And where are the hit games for PSP? I owned a PSP for months and the only games I liked were NFSU: Rivals, Midnight Club Dub Edition, and Ridge Racer. Not that I'm NOT a racing genre fan either; but where the hell were my PSP games? Let's see, I saw TONS of movies available, but few games, and many outright sucked.
Yeah, for the DS, Nintendo DOES need to get their shit together. But so does Sony. I bought the PSP to play games, not WATCH OLD MOVIES.
I'd agree with you except for the fact that UMD movies are selling amazingly well. No, I don't know why, and yes, they are a rip off, but hey.
I didn't buy a fucking PSP to watch movies on it, and I'm sure there are people out there that agree with me. When it launched, there was a promise that a good range of games would come out, so where the hell are they?
Honestly, it's a great system, but I just couldn't deal with the lack of games. My friend and I traded our PSPs in already because we've grown tired of waiting.:(
When Gmail started to become popular months ago, I couldn't find a place to get an invite and didn't know anyone who would give me one. I somehow ran into Yahoo China, and at the time they were offering 1GB of email space, while Yahoo over here was offering 250 MB.

What's so new about following some damn W3C standards that have been around for some time now? This isn't about Firefox, it's about standards-compliance!
Not exactly true. One perfect example would be the Mega Man series. Since 1987 Mega Man's been shooting up other robots, and since the ESRB put ratings on games, Mega Man's gotten K-A (Kids to Adults, before it became E) and E.
Hell, Mega Man Zero, in which you see the robots spew out blood, oil, or whatever it was, is Rated E. I think that the ESRB guidelines are just plain retarded.
Many US executives and policy makers are quick to dismiss the disparity, noting correctly that South Korea's densely populated areas have made it easier for telecommunications companies to offer extremely fast service to large numbers of people.
I think that the fact that South Korea is smaller in size than the US gives it an advantage of reaching that goal of theirs... On top of that, they might not have a bunch of communications giants (Cox Communications, Charter Communications, AOL-Time Warner, Sprint (DSL), Verizon (DSL) and Aldelphia, to name a few) fighting for customers left and right. When you have a fairly large country in size with a ton of providers offering different types of services at different prices it's harder to achieve a goal like "Broadband for Everyone".
First of all, it seems that most everyone who's posted here thus-far have forgotten that Don Miguel (that russian guy who translated RPG Maker 2000 for us years ago) along with other "distributors" of the English version of RPG Maker 2000 had done what Enterbrain asked them to do; take down the files and put up a form where people can email Enterbrain and tell them what they think about the game, if they would be interested in any new versions, and how much they were willing to pay. (I, for one, said I'd pay as much as $100...)
This form was then emailed to one of their people in the company. What was done since then, I do not know. But I damn well know that many people did in fact fill that form out.
Do a search for Don Miguel's page and you might find that link to the form. If you really want Enterbrain to do something about releasing their awesome RPG Maker games (as in the PC version) over here in the US or anywhere else outside of Japan, tell 'em. They don't read minds, you know.
Agreed. And the fact that people patent certain technologies piss more people off, and yet another format (or formats) will come out. That's the way it was, and that's the way it will always be.
My understanding is that these two new formats support 5.1 surround sound, which is something that our "normal" audio CDs can't handle.
These formats have been out for quite some time now, as I can remember seeing them at a local Best Buy and wondering what could play them. This was about a year ago.
The question is more about when will these become more mainstream (I have yet to see newer albums released on these newer formats)? What about supported players? And most important, what about pricing?
National Geographic chronicled an amazing story of a lightning strike, and rescue, on Grand Teton.
In Spanish, Teton (or Tetona) is slang for tit. Does this mean Nation Geographic covered someone's rescue on a boob? Did a geek pass out after touching one?;)
For those of you who don't like the new Spatial Nautilus (like me) there are a couple of things you could do to go back to the "old" way of browsing files.
You could right-click a file, and select "browse from here" (or something like that, can't remember).

Fscking Nforce craptastic Asus A7N8X-Deluxe piece of shit motherboard.
Last I checked, two of my friends have that same board and have absolutely no trouble getting their Nvidia drivers to work in Linux. What distros? RedHat 9 and Gentoo. Actually, I think one of my other friends was using Debian (unstable version).
Either way, do you think that it could just possibly be an id-10-t error on your behalf?
Tip: Nvidia provides a README file along with the drivers (usually installed to/usr/share/NVIDIA*/). Be sure to read on how to configure X correctly before going on and bitching to the world how ASUS's best 32-bit board for AMD sucks ass, m' kay?
At the job I currently have, we're stuck developing in Visual Basic.Net (ASP.Net pages and the like). My laptop had taken a crap on me and I had to buy a new one, and was forced to get a laptop with Windows when I wanted to go with a Mac.
I wasn't sure if Visual Studio.Net (or something that would let me work with Visual Basic.Net) was available, and I'm not sure where to even begin looking. Since I know some people here use Macs, is there any kind of IDE for developing in Visual Basic.Net?

Yup, and I returned mine months ago. Too little, too late. Would've been nice to have some emulators with games though! Oh well... =(
