"Revolution may not even be the name of the bloody thing?"
Less than a year ago, we still didn't know the official name of the XBox 2. That doesn't mean that people weren't looking forward to it.
I had the same problem when my old Intellimouse Explorer (1.0) started going out. I've had it for at least 4 years, but the buttons developed a stutter. I went to replace it, but couldn't find anything with the wonderful thumb buttons (yes, two) like it had. They are perfect, perfect size and placement. They were great for games (one for reload, one to switch weapons) and for browsing the web (forward and back). Well, I ended up replacing it with an Wireless Intellimouse Explorer (2.0). The thumb buttons now suck (too thin, too high, and too stiff), and the scroll wheel is HORRIBLE, it's really practically unusable.

And what exactly do you base this statement on?? Ohh, yeah, the infallible "Slashdotter's assumption" study done last year. Sorry, I don't accept that as evidence. Please try again.

What about when these guys decide they don't want to work anymore? They'll move back into housing projects and start living off welfare again, only this time in YOUR state.
I'm pretty sure it did a good job to protect the creator as well, but why should it be protecting a company named after the creator more than 70 years after the creation took place??
It includes an extra wireless controller (I think it's on top of the one that comes with the system), wireless chargers and batteries, and a year of XBox Live (does that come with the 400$ bundle?), and a Play-and-Charge kit (which just turns a wireless controller into a wired one).
Actually, the name of the song is "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2." And it's not really obscure, it's one of the most often played Pink Floyd songs of recent time, despite not being nearly as good as their really good songs.
I seem to be able to play TONS of PC games online without paying a service charge, PLUS I didn't have to buy the hardware from the same people makin/liscensing the software.
That is BS. They're going to include a network adapter (built into cost of unit), sell you multiplayer games, and then go and charge you to play your own game on top of that....
Slashdot Mirror
The guy who bought it from the lady was the guy who sold it on EBay. They arrested him after the purchaser (from his EBay auction) called up IBM.

In Germany they use QWERTZ. That was rather interesting.

Sure there's a connection. They're both based on the same Goldeneye map. :-P
Hurricanes happen every year in the Gulf, but apparently NO wasn't used to it. ;-)
The support is just arriving, or it has been arriving, it can't be "still just arriving"

Didn't you hear? All generalizations are wrong.

He's not talking about transferring from his phone to his PC's. He's talking about transferring from someone else's phone to his computer.
It doesn't matter if you only have to pair once, if you're only going to be doing one transfer, ever, than that is one time too many.
Yeah, and the dumb SOBs decided to post on a "babelfish.altavista.com" address instead of "jp.creative.com." When will they ever learn??
" Why should he be entitled to keep earning from something he did so long ago?"
Why should he allow you to listen to a song that's so old?

No, "LXIV" means "64"

That's funny. I hear that piece of dialog everytime I hear the song.

ummmm... That would only be a 300% increase.
This is what you said

haven't heard of memory sticks for the xbox?
Tell me, have you seen the front of the console??? The Memory Slots are RIGHT THERE!!

Why do you think MS is going with only 20GB? If it cost the same to include 160GB then they would, they must be getting those for extremely cheap.
Yeah, but what if you want to use it as a cache??
Any real hunter will tell you that you should aim for the chest when hunting deer, not the head.
