Why would it? A P4 or even a P3 is still more then enough for the majority of people. Unlike going from a 386->486->Pentium, when you upgrade from a P4 to whatever is current you get very little tangible results. That is the current problem, several generations ago they had chips that did what is needed well enough for some time. They have to enter a price war with AMD because AMD is the current favorite among people who are silly enough to upgrade every time there is a 5% increase in performance. Intel has a hold on the market of people that only upgrade when needed, which is bad for companies that rely on selling pretty much the same thing over and over with little more change then a new name and box.
You've got to admit that even 5 hours is more entertainment value than that other thing called "episode one" offered.
What Xenosaga? Hell no, I'm approaching 20h on it, have no clue what's going on, there's a feeling of anticipation every time I go around a corner and I picked it up for around $25. I have Episode 2 waiting and picked it up for about the same.
I would look at $20 for 5 hours to be a ripoff. A game at $20 for 5h or less is selling you 1/10th the game for only 1/3 the price.
Price is almost irrelevant as the cost of both the 360 and PS3 will come down, it only matters right at launch. Even then, a console will never 'win' based on price as the console on its own is useless if it doesn't have the games you want to play. Both the 360 and the PS3 have large franchises that almost guarantee good sales.
Consoles 'winning' or 'loosing' a generation only matters to the bottom line of the company making them. Users only care about the games available. You want to play Zelda, you have no choice of console, you want to play Halo, you have no choice of console, you want to play the next Final Fantasy, you have no choice of console. Win or loose didn't matter.
Isn't that pretty much what RPG console games are now? A series of canned responses to a limited choice of options, but with some combat graphics thrown in?
Ya but with the RPG's the story doesn't end for me in 3 pages. Progress is wonderful, and KOS-MOS kicks ass.
The term "Damn Yankees" dates to at least the American Civil War and was used (obviously) by the southern rebels. It's funny that he decided to, while partnered with a company based in Raleigh, take issue with that particular phrase.
Doesn't matter. If they never give you the speed you pay for, it's fraud. Otherwise, why wouldn't they sell you 12M internet?
Because that would be fraud. However with the absolutely perfect set of circumstances with their current setup you would get what you thought you were paying for. Like every other time in life, the perfect circumstances never happen and they can pass that off as not their fault.
Is if fraud when hard drive companies sell you a "250GB" HDD? It's the same thing here, you pick the description that makes you look the best.
Make it sufficiently profitable and that will change in a heartbeat. There have been exploitable problems in OS X, its not like it's impossible to do. Moving to OS X and staying an idiot user fixes nothing, it delays the inevitable for a bit.
Americans as a group are lazy. They spend most of their day trying to look busy while actually doing nothing. The stress they get from their job is often of their own doing, since if they would get stuff done if they would do it rather then work at avoiding it they wouldn't have to worry about everything relating to it.
I'm not saying that Americans are the only lazy people around, but to claim that Americans as a group have a work ethic is a joke. Looking at how hard people work to do no work, it's amazing anything ever gets done.
Often you're sleep deprived because of that 'stimulant addiction.' When it comes time to take an hour or so to wind down to get ready to sleep, you can't and end up spending a few hours you should be sleeping simply trying to calm down.
Everyone always assumes a huge datastore at home is for porn. It's just as likely that its for illegal downloads. Those movies and series take up a hell of a lot of space.

Leave it unsecured so that everyone can enjoy the rewards of your hard work. Thats what all the cool kids do.
Yes having seen the picture I have one thing to say.
"OVER MY DEAD BODY."

Not long enough yet, now the South will never rise again.
It's one less thing to worry about.
Spoke too soon, its still broken.
It looks like they are. There were some rendering problems with Konqueror 3.5.3 when it went up last night, but they seem to have been worked out now.

And the bar on the left renders wrong on Konqueror 3.5.3. The text draws in correctly then jumps up over the logo.
The colours are wrong though, I don't remember it looking this bad in the preview.
'Web 2.0' is just a bunch of wikis and people pretending to be important right?
Because its cool to like Nintendo and hate Microsoft.
On price alone

Linux is the most common OS after Windows

Hm, they have Red Hats for Computers now.
Grow a backbone and eat some real cheese. Not tofu crap, not whoknowswhyitscream cheese crap.
And eat that damn burger. There's kids starving in Japan damnit and you're going to turn your nose up at an American delicacy. For shame.

Of course. It runs on beer too.
