  1. Re:Of course on Is Console Gaming Dying? · · Score: 0

    cars is sorta a good analogy. people are still driving cars but they are not running out and buying a new one every year. there are keeping what they have. same for gaming pc or otherwise. my pc cant play new games being they pretty much demand you upgrade every year with the shadier scam. guess what i just am not playing those games. i even quit my favorite mmo being the upgraded to video modes my pc does not support insane netbook sales have proven people don't care abought having the latest hardware just something that's cheap and works. same for cars people are just driving old cars around to avoid owing the bank. if gm came out with a cheap fule effcent car say 5000$ i bet it would sell like crazy.

    no its not but they do anyways. they will just make up a different reason or just not contact you again. i get it alot being i have a skin issue and a disibalty i work with. employers are not supposed to but they do indeed discriminate and in this economy they have a huge line of people wanting work so they just say they gave it to someone else.

    as you said its there line of questions they ask. they don't what a jury that will vote agenst them and call the case bs. if they did the riaa would never win a case. the guy should take it to tril and maybe he will luck out with a halfway smart jury. if the evdance is as weak as the story clams none would convict a man over 1 degraded image.. hell anyone that uses the net has probably had this happen, i rember once on usenet there was a file labeled a game and it was relly some kid getting it. i destoryed the file with a 7 pass wipe dod standard. wonder if the fbi will be coming for me now.and anyone else that got foiled. and i agree with fragmentation over 2 years theirs no way the file could been recoverable. i have been hearing storys like this more often even on local news. and for any one that gets jury duty you do not have to do what they say. its your job to take the evdance and case and decided on what you believe is guilty or not.if you go agenst the juge ther isn't anything they can do to you other then never ask you to do jury duty again.

    ubuntu has been doing that with each release. 9.10 removed pidgin for empathy witch i personalty don't like it yes it can do voice chat but thats its only advantage over pidgin everything else it just seems to lack compared. and most linux user just use skype anyways. in fact 9.10 did not come with gimp it came with f-spot so this is old news. as for f-spot i agree it is good enough for most users. i dont do any major photo stuff on any pc and for those that do know of gimp aruldy. for you basic viewer and stuff f-spot does the job.

    acully your incorrect in saying thers no games that cant work for the blined. thers a quake 3 mod that uses more advanced sounds left right etc so they can aim at there target and it works they manage to score quite well. at least in a fps you can use good sound footsteps etc to target with no site. i don't know abought other games how they could work for the siteless.i dont think this suit has any merit games are just something they cant do no matter how well the sound is done. you cant play a mmo on sound alone.

    wine has been able to run a vires payload for a wile now. it doesent effect the system any. linux can spred a windows vires to a windows system but not get infected itsself. this is why linux antivires softwhere is out not to relly protect the linux system but to prevent accidentally sending a infected file to windows.

    unless there counting stuff like mp3s movies etc theirs no way the number can be that high. apps wise everything has gone free in some form. if your willing to look i guess. i dont have pirate softwhere on my machine anymore i dont need to any app i need has a free version. in some cases the free ones work better and use less system power to work the the paid version nero burning rom vs imgburn for example. or avast antivires vs anything paid. they have to be looking at games etc and not apps.

  13. Re:Why bother? on What To Do With a Free Xbox 360 Pro? · · Score: 2, Informative

    its a hassle. i don't even bother with modding mine being it wasn't until a few weeks ago any homebrew was released for it and its very first modchip all still very early. 360 linux lacks alot good sound 3d support etc. being none really cared abought it until just recently. i would give it away if your not going to use it for gaming. for a media center your looking for i would go with a small form factor pc theirs plenty out there. it would be small enough to set anywhere like inside a entertainment center top that with a wireless keyboard/mouse and a dvi or hdmi cable to your tv and a stereo to rca cable and your good may not need he rca cable if the sound card has rca out. end game you got a full pc connected to your hdtv some hdtv actually just have a vga port so the dvi cable may also not be needed.

  14. Re:Test on Why the Sony PSP Had To "Go" · · Score: 0

    wal-mart does not sell used games your thinking gamestop or other used retailers. i dont think the go will see any real sales. they have to taler to users that dont have credit and so on apple did this with there prepaid cards sony has not. then thers the very very large amount of people that want there media on disk being its always the most secure way to keep your media if lets say the console fail's. or the console reaches it end of life and the store closes how you gonna download you media then. and also if all data is lost download 32gb of media would just be a pain rather then putting in a disk.

  15. Re:UMD had to go but... on Why the Sony PSP Had To "Go" · · Score: 0

    that would be psp2 and that would be a next gen handheld new hardware etc maybe a second anlong people have been begging for wireless g a faster wbebroswer etc. go is just a psp in a new shell and the umd drive removed screen shrunk and a slide that can fail not to mention a battery you cant replace. the difference with nes and snes was snes was a totally new console not a rehash of a nes. umd failed as a movie format due to sonys pricing and the 1000 model not having tv out and not releasing a stand alone player at a lower price then a psp. entirely sonys fault for umd failing as a movie format. personly i like the idea of a umd movie it was a step in the right direction people whant there media smaller and easy to store but sony screwed it up at every step.

  16. Re:Why no second joystick? on PSP Go Debuts, Disappoints · · Score: 0

    i forgot to comment on the flimsy comment. wtf are you talking abought the psp is one rugged hand held. the 1000 fells like your holding a brick. infact that's why they made the 2000 light people where complaining of arms getting tired holding that heavy thing. they also improved the memory card holder and added tvout. personally the 2000 is the best model. yes its lighter but still very rugged and can take a good amount of abuse. just add a screen protector and you will never have a issue with a psp. my old 2000 is still working like new and its played alot.

  17. Re:Why no second joystick? on PSP Go Debuts, Disappoints · · Score: 0

    sony will not change the control system of a psp no matter how many new models they make. its a simple matter of not braking compatibly with older models. you would be pissed if they just dropped a second anlong in and now no new psp games work on your old model. this isnt a console where you can just change external controllers. maybe when they make psp2 they could add a second joystick until then any rumors of a dule anlong psp are just fake.

    psp go is indeed a download only psp. but they are not braking any compatibility with old psps. old psp systems can download and play psn titles. there relsing a psp 4000 all games will still be relesed on umd. even if they whernt as i said old psp systems can use psn downloaded games in fact thats where it all started. i dont like the go myself but dont make false clams of no more umds or old systems not being able to play downloaded games.
