I find internet guides much more useful because they include exploits and strategies found after the game was released and will update to include changes that may have happened in later versions (patches, re-releases, etc). I've encountered enough strategy guides that delivered information that was simply incorrect (e.g. the Diablo 2 guide claiming all set bonuses are random).
While an official guide has nice pictures and all an average internet guide will include information that is much more likely to be correct simply because it's based on what was actually shipped instead of some prerelease version that was given to the guide authors.
That's because the point of Zelda is to ignore the clicheed story and enjoy the gameplay while the point of Final Fantasy is to ignore the clicheed gameplay and enjoy the (equally clicheed) story.
It's a game. You play it because it's fun, not because it must be done. If you'd rather pay money than play the game something is seriously wrong and I'd recommend getting a better game for those 60$ instead.
Megadrive was the original name, Genesis is the US localization. And I think the last time I saw numbers the MD beat the SNES in the US while losing big time in Europe and Japan. The MD didn't appear very dominant where I lived.
Order lots of stuff with it, at the XC launch retailers allocated units to preorders based on how much additional stuff was ordered with the console, not when the order was placed.
I don't know about you but I'd consider a game console infinitely more useful than a disc drive. Noone* will plunk down 500$ on a drive whereas 400$ for a game system is a lot more reasonable. Mostly because a game system will be useful the moment it's available as opposed to having to wait for special media to come out and needing a special kind of TV in order to even take advantage of the new format.
They delivered (pun not intended) a pretty bad performance for a console launch. Sure, a nearly-simultaneous worldwide launch sounds nice on paper but they should have rethought that strategy when it became clear that there will be production issues that will prevent them from sending sufficient numbers to any market. Apparently some people still can't get the console even though they are willing to buy it. The backwards compatibility is sub-par (I don't think such a half-baked backwards compatibility has been found in any previous console), especially since Sony and Nintendo are promising almost total compatibility with two and four system respectively.
Additionally one could call a launch without any killer apps a fumble since a killer app is probably the most effective way of launching a system.
The problem is that it's not really nations competing with each other but corporations competing with each other. A corporation has no reason to employ people in the country it's from and if producing in China is so much better than producing in some western country that means all companies that don't transfer all possible jobs to China will have a big disadvantage. Low skilled (i.e. no University degree) workers can be had anywhere and the only real difference are the wage (generally, the poorer the country the lower they're willing to go) and the country's laws (some activities might be illegal in some countries). Low skill workers are seen as expendable (see industrial times for a nasty example) so not working them until exhaustion and throwing them away when their abilies decline from exhaustion is inefficient.
Labour is a buyer's market these days and those who have little to offer (low skilled workers again) can't demand much because if they do they're just thrown aside and replaced with another one out of thousands of willing subjects. Only unions and the law can give those workers some chance of bettering because otherwise there are always enough that would accept the worst conditions.
It's different with high skill workers, those aren't replaceable as easily because their skills vary greatly and those with skills usually know what they're worth. Most people who post on Slashdot are probably high skill workers or on their way to becoming one. These jobs aren't threatened much by international competition.
But for jobs anybody could do only very few gain any advantage from being located in high-wage countries and those are usually services (because services can't be exported). Of course many of these jobs are being completely replaced with machinery and instead of hiring a bunch of people to assemble your VCRs you hire a few technicians to maintain the automated production line. But what can we do with those low skill workers? They have to go somewhere. They're the majority of the population. Noone wants them but someone has to take them. Otherwise they just draw money from social programs and increase the burden on the government's budgets or roam the streets as beggars or criminals (a person will search for other ways of getting money if a job is not an option).
The real problem is overpopulation and we can't have the corporations withdraw even more jobs from our territories. Since people don't want communism we have to find a way to make capitalism care for those people. Free trade isn't going to care for them.
If we could turn those low skill workers into high skill workers the problem would be reduced but that requires making high education affordable* (especially since many low skill workers have social programs as their only income right now) and in some cases is simply fruitless because not everyone is smart enough to become a high skill worker.
*= Here in Germany the gov just scored an owngoal by simultaneously complaining about too few high skill workers and raising prices for higher education.
If there is life on Mars it will not be the kind that infects multicelled organisms. Most importantly because there's a lack of (large) multicelled organisms on Mars. That life couldn't infect anything even if it could survive being brought into the conditions present on Earth.
The SYN flood happens because the server has to keep track of the connection until it times out and there's a limit to the number of connections the server can keep track of, with the cookie method the server gets an INIT, sends out the cookie and forgets about the connection. Only when that is returned the server opens a connection. Sure, you could go through the proper protocol for starting the connection but that forces you to tell the server the real IP of your DoSing client instead of putting a number of fake IPs in there. The server could just start ignoring your client for a while and your DoS has failed.
These days the church has refrained from telling people they will go to hell just as fortune tellers stopped telling people "you will have a horrible disease and your best friend will die" even when that's what their method of choice would predict. They're sellouts.
If you're a non-believer, like I am, all of this is moot--the whole thing is either about the world John lived in, or he got dosed with some grain ergot while in prison.
I thought the guy was infamous for his appreciation of mushrooms? I'm surprised the Revelation doesn't involve jumping on turtles and hitting qustionmark blocks with your head (I'm sure the Revolution does, however).
If a website asks for any data not required for what you want to do (e.g. asking for your email when you just want to download a file) you can be 100% sure that they will use that data to profit, i.e. spam you or sell the address to spammers. There is no other reason for asking for that data.
but on Windows if you can install an app. you can hose the system
If you can install an app under Linux you are most likely root and just as capable of hosing the system. The few programs that can be installed and run without invoking root/admin privileges can't hose either system (except if they use unpatched exploits, those can hose both).

The system that it would probably fit this game like a glove?
I love it, it's so bad!

Can you point out the section that grants them this right?

16.7% seems quite high for a "failure" to me.
What, they charge you for ingoing calls? What kind of ass-backwards market do you live in and why are people accepting being double-billed like that?
Maybe it was an implicit Soviet Russia joke?

IE5 already could be set to "ask user" (or "do not execute") for ActiveX under security settings. Not sure but I think even 4 was capable of that.
