Good conspiracy theory. But what does r-blo stand for? Hmmmm...could be: Read (our story) - Believe (in our product), Love (our product), Order (our product).
I said I could play them on my PC, I didn't say that I did. However, from what I can tell MAME is very popular so, yes, while not all consumers have heard of it, I would think that a large portion of their target audience (old gamers) has. As for the legality of ROMS and if this would motivate people to buy this so they are legal - I have a hard time believing that would be a motivating factor to many.
I guess that's my point - if they are selling to the generation who never played them in the arcade - how do they compete with modern titles, like Doom3? If they are selling them to me and my generation (I remember when getting a role of quarters was heaven on earth) then how do they get me to buy it for the Playstation or Xbox when I can already play them on my PC.
The video game company told The Associated Press on Tuesday it plans to reissue scores of its classic titles from yesteryear on a single disc that can be played on the game consoles Xbox and PlayStation 2.
These have been released for the PC for a while and with all the emulators, etc. out there, I have to wonder if there is a demand for this?
That is an interesting idea, but I disagree. I don't think it helps our democracry to have our leadership selected by a few people who jump through the hoops so they can vote. Most of the people I know who are gung-ho on politics and voting are not the people I want making all the choices in our society (including myself). I like that people who only casually watch politics and don't partake in all the conservative/liberal bashing, name calling, etc. also get to help decide who is elected.
That's cool. That's how it should work. There are a lot of theories on why we don't do that here. One being that, yes, "people might actually vote." Business and special interests run Congress. They have no desire to see the huddled masses registered.
I've thought about this, but I think its a bad idea. We should be free to choose to vote or not, even if only as a way to express dissatisfaction with the offered choices. With your method, the "I don't trust any of the idiots enough to vote for one" selection would probably win every election.
Well, it's a sad commentary on our society when we have to offer people money just to register to vote. Why aren't we all registered automatically when we turn 18? Whether you vote or not is up to you, but at least the excuse of not being registered would be gone.
Gilmore first sued the government and several airlines in July 2002 after airline agents refused to let him board planes in San Francisco and Oakland without first showing an ID or submitting to a more intense search.
Of course, "more intense" is just airline speak for "bend over, please".
What prompted the creation of the Helix community? Does Real see open source as a way to differentiate themselves from Apple and Microsoft, or where there other considerations?
Maybe she did say those things, the article doesn't say. That's not the point. Yes, sadly, restraining orders are kind of a joke. BUT, a restraining order does provide one benefit, it tells the police/courts that you have a problem. I disagree that getting a restraining order let's him know that she is afraid - I think it communicates that she is serious. It ups the ante, whether he calls or not is up to him.
As I understood, Walmart.com was one of the first major sites to sell Linux pre-installed on cheap computers. Whatever you feel about Wal-mart, that is a cool thing, in my opinion.
"Well initially he told me that he really couldn't do anything for me," Tami Kegley says of the Wal-Mart employee she dealt with. "He said it was a corporate issue."
But Tami persisted, and got finally got the $150.00. Carol also got her money back.
Wal-Mart does not need anymore bad publicity, this should be a non-issue, if people got cheated, they need to provide recompense. It's not like they can't afford it.
Police said Gabrielyan tracked the 35-year-old woman, who was not identified, after she ended their relationship, showing up unexpectedly at a book store, an airport and dozens of other places where she was.
Dozens? After about the first six she should have gotten a restraining order.

I still have the originals on laserdisc (widescreen) and my laserdisc player still works - so some of us can keep the dream alive.
He's dead, Jim.

Well, there's a reason why the company is called Danger - they like to take chances.

How about the parts about writing essays.

Probably not the first question I'd ask, probably more like, what the hell am I going to buy today?
Of course, "more intense" is just airline speak for "bend over, please".

I don't know, do I really need to see every pore on my family's face in home movies?

Probably true, but if your stupid enough to commit fraud for a couple hundred dollars, then good riddance.
And people wonder why no one believes them when they have a legitimate gripe.

With as little as IE has changed over those seven years, referencing IE 3 is probably just as well.
Shhhh...don't tell the Elders.
So, what the hell rates a 10?
