Uh, fill a rectangle selection or circle selection in with the paint tool. If you need to make them hollow, you can use the subtract selection option to carve out the innards of your circle (and if, furthermore, you need this to not erase the background, you'd best do it on a separate layer).
The companies offered a 35% increase in the rate for voice-over actors, to $750 from $556 per four-hour session, by 2008.
The agreement reached Wednesday would increase the rate to $759 over the same period, with an immediate 25% increase to $695. It also includes a 7.5% increase in contributions to the unions' benefits plans.
The Cortana emails strongly suggested such a link, so if you can find those, there should be all the evidence you need right there... I'm not too familiar with the Marathon storyline, but IIRC the emails implied that an AI from the Marathon universe (Durandal, I think) survived the destruction of his/its own universe and was reincarnated as Cortana.
Actually, one of Nintendo's major points in their conference was that the PSP and the DS are *not* selling the same - the DS has sold over twice as many units, and will almost certainly keep its current lead through the end of this year (or extend it, if the 3-to-1 sales burst due to Nintendogs keeps up, though that's not terribly likely).
In the trailer it looked pretty involuntary and painful, so I'm guessing it's of the curse variety. That said, in Zelda: Link to the Past, you got transformed into a pig for stepping into the Dark World without proper protection (the Moon Pearl... hmmm), and it seems to me that Link is already in the "twilight zone" when the transformation begins - maybe that's the cause.
Sure it could. 512MB would store 8 of the largest possible N64 games (at 64MB) uncompressed. As I recall it, only Resident Evil 2 and Conker's BFD were ever that large. Thus, you're guaranteed space for over 8 games. The two Zeldas clocked in at 32MB, and Ogre Battle 64 was 40MB. With compression, I'd guess that the average size of a game would be somewhere around 20MB (not that Nintendo made lots of 20MB carts, that's just where I'd expect the balance to fall, considering the number of 16MB and 32MB carts). SNES games range from 1 to 4MB; you could literally fit hundred(s) of them in that space. NES games? Quite possibly a thousand of those.
Fairly trustworthy specs have already been leaked by the company providing the RAM (MoSys) for the Revolution. They've stated that the system will have a custom 2.5GHz, four-core G5 processor (pretty comparable to the 360's 3.2GHz three-core G5 processor), 512MB of their RAM (again, like the 360), and a next-gen ATI gfx processor w/16MB of extra RAM.
Actually (dredges memory for early console wars info), IIRC Nintendo found it cheaper to not use DVD drives, because they had to pay a tariff or levy of some sort on every DVD-enabled device sold internationally, of about $20. Doesn't sound like much, but that would make a tenth of the original price of the console (or a fifth of its current price), so it probably did mean a lot to them.
Nope. Google's got theirs set to slowly increase with time - it's currently closing in on 2.2GB. Every day or so they add a few more MB (about 150 since April 1, I believe)... so Google's probably not worried about AOL overtaking them in some silly storage space war. Not much of it is getting used, anyhow - I've still only filled mine with about 14MB of stuff, it's growing far faster than I can fill it.
Well, they certainly need their friends in the EU right about now. I don't think coming up with "Windows XP Reduced Media Edition" earned them many brownie points (and yes, I know they settled on "Home Edition/Professional Edition N," but that was the EU's suggestion).
I find it very useful when writing in other (and, for me, non-native) languages, like French; it certainly doesn't give me the grammar of a Parisienne, but it can fix small problems - putting verbs in the right tense, making adjectives/adverbs, agree with the rest of the sentence...
I believe I heard that Nintendo's Revolution *will* be able to connect to computer monitors, but unfortunately I cannot remember where... it was one of the pieces of information that came out around last E3. Can anyone confirm this?
Reminds me of the Far Side cartoon... bunch of knights preparing to joust, while one of them is crying "Skins? Why do we *always* have to go skins? I'm telling you guys, this is a bad idea!"
Right here. Nintendo has stated that the game is set after Wind Waker. If by sequel you mean that you want a game with a similar artistic style, try either "Four Swords" or "The Minnish Cap," (Four Swords is really only worth it if you have friends to play along with, however).
Re:How do I automatically kill history in Firefox?

Set it to accept cookies for current session only, have it remember history for past 0 days. Don't worry about the cache, as IIRC it's encoded such that it only means something to the browser (not left with the same title as the cached webpage item or even its extension).
Arguably, Slashdot "adds" the comments section, as well as a decent categorization system, and a searchable index of pretty much every bit of news out there that might be interesting to a geek (sometimes several times over:) ). And it doesn't have to have ads, you know. That's what FireFox and AdBlock are for.
Plenty of reasons why it would be hard to get broadband that have nothing to do with his parents' willingness. It wasn't always easy to get good broadband everywhere. Some places were probably stuck with satellite, for example, which stinks for online games (really bad latency, crappy upload because it's tied to dial-up for that part).
Or, y'know, they might be holding out for a larger non-zero amount of cash. It's not worth zero to them, particularly considering all of the work they'd already put into Sam & Max 2...
Sounds funny, but that's actually quite possible, in the sense of "war-drive-by virus." I can imagine somebody crafting trojans that adapt to mimic and replace files found on unsecured wifi networks.
It's one of two "concept shots" that EA released a while back showing the estimated capabilities of next-gen systems. They also showed a fairly nice racer screenshot with a very high-poly car and trees with good-looking autumn leaves... quite impressive, assuming that they really do approximate next-gen graphics. The folks over at The Magic Box had both of them a while back, but you'll have to dig around to find them.

How about OpenOffice.org itself? It can export to PDF files - there's a big option for it right under the file menu.
Slightly more reasonable, I guess.

There's an SNES emulator out, too, whether or not TFA mentions that (haven't R'ed it) - it's a port of snes9x.
