When I read "nature programmes," the first thing I thought of was Coupling, Season 2, Episode 2, where he's talking about the BBC trying to embarass him with nudity.:)
Damn you! I had just gotten over the loss of the DreamCast... I really need to mod one out sometime.
Anyway, I'm not so sure that they'd double up like that. Seems particularly cost inefficient. And most normal X-Box users just play the games, and don't to all sorts of "special features," like adding music, or "uber-hacking," like changing HDs, on it, so they'll buy what ever MS shoves down their throats.
Hey kids! Choose your Monopoly joke from the following options:
A. They should have played with the shoe. I never lose when I play with the shoe!
B. How many time were they told, you only get one hotel! I don't care if it is Park Place!
C. Hey! I see you! Stop trying to pretend you're on "Just Visiting!"
Russian subtitles was an example. I realize they do not take up much space. But there's all sorts of other stuff you can remove, including commentary, special features, etc.
Oh, and removing that junk is optional, anyway. The application compresses DVDs into half the space anyway. The whole point is to fit a double-layer production disk onto a single layer consumer disk.
Odds are you could use DVD Shrink to cut that size in half, or more, since you could removed the Russian subtitles and other stuff you probably don't need...:)
I'm sure Microsoft wouldn't be pleased with the arrangement, either. There's a chance they could be distracted from your illegality, though. Perhaps if there was a coordinated DoS attack on both their s... oh. Yeah.
My roommate and I did a bunch of crap with really old Macs we got from a Middle School we di dTech Support for. We were going to cluster them together to work SETI units.:)
Now, I wonder how interactive these VR sessions are. Could the burn patients injure themselves by getting too into it? How "real" are these memories for the PTS patients? Will they fell like observers, or participants?
Exactly. I can't count the times the demo totally failed to do what it was supposed to on my box. Of course, this did mean that I didn't buy the game, so I suppose it was a bad pure marketing move. But in a more general sense, demoing definitely sends a good message to the gaming public. Though many demos have kept me away from games, there are very few games I've bought without playing the demo.
There's some good from consolidation, but these days it mostly seems like only bad is coming from it. Every type of company is being merged, or assimilated, and I think it's stifling comeitition and innovations. I mean, look at AOL. Not exactly a stellar comapny at their best moments, but AIM has defined a generation. Now people have to hack the crap out of their products (DeadAIM et al, the worms) for them to make any major changes.
And now the same crap is happening to our beloved bastion of video games, and it's starting to piss me off. Good luck Origin.

So it will be P2P, but do you think they should use some sort of BitTorrent-esque protocol to make the process even easier?

MS: Make my time? Okay, "time.microsoft.com." If you think it's a time server, Ha Ha Ha Ha ...

::Microsoft transforms into tentacle monster:: Officer: Wait, where did that little girl come from. What the ... Nooooooo!
He got the certificate when he paid $300 for the early Walkman.
That, or out of a ceral box.
But Mooooooom! I wanna staff of mana regen nooooooow!!
The redesigns aren't very impressive, but you've got to love this picture, though. :)
The article it's in is mediocre, but that's a gem.
There's already a Playstation Portable. Homemade.
He also makes all sorts of other portables. Check it out.

If I had to guess, I'd say it could be disabled, just like the Internet Connection Firewall that comes with XP.
I wonder if there will be a seperate site for the updates (like Office) or if they'll start integrating them into Windows Update?
I guess that counts as "non-PC." :)

TICalc.org has several articles on things like that. My favorites are Overclocking and Battery Expander.
Just thought I'd add another line.
"Fly bar is to the limit, Who's that? It's to the limit ..."
I will have a Flybar or I will die trying.
And once I have one I will probably die using it.
I'm glad they're so confident. I, for one, find the thought terrifying. :)
Too bad they already made the (17 versions of) the movie about this. It's a nice story.

No, but should you ( forbid) need help, then you're SOL.

And so, incidentally, is anyone who happens to be visiting, and doesn't realize you abstain from phoneslines.
I can't believe they wouldn't use QNX, with their impressive (although rarely recognized) track record.
... never did try it out.
Somewhere I've got that home client they let you download
