Sorry, off-topic, but ever wonder if these people have like a nice chart/spreadsheet where they just find the intersection of two values and it tells them the comparative size?
"Let's see, I figure the area to be about such and such size, and that lines up with two New Jerseys, or one blah blah blah..."
Well, in the Gamasutra article, Nintendo says they know this new GBA isn't the successor to anything, just another casing.
As far as the buying of these new handhelds, I know a certain small boy who has a GBA, SP, and will probably end up getting a DS, too. Or whatever. The point is that these aren't just for adults...in fact, when were video games meant for adults?
Adults know when something is a rip-off rehash whatever, but kids will still want them for Christmas....
that Mr. Spitzer got some spyware on his computer, went down to the ol' computer repair shop, and suddenly found out about this spyware thing?
Or something along those lines. I don't know how many times at work I say, "Yes, you have some spy/ad ware on your computer" and I get a blank look and a "What is that?"
This is one of those things that just needs to be recognized by the right person. Luckily, these finally ticked off someone who can do something about it.
More likely it wasn't serious enough to warrant the time to fix it.
I agree. Either they didn't know it was there, or they didn't think it was important enough to fix right away.
But that's different from them not knowing how to fix something, which I'm sure they do.
Most of the time my processors sit there doing nothing...that's why it's important for me to measure their performance in Bogomips... I need to know how soon their going to be done doing nothing for me...
So many people come in to the helpdesk where I work bringing their Microsoft Office XP cd when they should have brought their Microsoft Windows XP cd.
Besides the confusion from the similar names, they have no idea that their is a difference between Windows and Office. I have had people argue with me on this point.
"Aren't they the same? What's the difference?"
Also, don't forget, if everyone knew what we know about computers, we wouldn't be special anymore...:(

Who doesn't have an induced smile on my face...
If Google gets sued (by China??) then who gets the 7 years in prison??
Because that means 10 more people (you probably already have one, right?) to buy songs from them!
Amazing
AND you are not surfing with administrative priveledges.
Yeah...but who does that??
Certainly not home users, who are the ones that are having the most problems with (spy|ad|mal)ware.
...pants explosion?
Gah, I can't believe I just posted that
Warez (pronounced "wares")
I'm sure glad they cleared that one up!
Anyone actually view this yet? I don't see any comments about it and it won't play under Xine, MPlayer, Kaffeine...at least, not for me...
something being legal doesn't make it right, either...
"They are making a case out of computer enthusiasts? Whoa! Hardcore!"
slightly less than three times the size of Texas

Oh, wait, I think I found it.
Yet another reason why /. is becoming irrelevant and little more than a way to waste time at work.
....yes?

Don't you know Googlezon made them obsolete?
Oh, wait. Not yet.

but at least now I can sleep at night! Mysteries of the universe revealed!
Apparently, if you want to be a successful company, you need to start with two people in a garage...
That's the intel we got from Intel...

How they got Slashdot comments before they even wrote the article?
That's amazing.
I mean, wasn't it in the 1800's when this was first attempted?
Couldn't this shake their credibility, though, if someone does succeed? Seems like a bit of a gamble to me. But it would be cool if no one succeeded.
How can the first post be redundant? Isn't that pretty much impossible?
I don't believe you.
