I would definitely recommed "The Ultimate History of Video Games", by Stephen Kent. It's about 600 pages long and is a comprehensive history of videogames from the 1920's pinball tables to 2001, with special emphasis on the activities of the 1980's. I read it in about a week, it's fascinating stuff for anyone interested in the field.
As far as I know, numbers 2 and 4 have already been covered before it was even released in America, and number 7 is a matter of preference-Lumines, Ridge Race, and Wipeout Pure are all getting excellent reviews.
You'd be amazed. Most of the papers I peer-reviewed in my College Writing I class read like stream-of-consciousness prose (this was suppposedly a 'professional' essay, btw, not just a story or other form of paper in which writing in that method would be acceptable). I was shocked to see just how poor it was.
Apple users, in my experience, use a much more diverse group of programs. From what I've seen, the market is about split between OSX IE and Safari, with some Firefox use (note: I've never seen anyone use Camino, strangely)
What if John Doe wants to do online banking that uses some program/applet? He'll need to download it, but he clearly has no idea what it is. It can't be the same as 'cancel', but it obviously cant just be OK. Some middle ground is needed.
25% of what? Your paycheck? Do other earnings (inheritances, lottery winnings, etc) count? Money earned internationally? There are many other arguments, but the phrase 'flat tax' needs a lot more definition and again, regardless of how you phrase it, there will always be a loophole.
OpenOffice is at least equal to Microsoft Word in the word processor field, if not better. However, everything else in the program (their poor excuses for competitors to Excel and Powerpoint) is still miles behind Office 2k3 or even 2000. Until they get the rest of the 'suite' at least equivalent to MSOffice, I won't switch.
I felt Going Commando was a letdown. While the platforming aspects were great, just as in Sly Cooper 1, the overly populous minigames (the flying, gunner, and skateboarding missions) were all very poorly done and brought the game down. Sly Cooper did the same thing with its driving and gunner levels. Both of the sequels to these games (UYA and Band of Thieves) corrected this error, removing the annoying levels (especially the space flying missions from Going Commando) and fixing the ones that remained so that they were tolerable and even fun at points (the 'hacking' levels from Sly 2 were great). UYA also greatly upgraded the weapon system with the huge variety in upgrades. How you can say that the jump from GC to UYA was 'marginal' is beyond me.

On most sites, there's legitimate news with an april fools joke snuck in.

I think you were ripped off...
I'm a bit confused. You modded me +1 and replied to me? I'm afraid either you're somewhat confused, or Im extremely uninformed.

Unintentional or not, that deserves a +5 for pure irony.

Not to be too cliche, but how fitting that I got the 'Nothing for you to see here' line several times trying to see this story.
I can't imagine that what they've done doesnt break some copyright law somewhere-what are the odds Rockstar sues?
But then the roll is meaningless, since the modifier is already enough to...oh...

A $250 PC is going to be absolutely worthless for any modern games, so comparing the two is ridiculous; their functions are totally different.
Someone recommending OSX or Linux over Windows on Slashdot? INCONCEIVABLE!
I was merely using online banking as an example of 'important function that John Doe would use online'. Substitute whatever you want to replace it.

Technically, the same thing worked on the MIT admissions page, and they made the same announcement.

To make the most of a 64-bit CPU, you need to have programs to use it (i.e. games), so yes, to make the most of a 64-bit CPU, you need Windows.
Yes, Madden NHL. That's where the season went! He ate it!
They stole the rankings from Virtua Fighter 4!
Yes, and no one complained that ENIAC took up an entire warehouse, either...
Technology gets smaller.

No dice
See, that's obvious-it only reads 0 and 1. If it was a die, it would need more than 2 sides.
