The dothan caps at 27 wats, the yonah goes from approx 25-49 under max load(depending on model, there is an Extreme gamer chip version so that might explain the rather high second number), but it will most definetly not use 45 when not plugged in and probably go closer to the the min.
I hate steam as well, but your information is highly misleading.
There is no such thing as cd keys being bound to machine, they are bound to a specific account. So all your son would need to do to play the game on his computer would be to install steam and log in under your account information.
This means that you can log onto a friends computer, public computer and play steam from your account there no problem.(in fact over here at uni i have a few accounts so i log in under my friends comps so we can play online together)
The catch is only one account may be played at one time, if you are logged on your computer and your son logs on his computer you will get logged out. None of this banning bullshit your talking about. The banning was valve leaked a cdkey and around 30 000 people used this one key, if your key is already in use they will tell you it is in use, not ban you.
Steam is definetely not my preffered method of distribution (ut2k4 would be) but its far better then you portray it to be.

" But the device will require close scrutiny to ensure compliance with a United Nations protocol on blinding laser weapons."
"Laser weapons capable of blinding enemies have been developed in the past but were banned under a 1995 UN convention called the Protocol on Blinding Laser Weapons. The wording of this protocol, however, does not prohibit lasers that temporarily dazzle a foe."
I blieve ghost was being sent to a third party to work on and then blizzard bought the company so they could work on it.(which is why its still not out yet)
There was actually a disney movie(cant remember the name) that someone managed to tamper with and add porngographic content into, which shipped. The hidden content was displayed in the backgroung only very briefly during one of the scenes.
By your logic we should all be paranoid that are computers are all hijacked by undetectable spyware and viruses just becuase we connect to the internet.
No i cant prove to you for certain that my computer is clean, but i can tell you for a fact its certainly not connecting to the internet or transmitting itself in any way. My internet use is monitered so i can check how much im sending and where im connecting too. So unless my computer is infected by some program that does absoluetly nothing, then i can tell you i'm fairly positve my computer is clean.
I suppose if you take the extreme end of the spectrum it infects all exectuables on my computer and transmits when i send files out which is why i dont notice the traffic, but i wont bother arguing wether a scenario like this is likely.
Ive gotten spyware once on my old computer. And i managed to determine exactly in less then 20 minutes after getting it how it got in, and then removed it by hand (since my adware tools were not able to detected it) a few minutes later. Ive never gotten any again. But if your still worried about the internet maybe you should lock the door and put on some protective gear before you turn your computer on......
Ive heard this number before, but im not really sure what their testing it with. I bought a computer about 3 months ago and had it on the net for about a week straight before i bothered patching it installing my firewall etc etc. I've never gotten any spyware on this computer, any viruses , or other random crap and i havn't had any problems with the computer.
Maybe if you install windows xp sans sp1 then something might happen this fast, but what computers come without sp2 these days that most consumers actually install?
I have a first generation ps2(the initial batch released to north america, not pre-ordered but it came with the same batch) and my ps2 still works with ps2 games, dvds and it plays all my psone games. And this is after years of heavy use. So I have no idea where youve got any of this information since this is the first time ive heard it. Maybe your friends ps2 is broken?
Well I guess we can use all the extra water we will get in 20-100 years when the ice caps start to melt, as previously mentioned on slashdot! This way we solve both the hydrogen supply and the flooding at the same time.
Er, since i have a mp3 player for my gameboy ADVANCE(admitadly, no ff, or rw, or VBR ecoded mp3s but its a gimmick more than anything usefull), i have a hard time believing that a ds cant play mp3's in realtime. Where did you hear this?
I actually got something like that from bestbuy, its called music player advance. It only has 48MB of space though, sounds choppy and cant fast forward or rewind.
Not exactly. Those are just what they expect you'll need based on the other setting. a friend of mine has 256 mb ram ddr 2700 ram and it runs fine. granted he also has a 3200+ amd 64 which does help, but basically if you have a faster processor and video card you could get away with less ram.
I never though mystic quest was that bad of a game, having owend it and beat it. It was just a simple rpg, nothing horible about it. Waynes World on the other hand........

Well you can order sp2 discs from microsoft free of charge: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updat es/sp2/cdorder/en_us/default.mspx But it is true that most people who dont already have it or know about the free order are not going to be bothered to go through the hassle to get it free.

Well http://slashdot.org/ is, www.slashdot.org is a bit further down. I guess to conlude most people find typing www. excessively time consuming.
Id have to agree, in fact I'm thinking of buying a ds just for Nintendogs. I cant afford a psp so its not really an option.
