a mile has some odd number of yards which have 3 feet which have 12 inches
a kilometre has 1000 metres which have 100 centimetres
You tell me which seems more intuitive
and if you can reduce the speed of light to an intuitive number then you'd win a nobel prize
Try converting it to your archaic system
As for their reason of creating metric, is was to make a better system that was easier and more logical
then its difficult/impossible to get drivers for all hardware (as if linux has it in the first place) if its not on the CD itself. Also, I dont wanna reboot everytime I wanna play a game. I'd like to keep bit torrents, messengers, gamefaqs.com open in the background.
Given Saddam's previous track record, there likely would have been 20,000 dead if the protests had their way and their hero Saddam was still around to fill the body pits.
Nobody gives a f--- about those figures, including you
Im sure if he didnt care he wouldnt have quoted it. And if no one else cared we wouldnt have gone to war
It is all the lies, coverups, half-truths and bleating in the name of 'war of terror' that is pissing people off.
Are you one of those people who think the moon landing was fake to? Also, you seem to be the only one getting pissed off, settle down there
This is a myth. Here in Canada everyone, government included, was not against the war. We already had our army sent elsewhere. And we know Saddam was a monster who liked slaughtering millions of people, mustard gassing/bombing iran, etc etc, is hitler reincarnated, and must be taken down. The fact that some ignorant masses were against it was insulting to us seeing the atraucities Saddam committed over the years. Dont go saying the US did the same, even in the light of the prison abuses, they still weren't as bad as what the IRaqis did to their prisoners
MS didn't release the virus, they shouldn't have to pay for it. AND, they gave the sysadmins the antivirus ages ago, its their fault for getting caught
its easier to write anti-virus's when you have the source code to the virus. also, its easier to deter more virus's when you have the head of a virus writer on a stick
MS put a firewall in xp since day 1, by definition thats not neglicence. Your analogy is as flawed as all hell. This is more like having a deadbolt on your door, but crooks just use a bazooka on the wall next to it and walk through the hole.
sorry troll but xp works fine out of the box, is stable as your house, and insecure for only five minutes after it gets online and downloads all the updates. last time i checked, linux needs updates too, does that make it 'horrible'?
Im afraid a wireless adapter wont do that. Plus if you RTFA, this is a cartridge with a build in wireless transceiver. ie: no other game can use it. You also spelled competition wrong, and simply adding wireless to GBA wont allow it to compete on the same level as PSP, thats what DS is for
XP has Windows Restore, which also automatically sets a restore point every time you install new drivers, and software made for XP. And time you go into safe mode, it asks if you want to go to a previous restore point.
It shouldnt be hard for linux to copy Windows Restore
MS cancelled their XSN Sports games for this year too. Maybe they've finally realized that people don't want a new sports game every year which is almost exactly the same as last years only with an updated roster database which in this day and age, should be downloadable.
Considering EB doesn't accept trade ins on sports games, I'm sure the retailers are happy too.
Cube is ONLY outselling in japan, and last time I checked, the majority of/.ers are not in japan. In the US it is slightly ahead (as you admittided), which therefor it outsold Cube.
Japan isnt an accurate representation considering most japanese have admitted they dont buy xbox just cause its american and big.
none of the features you bitched about seem desirable. as for a built in search bar, its had it for ages. When you type into the url bar, it pops up Search For 'text' if its not already a url.
And what do you mean by IE catching up? It seems like all the other browsers have been catching up to IE since they can barely render pages made for IE
Where'd you get your information? They aren't having trouble with the XBOX considering its outselling GameCube. There are tons of XBOX games that I like, moreso than GameCube has (People are complaining about the lack of Cube games) Their games are excellent. But every game (Except Zelda 3) can be better. As for slacking off, look towards the purple cube of non-onlinishness you troll

Im sorry to hear you weren't against rooting out a man who slaughtered thousands of people. Evil can flourish in your world, not mine.
When have facts mattered to a /.er?

and as for the other adapter which can be used on diff games, the guys who made afterburner are working on what will probably be a better one

Prince of Persia was a side scroller on steroids, BG&E was Zelda on steroids. I think I'll take the Zelda one

As for some patches causing trouble, I seem to remember an update for OSX that neutered the network adapter.
As for DLL hell, that was cured in XP/2K which keeps multiple versions of DLLs

So you are a closed source program?
and please, some one please kill gary coleman off
According to everyone else on /., closed source is the devil.
Soon they'll install DRM in the tin foil so you can't use it without paying a monthly fee, and it'll cover your eyes when you try to go to /.
