I would love to see a modern version of X-Wing or Tie Fighter.
In SW Battlefront II there is an option to have a space battle, much along the lines of Tie Fighter/X-Wing. In my opinion they should have stuck new graphics on the old Tie Fighter engine. It would have made for much better gameplay & flying feel. The new one (Battlefront II) has too many 'features' like auto-adjusting during flying that just take away from the realism and flying ability.
I wouldn't be to sure about that. From my personal experience the Apple community is getting a lot more folks fed up with crapware. These people have bought an Apple because they are fed up- not because they are more experienced Apple users. Granted, they still might be a small percentage, but they are still users that will type in a password when prompted.
This would seem to be the normal game process, wouldn't it? Release version 2 for another $50- but then you would have to support two different server types (Galaxies & Galaxies II). From the consumer standpoint I don't want to spend another $50, but if I can play 1 or 2 (if I liked the first one better, etc.) that would be beneficial. From the company standpoint if a game is released and updated, then there doesn't have to be a seperate server setup for each game.
Personally I like playing Delta Force: Black Hawk Down, but every now and then I just want to run around with a SAW in the original Delta Force.
After what I've seen in Ubuntu, the only reason I still have windows is for gaming. Out of the box it has everything that I would need. Next time grandma needs a rebuild(due to adware/spyware), I'll set her up with Kubuntu and the Redmond theme. Ubuntu has made Linux easy to use for the windows-only crowd, and I hope they keep running with it.
People are happy, until they find out that there's a 100-song limit. My girlfriend begged me to buy her one until I told her she could only put 100 songs on there, and it wouldn't just update from a larger list on iTunes. I can see how the phone would have limits (512mb card), but why have an artificial limit? That's just stupid.
Why should I pay to RENT something as easily copied as content?
If only these guys would realize that people want to own something and to watch/hear it whenever they choose!
Why is TiVo so popular? Because I can watch TV whenever I want.
Why are iPods so popular? Because I can listen to music whenever I want.
If we just wanted to rent music and movies all the time, there would be no need for TiVo or iPods.
On a serious note, how do those guys take themselves seriously standing under the "Genius Bar"? I'd hardly call being a mac tech (more like a CSR) a genius.
1. Make file sharing software
2. Get sued by *AA
3....
4. Profit!?!

I've used mirc & sysreset (mirc with some customizing) and they both allowed DCC resume. Personally I've found that even in queue downloads faster than p2p. Most p2p I've seen have had crappy speeds, but I can get one good, fast connection speed from an irc bot.
Or for the price of 2 songs you could buy a USB cable to connect to your phone and put songs on there manually. But for a wireless service, a bittorrent port would be nice as long as you've got an unlimited data plan.
He doesn't want to be paid twice- he wants to be paid by companies. He's saying that all these companies that are offering 'free' internet aren't going to get their own connection from him for free. We pay him as customers of DSL, but if another option was 'free' internet via google, we'd switch. Well, google is going to have to pay anyway- so he'll get the money one way or another
For the time being, maintain the status quo of having ICANN responsible for the assignment of IPv4 addresses.
Agreed- nothing more to add.
Remember, the Internet is an agreement among nations.
Wait, what? The internet is NOT an agreement among nations. Treaties are agreements among nations. The internet is a network of computers that has expanded from the U.S. into other nations (with help from other nations)
Transfer.com,.org, and.edu management to some sort of NGO (ICANN for example), with the purpose being for multi-national corporations, organizations, and institutions of higher education Why? This will just create a clusterfuck of people who want to get one vs. the people that already have one. Leave these ones to the U.S., and make up some new ones like.sch,.npo,.corp for school, organization (non profit), and corporations.
The important thing is that the internet remain decentralized. Yes, you are absolutely right- but switching the governing body of the internet(remember, this is mostly about DNS) isn't necessarily the right answer. I don't know if the U.S. is right, but I do know that the U.N. is WRONG.
Yes, I agree that 'enthusiasts' shop around. I visit fry's rather regularly. But I haven't been able to save money by compiling parts for years. You must either be getting your parts dirt cheap, or are being ripped off by stores/online sellers.
Personally, I've gotten two sony vaio's (P4's, 160GB, 512MB, DVD-R/RW, etc.) recently for close to $600. There's no way I could build that system myself for that price.
If the feature is available on the phone, it must be enabled and not crippled My s710a(from cingular) has bluetooth, Ir, and memory stick- all of which can transfer data (songs, pictures, etc.)
Data on the phone belongs to the user, not the carrier, and must be accessible by the user (to pull data off the phone/put it on without having to go through the carrier). I can't agree more! Now only if others would start to realize this and only buy the phones that have these abilities.
If a feature is on a phone but does not work to the fullest capacity (see: bluetooth on most any phone is the US) these facts MUST BE EXPLICITLY STATED ON THE BOX. This is the argument I use for not switching to verizon. Sure, I may get coverage everywhere, but at what cost? If I can't bluetooth to whoever I want, what good is it?
Jamster is not allowed to operate in the US (OK, so I couldn't think of one more, but this one seems good enough). Agreed, but more as a protection for stupid people and the people who sit near them.
Did you try going to 'Run' and typing 'services.msc'? From here you can see all the services that start up with windows, and disable or stop them.
http://www.blackviper.com/BlackViper used to have all the windows processes listed and which ones you could remove safely. I think his site has been down for a while, but try Google.
Yes, and no. Notice how searching is now known as 'googling'? It's about more than just having the applications availible- brand recognition is what matters. Yahoo! has had a local search utility for a while, and there are plenty of other search engines and mail programs.

Way too strong- try 'different', 'zealot', or 'non-gamer oriented'
Personally, I'd prefer if more people I knew switched to Apple- then I wouldn't have to give them any more computer help.
