 9/10 a typical non techy user will fubar it. People screw up iMacs and Desktop PCs all the time and in the case of iMacs they CLEARLY spell out the way to do it and people still force the DIMM in the wrong way or break pins.
yeah their was a lot of speculation about this one and it basically was the drive behind Apple making absolutly sure their shuffle really did shuffle. If Im not mistaken there are two players out now that are without screens as well.
and truthfully even on my 5 gig iPod original... i never looked at the iPod half the time but instead listened to what played and then fast forward the player if it wasnt something I wanted to hear.
Are modifications from the user/developer community being incorporated into Mac OS? Not last time I heard (a dictatorship and not a democracy?).
Actually yes, they are, they have been since OSX has been released both from user suggested features (of which their is a way you can send a message to Apple about things you want to see) as well as the darwin community has sent a lot of features to Apple that where added in the end. Has Apple incorperated them all.... no but Im sure there has been a lot of junk code sent to apple too.
I hated partying in the standard zones. I have managed to get my MNK to 54 going to a lot of alternate lvling areas like Sea Serpant Grotto, Altepa, andd even Koroloka Tunnle (great for getting away from damned Dunes noobs)
Unfortunatly the trend is now spreading and Quicksand Caves a great 40 range lvling area is now crawling with people. But the nice thing is, this has freed up a lot of the older zones from being train zones of hell.... like Garlage and Crawlers Nest.
Your right though its atime sink which has always been FF trademark. You dont play FFonline thinking it will be easy, you play KNOWING that those people who cant hack it leave for EQII and WoW.
Well in this sense they are right, no one is forcing you to do any of this... there are plenty of other players there are plenty of other sevices.
Problem is is that people want to use iTunes on something other than a iPod and are upset that it locks you out.... yet I dont see anyone suing companys that produce PC or Mac only programs and wont let you use it on one or the other.
Also I dont see Nintendo getting sued for not letting Sony have Zelda
Its a BS lawsuit. Dont like how Apple is doing iTunes... dont buy the product, or better yet become their CEO somehow. Dont think that a company has any reason to bend over backwards just cause YOU dont like it. Its one thing for them to say you HAVE to buy it, its another thing entirely to say well you can use it but only the iPod can play it other than your computer.
a) Never said Apple was forced to use the iPod, said Apple used the iPod cause its Apples product. RIAA forced DRM.
b) Never said it could use ACC songs, just that it could USE iTunes.... you know before iTMS iTunes was used to upload any songs... nothing changed in that regard.
As for better options... I would love you to name one.
Dont want to use a iPod.... fine. You just have to use one of the other services out there.
No one is MAKING you use iTunes Music Store. And if you dont want to use it but still want a iPod you can still go out buy CDs and rip them to MP3 or non-DRMd acc.
But as long as they sell music, it will have DRM and in this case Apple doesnt want people to use it unless they have a iPod because the iPods are what get them money, not the music store (which is break even or a loss depending on who you talk to) Do you HAVE to use the music store... nope. Do you have to have a iPod to use iTunes the program.... nope (my Rio works perfectly fine with iTunes)
This is all a choice thing, you have plenty of other options if you dont like it, go get a iPod and use iTMS then, but dont say your forced to cause your not, you are CHOSING to.
Bastille day was for the freeing of the political prisoners who where housed in the Bastille you fuckwit. There is no holiday that celebrates the killing of the royalty
Please stop making the US sound like a bunch of ignorant hick rednecks. If it wasnt for France and their CIA organization would would have been attack twice in the last 3 years. Just cause they opposed our stupid war (which if you forget half the US opposed too) DOesnt mean they dont secretly kick ass.
I got the Atari Flashback for christmas this year and honestly spent hours playing the games I grew up with. Compaired to the new games which most cant keep my attention for more than a hour these keep getting me to play them again and again.
Now my cousin (whos 9) was over and to keep him occupied I broke it out and let him play. it took 4 games before he found one he liked but was still bored with it, not because he couldnt play it (he had a lot of trouble with asteroids but did great in battlezone and centipede) but because unlike us who got pleasure in getting a new top score, he wanted a ending. It bothered him there was no ending.
FFXI has celebrated major holidays since before the NA's joined.
They just got off their Christmas celebration as well as did a halloween, Summer (complete with fireworks overhead) and easter egg hunt.
WOW did nothing no other MMORPG has done, do you even realize there is not one thing WOW has done other than take the Multiplayer out of MMORPG to make it inovative? The only reason everyone loves WOW is because you dont have to party with people so its not nearly as time consuming as other mmorpgs. But thats about it, WOW is like MMORPG lite.
Unfortunatly you fail to see the point that the game was coded FOR THE PS2.
In FFXI its the PC players who are the tack on at the end. The PS2 version was released months ahead of the PC version in Japan where PC gaming is not nearly as big as it is in the US. They only have the numbers now because more PS2 users play than PC users, which personally I think is much more inovative than they get credit for. Not everyone has the money to blow on a 600 PC with the requirements to play it, but 250 for a PS2 and the game is a lot easier to swallow, and while maybe isnt as detailed actually suffers from less lag due to detail than its PC version.
Funny, it was my girlfriend who showed me this....
Hate to break it to you, there are probably more girls into Final Fantasy than guys. The sweaty DandD geeks are now the sweaty Counterstrike/Halflife2/Halo2 geeks.
I got my info from people who have watched the movie already.... you DO know most of it was screened already only the ending is unknown.
Maybe YOU should look info before you start posting something isnt known when it is know, hell Squares own site talkes about the whole star sickness plotline. Likewise it IS known Spehiroth and Aries are NOT in the movie but flashbacks to them are and Kuja might be a clone of Sephiroth though thats speculation based on the pre screening.
not to mention there does come the point where you have to just stop suppporting older models. Some of those cartrages are well over 10 years old now, and GBA's let alone GBC and GBs are a dime a dozen...... ok maybe 20 bucks a dozen, but you get my point.
Slashdot Mirror
actually yes...it is and people have gone to jail for it or worse
Only a idiot would think that.... or a manager/CEO.
WoW runs well on my 900mhz iBook G3.... trust me it will run well.

People screw up iMacs and Desktop PCs all the time and in the case of iMacs they CLEARLY spell out the way to do it and people still force the DIMM in the wrong way or break pins.
And you can even use Apple cluster making software to do it.... Apple has pretty much all the bases covered now.
if you look at how its designed... there is no need of a screen.
actually not true... there is a fast forward and reverse button... it randomly plays them but you can move onto the next song if you wish.

I would think a friendly compitition to get more money than the other guy to help these people would be a GOOD thing.

Besides there IS a company that puts out a DDR like game for gamecube anyway, i saw it with the mat at bestbuy last week.

But thanks for playing and all

nor is it a remix! It picks up one year after the game and involves a sickness that took over the worl upon Sephiroths death
Lets spell this out for you
Apple was TOLD by the labels in their respective countries it COULD NOT sell to other EU nations.
EU says Apple has to sell to everyone
Apple gets sued EITHER WAY.
Whats rubbish is that you guys are arogant enough to beleive your own bullshit.
oh I remeber so everyone can either
a) point at the idiot who misspelled and laugh b) point at the gramernazi and laugh c) laugh d) what was the first one again?
