THe whole point of the special moves was that they were hard to get out. That was one of the things making them special. This sort of ruins it, surely. THe balance of play will end up all wrong, with everybody just doing supermoves all the time, because they are easy.
It really sounds like this issue was brought up by some teenager from japan, who recently move to the US.
Firstly, these Japanese pop bands, just like pop bands outside of the two major music producing areas (USA and UK, with exceptions now and again), are very simple and derivative. Even by pop music standards. They are only really popular, because people want to hear songs in their own language.
Secondly, just because Apple can sell those songs technically, doesn't mean they can legally. You addressed this issue.
Slashdot, maybe we can stay away from the teenage blogs.
Guess some j-pop fans caught mod points today. I feel your pain about Japanese music, though. "Insanely great " might be stretching things.
Maybe I was a bit harsh, I don't hate j-pop anymore than any other pop music. I thought that it was generally agreed about how bad pop music is in all countries. I guess not. Sorry that I upset someones sensibilities.

You would think that companies such as Dell and HP would see the value in having another OS to choose, and would actively support Linux. If they had any sense, they would use their clout, as well as ply money into helping establish Linux as an alternative. Maybe they are all just waiting for someone else to do it.
SUre, that might be the manufacturing cost of a Big Mac, but that doesn't really relate to the price charged for a Big Mac, except that in most cases, it should be lower. Price is set by demand.
Insurance adds, and Loan assitance adds get to me, but what really annoy me are the adverts where they pretend that they are actually interviewing someone, when it is all just actors reading from a script. I know people fall for this stuff all the time, but it is so obvious and annoying. The one on UK tv I really hate is the people applying for home loans "really, i will save how much, that is amazing" - yeah, thanks for that.
Wow, I would never put up UK food over any other country, including third world. This is a very bad indication of things in the US. I remember seeing in a supermarket ready-to-pour scramble eggs in a carton.
But come on, the UK, where half the supermarket is taken up by ready meals, where 30% of the population don't eat fresh fruit or vegetables (and not just regularly, ever!)
Agreed, most of the time it is like that. But it is great, for those few weeks of the year, to be able to access your email anywhere. I have a google account, and a Microsoft outlook (mandated by work), but will always use the google account because of its greater flexibility. It is great to log on, when I am travelling, from airports and strange cities, and have everybodies address at my fingertips. Don't discount this.
Sure, is is not hefty compared to the latest machines, but the latest machines are quite advanced to machines from 2 years ago. And my question is, what do you get for the increased constraints that makes it worth it?
THe way most rootkit revealers work, they need windows to be running. What you are after is some sort of Virus checker, that looks through the files on a harddrive, for a particular signature. Rootkit revealers are better in some ways, because they don't need a signature database, which can be incomplete.
I've seen what ambitious, driven people look like. Take someone like Dick Cheney for example. Here's a guy who clawed his way to the top, literally. He's worked his way to a level of wealth and power most people only dream of, and his face is like a road-map of pain and desperation. I wouldn't want to be inside his head on the day he shuffles off this earth.
This might make you feel better when you yourself haven't advanced much, but it still a load of rubbish. Working at advancing isn't anymore stressful than any other kind of work, and is a necessary part of the process of advancement. You can bury your head in the sand, and insist that while at work, you will only program, and not pursue any social contacts, but that is your choice. Myself, I will work hard at both.
Yes, Segas two pronged attack of the 360 and the Wii seems to be having a great effect. It was very clever of the Sega to break up into two companies, Microsoft and Nintendo.
Heh, I loved the dreamcast as well, but lets not get away with ourselves here.
Well, we really should be trying to reduce the problem. The only problem is, you can't really do this on a country by country basis. You really need to reduce the world population (especially in some areas), and it is difficult to do this from inside a country, and outside it has bearing of being a racist. This will not really happen until we have a world government. And we can't really have a world government with rogue nations running around doing anything they want.
I can't believe that I have just given some small justification to the George Bush case for world domination.
What do you think the agreement was for? It took most of the time to hash out the finer points, on what sort of bullshit surveys Novell were allowed to use.
Can you really say that playing Soul Caliber on an emulator is the same experience as playing it on the dreamcast? Two people hunched over each side of the keyboard.
I mean emulators are great, but they never match the whole experience, how can they? I am sure that a dreamcast wouldn't cost that much. Every heard of ebay?
The UK version of craigslist is the gumtree, which was originally setup for aussies in the UK, but is now a very popular site. It doesn't charge either (except maybe in London for certain things), and is a great source to buy and sell goods.
Yeah, I can see this argument if Sony wrote an editorial for a newspaper, or hired a radio personality to read out a prepared statement. But in this case, they are pretending to be a couple of teenage nobodies.
If you don't like being lied to, then I suggest you never watch TV, never read a newspaper or magazine, or go to an internet site with advertising. Seriously, what is the line between advertising and lying?
How the hell does this compare to Sony pretending to be a couple of teenagers? How does this even make any sense at all?
Do you get upset everytime someone has an add on tv, where they hire actors to pretend to take out a home loan? Or buy a car? I understand this is taking it to the next level - a little bit - , but is not really that different.
Sorry, I am not quite clear on what Sony has done wrong? They paid someone to help them advertise the PSP. The advertises did this by attempting to create a viral campaign. Ok, so beside the fact that this is clearly not aimed at slashdotters or the other people who seem to be getting upset about it, why is this a problem?
Don't get me wrong, I will never by a PSP or another sony product again (the cameras were ok), for the many attrocties they have done on the buying product (and I don't count the price of the PS3 amoung them), but lets stop knocking them for every little thing they do.

Cool. Why don't you tell us the story about how you donated your printer to Goodwill as well, I haven't heard that one for a while.

I am used to being sent to 0, but not so fast.
Yeah, just train it on Iraq, and get everyone to move out. No problem getting all that oil, now.
Did you ever imagine that you are the evildoers??
Maybe they can use a mirror, to deflect the rays back at the evil doers.
BTW, WE all know that the military invented the Internet (DARPA), unlike you. And we don't really hate the internet.

Only on slashdot would someone request a gift of a Ferrari NOTEBOOK!
What, they make cars as well??
