You can still play multiplayer in Halo 2 on your Xbox over a local network, same as how you have to play Doom II or Quake 1. You just can't browse for & play online games, same as will happen when they yank the Quake III master server.
Because it's far better to leave in some probably-unused sounds/models/textures than to actually remove them only to have the game plotz when you find out that, hey, they were being used for something somewhere.
It's only "legitimate" if you accept that their tax on interstate commerce is also legitimate. Those taxes are the very kind of thing the interstate commerce clause was meant to prevent.
Not paying an unconstitutional tax on interstate commerce—the regulation of which is expressly limited to Congress—isn't "skirting the law", it's "doing your duty as a citizen of the country".
About the only way I can see someone thinking Mass Effect 2 is better than the original is if they didn't like the original and instead wanted another third-person cover-based shooter like Gears of War.:-P
Yes, that's a great solution: let's combat identity theft by exposing more personal information! </sarcasm>
(Yes, I have a problem with showing an ID, both on its own "merits", and that an ID isn't required to get a card and thus shouldn't be required to use it.)
I liked the Mako controls on the 360. But they did change them for the PC—unfortunately, for the worse. (The 360 version would, if the camera was angled too far to one side or another, start turning the vehicle. The PC dropped that, so you could have the camera up to 180 degrees from where the vehicle was going. Very disorienting, at least for me.)
The fix for that is selling 10GiB hard drives instead of 10GB ones, not changing the OS to report GB instead of GiB.
It was a bad idea when OS X 10.6 did it, and it's a bad idea for Ubuntu now. Hopefully they at least give an option to display the actual space used/remaining, unlike Apple.
In the case of the 486, it was. Or at least initially. Once yields are up, they can either disable perfectly good chips and sell them for cheaper than what they're capable of, or design a new chip without the part. It seems like Intel and AMD generally go for the former.

Or you could just use Safari for Windows. :)
"Halo2 on the 360" is just Halo 2 for the original Xbox, running in emulation mode; it's still affected.
Not affected is Halo 2 for PC, which is running the "modern" Live used by 360 games.

(Yes, you can manually connect to servers over the Internet by IP once that happens, but you can do that with your Xbox too.)
Internet Explorer 7 has been superseded by Internet Explorer 8 on all available platforms for over a year now. Yes, it's obsolete.
Except the Gizmodo author wasn't the finder of the phone.
They're getting what will be a fourth (I hope), Futurama, in June.

Probably because Sierra and LucasArts are still exploiting their back catalog via rereleases on Steam and elsewhere.
I can't speak for North Carolina, but that's not how Michigan words it on their tax forms...

I was thinking more that the ISP would block Google at the router.
Most ISP customers would probably blame YouTube and get on with their lives, and not realize that their ISP is censoring them.

Easier said than done for me! ;P

Where? I sure as hell haven't been able to find how to revert it to GiB
Actually, Ubuntu 10.10 is requiring "10 GB" and disallowing "9.3 GiB" for disk space. It may be more correct, but I'd argue that it's more misleading.

What went wrong? People leapt at the offer of free/cheap phones without realizing the leverage that 2-year contract was signing away.
If I want to put my penis into something, it's my right.
Depends on what you want to put it into—if it's another living being who doesn't/can't consent, that's not your right.
It gives them power to do the Enumeration. It's not a catch-all to include non-Enumeration-related questions.
I dunno. Even the Brits think we'll make first contact, if Doctor Who is any indication. XD
