What kind of conversion are you speaking of, caffeine? If that is the case then you cannot really do this conversion without knowing what kind of tea he is drinking. I also disagree with you on converting with this method as maybe he is drinking it for something other than caffeine, such as taste or just having something to drink.
There are a ton of great games for the cube, as long as you can give them a chance you will love them.
The Pikmin series is my favorite (The closest thing that I can compare it to is a cross between an RTS and 3rd person game). The Metroid Prime series is excelent. If your into RPG's Tales of Symphone is a great game, and lets not forget the most visually impressive console game to date, Resident Evil 4.
Where the cube really shines is in "party" games, there is nothing like pummeling a foe in Super Smas Bros. and then proceeding to turn and laugh in their face. If you don't mind spending the money on some hardware, Donkey Konga is a highly adictive game, its just not the same without the bongos though, so your gonne need to fork out some cash for them. You also have Geist (out on august 15th) and Zelda as some good upcoming releases.
I quit using AIM when a rocket took off from the AIM ad area and flew around my screens (dual monitor) over apps that I was using at the time on my second monitor. I'm not sure when flying ads that completely lock up the use of a system became the point of a chat app, at least GAIM hasn't followed suit.
If you RTFA then you would know that they are talking about different extensions, and it lists a ton of them that they currently support:
These include FlashGot, which lets Firefox work with third-party download managers; Bandwidth Tester, which lets people determine their connection speed; and SwitchProxy, which lets people surf anonymously with Firefox by configuring Firefox to work with multiple Web proxy servers. Round Two is providing developers of these extensions with technical resources including Web servers, bandwidth, project management resources and some financial support.
Round Two also said it was supporting StockTicker, TinyURL Creator, Copy Plain Text, Extension Uninstaller, Lorem Ipsum Content Generator, OpenDownload, Open Long URLs, Search Plugins and Secure Password Generator.
Smash Bros should really cound as more than one game. No other game can give you the ammount of play time that Smash Bros can. And yes I own an xbox and play Halo 2 online, but nothing can compare to smashing poor jigglypuff off the screen then taunting your friend sitting next to you, only to get owned by the party hat pikachu seconds later while your trying to jump one of samus' charged blasts.
The original Pikmin has gone players choice I believe, which should have the price tag of $20 on it. While the original was harder, mostly due to the 30 day(not real days, game days) limit you had to complete the game. On the other hand, Pikmin 2 added multiplayer options, 2 new colors of pikmin, and randomly generated dungeons(so things don't get too stale). Pikmin 2 seems easier than the original, but mostly because you have all the time you want to complete your task, so you really don't have to rush into things getting all your pikmin killed. In my opinion the Pikmin series is a must have if you own the gamecube, players who can look past the no blood factor will find some amazing gameplay and strategy underneath the not so mature graphics. Give it a rent, or go and buy one of them, you won't be dissapointed.
More or less they thought it wouldn't be a problem, but now it is and they have x number of psp's already produced. Its cheaper to make up a lame excuse than to scrap the already made psp's and make new ones.
They are seperate problems. Sony has said that the sensor problem cannot be fixed w/o making the screen smaller or making the frame bigger. Apparently part of the screen is in the area where the sensor should be, so the quick fix was to just move the sensor over a bit.
Wario ware comes out on the 15th I believe, thats a must have. I only own Mario 64 for my DS, other than that I play gba games on it (which look great by the way) Go pick up a good gba game for rather cheap like Final Fantasy: Dawn of Souls which is on sale at Circuit City this week I believe.
Actually most DS games are much cheaper than console games. A majority of them were going at $30 on launch. I have seen some games which are not yet released that were quoted with higher prices, but that isn't really trustworthy. Madden I believe was going for $40, which is still lower than the $50-$60 that it launched for the consoles.
The UMD Disk shooting is real, gamespot and several other large gaming sites had articles on it, and there were even videos to prove it, apparently your just uninformed. As far as the dead pixels, all you have to do is send your DS to Nintendo and they will give you a new one, their support is second to none, we all know that cannot be said with Sony and all the PS2 and now PSP problems.
I can tell you how much physical security can hurt a network from experience, in college I took a computer security corse, in which my main paper was on Windows XP security (or lack thereof). After doing research and all I became highly interested in it, and of corse being college students we decided to see how far we could get into our college's network. It started off with me simply rebooting a network computer with a DOS boot disk with NTFS reading capabilites, from there I stole the sam file, and ran it into l0phtcrack. Now l0phtcrack takes a long time to run completely (give or take 2 months on an athlon xp 1900+). I then came across a simple program that looked like the windows 2k lock screen, so we set that up and used some social engineering skills to trick a student aid into "unlocking" the computer for us. Now in the end I would have been able to crack the password anyways, since I had access to the bios settings, but I ask how can a college stop something from this from happening? After all student aids may need those privledges depending upon what they are assigned to do.
At my college, CS majors had to take some CIS courses, and they were quite boring and overly easy for us. So we used to spoof netsend messages to kids who sat in front of us, send them messages from "Anti-Virus Scanner" asking them to reboot the computer because a virus was just removed and it was humorous watching the entire front row restarting their computers over and over again. It got to the point where eventually one of the kids figured out that we were using netsend and would spam the room with "Did you send that to me?" messages, so we decided to start responding with the teacher's computer name and telling him to pay attention, this all ended when he responded back to the spoofed address of the teachers computer, needless to say the teacher was not happy, funny thing is that the dumbass was stupid enough to send it w/o spoofing his computer name and the teacher used a projector to show examples to the class, so everyone knew that he did it.
I can agree with you, I think things would be best for the consumer if there were no exclusive deals. But its easier (and more than likely cheaper) for EA to buy an exclusive contract than to attempt to make a better product than the competition.
Its a good thing that Take Two was able to get this deal done, if this had not happen I am sure that EA would have been after a MLB exclusive since they don't seem able to create their own games anymore w/o locking up the market before hand.
On another note, its about time that EA Sports changed their catch phrase from "It's in the game" to "It's not in any other game."
I'm not sure how you can claim that M$ has no chipmaker loyalties. Clearly they have picked Intel over AMD with their decisions to push back the Winxp 64 release dates till Intel can come out with a product to compete with the AMD64.
Clearly you can't read. This was a launch game in Japan. The DS launched before the PSP, so how can Nintendo be copying Sony with this one? By your logic Sony is copying Nintendo by making the PSP a multi-purpose player since Nintendo has done this on the Japan launch.
The RIAA is the reason that Apple is restricting the music, in order to sell it Apple must restrict how it can be used, in the end its all traced back to the RIAA.
I have a problem with the facts (or lack there of) in the original article.
1. It just doesn't make sense to buy 2 gba's and 1 game, even if the kids share the game you always have an idle gba
2. Why doesn't the guy ever say where the game came from, is he hiding something, or did they not include that part in the script they gave him?
3. Why on earth does that little girl know the f word already, or was that in the script too?
Now, I know that I can buy monster's inc. and flash the cart with whatever I want and take it back to EB, and more than likely they would not notice. Then someone would eventually buy it as an used game, but if this was the case, why wasn't a store mentioned? So I conclude that either this guy bought the games from a shady source (because he was too cheap to buy the real deal, or too stupid to understand that there may be a difference) or that the story is entirely made up.

get yourself vlc(aka videolan) and you will be set.
Here is hoping that someone captures these demos so I can load them to my ds via wifime.
I am pretty sure he was refering to the free live, as Nintendo has said that their internet services will all be free.

I am sure that sites which should belong on the blacklist popup and dissapear all the time, keeping track of them is surely impossible
Actually they have already done voice-recognition, see Mario Party 6.
