    There are PowerPC ports of Gentoo, Debian, and a few other Linuxes (Linuxen? :-p).

  8. Re:Hmm on Price Drops For Mac mini Upgrades · · Score: 1

    Crucial: USD$226.99
    Apple: USD$329


    So yes. It still is...however, there's also this. Apparently this is 'ECC' RAM instead of 'non-ECC' like the $226, and it's also 'Registered' instead of 'Unbuffered,' and '128meg x 72' instead of '128 meg x 64'.

    Anybody care to explain the difference? It seems Apple's markup of $29 is reasonable considering they install it, if indeed this stick is what you'd get over the $329 one and those extra stuff make it better.

    ...if your Mini hasn't shipped yet, they give you the new Superdrive. It'd be awesome if it was true for the early adopters, I guess...this is one reason why I always wait a bit to buy one, but that's just me.

  14. Re:Disappoinment on Ten Most Anticipated Games of 2005 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just replying to just about everyone who replied to me...

    First of all, I realize that Zelda has been pretty cartoony for most of the series, but I think that you can't really call the NES versions cartoony...maybe the SNES one, and the N64 ones did have a certain cartoony quality to them. Hence the quotes.

    However, I did like the way they were going. It wasn't totally realistic, because the world wasn't totally realistic...but I liked the style of the N64 Zeldas. They struck me as very Zelda (I've played most of them).

    Does anyone remember the ill-fated games for the....iCD, was it? The 'PlayStation?' the CD add on to the SNES? That's what I thought of when I saw Wind Waker. It just struck me as very un-Zelda. The graphics are quite beautiful...but I liked A Link to the Past, was obsessed with Ocarina of Time, and couldn't really find myself getting into Wind Waker that much. Just a personal prefrence, but I'm just trying to give my OP and everyone else some reasons of why a lot of us don't like the new cel shaded look.

  16. Re:Disappoinment on Ten Most Anticipated Games of 2005 · · Score: 1

    I was one of those who bitched about Wind Waker and then watched Family Guy.

    Family Guy is a cartoon. Let it look like a cartoon. Zelda is not. It looks 'stylish' or whatever, but I really wish they would have just left it alone and made it look like 'normal.' Zelda looks better the way it's 'always' looked...

    Yes, I have played (and beaten) Wind Walker...
