Movies are hardly an important product (well important is a subjective term, but I think most people will admit it isn't going to kill you not watching it). Movies are a form of entertainment, don't like the price, look for alternative entertainment. I haven't gone to the cinema in quite some time and I am certainly not sorry. I am certainly not missing out on "a fundamental activity." If you require to go see a movie to fit or be an outcast from your friends, perhaps you should re-evaluate your friends.
There are jokes among geek circles that revolve around format c:\ and rm -f. Either is interchangable in the joke, it really doesn't matter which one is used.
So this person took the commands to see if the hype jokes create is all that it's lived up to be. He didn't want to do it technically right, he wanted to test the jokes. Joke. That -is- a known concept around here isn't it?
Just some simple crash-recovery controls and a way to speed it up would be a big improvement. I went to move over to it from Microsoft Word and was severly dissapointed by how damn slow it was and the fact that when I went to save it crashed and then didn't have any way for me to recover my lost data.
Perhaps it's better on non-Windows, but at the moment Word (unfortunately) shits all over OOo.
I've found mos of my own Javascripts tend to only work after I say they're trusted. If this is but a glimpse of what Palladin has install for us I think I'll be learning how to run Linux VERY quickly.
I'd like a computer where I don't have to install software, I don't have to download patches I can just put in a disc and start it up. Oh yeah, I do have one of those, it's called a console. For me this is a big advantage of consoles over computers.
I agree, except for the fact that some games are just made to be used with a mouse and keyboard. I'd hate to play Myst, Might and Magic or Civilization II on a console. Thankfully with keyboards and mouses coming becoming more common then before for consoles, this may no longer be an issue.
You wouldn't switch to play games on a Mac, you'd switch because a Mac is superior. A lot of people don't switch because they like to play games on their PCs. If this excuse was taken away, it's possible they'd move over to Mac.
Wow I'd hate to have you as a friend/someone I pay/get to fix my computer. I'd hate to have someone install programs on my computer without letting me know why they're doing so and asking if it's okay. Nevermind they can just uninstall, and nevermind I'm likely to say "sure, go ahead if it's as good as you say."
I seem to hear a lot of people say "but I'm only one person, I can't do jack shit." If only all those people didn't believe that.
It really depends on priorities. What's more important, contributing to the RIAA's funds and buying music, contributing to the RIAA's propaganda and illegally downloading music or finding alternative music and not helping the RIAA?
Let's face it. Everyone knows the RIAA is telling the truth about these people they're sueing. Everyone knows P2P is mostly for illegal uses. Firefox started out with only 10 person using it, and now it's got a small percentage and it's growing. Imagine if those 10 people had said "no-one else is using it."
Since when does the RIAA care about fair? This isn't about morals, this is about business. And this fear mongering has been sold to the RIAA as a profitable business plan. They don't give a shit about anyone's rights or fair. Not yours and not the artists.
That's completely irrelevant to what I said though. I was having a go at the person assuming Khasim must live where terrorists are from. Which depending on your definition of a terrorist could include all Americans.
It's quite possible he's from Oregon. But this is post-9/11. It doesn't matter where you live now, if you're not white, black or asian you MUST know terrorists.

Let's look at his options: 1> Be free in Saudia Arabia 2> Be locked up indefinitely under who-knows-what conditions.
Yeah, I'd find it difficult to have much love for the country doing this to me, even if I was a citizen.

Wow, the British Royal Navy is a country all to itself. I suppose it has treaties with Brittain?;)
Say your Uncle Sal, whom you haven't spoken with in 10 years because he lives on the other side of the country, happens across your email, say on a University board or something. Is his email Spam?
I have most of my rellies on my SPAM list because yes, their e-mail is unsolicitated and spam:) (I'm not saying unsolicitated e-mail is automatically spam, I just said they're both things and I'm not commenting on the relationship of the two things).
Actually he said the correct year, there was just a small typo, so since then he's been adding in clues to get people to discover the real year. He figured he might as well not bother telling someone again, after all he tried that the first time.
This is NOT an RPG, it is an [url=http://www.gamespot.com/psp/rpg/crisiscorefin alfantasyvii/news_6111574.html]action RPG[/url].
The difference between this is the difference between Zelda and Final Fantasy. Not necessarily a bad thing, but some people (e.g. me) prefer RPGs because we're no good at action games.
If Square-Enix is smart and Crisis Core sells, they'll either release Before Crisis in America on a mobile phone or a portable device. I have read the limiting factor on bringing out Before Crisis (besides the fact it may not sell) are our mobile phones. So once they are updated to current Japenese standards, it will be one more reason to be able to have it in America.
As I refuse to buy a mobile phone for a game, I'll never be able to enjoy it. But that's a choice I made:)
Oh sure, being creative is one thing. I love drawing, always have. But buying someone a pencil OVER a GBA. Well there's really no comparison. If you can only buy one, I can gurantee which one I would want.

I've been waiting for someone/something that can recognise my handwriting. I know I gave up years ago.

most people outside of America don't like spam (of either variety). I want babette before I want the tinned spam.

Lucky for you then that you can use a keyboard and mouse on your PS2.

However 2 wongs don't make a white though. That was a political campaign in Australia back in the day *shudder*

Then don't buy it for that kid. Give him etch-a-sketch instead.
No offence, but I hope you never have kids. Just from someone who never understood what was so great about the bloody things.
Actually it's Pohm as it stands for "Property of His/Her Majesty"
