Wikipedia has never claimed to be a democracy. Vote totals have never been the determining factor in decisions-the discussion is only meant to advise, not decide.
You are simply not going to get a machine capable of the same performace as the Xbox 360 for less than a grand. If you can show me a site which sells the equivalent parts of what you'd get in a 360 for $500, I'll stop arguing
An Xbox costs $400. Don't bother counting the worthless $300 version or the unbelievable bundles at the gaming stores-you'll be able to pick up a 360 at Wal-Mart or Target in the first week of release for the flat price, I guarantee it. This is already $600 less than the absolute minimum cost of a computer that can possibly compete graphics-wise. Add on to that a $200 video card every other year, maybe $100 in RAM every few years, and the cost of maintenance for a console is hardly comparable to a computer. Prefer PC gaming? Alright, I'm fine with that. Just don't claim it's cheaper.
Actually, Michael Robertson made a deal to sell him out to the US government, but once they have DVD Jon in custody they'll also arrest Michael Robertson for aiding and abetting and take his reward.
They don't have javascript enabled. As far as I can tell, he just used IE's magical ability to run broken code so that the browser would be able to piece together the mess he used, but Myspace wouldnt be able to tell it was javascript.
Didn't Sony do this with the PSP when it first launched and a huge majority of users just ended up using it as a movie player or emulator playing machine for the first year?
Fixed your sentence to point out that they didnt stop at the PS2.
The page on Earth doesn't talk about the "Is it flat?" controversy.
From Wikipedia's article on Earth: "Since Earth is rather large, it is not immediately obvious to the naked eye viewing from the surface that it is an oblate spheroid, bulging slightly at the equator and slightly flattened at the poles. In the past there were varying levels of belief in a flat Earth because of this."
Also, there's an entire article about it that goes quite in depth at Flat Earth
We all know that OSC is not only a mormon, but also batshit insane even given that. However, his writing is excellent, you really should check it out despite the author.
You have 17 wavebirds in your house? They have 16 channels to switch between to prevent that, you know, so there shouldnt be any reason to have two on the same channel unless you have 17 of them.
You've also got to consider that every freaking article is several short pages long and there are ads between most pages in each article. One article can easily be 20 pages.
Moving it around is just as bad as tilting it-you're still going to have an enormously harder time of not doing it at a party compared to accidentally moving your joystick.
Have you ever tried to hold a controller perfectly flat, especially while playing a multiplayer game? It's ridiculous and not any fun to do. Nintendo knows what they're doing, and they'll know that gyroscopes, except in special cases (the portable games that incorporate them, I believe there are Yoshi and Kirby games for DS and GBA, respectively, that do it, but they do it well. I doubt that possible on a controller.
1. Nintendo focuses on making sure all their available titles are high-quality, and 2. You want Nintendo to release a development kit, which will open the market to games of less-than-high quality.

This, with leopards.

As a point of interest, I believe all Xbox 360 games will be available up to 1080i, essentially matching your wondrous 1900x1200 resolution.

It seemed to work out well for Andrew Martin.

Should we send a repairman for your sarcasmometer? Taco's 'misrouted' comment was measuring at a 9.3 on mine.
I never had any problems with WinMX spyware before switching to Limewire ~a year ago.

Where the fuck is Preferences?
And why does it switch from Tools to Edit in the Windows/Linux versions of Firefox?
I seem to remember that architectures supporting their own OS only haven't historically lasted too long.
People have known that the world is round since Ptolemy's time, in the 1st century. Nice try, troll, but get your facts straight first.
Inacom ceded the entire low end of the computer industry to Linspire?
It removes other companies spyware along with the spyware it adds, as far as I know. Some sort of attempt to take out the competition, I guess.
Nanostray got a 2.

Now, your suggestion seems to be contradictory:
1. Nintendo focuses on making sure all their available titles are high-quality, and
2. You want Nintendo to release a development kit, which will open the market to games of less-than-high quality.
You can't have it both ways.
Are you really sure that OSS' reputation will be improved by junkmailing it to millions of uninterested homes?
