I believe the grandparent's definition of "steal it" means to actully steal the CD from the store, and "copy it" would be either downloading from a p2p program, or getting a friend that already has the CD to make a copy.
There's a very good reason that RPGs don't show up on portable consoles very often. How many consoles can be beaten in less than, say, 35 hours of continuous play? I can't think of a decent RPG that doesn't have a life of at least 40 hours in a straight run through, nevermind going through all of the side quests and other stuff that's optional. Battery life is getting better, but not that good. You'd still eat through 2 sets of batteries from a 35 hour game.
DooM3 isn't going to take place just on the surface of Mars (this iteration isn't on Phobos and Deimos). It's also going to have some action in Hell, and probably a little action on Earth, too.
AMD has nothing to worry about, they've got a stranglehold on 64-bit processing at the moment, and while Longhorn might be able to use this new Intel technology, it's not coming out until at least 2005, whereas a 64-bit version of Windows XP, and 2003 Server are already in a public beta test. AMD is right to be calm, because they've got nothing to worry about.
The Japanese are a non-nuclear country, just like almost every other country on the planet. The only confirmed nuclear powers are the United States, United Kingdom, France, Russia, China, Pakistan, and India. Israel is believed to have build nuclear weapons with South Africa back in the 80's, but they never declared it offically, so nuclear treaties like the non-proliferation treaty doesn't apply to Israel. After the damage done to Japan during the second world war, it's no small wonder that they're not interested in making a nuclear bomb.
Mass Transit has caught on in Europe. You have to pay a lot for your gas, but you don't have to own a car. If you want to go from Madrid to Amsterdam you can do so without using any private form of transportation, in the United States it's a lot harder to go from L.A. to S.F. without using a taxi or driving yourself, and they're closer than Madrid and Amsterdam.
As far as video cards goes, I've never heard of NVidia's tech support, because they never actully make the cards, all they do is supply the gpus to other third party sources and all your tech support goes through the respective company that made your card. ATI does that, but they also assemble cards in-house.
We should just stick with E.Coli for now. The entire E.Coli strain has been analyzed and modified to suit our needs. First we'd have to detect HIV, then cure it, then map it, then we could use it to treat cancer. I think the best thing we could do is use something like E.Coli to just eradicate HIV.
As far as the "racial cleansing" side of nanotech goes, the U.N. has a very strict policy on genocide. After the phrase was coined, and the devasation from the Holocaust was visible to the world, the U.N. made it standard policy to use brute force to stop any form of genocide that comes to the attention of the world.
As far as enforcement goes, well... just ask the Tutsi in Rawanda how helpful the U.N. was in enforcement. Starting some laws and treaties is fine, but wouldn't enforcement of the currently existing ones be a better idea?
The people at the Human Genome Project spend all their time staring at genetic code all day... and that's worse than software code... it's NEVER commented.
People like to consider their work as some kind of "art" form. Writers, Painters, Muscians. Back in High School my anatomy teacher considered surgery an artform. Most of my fellow geeks would agree that seeing a piece of code take shape could be artistic, and other engineering venues like architecture.
Are you insane? I've gotten the wrong part probably 50% of the time I go there. I get something, return home and attempt to install it, notice it doesn't fit, bring the original part back to Autozone with me, show them which part they gave me, and what I need. They're nice about giving me the correct part, but they need to fix the packaging problems.

I should use preview more often...
Gimmie the yottabyte drive already!
A trillion Terrabytes!

Before the release of Mario Party 5, Nintendo started to release advertisements that claimed Mario was running for president.
So it's 5 grand with a reserve... IT HAS FREE SHIPPING!

Clippy's back.
And he's PISSED OFF.

I wish I could CHARGE you with a crime...
I'm curious: is there really any reason, anymore, to avoid an AMD chip?
Maybe you have a shitload of Intel motherboards around your house? I don't, but it's possible...

Everyone is afraid of the danger of a germ. Before a lethal injection the inmate is given an alcohol swab, then injected with a sterilized needle.
Don't forget geeks.com The website isn't that pretty, but sometimes you can find a pretty sweet deal on computer stuff.

SCO has dropped their claim that the GPL is unconstitutional
Nevermind how stupid that sounds, but when does it matter that a non-government document is unconstitutional?
Yeah that will so work... even though the cameras use infared spectrums... thusly they don't use a flash.
This reminds me of the Penny Arcade strip about the new Tribes game... When is the RIAA just going to let it go?
