I am the biggest nintendo fanboy that there is, but they consitantly pull this kind of shit. Before it was ultra 64 it was called Project Reality and it promised graphics similar to what gamecube has now. It then became Ultra 64 and was delayed and only footage was shown(example being Final Fantasy 64) and then eventually they released Nintendo 64. I really hope the big N doesnt do this again. Whenever I hear that stuff wont be playable I cant help but smell delay.
"That's right folks, along the lines of a classic 50s monster movie"
Yeah because most gamers are in their 50s/60s and would know what this means and remember. How does this work?
In the NY/NJ area, over a certain price they'll express ship for free. I've gotten stuff ordered at 7 pm the next day at 4 for no extra cost. Although amazon usually beats BN on price, if I factor in shipping, BN sometimes wins.
So there are two possible solutions:
1) TS files - mpeg2 hd files which tend to be quite large but play on slower machines. Movies tend to run 11-20 gigs
2) Mpeg4 - Much smaller. Much more cpu needed. 4-8 gigs
Video is very cycle intensive. Look at the amd and intel benchmarks for video. Intel always wins because their clockspeed is faster.The 1.25 ghz mac mini isnt going to cut it.
How is mac going to deliver gigs of content to all of these people in a speedy way? OC-192? Even if they got something even faster, people's connections would bottleneck the process. These things also dont have huge hard drives so it shouldn't be expected that they can store many movies at once.
Oh and guess what? Most people dont have HDTV and they arent going to run out and buy one that has a DVI connector(extra $$$) so they can plug their mac mini into it. The mac mini is simply what they state it is, nothing more.
outsource to another company to make a crack for source guardian. Its genius.

Sleep Less, Eat More?

The post says they sleep 1.8 hours less a week. A week. Thats.25 hours a day or around 15 minutes. All they found out is that fat people sleep 15 minutes less a day than thin people. I hardly think this suggests that fat people need less sleep than thin people because they do less.
It seems that people neglect to mention the fact that countless times a week announcements are made that some piece of Open source software has a security hole in it which will allow root access to some fat slob in a basement somewhere. Each OS has its problems and really you choose based on what you need, not the fact that 1 percent of the media out there might try to get you to install some search bar on your internet explorer.
I suggest if anyone here is serious they check out www.lumenlab.com . Yeah the plans are a bit more than free on tomshardware, but really strapping an lcd panel to an ohp is not really brain surgery. If you want a better projector which includes plans for a 17 inch lcd for higher resolution and a 7" lcd for portability then check that site out. The irc and message board support are infinitely valuable as well.

Seriously! Read the casual encounters section. I wonder if that really works. If you were a guy who was looking for BJs from a transexual, craigslist would seriously be your mecca.
Another funny thing is there are always a lot of posts like "Gay dude seeks straight male for discreet oral -- No reciprocation." To each his own and all, but I can't imagine that being successful.
You can't sue the car company because someone else dented your car or poured sugar in your gas tank. For all intents and purposes windows works, it's just third party interference that becomes a problem.
Lucas arts managed to not cancel a game that wasn't star wars related....
And now for the same joke with an obligatory full throttle reference.
Whooooa Lucas arts managed to not cancel a game involving someone name ben?
Example of bad result invalidating the prediction is when they thought that space was the ether and they were going to figure out how fast earth traveled relative to the ether which was thought to be still. When they did the experiment which involved light(I forget the specifics), they got no result. This of course kind of ruined the idea of the ether existing. bad result, invalidate prediction.
1) I will finally have techtv again on comcast
2) Techtv will have more funding which will provide for better programming.
I guess when you can't buy disney the only thing left to do is buy techtv. It's a sad world we live in when megaconglomerates can't get everything theey want
as boring and lame as it may sound, sales at compusa pays really well. I make 7.75 + 1% commissions + Spiffs + etc. Im averaging between 12-14 an hour here. There's a lot of bitch work, but whatever its fun.
Well upon reading through some of the replies to this post, I want to bring some thoughts of mine.
1) the subject of realism in games: Too some, realism in terms of graphics, might be only second to gameplay, but to many it's important. If a game we're somehow able to look like an hdtv football game on television, it would be a vast improvement to a lot of people.
2) the subject of hdtv: Someone said they should wait for hdtvs to be more prevalent, well i hate to break it to you, but they are. At this point there's not really an excuse to own one or be saving up for one except that you're one of those people who has to wait and wait and wait until the best thing is out, but any geek who likes gadgets doesn't operate in such a way. You can get an hdtv for around 400-500 bucks. Thats roughly 8 dollars a week for a year. 10 if you want to be fair. Nintendos new system wont be out for probably 2 years. By that time you could have saved 800-1000 dollars for a sweet widescreen set, and probably by that time 800-1000 will go a lot further than it does now. For about 1000 dollars right now you can get a good 32-36 inch widescreen hdtv set.
It's not as easy as it sounds. Hebrew is written from right to left and has a different way of writing vowels. It would probably take quite a bit of time to recode the entire thing to support hebrew.

If they had a caddie they would know that they could use a sand wedge to get it out. But nasa is far too cheap and doesn't like to tip.

Often misunderstood, the Turing Test is really a metaphor for the inability to tell if someone is gay or not.
It probably wouldn't be any less boring or more interesting than it is now. Your hypothetical reality presupposes knowledge of our current reality.

I heard the Bikes in Dave Mirra Freestyle BMXXX got some pretty sweet action, if you catch my drift. Hopefully the girls didn't catch anything.

I think that I have finally realized the missing part of this infamous formula:
1. Do X
2. ????
3. Profit.
The missing variable has been right in front of our eyes all along. It's sue everybody.
