i think Nintendo should NOT sue... instead they should buy this company up, and use this console design for the Revolution!:) i think it'd be a big hit

with rumors of different "versions" of the Xbox 360 being released in the future, i'm hoping that they continue to be just different "packages", rather than actually fundamentally different. For example, if someone can only buy the $299 model, they can always buy those add-ons to give them the same functionality of the $399 model later.
my worry is if they release a HD-DVD capable model in the future... will those who bought the early generation xbox 360's be restricted in their game selection, or will there be some type of upgrade path available? or will Microsoft be strict and say that no games can use the HD-DVD functionaly, only movies?
Jesse Sandler said he was one of the people pushing forward, using a folding chair he had brought with him to beat back people who tried to cut in front of him.
"I took my chair here and I threw it over my shoulder and I went, 'Bam,"' the 20-year-old said nonchalantly, his eyes glued to the screen of his new iBook, as he tapped away on the keyboard at a testing station.
"They were getting in front of me and I was there a lot earlier than them, so I thought that it was just," he said.
it's true though! look at how much pent up demand there is for Mac OS X once it is affordable!! (Apple, are you listening??? Let people run OS X on their own hardware!) i'm guessing that a town selling 4 year old dell laptops would not cause quite as much of a ruckus.;-)
to be honest i've never been a fan of the 3d zelda games either... in my book, Zelda64 would not be the greatest game of all time, and it certainly wouldn't be ahead of A Link to the Past... but i mean, obviously a heck of a lot of people disagree with that, so certainly the market demands the games be 3d.
*sigh* oh for the days of beating gannon with a bug net.;-)
why did he get marked troll??? just curious, because i don't understand the choice of mod points. he stated a fact, and what i'm sure is a very common opinion.
also curious, what does this leave for gamecube owners to be excited about this holiday season? gameboy micro (which i think just further confuses the market for parents... not sure why nintendo is going in this direction)?? surely missing out on their blockbuster title during the most important season is going to continue to damage their mindshare. it's unfortunate, but i'm among the growing number of people who see Nintendo as making mistake after mistake after mistake...
let's hope they can find some measure of success despite all these problems.
Hey you, Ferrari - why aren't you selling as many cars as Toyota? Slackers!
oh the beloved car analogy, which still doesn't fit, nor has it ever fit. the standard response: all roads support just about any car. the same is not true for software: not all software supports every computer.
and so, the point of this response is this: apple DOES need to improve it's marketshare if it wishes to move out of its niche market. which i'm certain apple's investors would be happy about.
i think the incessant droning of all of us/.ers about getting Mac OS X on our own hardware is because we agree with you: we see the enthusiasm that Apple puts forth, and we want to be a part of it. We just can't afford the commodity hardware.
the mood of the comments here is obviously on the side of Rockstar, and I tend to agree with some of them, as I do value freedom to choose what games I can play.
however, I believe it would be a nice gesture of goodwill for Rockstar to do something along the lines of the one demand, "Create a fund for victims of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and car-jackings, etc". they could give something beneficial to those affected by such tragedy, instead of simply glorifying the perpetrators through their games.
i thought this whole scenario was basically already played out in Mac OS X... i mean, not exactly with all the details of TFA, but relatively closely. A big company took an open source product, kinda created their own fork, gives a bit back to the community, and the geeks embrace it. many would call it "the world's best operating system" already.
but hey, it'd be nice if Microsoft did it too. I like UNIX;-)
i understand that things like Maya are available for linux, but are there programs out there that are equivalent to say, Final Cut or Adobe Premier... things that an average home movie maker might want?? if Linux is making such big inroads into this area, I'd like to know what apps fill this sector.

a whole heck of a lot of people change the port their BT client uses from 6881 to just about anything else. Quite likely many of these "attacks" are just people who set their BT client to use a port that just so happens to normally be reserved for a different protocol. not necessarily anything malicious.
I know this makes it hard for joe luser to pick a distro to run an enterprise on, but, like any major software purchasing/deployment scenerio, you need to have intelligent people making these decisions.
and it's exactly this elitist attitude that has prevented Linux from already eclipsing Windows on the desktop.
If you want to use Linux, hire someone who has a favorite distro and use that.
are you serious? So in order to use this free, open source OS, your grandmother should have to go hire somebody to make decisions for her, rather than being able to come to the decision on her own based on having only a few, solid choices, rather than dozens of half-hearted attempts?

I'd actually be a little surprised if nintendo allows another generation go by without bringing back Kid Icarus.
all i know is that someone managed to get a front page link on slashdot to a site that has an image of the goatse guy (next to the elephant and the owl in the Cwazymail captcha) AND a link to gnaa.us. well done. :-P

at least he didn't post AC, so the mods will hopefully make him pay his dues in karma

it's not the hardware they're after, it's the OS :)

these guys are developers, probably are fans of slashdot themselves... give them a break for doing an interview.
perhaps... but i certainly wouldn't care, and this would only encourage apple/sun or whoever to come up with a viable, better performing alternative.

How about Bubb Rubb and Lil Sis?

Reporter Mark Jones: "Some neighbors are saying that it's way too loud."
Bubb Rubb: "Das only in the mornin'. You 'posed to be up cookin' breakfast or somethin' by den, so, that's like a alarm clock. Woo wooo!!!"
Li'l Sis: "It's just fo' decoration! That's it and that's all, man; we do it fo' decorations."
