That thing looks an awful lot like a disk drive for a desktop PC (and about the same size, too). What are the odds Nintendo allows you to use it in a computer? That would be very interesting indeed.
I prefer the PS3 over 360 because of the simplicity of design. 360 with the PC-like design and buttons and whatnots all over the machine makes my eyes hurt. PS3 is simple and efficient, and has everything you need. Nintendo is still the winner, however.
Comparing the Wheel of Time series to the Amber series is kind of...completely wrong. Having read both, Amber is on a plane far above WOT in almost every category.
So...you don't count the original series? It seems like it should be some sort of backhanded insult of the original series, but I don't get it. Explain yourself.
I'm a bit confused at the use of the term FUD. Explain what you mean by that, because I don't see how they're making people lose trust in other Star Trek series in order to make people stay with Enterprise.
Or is it just that you don't actually know what the word means.
But that's the 99th percentile, not the 90th. He said top 10%, which I'm guessing is a lot more down to earth than that-somewhere in the low six digits, if I had to guess.
Bad analogy, because that assumes the proprietary software (new cars) is a better quality than the OSS software (used cars). While this may be the case in the MSOffice/OpenOffice duel or others, it clearly isnt so in many other categories, most obviously Firefox/IE
On slashdot, at least, it breaks down to about 60% IE, 30% Firefox, and 10% assorted (Safari leading)

They play music videos. I watch them every day (lie, but work with me here). They're on every day from 2 AM to 6 AM CST, their primetime slot. When else would Music Television put their music?
Get off your soap box, you aren't as unique as you think you are. Your statements are meaningless, meant only to incite people to rant away at what they don't understand. I refuse to take the bait.
The quiz asks 'Which company has sold the most game consoles?', and answers 'Sony' rather than 'Nintendo'. does this not factor in the 110 million Game Boys? Dumb.
Might they be holding out to unveil it at the Tokyo Game Show, so that they can completely steal the headlines for the entire show instead of sharing space with the other systems at E3?
The PSP is definitely an overpriced piece of shit, but the DS is a mediocre underperforming gimmick. Both sides did rather poorly in this battle, I think.
By far the best gaming magazine in the past few years was the short-lived GMR magazine, which was EB's version of Gameinformer. It was written by some great people who I've talked to a few times, and had the best articles, reviews, previews, and sense of humor of any magazine out there. It was the gamer's magazine. Unfortunately, the plug was pulled on it a few months ago (in hindsight, maybe because of internal knowledge of the GS buyout?) and it's gone forever now. For those interested, I'd definitely check out a back issue; even if the info is outdated, it's worth it.

Not sure /. is the best place to be advertising Firefox. We get it.

Yeah, Odysseus said it in "The Iliad". I know, I saw Troy.

It's a SFF book. Nerds like SFF, haven't you heard?
Just a note: the Jurassic Park GUI was, surprisingly, real. It was the FSN filesystem, made by Silicon Graphics.
May I be the first
No.
I smell an episode of Fear Factor in the making....

I once killed an endangered squid-left it in a freezer overnight. I got out of a fine by saying it reminded me too much of a metroid.

People have posted about it multiple times when hosting mirrors and such. The numbers quoted are always about the same.

How could it suck?
Let me count the ways...
I'm only doing this job since january.
This is the teacher?

How did you end up with excellent karma? That is the worst troll I have ever seen modded up.
Go die.
