  1. Compared to what? People who buy what could be described as music files on a plastic disc?

  2. Unless you're Chuck Norris.

    It's not "Wait to soon?" it's "What? Too soon?".

  5. Re:Why not just buy out every hardware vendor? on Apple Has Too Much Money · · Score: 1

    But I don't think we'll ever get Apple to support WebM, which makes it a dead-end solution too.

    Make sure that your electronic versions can all play together, so that people don't need the same version of the device to play against their friends.

    It may seem like a dumb request, but most Windows, OS X, Xbox360, PS3 and Wii games don't seem to understand this simple concept. Maybe it's companies who want to keep their users inside their own walls, I don't know.

  12. Re:OOH! SCARY STORY! on North Korea's High-Tech Counterfeit $100 Bills · · Score: 5, Funny

    In fact there are three freely convertible currencies in the Galaxy, but none of them count. The Altarian Dollar has recently collapsed, the Flainian Pobble Bead is only exchangeable for other Flainian Pobble Beads, and the Triganic Pu has its own very special problems. It exchange rate of eight Ningis to one Pu is simple enough, but since Ningi is a triangular rubber coin six thousand eight hundred miles along each side, no one has ever collected enough to own one Pu. Nigis are not negotiable currency, because Galactibanks refuse to deal in fiddling small change. From this basic premise it is very simple to prove that the Galactibanks are also the product of a deranged imagination.

  13. Re:US centric ? on The Best Streaming Media Player · · Score: 1

    If you go with worldwide, then the iTunes Store is probably your only option. I don't know of anyone else offering legal downloadable media in so many countries.

    Even Canada, which is so close to the USA in so many ways, doesn't have access to things like Hulu, etc. They're all USA-only services.

  14. Re:Mildly frustrating but awesome hardware. on PSVita Released In the USA and Europe · · Score: 1

    There's also a SD slot on the DSi. And a USB port on the Wii (the Web browser has keyboard support). And the Wii and DSi can play regular AAC audio files. And the DSi saves photos as regular JPEG images.

    I also don't see what RyuuzakiTetsuya meant by that.

    And what I mean is that over time, that 5% will turn into the 95% because of cross-polination, voluntary or not.

    In the end, you won't be able to find non-Monsanto crops anywhere.

    That 5% won't last, it's the same type of problem as the "top 5% downloaders" with AT&T.

    Q: You see this? This is you. I'm serious! Right here, life is about to form on this planet for the very first time. A group of amino acids are about to combine to form the first protein - the building blocks...
    [chuckles]
    Q: ...of what you call "life". Strange, isn't it? Everything you know, your entire civilization, it all begins right here in this little pond of goo. Appropriate somehow, isn't it? Too bad you didn't bring your microscope; it's really quite fascinating. Oh, look! There they go. The amino acids are moving closer and closer, and closer. Ooh! Nothing happened. See what you've done?
