Do a Usenet search on the phrase. Though usually dated 1981 or thereabouts, the first time it appears on the record is August 1992 (in a Mac newsgroup). Never has anyone cited the circumstances, the place and exact date, he's suposed to have said this.

Quite so. The actual remark was made by Steve Jobs to Steve Wozniak regarding building a card to expand the Apple II's memory from the max possible on the motherboard of 48K to a full 64K (the "language card"). Jobs' statement "Who would ever want more than 48K?" has been misattributed and misquoted for years, as have many statements made by some that sound so much better coming from someone else. The answer was, almost everybody. When the IIe came out it had 64K on the board and could accept a second 64K card. The IIc came with two full 64K banks installed.
Jobs was frequently at odds with Wozniak over technical issues. Jobs wanted no more than 2 slots in the Apple II. Woz wanted 8 and put them in. Jobs argued against color. Woz put it in, first in blocky lo-res, then in an awesome hack that resulted in 16 color (including two blacks and two whites) hi-res. Other examples exist, but these two illustrate Jobs' penchant for one-upsmanship: When he built the first Mac, it had no color and no slots.
Jobs' quote was in many MOTD files during the late 70's and early 80's, until the misattributed Gates quote started replacing it.

Heck, I wish the whole darn desk was a mousepad really.
You mean like one of these? I use one, and it's great. It doesn't wuite take up the whole desk, but a keyboard (Model M non-space saver) and mouse fit on there with plenty of room.
I'm the only one that uses my Steam account, so I didn't think of that. I read the press release as users can login from multiple computers at once but only run one instance of each game. I hope that's what they mean by "customer friendly" since I've heard people complaining about your problem for quite some time.
Because the jump from 500gb to bigger sizes is ridiculous. And it's better to have more hard drives you have the space for rather than have everything on one gigantic hard drive.
Looking at Newegg's internal 3.5-inch SATA hard drives:
$55-100 for 500gb
$95-220 for 1tb
That's because it's "Games for Windows" (TM) AKA "Crappy Console Ports for Windows that don't support anything other than an X360 controller or a mouse/keyboard which they probably screwed up the mouse controls on" (TM)
Get her an R4 (can be found for around $15) and load it up with stuff from Project Gutenberg. The R4 kernel comes with moonshell preinstalled (it's a media player type thing) which includes a text viewer. Plus, you can get a bunch of great homebrew games and such (like Nethack!).
Have you seen BenHeck's new controllers?
Even though there's five modules, you probably would only have to use four at once (at most) since the d-pad isn't used at the same time as the analog sticks in nearly every game.

Think about how easy it would be to misinterpret it if you wanted to. "...640k felt like something that would last a great deal of time."

Deja vu...
AFAIK, phones only use CAT3.

You can only play, say, Left 4 Dead with your three friends if they each have a copy of the game (unless you are a cheapskate thief).
Because they suck. Get the latest build here.

It's not that ridiculous.
I thought the one by 'Web design em Portugal' was slightly better.
Anarchy Online has ads in the free version.

Can you pirate a sense of humor next time?
I think that's the point. Read the alt text.

The GTA series doesn't use serial numbers.
I can't find any dimensions either. Each one of the modules looks 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter, but it's kind of hard to tell. Here's some pictures of it semi-disassembled.
Try their homepage here: http://www.edimensional.com It should be the first thing listed under 'game controllers'.

I think the complaint is more toward the 10 or 15 minute install for each chapter or whatever it's called in MGS4.
You can replace the drive with any SATA drive, as long as you don't mind having it outside of your PS3.
You must be new here.
Do you consider 219 MB portable?
Instead of Flight Simulator, have you tried X-plane?
What's with all the offtopic mods lately?
