All games run on the core system in standard def. Microsoft just gives you options with the 360, none of which are required: HDTV, camera, wireless, HD-DVD, hard drive, Live, etc.
All you have to do is simply note the ticker in one of these spams and check it the next day. I got one Wednesday (MPRG) which had closed at.24. It opened Thursday at.26, went up to.3 around 12:30, and closed at.27. At the moment it is.25. You can look it up on Yahoo. It's interesting to see the trade volumes throughout the day, and it's also obvious when the scammers sold theirs. It doesn't show it now but when I was checking it out there was a time with 500k shares traded while the average is under 10k.
I didn't mean it would be faster because it's a blob, but because it's powering an ATI or nV card. And like I said I understand your buying on principle, but it's going to cost you performance.
Yeah! Damn those blobs, giving you all that performance!!
Y'know, I understand members of the Linux community choosing to buy this on principle, but come on. The Intel graphics are so incredibly far behind nV and ATI that it's ridiculous...unless you're not planning to play ANY recent games. I could see going with ATI over nVidia if they open sourced theirs (or the reverse) but going Intel just for that would be nuts.
Eh, that's more Digg. Yeesh, if someone can come up with an age filter for online comments, they will make billions. Slashdot: come for the story, stay for the comments. Digg: come for many more stories, stay for...don't stay.
That's how I read it to. I thought, duh, no. Then realized it mean anti-malware. Then thought, hell no!! Little thing called "conflict of interest." Kinda like when a TV commercial says that if you are tired during the day you must be diseased and need a magic pill!! Hmmm....
I saw the headline and pictured something like hopping on one foot would skip a song. You're jogging along, bad song comes on, you skip on your right foot once and boom, next song. Jump with both feet and it stops/starts. If it got popular, you'd see joggers doing some weird stuff...especially if they have a lot of crap on their iPod!
After seeing it's just a pedometer, hmmm [runs to the patent office]
Let's pretend you are a director working on a movie and you have an incredible idea for a scene involving CG. It's actually an original idea, so you can't tell your tightwad producers, "oh it's kind of like this movie, but with elements from that movie." To try to get a bigger budget do you...
a) Stand in front of them and attempt to describe in detail what you plan to do b) Spend a week with CG artists to be able to SHOW these producers what you can do with that bigger budget
A quick look in my Games directory shows Doom 3 taking up 1.61 GB and Steam taking up 4.74 GB, which includes HL2, Lost Coast, and the Darwinia demo. I agree having more room would probably be nice to have (mostly for less effort required on the part of developers) but I'm not at all convinced that it will be a problem. Look at the amazing things developers did on N64 with as little as 8MB (Mario 64) and 32MB (Perfect Dark and both Zeldas)!
But then on the other hand...when have multi-disc games been an issue?! It's been happening since PlayStation. I don't see why that would be a problem now.

Thanks. That means a lot.
You seem to hang out here a lot. Maybe you should register.
This allows companies to USE FairPlay so it will be copy-protected but can still play on an iPod. Did you RTFA?

I'm sorry, I just had to point this sentence out:

Many of us at work have port 8090 blocked :-(
However, this works.
Actually, I thought Linux monkeys loved the Xbox! Cheap server, media PC, etc...
And allow me to say:
Weeeeeeeeee!!
Offer your bridge to the patent office, not Real. They'll buy anything!
No..NO!! Say it ain't so!! Actually, I have no idea where the other poster got that from. Didn't have an easy link for that one.

I think I'd pick B, how about you?
You mean like this or this? The former connects to Microsoft Money. I tried both and now use Total Look...obviously I'm not a tin-foil hat type.
