Pac-Man on the Atari 2600 [...] fun for the whole family
Pac-Man on the 2600 was crap for the whole family! Atari released an unfinished prototype, and made more copies of the game than existing consoles. It was, deservedly, a commercial disaster.
The average 14-year-old power gamer/HALO addict is going to vomit with rage over this name and call it the "Nintendo Pee". Too bad for him the MOM usually makes most purchasing decisions in a typical household. Mom is going to be very interested in something that looks good, is cheap, and conveys fun.
Of course, that mom will simply look at her son's terribly disappointed face and think: uh-oh, seems like I made a huge mistake! I'll just put it back in the box, return it to the store, and get one of those Xboxthreesixty thingies that he wanted!
Well, someone had to come up with a name for a console, and the best they could get was Wonderswan. I can accept that. But when you ALREADY have "Revolution"... a suitable and awe-inspiring name, with lots of extremely positive buzz going on... then you THROW ALL THAT AWAY, and name it something that sounds like a childish slang for urine! I mean, really, WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!?!
Nintendo seems to have a tradition of cool-sounding codenames changed to dumb release names. But this one is the worst ever.
Ultra 64 == amazingly powerful Nintendo 64 == bland and meaningless
Dolphin == agile and ellegant Gamecube == bland and meaningless
Revolution == something completely new and really awesome Wii == DUMBEST NAME FOR A GAME SYSTEM, EVER. Really, I just checked the list of consoles at GameFAQs, and none had a name THAT stupid. Congratulations, Nintendo, you have just commited suicide!
If you get an error while installing (or booting the live CD), the problem may be bad/incompatible hardware. And Ubuntu seems to be too picky about that! Try other distros; my dad's PC won't run Ubuntu at all, but Kurumin and BeatrIX work just fine!
When I first glanced at the article I thought it said "Abrahams", as in Jim Abrahams and David Zucker of "Airplane!" fame. I think they should be the ones doing this movie and rename it "Starship!".
Not really the same thing, but check Airplane II: The Sequel, it even has a William Shatner cameo! Oh, nad the first movie had three directors, not two: Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker - also collectively known as "ZAZ". None of them worked on Airplane II, though.
Likewise, the fact that you wore fishnet crop-tops in High School and know the words to "Express Yourself" by heart does not endow you in the inalienable right to get in to Madonna's concert for fifty bucks when others are willing to pay five times that for the same seat.
Actually I think anyone who actually likes Madonna's early stuff should not pay a dime now, since she didn't do anything worth listening since the early 90s!
Hey, you americans are lucky to have a president with an MBA! Here in Brazil we elected a man who barely completed high school and worked mostly as a machine operator in a car parts factory. Not to say he's dumb, oh no, he was smart enough to set this country's greatest corruption scheme ever...

I liked Kyle Petty's No Fear Racing much better than Mario Kart. Of course, neither came even close to F-Zero.
Olds for nerds, stuff that will still matter after ten thousand years.
In GundamWing, a "computer text" background was, I believe, the readme for a scanner's TWAIN driver.
For a moment I wondered what was Microsoft's purpose in acquiring a movie special effects software , which is not their usual business...
Sorry, the correct link has been removed from the roadmap and disabled in the builds.
Never let open-source programmers decide the name of their applications!

...and I mean people like Bill Gates and Ken Kutaragi. Hey, it's not every day that a rival commits suicide!
Wii hates it, wii hates it, wii hates it for ever!

But it's not "GIMP", it's "The GIMP".
