Get a Video instead. My old 5gig died recently, and that gave me the excuse to upgrade. I fucking LOVE this thing. I want it inside me. I'm busy getting all my brother in law's Futurama and Family Guy DVD's ripped to it, and I'll have plenty of room to spare. The battery lasted over 21 hours when I plugged the headphones in and left it shuffling all day. Impressive.
Hopefully this one has some decent network code instead of the abysmal shit that was in Halo for PC. Pity, too, because it was really fun if you could ignore the incessant lag on a 100Mbps LAN.
And if they port it to Windows only, then that's the last sign that they've really, truly sold out. They started out making games for Mac, then went to Mac/PC, then got bought up by MS and started doing XBox only. If they don't put a Mac version out with the PC version, then they can really go fuck themselves bloody with a steel mace.
Surely ye jest. Monster tastes like melted ass. It works if you need a shot in the arm to keep you awake, but I would never drink that shit unless I really needed it. I prefer Amp, the concentrated Mountain Dew sludge, but Monster is more readily available. Sad.
A friend of mine took one of those really old 5.25" hard drives apart. The magnets were huge and amazingly powerful. He lost them when he held them about a foot apart in each hand, dropped them both, and they slammed together so hard that they shattered. True story.
Wow, and that hate-filled post wasn't an example of left-wing trolling, oh no. If you want to point out flaws in other posts, I think you can do it without coming off as a mindless, vitriol-spewing drone yourself.
...but Myth 3 was godawful. Marathon 1 and 2 were good, but I didn't much care for 3. Played through all of those several times, mostly because they're good, immersive games with a great storyline.
Ugh, the usual bullshit again. Allow me to elaborate:
1. Yep, we do. It comes from being the first to have them and the arms race between the USSR. We don't have as many as we used to, though. The number is dropping.
2 & 3. Try to find anyone that's proud of it. However, in the big picture, the bombs, horrid as they were, stopped the war short of an outright invasion that would have resulted in far, far greater casualties on both sides. Japan was going kamikaze left and right and almost didn't surrender after Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
4. Yep, they were talking about it, and that's as far as it went. Modern technology and materials means "safer" mini-nukes, but they never materialized, which is probably a good thing. A lot of stuff gets discussed and dropped when it comes to military weaponry.
You know what the most telling thing is? After WW2 ended, we were the only ones with nukes. We could have held the whole damn world hostage if we'd wanted to. We could have run right into Russia and nuked Moscow, and they wouldn't be able to do a damn thing about it. But we didn't, and we have never used a nuke since. I think that gives the US a little credit, don't you?
And the US isn't a fundie Islamic state (no crap about Bush, he's a twit, but he's nowhere near as bad as Iran) hellbent on wiping another country off the map. The US has checks and balances to prevent the use of a nuke. Iran could lob one and tell the people that it was the will of Allah. Should Kim Jong Il have nukes as well? You can't measure all countries by the same standard. We have multiple elected branches in the States to balance each other out. Iran and Korea are dictatorships with maniacs at the helm.
Sheesh, the Itanic wasn't exactly a success story. How does it fit into their new roadmap with cooler chips that eat less power? That processor was a goddamn space heater.
Oh, it does, but it's crap. It'll play.wmv files that VLC and MPlayer wont, but there's no optimization whatsoever and it has a lot of pain in the ass quirks.
Is that Powerlogix came out as the first to announce that they have everything in place for 7448 based CPU upgrades (the latest revision of the G4) and will start selling them once Motorola gets their head out of their ass and starts putting them out in volume. Funny, that was supposed to happen in October. Moto hit the usual goddamn production issues. I guess spinning off into Freescale did nothing for their chip production. Anyway, I'm drooling over the prospect of a 2+ghz dual G4 upgrade...
Oh, I've got one even better than that. I work at Central Washington University, and someone insisted that all the Macs have Netscape installed. Netscape fucking SUCKS, but the students who don't know better use it because it's a familiar icon in the dock. The damn browser doesn't even display the school's own pages properly (and wont even let students into some of their account pages), but some dumbshit in the administration wanted Netscape on there. It hangs a lot, too, and I have to force quit for students, it doesn't like printing, and it's kludgy. IE, even though it hasn't been updated in years, is still better than that shit.
No, more the opposite of peace on earth. We're going to see people eviscerating each other to get the last Tickle-Me XBox 360 off the shelf in time for Christmas. I'm staying away from places that have them to avoid the inevitable carnage.
Looks interesting, but I'm still waiting for The Filthy Critic's book to come out. Once you get past the foul language, shit references, allusions to Candy Bottoms porno flicks, and potshots at "Hollywood grassfuckers", he's actually a very sound critic.
Yeah, I think viewers will start laughing when Jack Thompson shows up in soft focus with a sort of glow and informs the CSI group that violent video games make kids into violent killers. Then he dons his armor and runs out to find the kids and take them down himself. The show ends with Thompson embarking on a quest to take down the video game industry by himself. The show will be banned due to uncontrollable laughter of Monty Python's deadly joke proportions.

They're not really being honest. They failed to mention that there are 33.999645893 problems with the Core Duo, not 34!
Well, it goes without saying that you need a fat pipe to succeed in the porn industry.
Sheesh, the Itanic wasn't exactly a success story. How does it fit into their new roadmap with cooler chips that eat less power? That processor was a goddamn space heater.
I know that. Hard drives have surprising powerful magnets in them. It's called an exaggeration for the sake of humor.
7. Wipes the drive on your iPod/laptop/thumbdrive whenever you move up a floor.
BRAAAAIIIIINNNSSS!!!

Oh come on, this would be great for playing GTA...with or without the gaming system. The bodies bouncing over the windshield look so realistic!

I'm an "Apple Fan", and I'm telling you to go eat cornshit.
tcpdump, pr0n.log...sounds like the place you'd put all the scheisse videos.

And have they even thought of the cost of Windex over the next few years alone?
Sheesh, it seems that nobody in this whole article has made a reference to Microsoft yet. What the hell, Slashdot? Don't let me lose faith in you!

Nah, to make it ad supported, all they'd need to do is take small kickbacks from those guys.
