It's been so long I don't remember. I actually reviewed the game for a magazine. I'm kinda tempted to bring it out. The only level I was kind of frustrated with was the one whereyou walk - on foot - across some jungle floor to the safe base. Wierd.

Probably one of the best games ever. The graphics were phenominal for it's time. Too bad no one played it.
1) It SOUNDS to me, everwhere I read - here or Digg - that it IS over because Target is carrying them with exclusive endcaps. That is the prevailing opinion.
2) Walmart's revenue is 351 billion. Target's revenue is 59.4 billion. The Target news does not whipe out the WalMart news.
1) Target does sell the Xbox 360 HD-DVD and they also sell HD DVD players on their website.
2) You are underestimating the sophistication of the market if you think that just because you can't walk into your local Target and buy a BR, that is going to affect people from making an informed decision on what to buy for a relatively technical piece of kit. The internet wasn't around back in the day of Beta/VHS.
3) Target customer service for tech pretty much is non-existant. If you want to by something fancy/technology-wise and you're not an internet-informed / internet-shopper, you go to Best Buy or Circuit City - both are HD dealers.
4) Not saying who is going to win the format war, or if there will be a truth when/if folks just publish on a duel-format disk and the cost of duel-format players drops. But this isn't a huge blow that people are making it out to be.
You can currently gamble all day long in most states. At either a state-run casino or at a corner store selling state-run lottery tickets/scratchoffs.
This is about revenue. The state, as run by liberals/Democrats, frequently turns immoral activities into illegal ones - but then gets into the business themselves. How many of you are in states where liquir is only sold in state run stores, or where gambling is only legal when the state runs it or is getting a HUGE percentage of the take (way beyond a sales or income tax) or pay massive taxes on tabacco that are required to have a state 'stamp' on the pack.
In that statement, you make clear that you think you know better than Bungie what Bungie needs to be doing. And I simply asserted that you do not nor do we have any reason to think that you do.
This is similar to when I am driving and the person next to me starts giving me directions when they do not know the area nearly as well as I do - but they are presuming that they know better than I do what I need to be doing to get to a destination.
You do, actually. It's called impeachment and it's adminstered by people who are not term-limited. And you can do a recall every four years if you want.
Besides, your REAL problem isn't that you don't have the power of recall but that you recognize that even if you did, your fellow citizens do not support recalling this president.
Really? So no poor/middle class kids get elected to lead the free world? Off the top of my head: Clinton, Nixon, Carter, Lincoln, Reagan.
You are a dumbass and you reflect the slashdot mindset that is devoid of facts and reason and, in their place, find bumper stickers and false conventional wisdom. Run along, little boy.
You know, the USSR had an embassy in Australia. Since the US has an embassy in Australia as well, clearly the US is now a marxist dictatorship. Just calling a spade a spade.
There needs to be a 'political officer' in every department in the US. Do you know why? Because this is a democracy. People elect leaders who then direct the government through their appointed agents. I presume you prefer that government agencies not be run by agents of an elected official but are instead unaccountable to the people visa vi their elected officials.
You know, that way they can do silly things like ban cigars outright without being stopped by the head of thier agency who is appointed by someone who was chosen by the people who like cigars, right?
Actually, your stats betray the fact tha t Finland has vast areas where noone lives. Population is as dense or denser than most US states. Yes, Lapland is a BIG area with a technically low density for that big area but the people are not nearly as spread out.
Besides, there don't seem to be too many consequences to this internet connection competition. It doesn't track with unemployment or GDP per capita or anything at all.
This is just an excuse to wage some other battle. Just because you don't like that this person has an 'R' after their name or don't like her interpretation of the rules doesn't make them unqualified. She's totally qualified given her background.
Before joining the USPTO, Peterlin was Counsel for Legal Policy and National Security Advisor for the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Dennis Hastert, according to biographical information on the USPTO's Web site. In this role, she advised Hastert, House and Senate leadership, and senior staff on legislative policy and strategy, including judiciary issues such as intellectual property protection, the Web site said.
Peterlin also served as general counsel to Richard Armey, majority leader of the House of Representatives, the Web site said. She clerked on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals for Judge Jerry Smith and also served as an officer in the U.S. Navy for four years, working in the communications field, the Web site said. She holds a bachelor of arts degree from the College of the Holy Cross and earned a law degree cum laude from the University of Chicago, the Web site said.
Because they anticipate disuading people from accessing p2p through lawsuits and through legislative solutions that will make it more difficult to access this material. They will probably have TPB shut down at some point. It's not like they aren't working on all fronts.
The quality of online is at least as good if not better and is getting better than analog over-the-air radio. That's the crux of this. They see the way things are going. They see that wireless clouds are proliferating and that terrestrial radio may disappear as people carry around wireless internet radio devices. If they could stop you from recording off of HD radio, they would. If you can get your singles off the radio/internet radio, you don't need to buy it, and these guys are in the business of selling the music that they create.
You suggested that Bungie can learn from Epic because they were able to do it in GoW - so you were saying you could better direct Bungie's resources than they could. I'm saying that Bungie is aware of what GoW has done and that it doesn't fit with their game because they are different.
What you have to understand is that Halo 3 allows the two players to be in very different parts of the map at the same time. In GoW you get rubber-banded pretty quickly and even when you are on different routes, you are still pretty close together.
Like I said, don't presume you are smarter than Bungie in knowing these things.
Welcome. Something else that is ignored is that many officers are actually former enlistees who got their college degree while enlisted. Mustangs, some call them. At least in the beginning, they are better officers.
A) Your background counts for nothing. Besides, we're talking about the military here, not the USAF. (heh). All of the documentation behind the citations (including the NY Times - funny you missed that one) is an attempt to be scientific. Go look at the citations within the study that are cited? Straight from the source. What do you have on your side?
B) Racist? Wait, this is too good - you first attack the ENTIRE US MILITARY as dumber than the general public (which I refute). Then I make a comment about government parasites living off of my tax dollars, and somehow that is racist? Are you implying that all people who are part of a certain ethnic group constitute said parasites? Who is really the racist? And the hypocrit?
Is this why you liberals lose all your arguments? You accuse the other side of being racist to get them to shut up (doesn't work on me), and then you ignore real evidence while presenting none of your own.
Your statement and the rectangle-glasses wearing nerd corp who couldn't do a pullup or sexually satisfy a woman to save their lives (if that interests them) who modded you up WANT to believe what you just said, but it's not true. Not that it is really an issue for you at all.

I think when you read that much into a simple statement, you're really projecting your own baggage.
you obviously fail at trolling too.
No - he actually got you!

It's about $$$, ultimately.

I don't work for Bungie.

So I guess we don't live in a Democrat Republic, but are actually Bushinist?

And one day you will grow up and leave that for women.... or not.

And the OP is right - Krugman is a nut.

There is also a HUGE amount of over-the-air terrestrial radio that is booming - on the AM dial - thanks largely to Rush Limbaugh.
And there is always WFMU in Jersey City - listener supported, not low power, and not NPR.
