I'm not an insider or anything, but they seem to be pretty quick on their feet to adjust to the market. They're still going to sell new games and used games for PS3/360 for quite a while even after PS4/720 come out. They're also selling cards for your steam wallet and MS points etc. Probably still in the used system market as well, not to mention the nice margin on off brand controllers. If the end is coming, it'll still be a while yet.
Not to turn this into a book review, but I just started reading the sequel to the Wool series of books by Hugh Howey called First Shift - Legacy, and the concept of purposefully forgetting things is pretty central to the book. Very good reads, both of them.
I'm a little out of verse when it comes to these components, but I'm wondering what kind of memory bandwidth a dual channel Z77 board can use compared to my now old X58 triple channel board? A couple of the reviews suggested that at DDR 1600 they're both tied around 20GB/s, which baffles me. Can anyone explain how that could be? Wouldn't an extra channel of memory give you 50% more speed over dual channel?
Don't forget about the Humble Bundle! Get yourself a few games, donate all the money to Child's Play. They work on all platforms, and are DRM free. They do new bundles throughout the year too, so you can donate year round.
I looked up the range of the Nissan Leaf, they say it can go 62 miles in terrible conditions: 14 degrees F outside, traffic jam, average speed of 15mph (it's most efficient speed is 38mph). That's slightly worse than half their best condition 138 miles: flat roads, 68d F, 38mph constant speed.

If Toyota is playing it safe and reporting their worst condition distance for now, then all is well. If they reported the distance it could go according to the EPA standard "LA4" test, then it might still get 30 miles in worst conditions.
At least Hydrogen could be manufactured where energy was cheap, i.e. near nuclear reactors, solar/wind farms, etc. Although then you have to transport it.
Separate the people using laptops from those who aren't then. And put them in the back, so nobody else has to watch their screen savers/World of Warcraft/Facebook.
That's weird. As an American who just visited Japan, I can tell you I thought their currency felt flimsy, especially compared to a dollar bill. It was tearing with a crease in a bill that I had folded maybe twice. Now I understand why they still use coins like mad, because their coins are awesome. Before I left I was worried I'd have a sack of change in my pocket anytime I went anywhere, and after I was there I was mad when I didn't!
That being said, they did have different lengths for their bills, which I think probably helps the blind. Got us there.
There's a story in one Nintendo Power from ages long past about a kid who lost his GB in the yard once. It got mowed over twice and rained on and still worked fine, although there was a crack in the screen I think. They had a picture of it too. Impressive craftsmanship.
I really hope they have a cure for cyberbrain sclerosis ready, to preemptively stop a "stand-alone" complex. Hopefully one that doesn't use nanomachines.
Maybe the person with the junker will buy a used car that costs them about how much they're being reimbursed by the government for, and then the person who just sold their car will buy a slightly newer used car, then that person will buy a new car? In the end a new car is bought, it just might take a couple sales to get to it.
GP is right though. Foreign is where it's at right now.
They only altered the ID3 tags as far as I know... Which all your MP3s have anyway. You can alter the hell out of ID3 tags and it won't touch the actual music. MP3 files have space at the beginning/end (depending on v2 or v1) of them for all that tagging data so the music isn't fiddled with.
If you look at the ID3 tags in another program, like winamp or foobar2000, all you see is jibberish. It's encoded. I'm sure you could figure it out and do what you suggest if you really wanted to, but that's more work than it's worth really. I'm pretty sure you can just delete the jibberish and there goes any record of who bought it etc, too. But I don't have iTunes so I can't check.
Yeah, they more or less told people who didn't know better which artists were willing to swear and thus the kind of music that they might like in addition to what section of the store it was in. Games already have that. Now we know which games are willing to show blood, body, and language that is representative of the world we live in. It's all in that little label on the front already. This won't change anything except taking up more space on my cool box art.
Why isn't "Warning: the swearing in this CD may cause you to swear" or some other such made up lies on that CD you bought?
Slashdot Mirror
This story was run a month or two back. It's only lasers for the highbeams, and only at high speeds. The regular headlights are normal.
I don't get it. What does a vertical shooter by Tecmo have to do with Star Wars or EA?
Wrong Starforce. He meant the one that destroys your CD drive.

... or CCP port EVE?
Don't know about the others you listed, but EVE runs fine on WINE from what I understand. There's even a section on the official forums for Linux users: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=topics&f=274
Don't count on them making an official executable for it, however.

Because it's actually really beautiful and maybe you should get out of your box and experience the world once in a while?
Now that complaint is just plain irrational.
*whoooosh*
Windy today.
*whoooosh*
Sure you can see it from across the solar system, but only if you're watching... And there's an awful lot of space out there to watch.
How much space do they use above? I'd be worried it would hit my garage door when both are open.

I'm fine with electric cars, though.

Actually, black is bad. It's a golden color if good.

Blizzard's anti-cheat software for WoW is just as deep-scanning as this, if not more so. What's new here?

Yeah. It's 20 cents a text anyway, and I'd bet most of them probably have unlimited texting anyway.

What is that? I've never seen that before...
