I think Google doesn't like NEW sites. I run a high school alumni website, and it was at least 6 months before you could type in the title of the homepage (which was "[Town nobody has heard of] Alumni") into Google and have it listed in the top 10. Once it did start appearing in the top ten, it was still below sites that linked to it. Most of the higher results simply had "Alumni" in them and nothing with the town name.
After about 9 months, my site now has the #1 slot for that search string.
Same with my 7 yr old son. Works well on PC since he's still small enough to sit on my knee so we can share the keyboard.
On another note, I noticed they have a GBA version too. Looking at screen shots on Amazon shows the same quality that I see on the PC. Does anybody know if this is the case or not? I'm guessing "no" myself, but I'd buy it for the kid if it was the same. Usually GBA games aren't anything like there big console versions ones of the same name.
Sounds like the first computer virus from what I remember. The one where some repair shop in India had the virus lock the user out of the system. It kindly displayed an ad for the repair shop that said they could fix it though.
Its probably more of a shift in cost instead of an elimination of a cost. Now you need lots of high bandwidth servers instead of high throughput cd duplicators. Then you also need an IT staff to make sure the systems stay up and running.
If by "run" you mean "software executes as designed" then you are correct. Although I would interpret "run" to mean, does what the user expects it to do. Freenet will not load anything in a reasonable amount of time unless you open ports on the router.
Think about what you just said. We're talking about rendering millions of dots on the screen. Transferring coordinates/size/color info for each dot would easily blow right past the 5MB for those images. Not to mention the CPU power needed to parse and display it. An image format is the correct choice for this.
I'm not the ideal when it comes to responsibility, but c'mon. What the hell's the point in skipping work for a movie. It's not like some once in a lifetime concert that's only playing one night. This movie will be available on some form of media till long after you die!
My god people, READ!!! My original post had no flaming in it at all. This person flames me, I respond, and I'm an ass, an he's insightful. And "personal vendetta"??? What the hell are you even talking about.
Ah, so you actually believe the moderations that are saying you're insightful. You do realize those are put their anonymously and therefore we have no way of telling who made them, and what qualifications they have.
Now, to directly address your post.... do you have a serious point to make? I'm just not seeing it in the pointless insults. Not that you matter to me in any way. But you seem to take it upon yourself to educate me. Please feel free to post a link to the website your cult runs so I can read more about how anti-virus software is the one and only truly perfect solution in this world.
Although I must admit I am so jealous of your ability to "make" a firewall and anti-virus program "work". Did you get a PhD in clicking "Next", "Next", "Finish"?
You have no clue if the anti-whatever software you run has any underlying security risks either. I've helped many people with their computer problems, and 99% run anti-virus. Their problems usually consist of e-mail not working, or web access being cut off. Re-install their "protection" software usually resolves the problem. So one can infer that the quality of this "protection" software is not so high that it deserves such thoughtless usage.
Next time, ask questions instead of making assumptions. You obviously don't understand how somebody can live without "protection" software and you have chosen to live in such ignorance.
You won't need to re-install, just update the driver. Hmmmm....
Driver calling tech support...
Driver: I need some help, my car won't start. Tech Support: sounds like a driver problem. Driver: Hey, fsck you!!! I know how to start the damn car! Tech Support: No sir, I mean the driver for Windows. Driver: Oh, ok, sorry. Yeah, my kid is always screwing the damn windows. Up and down, up and down. I'll let you talk to him. Tech Support: Thank you sir, that would be easier for all of us.

Hardware advancement? Where's the hardware advancement in robots? It's motors and circuits and sensors.
It's still software that ties those components together in a meaningful way.
This actually is news. While the competition was from 2004, the rendering just finished yesterday.

Hope you don't go beating levels too quickly.
Ok, I give up. Is/was "trolltalk" a real article as some point? Why/how does it link to goatse.cx?
Ok, I think we'll need to draw straws to figure out who here is going to install it first.

Yes, the scroll wheel turns in the opposite direction

If I'm IN the DMZ, the firewall capabilities don't have any effect.
I said I never had a spyware PROBLEM. I didn't say I've never gotten spyware on my machine. I have, its immediately noticed, and removed.
Please link to any existing auto-run exploits in Outlook Express. Please be aware that I read all messages in plain text mode.
I do update my machine whenever new vulnerabilities are released. That is part of the common sense I was referring to.

Yeah, well maybe I should have put a disclaimer in my message. I am a programmer, and have been for about 15 years.
1.) No firewall
2.) No anti-virus
3.) No active anti-spyware
4.) Common sense
Never had a virus or spyware problem.
BTW, I run W2K in the DMZ on my router, use Outlook Express for e-mail, and used IE till about 6 months ago (switch to Firefox).
