I live in Adelaide, Australia, and our only newspaper is the Adelaide Advertiser, the very first newspaper (and news medium of any form) to come under his clutches. I cant really remember what a real newspaper is like.
Dreamcast had wicked games straight away. It had Soul Calibur, still the best fighting game I have ever played. Soul Blade was good on the PSX, but SC is much better. It looks incredible, and plays so fast. Crazy Taxi, another wicked game was also out from the beginning.
Of course, this is neither here nor there. Im sure the psx2 will have good games. I wont be buying anything though, DC or PSX2. (even with DVD's) -
Email it. From home, i can email to my uni account, and any uni computer has access to the web, at least at our uni. Then i just use the email program, and can download the file to the current computer. No disk problems.
C'mon mate, that preview button is there for a reason, can you please check your spelling.... "We've had one at work since the Japanese launch, and it's come out of the cupboard a grand total of *five* time. Four times for Tekken, once for Ridge Racer. Only three people have bothered to borrow it. That's in an office full of Lamers"
So have they fixed that problem yet....

OK, so this may be construed by some people as a flame but....
..yesterday, my friend wanted to copy a file from one disk to another, and since we were using a uni computer, i assumed that the harddrive would be locked. So i thought, considering myself relatively smart, that i could load up the doc in word, eject the disk, put in the new disk, and save it onto the new disk. So i load it up, eject the disk, put in the new disk, and try to save it, but then it prompts me to insert the old disk. So i do so, but it seems to want me to swap diskc ad infinitem.
What the hell is this about. Why does it even need the old disk back in the first place. This was very frustrating.
>If you shoot without thinking, you might as well start shooting innocent people.
..ahh, a common mistake to make. That is the difference between the Army and the Police force. As demonstrated when you see there training sequences. The police force have innocent bystanders pop up, which you aren't supposed to shoot. The Army have no bystanders, you shoot everyone.
>Well, any military worth it's rounds would train to think before shooting.
..no you are not supposed to think before shooting. If this was true, you might decide not to shoot, for various reasons. The people in command dont want members of the Army to think, just follow their commands.
but what if it tries the incorrect region first. Then the player will lock into that region, and so the will not pass the second test. And since this is in software, so discs can be set to check your way, and some to check my way.
>With 128 KB L1 cache, a totally-new FPU unit and now 256 KB of on-die CPU-speed L2 cache
So if the L2 cache runs at CPU-speed, then how fast does the L1 cache. Surely it cant run faster that this, so what is the difference between L1 and L2????
STVOY has definately got a lot better in the last two seasons.
Although i may be biased, since i like it from the beginning, much more than DS9 and TNG, but is still seems to have improved, ever since 7of9 came aboard. And not just because of her.
Anyway, this game is great. Best game i have played since Halflife and Opposing Force. It has a great story line, which really grabs you. And there are actually some bits where you dont shoot.
I think the AI is a bit better han past games too, since the enemy will often try to hide, and bob up and down firing at you.
...A bunch of computer nerds dont like the olympics. (I am a computer nerd too.)
Be honest, a lot of you people wouldnt watch it anyway. You aren't interested in the olympics, like a lot of other people around the world. The IOC has become what it has become out of necessity, to compete in the rating race in the modern world. It slowely grew into such a huge monolith organisation, just like Coke, and Microsoft.
Get over it. If you dont like how it will be presented, your real bone of contention will be with NBC, or whoever is broadcasting it over there.
But Humans are in essence, the anit-Darwinism. Not so much with this tassy devil thing, but the way or society is organised. We spend so much time keeping sick people alive, and giving everyone the right to have children, that it is no longer about the fittest surviving, but everybody.
Negative mutations that would have killed of a few people in the old days, are now alowed to flourish and pollute them gene pool.
>Personally, I want all the knowledge I can get, even if it does kill me, because if I stop learning I might as well stop living anyway.
So what if this knowledge kills not just you, but everyone and everything on this planet?
Is it still worth it.
Knowledge is growing at an incredible rate, and seeming this rate is growing every day. Too often we are only concentrate on the pursuit of this knowledge, and not the benefits or harm that it may bring.

I think you are preaching to a lost soul, like the majority of people out there.
Is it even worth trying to change people. I suppose so, but dont delude yourself into thinking that everybody is going to wake up one day.
I really hate how they say
Stanely Kubrick's 2001
its Arthur C Clarke's 2001, what the hell did he have to do with it. Made a great book into a great film... we commend him for doing his job???
not so much cheaper these days...
In Australia
Playstation 2 = $750
Celeron 700 system with monitor, 10gig hd, 64 meg ram = $999
Not that much of a difference anymore...
Of course, the ps2 will probably, slowely come down
Ha, you think that you have it bad...

Dont forget the Black Box they use in airplanes. The Ute - Utility truck. The BBQ. Secret ballot system - that most countries use to cast votes.
Dont be so sure on Canada security.
In Australia, the Queen fired the Prime Minister, i think it was Gough Whitlam.

Dont wont no DVD player, ohh no.
I'm rather surprised that this comments in this story seem seems to indicate that sega believes that you should buy a card, to play pirated games.
Dont you think that Sega would be making a rather big mistake, creating a card where by you can only play pirated games, not the games that they sell.
And you got upped to 3????
Yeah....
...but can it play DVD's and PS2 games at the same time. Then i will buy one.
Just do what i do.

I though everybody did this...

Surely they would have fixed this in MacOSX????

I thought the same thing.
Arent they just huge asteroids then??

Really, and excellent game
this show, 'The Games' is an absolute classic, much in the vein of "Yes Minister' for our english viewers.
I have a relative who is involved in organising the Sydney Olympics, and comments on how accurate this show really is.
You must check this out. I am really surprised that they have it on ABC, the government station.
...A bunch of computer nerds dont like the olympics. (I am a computer nerd too.)

Im ok, ill be going to see it. Yeah.
I kept on reading 'I' as a fancy T, and couldnt make any sense of what you are talking about.
Then my brain came on line, and i figured it out.
Well, obviously they are a huge threat to mankind, so they should all be destroyed. No question.
I mean, they are the ones who are destroying our habitat, ripping down our houses, hunting us for fun.
Anything that is not human must be destroyed.
But Humans are in essence, the anit-Darwinism. Not so much with this tassy devil thing, but the way or society is organised. We spend so much time keeping sick people alive, and giving everyone the right to have children, that it is no longer about the fittest surviving, but everybody.
Negative mutations that would have killed of a few people in the old days, are now alowed to flourish and pollute them gene pool.
This is something that needs to be addressed.

Something to think about.
