It's all about metrics - just telling you boss is never the way to get things done. Write a report - with real numbers, kind of like a cost/benefit ratio analysis.
I never liked purchasing a video card every 12 months. After my third 200 dollar video card I realized that a gaming console costs relatively the same as a video card and the game lifecycle is much longer. One gaming console every 4-7 years beats one video card per year, not to mention processor/memory/mobo/powersupply/hd upgrades. My TCG is much lower - especially when I only buy a game every 3-4 months.
As a fan of the Fallout story line I found and loaded up my old FOT disks 1-3 and even gamespy and wooops! Only one other person online and they were not playing. I am a fan of the 2K Character Limit as it is more about strategy and not character purely character level. Anyone want to start playing once a month or something?
PEACE!
How about this... don't pay people for their time anymore. Pay them for what they know or for what they do. Performance based incentive is better than straight salary. Get rid of the attitude that I Mr. big shot employer am your boss as long as you are on the clock. Get a new attitude that you can't control peoples lives by the second. This has most likely gone on from the dawn of employment - now thanks to the internet we can track it by the second. PEACE!
No, "THE TERRORISTS" if you believe such a label do not want our government to become more powerful. THEY want to strive on understanding and hope. Governments strive on power alone. Now that that is out of the way we can focus on real matters. Who cares if someone knows the back door math equation to some intel chip or whatever it was. Have you seen the price of gold lately? Information is only good when it can help procure material wealth. No one cares about what happens to unwealthy nations no matter how much information we gather on them... the main two points of my story - when you have everything then you have everything to loose and if you have nothing then you win because they can take nothing away from you. But we must always be mindful of THE TERRORISTS because we like to believe that their value system is some how the same as yours, shallow monetary and largely based on illusion.
No of course not. No penalty is worth it. Next thing you are going to tell me is that we should put someone in jail for stealing the cure for AIDS because they hacked into a competitors secure 'PRIVATE' network and unlawfully stole their intellectual property rights and refused them the right to sell "INFORMATION" to improve life for all of mankind. You are right. Any communist will agree that profiteering is wrong and any company caught trying to procure a profit for the distribution of "RECORDS" or "FILES" of any kind are purely in violation of the communities rights to pay for such information 'such as a free market demands.' I am also so one-sided that I also demand total understanding of my ideas and I reject the view of all others. MY WAY or the HIGH WAY... proletariat.
I took the Computer Hacking Forensics Investigator class from Haja Mohideen the author of the EC-Council books and he is from Singapore and his second (or third) language is English. I agree that the books are a little confusing however when taught by the author they make a lot of sense. Haja knows his stuff and I recommend taking any class taught by him. I am considering the self study guide for the Certified Ethical Hacker cert however I am going to focus on Security+ for now. It is very important that an organization offers hacking classes for security professionals. Consider how little one organization shares with another about their security practices. Now consider how the hacker community shares exploits. Like mentioned earlier by Opportunist (166417) "Knowledge is power" and I think Administrators and security specialists need as much information as possible.
Lets take a look at Faith. The only reason you believe anything in the Bible is because someone told you too (you have faith in the person who taught you about the bible and Christianity.) Just think about it for a second... if you were born on the other side of the world then you might be arguing about how the Koran is the one and only truth. You also make two major assumptions. Evolution = God and Jesus = Bible (no where in the bible does it say - only obey the bible.) I suppose that next you are going to tell me that if God is all powerful or omnipotence, then she is only limited to one religion as well.
I understand where you are going. I guess the point I was trying to make is that whatever you believe - chances are someone else told you to believe it....by extension because God is infallible the writing is infallible. this is only true if you believe that God is infallible because someone told you God is infallible, either way you first must believe a person - unless you come form a spiritual entity with a higher level of understanding (or something to that effect.)
I love my country! Free speech is mostly used to try and stop other people from expressing themselves.
Creationists believe that the book of Genesis is the truth, but where does it say in the bible that the bible is the only truth? Are creationists also saying that God is not powerful enough to have created the earth and everything in it by usingevolution. Evolution is a miracle! Just look at the statistical probability of one species suddenly changing into another, I have no idea what that number is but I was once told that the chances of a tornado passing through a junk yard an leaving behind a fully functional 747 jet, fueled and ready to fly is a walk through a park compared to chances of evolution happening. What would you say if a tornado passed through a junkyard and left behind a 747? Wow, now that is a miracle! Oh and by the way Jesus has dark skin and he farts.
Dont trash your ps1, donate it to me. I am working in Peru and ps1s are still worth 70 dollars or so. Here in Lima there are console cafes (like internet cafes) where people pay one Nuevo Sole or (about 40 cents in US dollars) an hour to play. So please dont throw it away mail it to me and I will find it a good home.
"I truly loved her, but gaming affected that,"
What the hell kind of excuse is this. True love affects other things not the other way around. Sounds like he truly loves gaming and she was affecting that. Oh and by the way MTV blows.
Well you got me on that one. I never owned a ps1 and as far as sequels are concerned I feel like I need to play MGS1 before playing MGS2 and so forth and therefore I never got around to it (kind of like trying to watch the TV series 24 from the second or third episode on.) Looks like my next eBay self Christmas gift will be MGS1 and fortunately thanks to the PS2 backward compatibility I will be able to start the series (only because you are so adamant about it.) As far as the orgasm goes... ah, never mind.
Think bigger. Can you make a better game with more storage? What good is blu-ray going to do for me after it looses to hd-dvd? Is MGS4 worth 400+ dollars for the console and 50+ dollars for the game? If you answered yes or who cares to any of these questions then you obviously need to buy a PS3. However if I buy a blu-ray drive for my pc (when it comes to market) and someone more talented at programming than I comes up with a linux based PS3 emulator - then the answer to your question is yes, please orgasm away.
Perhaps the people who play video games just need more friends(in real time or in real life.) I have to admit that after I saw the propaganda video from Nintendo I have more of a desire to get my hands on one. Remember the old Nintendo Commercials - they showed kids walking around as if they were in the game environments or sometimes they ran into an exploding Nintendo Entertainment System Kiosk http://www.retrojunk.com/details_commercial/50/ . I must agree with the idea that Nintendo is more for friends in the room while psx and xboxs might be more considered for the lone gamer who makes friends online (not that there is anything wrong with that.) However based on the friends factor alone I feel like we are missing the point. 1. Not everyone is rich enough to drop 400 bones on a gaming system. 2. Then you need to buy games at 50 bones a pop. 3. If I want to sit alone in my room for hours on end - its because I am already doing it with my computer. The computer with the mouse keyboard input options offer much more than a console with any type of "joystick". Think Arcade. Think Friends in the same room. Think the reason that games became popular in the first place - to have a good time with your friends (solitaire is one of the few exceptions I can think about for the moment.)
The difference is that the Virtual boy was limited to 3d only experiences. The Revolution will have a much broader scope. The success of Nintendo as with all consoles will depend on sales. And sales depend on great games being programmed! I look forward to a different level of game play in my home. Did you ever play Rampart with a trackball! Revolutionary!!!!!
I am in Peru and I can get 1up just fine. lima 213.140.51.x
miami 4.79.100.x
atlanta 64.159.1.x

and the last one i could see was 63.87.234.89, good luck
PlayStation3 - does the same thing as my computer.
Xbox 360 - does the same thing as my computer.
Nintendo Revolution - Gives me the opportunity to get away from my desk and sit back on the couch or play games with some friends who are in the same room as myself(without breaking the bank.) I remember when I was teaching my Mom how to play Super Mario Brothers for the NES 12 years or so ago... No Mom! Just push the buttons, violently jerking the controller up in the air will not make you jump any higher. Ahhhh, memories.
I am with you. Why buy a console that can do what my computer can already do.
I am going to wait for the Nintendo Revolution. For me the whole idea of a gaming system or console is to get away from my desk and relax. Also my fondest memories are from playing games with my friends (on past nintendo systems.)
Also I find my self less willing start playing very deep and involving games(mostly because I dont have the extra 20+ hours a week.)
Give me arcade fun, give me a Revolution

How about $5 off coupons for 15 million people, that way people can pay about $5 per movie - about what they are worth.

We are backing up anywhere from 500 meg to 2 gig of data.
