Not true. I've had a Dreamcast since it launched, I've been downloading and burning homebrews for it since I've discovered them, yet I still loved and played the "real" games (when they were making them). The homebrews just gave more funciton to my Dreamcast, but it didn't replace the games.
Yeah, but at the same time you hear music that promotes misogynistic behavior and promotes violent and illegal behavior that still gets sold at Wal-Mart stores. Sure they may have cleaned up the profanity, but the themes remain the same.
Also, you can always argue that Grand Theft Auto is no worst for kids than some "James Bond" FPS if played correctly. I'm sure you can play through the game without soliciting prostitutes, entering codes that will make the game pornographic, or even killing innocent bystanders. If they player chooses to do those things, that's their choice. No one forced them, it's just that the game doesn't really stop them from doing those things either.
Actually, they said at the press conference that they weren't going to charge for their online service (for the DS), nor were the going to charge for playing first party games online (it will be up to third party developers if they're going to charge for their games to be played online). I would assume this would also be true for the Revolution. More than likely you're just going to have to pay for each game download.
I do wonder though. How will it be stored? Is the Revolution going to have a hard drive or is it going to have a massive memory card? Will you be able to move a copy of your game to a different Revolution system? What if your system breaks? Or you own more than one system?
Why is it that Nintendo always seems to create more questions than it answers at these press conferences???
Wow... I feel really special because I'm only paying about $15 a month for Adelphia's Powerlink (3mbps down/?? mbps up). I don't remember exactly how much my upload speed is, but it's perfect for how much I upload. I think it might be at 512k... not sure. But that $15 a month ends in December... it was through a promotion that I got it that low and it was only for a year... still, it's been sweet while I've had it.
Okay. You may not like Ashlee Simpson, but I dont' see how someone who does like Ashlee Simpson is inferior to someone who likes Nicolò Paganini. In the end, they're both satisfying what they want to hear. You are entitled to your opinion that Ashlee Simpson sucks, but there is not reason you should force that opinion on anyone else by insulting their intelligence. I, for one, just bought "Autobiography" yesterday. In my opinion, it is a good album. Why? Simply because I like it. Does that make me dumb? Not really, no. Atleast I'm not pretending to hate Ashlee Simpson just because... There is no reason for me to hate her music when I clearly don't.
As for boycotting RIAA artists... not a bad idea, but I can't do it. I am a very devoted Mariah Carey fan, even if you can find me someone else with an amazing voice just like hers, who sings songs just like her, you still couldn't replace her. I can't replace some of my favorite artists. I will always choose John Mayer over any of the copycats because every artist is different, even if they're within the same genre. So to ask me to give up RIAA artists for non-RIAA artists is like asking a Coke addict trade Coke for Sugar. Sure, they may look the same... but that's about it.
However, I'm always open to trying new artists, new genres, and what not (trust me, you should see my music library, it's eclectic to say the least) and although I can like it more than other artists, you just can't replace another artist.
Not necessarily as the Wavebird uses an RF signal, while the DS I heard uses a proprietary signal (which many mistake for blutooth) for it's DS to DS connections (I'm not talking about the 802.11 connection). I doubt the proprietary signal is RF as, first of all, RF isn't proprietary, and second of all, RF probably wouldn't be very good for wireless connectivity.
That might not be the case with the DS and the PSP as they are so different I would think that it'd be very difficult to bring a DS game to the PSP. The DS just has more control avaiable than the PSP, and it'd be pretty hard to substitute the DS' touchscreen with anything on the PSP. This is on the hunch that most DS games will use the touchscreen capabilities.
I think you meant that the N64 was significantly more powerful than the N64 as clearly the PS1 (as much as it pains this Nintendo demi-fanboy to say) won that generation of consoles. Also because the N64 had was more powerful than the PS1 (with the exception of storage medium).
I honestly don't know, but the fact that I heard that SquareEnix is working on Crystal Chronicles for the DS should be enough reason to buy it. Think about it. On the top screen you have the 3D part of the game, on the bottom (which is the touch screen) you have what would normally be the GBA menu and you can connect up with your friends wirelessly or possibly through the internet (considering it is 802.11 compatible).
The bottom screen is the only touch screen as far as I've heard. I remember IGN saying that they made the cover that they put over all of their GB screens extra tough on the bottom screen to resist the abuse it would get from constantly touching it. So I guess you don't need to worry about scratching the bottom screen.
I live in Orlando, the lightning capital of the world (they say), and I'm think I'm going to agree with them on this. Just the other day, I was working at Sea World and lightning struck a few yards away from where I was working, then it struck again on the lake in front of the Nautilus Theater, and then it struck the Sky Tower, and then I ran inside... Lightning is teh scary, but very pretty ^_^! Not so later on, I had to do the trash around the area, so I had to go outside again, and I hear an ambulence siren and my co-worker (Paul, who has been working there much longer than I have) instinctively knew that someone was struck... I proceeded to freak out. Again, lightning is teh scary!
If you listen to the calls, then why don't you fire them... seriously. If they know that they can be terminated for not doing their job right, then they usually will do their job right for fear of termination... if you constantly have a case where they don't care if they really get fired, then maybe your company isn't paying them enough, or the benefits might suck. If the pay is higher and the benefits are good, then you might attract decent employees. That's just my two cents.
That explains why I couldn't get Fedora installed on my friends old Pentium II PC! I never bothered to check the system requirement as I assumed that they were really low. Maybe I should check again. Or maybe I should try a different distribution... any suggestions?
Actually, the boyfriend was modeled after the voice actor, Alec Baldwin, who does look remarkably like Ben Aflec in real life anyway. I think they modeled all of the characters after the voice actors and changed them a bit to make them look different or better. I could be wrong though, so correct me if I am.
Slashdot Mirror
Why is Apple even bothering releasing an x86 version of their OS if they only want to run it on their hardware?

What? Where am I? I can't be at Slashdot! There's no way I will ever find a comment praising a Microsoft product at Slashdot. No way!
Imagine how long it will take until someone cracks the stripped-down edition and make it so that it works just like the full version of OSX.
Actually, yes, forward that to Hollywood. I'm tired of all of the remakes and sequels!
I do wonder how long it will be before someone stalks another car because they like the songs its playing and wants to stay in range of its roadcast.

It takes you four hours?
What the hell does that have to do with VoIP!?!? But yeah. I will admit it. She is hot.
Honestly, I loved Pretty Guardian Sailormoon (although I was disappointed at the ending), but the "fighting" was something I always mocked.
I am excited about Verizon's Fiber service!

^_^' Eheh... guess I was never informed. Now that I think about it, that does make sense. Yeah, I'll shut up now.

look here.
If that doesn't work, then try going here first.

Yes, I agree with you wholeheartedly on this.
