  9. Re:No average consumer is going to see this. on Nokia Developing Diamond-Like Gadget Casing · · Score: 1

    Gotta argue - I got an 1100 3 months after they came out, and mine had been:

    run over, twice (by me...oops)
    dropped in an open grey water drain, 5 or more times
    dropped from 1 meter or more onto concrete, 100's of times
    immersed in a vodka tonic (it rang underwater!)
    thrown out of a window by a mate for a laugh
    thrown at a giant frikkin hornet
    sprayed with weed killer
    subject to a gypsy curse (the only explanation for its torture)

    sturdiest phone ever.
    it makes calls too!

  14. Re:Drought now or drought later on Wii Owners Looking at a Nintendo Drought? · · Score: 1

    I don't disagree - brain training was my final push to buy and I grow tired of it, 6 months later. KK I can't get rid of and is possibly the worst game ever. Namco classics is also a waste of space really. Flight of the amazon queen and other classics from the back catalogs however...

    I have been tempted by trauma centre, I might chase it up.
    wario ware - is that the selection of mini games? looks good if its what I think it is.

    checking out the game selection at my local, I'd say the bad/good ratio is closer to 70/1 though...

  15. Re:Drought now or drought later on Wii Owners Looking at a Nintendo Drought? · · Score: 1

    I have to agree - The DS has been out a while, and the only gaems I have are brain training, King Kong (came free, can't give it away and Namco classics (Pongtastic). That said, I have an M3 Lite and Nopass, and most of the C64 and Amiga games back-catalog on a pair of Micro SD cards.

    Or could they be talking out of their asses?

    Is it just possible complexity won't benefit some situations? That simplicity is prefered by some users?

    These and more questions, Captain Obvious will be along soon to answer...

    Seriously, different situations demand different responses. Any claim that one approach is 'always bestest' shouldn't be taken too seriously.

    Well give us something to make positive comments about then...

    Seriously, transparency within the government for example, will cut down on a lot of wasted money as people become outraged at where their money goes.

    Sorry, gotta call you up on this.
    Buy a car? Not unless you get licensed by the State to drive it.

    You own that car, and can do what you like on your on property with it, but to use the roads built by the state you need a license that says you are capable of operating it without killing thousands.

    Buy a house? What is it that you pay each and every year in order to live in that house? Property taxes.

    Property taxes (certainly over here UK) pay for police, fire, ambulance, street sweepers, rubbish collection etc. OK, some pocket lining, I agree, but think what your neighbourhood would be like without any of the above...

    Buy a DVD? You're only borrowing it until someone says so

    True, and not good, but the rest was a bad comparison. There is no good comparison I've heard, as there is nothing like digital rights/IP/etc
