Honestly, this is getting rediculous. Terrorist, infringing on our copyright laws. WHAT THE HELL. Well then, I may as well go ahead and admit I am a terrorist. I have downloaded countless materials that probably lead to the slaughter of little children. I mean heck, with my contribution to the piracy, why not consider me a key planner in 9/11? The government has done some stupid things as of late. But this...this takes the cake.
You obviously aren't reading up in the emulation branch of technology. Gamecube has some somewhat playable titles on emulators now. How long has that taken?
While Sony is claiming that the PS3 will be amazingly powerful, and the current specs look better than Microsoft's, emulation is no small task. Two pieces of hardware with two entirely different archetectures, there is no simple way to take something in the same format and make it playable on two different architechtures.
Sure, this would yeild great profits and whatnot, but if Sony is able to emulate Xbox360 in under 6 months. Then I bet I could find you a working emulator made by bored programmers in 2 months.
Despite being improbable that Sony would attempt this, its rather fantastical and I would hold it as impossible.
Who told you about the WiFi?!
*hides in corner*
I meant it as more of a, not worth the money in my opinion type thing, not a "everything should be free" sense.
Hurray for giving the losers a boost! Nothings better than dusting them, only to have them right back behind you shortly after.:\ And thus I prefer realistic racing games.
Unless they can kidnap Scott Bakula and the rest of the cast and build sets in their basements...
Ok, so I have them in my basement now. The other fan is going now to get a video camera. One problem though, no good material. But looking at the past episodes, I would have to say that we should hit about the same quality.
I keep reading posts about if they get the money. It's not a matter of money. It's a matter of the show being an utter failure. As someone said in a post above. If a Star Trek show has to be cancled. Then let it go, something went terribly wrong. I myself am not a Star Trek fan, but I realize the community that is there. And if a show is cancled...it must be really bad.
I honestly agree with this policy. When I have kids I don't want them buying Doom 3 and playing it when they're 10 years old without my knowledge. While I do not currently forsee myself forbidding such a game, I would most certainly like some sort of regulation on what my children can do. If they want a game as such, I will go buy it for them. But this is just one of many possible solutions to the "problem."
My senior year of high school I had just gotten a flashy new 256mB USB drive. While it had it's nerd value and was greta for moviing files from my friends broadband to my 56k connected home. I had never had a real reason to love it. Then AP Physics came along...
So I was sitting in my self study class while the teacher taught regular Physics. I asked a question and he reffered me to his computer. I'm thinking ok, there must be some sort of helpful software.
He then preceded to open some folders and boom, a.pdf with all the answers to the chapter, and not just that full blown solutions. Never in my life have I cheated on a large scale such as this but...who wouldn't have? The PC was in the back room, and he had no way of seeing me. Within a week he became comfortable with me regularly using the PC for extended periods, which, after I recieved the files became a fun game time.
He never found out, and I never did homework again. I looked for tests but they were all outdated. I did manage to find house and phone numbes of a class that graduated 2 years before me. Dunno why he had that one.
Heh, computer security is a huge problem. Teachers don't realize how smart some students are. In 3rd grade I had what I felt was a kindergarden account on our school computers. So I found out that ABC\123 had full access to all games and programs, including the teachers grading programs, though it was account specific. Needless to say eventually I was caught, but they really didn't care. My mother worked at the school and they brought me to her and said, "Tell him this is wrong..." My mother laughed, and I continued to use the account. Later in middle school I determinged the naming convention for techers quite easily, and figuered out the tags that the various persons went by on the walkie talkies. Needless to say our Principle was my prime target, and our mascot was the Panther. Panther1 just happened to be the pass, who would of thought?! Then somehow this information leak *whistle* and the password was changed to something more secure. [As in something a 7th grader couldn't guess off the top of his head]
Fond memories:)
While for the nerdness factor of this set i would of course love to have them all. Since I am a Computer Science major intrerested in AI. They are indeed just books.
Anyways, I'm keeping all my Goosebumps incase there's a "Compilation of shitty horror short stories for children" auction anytime soon. Because hey, you never know...
Because obivously everything of those genres is stolen. Tips to anyone who's parents install this: Step one, shoot yourself. Step two...one was enough.
I tihnk I'm starting to like this Patriot Act thing. So far it appears to be a viable excuse to get the asshats out of society. Though the whole thing about them knowing what I'm doing all the time still kinda bothers me. *puts on tin hat*
People, please stop posting links to your favorite torrent site that is still up and kicking. They are already under tremendous pressure right now, and I don't want them to have any more attension brought to them. Those that are interested can find the sites themselves, so please, help save the few that are left and stop posting links.
Thank god I found some good private trackers that are holding their heads high still. SuprNova I will mourn this day in memory of you.:( You brought me world's of enjoyment that I never new a fast bandwidth could provide. All of those guys out there who run these sites are true hero's in my eyes. Time to put on the tin foil hats, they're always after me lucky charms.

No burning of the ISO is needed. The Xbox comes with a harddrive equipped with about 6GB of free space on it, and Halo 2 is only 3GB at this stage, which is undoubtedly going to change. You could "softmod" [software moddification] the xbox, methods can be found on Xbox-Scene. So after softmodding your Xbox, you could then load it to the harddrive and play it. And Xbox Live will not be disabled, though please note, that to play Xbox Live you must be playing it from the original game disc. So you can not play Xbox Live off of the harddrive. This is because Xbox Live checks the BIOS of the Xbox to see if it has been modified. To load a game from the harddrive, you need to run a modified BIOS, whether it is on boot, (hardware/modchip) or after a special sequence of commands causing a bootable-from-media BIOS to load (software).
I just hope this game is as good as I imagine it will be. Fable was a huge dissapointment for me. I was waiting for it since last christmas, and was sick of it in a week. No where near as epic as I expected. Though I don't really see how they could mess up Halo 2, I am quit sure it is possible. Let's just all pray to the god of Halo.
These PDA's appear to be directed more as tour guides than as a hikers companion.
From the main page:
"Node provides services and products that take the visitor experience of a building, national park or city further and deeper than ever before."
Thus keeping this ideal in mind, a 8 hour battery life is pretty good. I can't think of to many tour's that would be lasting that long. So when the group returns you plug it in the charger and it is ready to go when the next group arrives.

Other than graphics they seem to have made Xbox360 pretty much what I have made my Xbox. Right up to the visualizations that I love so much.
Hah, well get pictures when it exists.

Is TiVo free? Last I heard no.
In which case expect me to take no part in it.
Sorry TiVo, but I like my money in my pocket.
Hurray for giving the losers a boost! Nothings better than dusting them, only to have them right back behind you shortly after. :\ And thus I prefer realistic racing games.
Are they calling Spider Man 2 a quality game? Anyone who has played this game will agree it is complete shit.

I just make sure to upload to at least 100% and I never have anyone ask me about returning my copy...

There is no way both fans have that kind of money.
