I installed Ubuntu 5.10 on my desktop last night. The default option was that it was going to automatically partition my disk. I had to go through a few menus in order to do it manually. Then, it selected a compatible video driver and automatically setup X for me, aside from my preferred resolutions.
7. Feng Shui Experts - This is perhaps the most important of all, it helps keep my wife from re-arranging the furniture. "But honey, they HAVE to be arranged that way."
They also help bring me more money and rare items while playing Animal Crossing.
'Kill' was a little strong for how I meant to use it. What I really meant to say (and can now find any data backing me up) is that Reiser4 deals with the disk so intensely that it uncovers flaws and errors that other filesystems may (A) never find, or (B) live with.
I'd look through the Namesys page, but it's large and the TOC didn't reveal any warnings.. or I wasn't looking hard enough.
Reiser4 kills old disks, supposedly. I (mistakenly) used it on my (at the time) year old laptop, and after about 4-6 months I kept getting something like "drive seek complete" errors. It got to the point where it wouldn't boot because of the errors. So I had to reinstall everything, and no data could be saved since reiser4 hated my drive. Been running Reiser3 ever since, and I haven't had any problems.... yet.
If it's any consolation, my Toshiba Satellite 1115-S130 (?) does the same exact thing, except it was purchased two years ago. I can leave a compilation running while I'm out of the house unless I leave the lid open enough for heat to escape, or else I come back to my laptop off and usually not functional when I boot since my updated software is looking at old config files.
Plus I get the same problem I've seen with two other Toshiba notebooks so far where it will stop charging the battery, even though the AC adapter is plugged into both the wall and the laptop firmly.
Agreed. In Family Guy, I can get almost every joke in one sitting of the episode. Futurama, OTOH, I've seen each episode probably 5-10 times each, and I usually spot a new joke that I didn't catch on to before.
You're paying for a license to play the game until you need a backup copy of the game. But when you do need a copy, you're suddenly paying for the physical media.
When I played WoW and got into the lore, I played Alliance, and I felt kinda bad for some Horde races. Both the Orcs and the Undead were manipulated in horrible ways to do the bidding of others. All the while the Alliance races seemed extremely power-hungry.
Did anybody do something right this year? Nintendo obviously made a mistake with the Revolution (I mean.. next-gen.biz says so, it must be true!). EA made a mistake with Madden on 360. MS made a mistake with the 360 launch. And Sony made a mistake with the PSP launch. I guess nobody can do right in their eyes.

Can I please slap him after American Graffiti? The original Star Wars trilogy was decent and all, but the acting and dialogue was atrocious. He is still a horrible writer, as shown in the latest trilogy. It's really sad when his dialog makes (normally) good actors like Liam Neeson, Ewan Macgregor, and Natalie Portman look like they have all the charisma of a piece of wood.
I didn't take this message as supporting piracy, so much as artists don't want to be screwed. I suppose DMB, Phish, Grateful Dead, Bela Fleck, and tons of other artists who allow live recordings to be redistributed for free among their fans also support piracy?
He was referring to Blizzard. And SoE might as well be a different company than SonyBMG. You think [if SBMG] actually made a decent amount of money and wasn't whining about sales declining, they'd throw money at SoE if they needed it? I highly doubt it.
My point exactly. If you've seen the Nintendo promotional video, you'll have definitely gotten this point. Sure, they all look like douchebags playing it (and, sure, they're overacting), but you still wanna see what's so exciting to make them act like douchebags.
Because absolutely nobody has bought a video game console since they were introduced, right? Not everybody is going to play it, but some will see people acting like fools playing it, then become interested in it. It'll probably look more like fun than people playing with controllers staring at their screen like a zombie (much like I do on my computer).
Yes, that does sound awfully elitist of you. Non-gamers will know about the Revolution for the same way they knew about it in the 70s. Print ads, TV commercials, billboards, word-of-mouth, and such. They may not be going into GameStop, but they're probably going into Best Buy. They can see it on display there. They can see it as they're shopping next Christmas in the mall and walk by one of the many game stores. You're acting like gaming is hush-hush. Its not Fight Club. It is possible for people to see something they've never touched and comment on it to their other friends who are not familiar with it.

But the creator of the FTP program is not providing the network to share the files. Sharman Networks created the software and provided a master server that told the clients what was available.
Do I feel they're responsible for what their users shared? No. Is it the same as the situation your presented? Again, no.
True. But 90% of the US does not have an HDTV. And I'm sure even less have one that supports 720p (my 4:3 ratio HDTV only has support for 480p and 1080i). It's in the way that it's promoted where everything breaks down. The stores make it seem, and likely tell consumers, it will look that good on any TV.
Majora's Mask is much more fresh in my mind. Last time I played LA was shortly after it came out with a friend's Game Boy. Sadly, I never owned the game myself.

Wouldn't the NGE be more like a sex-change, rather than a suicide? I mean, the game still functions, just very differently.

Seconded. I had a NetVista and the motherboard inexplicably died after a year or so.

There is an exception to Rule #1. The original Xbox was nearly universally praised here, if only for its hackability.

Are they finally gonna make the game he presented?! It's gonna be great!

It's sometimes harder to tell when rabid fanboyism is in place.
