Wow.... I bet I can get mine signed by Cap't Lou.... he goes to the bar next to where I work...
He hasn't aged well at all... but still has at least one rubber band!
GO CAP'T LOU! YOU ROCK!
You forget that when the Xbox was launced, Halo wasn't a "name" either... it had a good reputation going in, and Bungie was known as a good studio but it wasn't a slam dunk name like Mario or Zelda.
I have a few boxes of the PS/2 ones, as well as a couple of the newer USB ones... get to be friends with a Radioshack Manager, and you can get them as well. I had some thought to E-Bay them... but I'm too lazy to A) set up an E-Bay account, and B) mail them out *grin*
Big boobs and being stupid as hell means you make great music. Doesn't everyone know that?
So, Anna Nicole Smith is the next big star? Uggg.... there's a shudder of revulsion that just crept down my spine.
Second phone from Sprint to have Bluetooth... they released the Sony Erricson t608, but only through Telesales, and it sucked... so it may be better to say that it's the first good Sprint phone to have Bluetooth:)
(This probably only helps if you're in the US) Tell whomever to go shopping the day after Thanksgiving to get the DVD player for $19.99 at Radioshack, WalMart, etc...

Didn't somebody hack a Gamecube to run Linux? I forget who hacked what to whom... I do remember that the Dreamcast could run Apache on Linux, and that's probably the cheapest console to get to run something like that.... if you can find one.
Clear Channel? They own 2% or less of XM, and may provide a few stations... they dropped so much of their stake in XM, that they lost their seat on the board last year...
Howard comes on in 2006! That's a year and a half... geesh...
I have both services, and often listen to Sirius, so I don't want to come across as knocking them, I love the music on a few stations, and really like the NFL station.... but those seems like pretty lame reasons to drop XM.
That's correct... Sirius can't rebroadcast content that is not exclusive to them... therefor, they don't stream over the web, the talk programming, the sports programming, or the news programming... just the music. At a very low bit rate, so it's not the greatest sounding either.

That's most likely... by creating a model disease in a biological system, different drugs can be tried out on it to test efficacy.
There are all sorts of protocols like this already... ie, EAE (Experimental Allergic EncephaloMyelitis) where they give mice... um... artificial MS, then test drug canidates out on them to see what the effect is. It's not very nice to watch.
That's why I'm glad that I'm in molecular studies. However, it's done to help people with these diseases, and animal reseach is really the only way to conduct some of these tests.
My iBook had a problem with the battery (it would just refuse to charge at all.. not good for a laptop). I took it to the Apple Store, they promised that it'd be back in 5 day [Sunday] to [Friday].
I got my computer back in 31 days... not good.
I had installed 512 Mb Ram into it... it wasn't in there anymore, whoops. The first stick they sent me didn't work... whoops. Then the second one worked finally. The day after I got that one, I got a third stick in the mail.
God bless Apple, but I hope they can do it a bit faster next time.
ICO is the finest experience in gaming? What crack are you smoking? I realize that it's a commonly held good game, but the finest experience ever? I think not. Look at the sales of that, and realize that as good as it is (I have it, have played it, and thought it okay), it is not games like ICO that make a system dominent.
There are good games for all the systems like Zelda, Halo, FFantasy #(pick you favorite), and noe of them make a system dominent ever, it's a complex confluence of points... marketing and hype, price, eye candy, "coolness factor", third party support. There are systems that had the "perfect storm" of all of these, NES, SNES, Playstation, PlayStation 2... but to prodict the sucess or failure a year and a half out of anyone getting their hands on one of these systems is pretty absurd.
Nintendo has heart, Sony had brains, and Microsoft has a freakin big wallet. Any one of them could work to make the next big system.

Heh... love that sig...

Don't worry about it... you can see Katie Holmes' in the preview...
Enough with the iTunes... can't this guy hack Napster or Windows Media encryption?
Who's got more lawyers... Apple or Intel.. that'd be interesting to see... like a reality show for geeks.
Also good to see...
Nintendo vs. Sony
IBM vs. Microsoft
or
SCO vs... (oh wait a minute... never mind)
Wouldn't that be one big company, and two gi-normous companies? I mean, I'd probably rank them from smallest to largest as Nintendo:Sony:Microsoft....

However, DirecTV may be in the process of developing their own DVR so that they don't have to rely on Tivo anymore...

Mmmmm..... games....
I agree... the filters arond here are kinda lame, which one tagged you with something?
But, the one place Big N has dominated has been handhelds... Let's see launch price of the PSP, but the DS looks like another home run!

Unless they are worried about another company, and then they go open source... ie, PS3 and OpenGL to compete against Microsoft's XNA...

No you're not... we just havn't gotten around to telling you yet...
