Bah, give me the original EV any day, don't get me wrong, nova's pretty but I just don't get the same sense of accomplishment I got in the original game. Hell I keep around an old powermac around just to keep playing it.
Posting something on your god-forsaken myspace page? Who cares?
Kids care. For some of them that myspace page may be one of the few things places they can say, this is mine, this is a part of me. What happens when someone takes a swipe into their sanctuary? They feel violated and rightly so. You can argue as long as you want about it having no bearing in the "real" world. Kids don't live in the "real" world. They live in a mostly closed-off static society which mostly consists of their school and extra-curriculars. You can't just go somewhere else as a kid.
My dad was a principal until he retired several years ago but is still involved in education and have spent most of my life seeing the "other side" of schools. I don't get this whole the teachers are trying to silence the children angle. I'd be lying if I said all of them but there's still a good majority of teachers who have their students interests at heart in their decisions. Can they be misguided from time to time. Anyone can. Do I think they are in this case? No.
As kids we live on an island. If someone wants to make your life miserable on that island you don't have much choice in the matter. Sometimes as a teacher the only course you have is to boot someone from the island.
I've written my MP about copyright at least 3 times last year, and didn't get one response. The Conservative MP for Yorkton-Melville obviously doesn't care about Canadian artists or stopping DRM.
Amen to that, you'd think a man that's so opposed to the goverment taking away gun rights from hunters, would give a little bit of a damn in regards to corporations treating citizens like common criminals, but I guess I'm wrong.
I'm a big fan of the genre - Feist, Salvatore, Jordan, Weis/Hickman, Goodkind, Brooks are among my favorites. ack....exactly which genre is that? cheesy mass market schlock?
Try reading some real fantasy.
I make no claim to be an expert on the fantasy genre or to have even read material from all of the authors mentioned, but I'll be damned if Robert Jordan doesn't write some impressive fantasy.
You would think they'd make the console cheaper in areas where there is likely to be fiecer competition such as North America or Europe (Especially as a way to make up for the delayed launch) rather than in Japan where the console is going to be bought for the fact it's Japanese alone. But then again, who am I to question the infallilable logic of Mr. Kutaragi?

They're really pushing that June release date aren't they?

These features have been around since Tetris worlds was released for the previous gen consoles.

Clearly the solution to to this rat problem is more Liberty Bell.
And there's still no FPS that beats Marathon, except you PC users can enjoy it now.
Must be your video card.
Offtopic, but isn't your User 956 a little inaccurate.
The link for the exchange has already been /.ed, anyone got a mirror?
Yeah, but I'm not promising you're gonna like what you see.
I sure hope there wasn't any e-mail on it.
Is there a token ring network that isn't?

>As an atheist I wouldn't say anything. Its only the religious nuts who have a problem with sperm donors and/or same-sex parents.
Trust Richard Dawkins to post as an Anonymous Coward.
Actually, it was a Keynote presentation I believe.
Not that anyone's keeping track or anything.
Ah, CanWest global, Canada's NewsCorp. Sorry, but I have trouble believing anything published by any element of CanWest.
It was "viewtiful" while it lasted.
Thank you, I'm here all week.
I was really confused as to why they would want the bottom of my shoe.
Hey, if Apple and Nike want it, why can't Microsoft?

This interview is completely false!
It is a scientifcally know fact that anyone from Japan is completely incapable of pronouncing the letter "L"
Fruck you parent, Fruck you!
So would it have been somehow less disgraceful if someone erased a sacred religous text to scribble down an arithmetic problem?
/. really needs a "WTF?" label for mods.
Wasn't the fact that people borrowed money to invest in the stock market a contributing factor to the stock market crash of 1929?
...or the incredibly weak state of the Saskatchewan housing market.
