THere is not such thing as "PS2 Online Services" unless by that you mean "It has an ethernet port". Sony has made it very clear that each game developer is responsible for developing and maintaining their own system for making their games talk to each other. A previous post hit the nail on the head with the response that Blizzard's reasoning doesn't make sense.
Point well taken. Yes, Photoshop is for professionals. There is Photoshop LE (I don't know if that's still available), and Adobe Photo Album. Picasa 2 is great for quick touch-ups. In fact, for a free app it's surprisingly well-rounded (I prefer it over iPhoto).
While part of me thinks that this is wrong, that games should "just be played", part of me says "Hey, you can hire a coach for everything else. Why not video games?" The problem is now those of us who had found our niche in videogames are being pushed out. Gaming is quickly becoming just another thing that "cool" people do. What will we nerds come up with next?
Ummm...yeah...except that the LOTR trilogy has sold more copies than any other book in history except for the Bible. The Halo series has sold a lot but definitely not that much. In other words, the core demographic for LOTR probably numbers in the hundreds of millions whereas the core demographic for Halo numbers in the several millions (and mostly in the US).
You're not thinking big enough here. What if Google Office or whatever they call it (gOffice, anyone?) saves your files to the same space as your Gmail account? Then they provide you with an interface similar to Gmail's where you can store, search, send, and etc. all your documents. That's what I'm looking forward to (although they'd have to do alot of convincing that my files are actually secure).
Of course it would just flash 12:00 for most people
My Philips VCR (that just died coincidentally) would automatically set the time based on the local PBS station. I haven't had a VCR that flashed 12:00 for about 8 years. Is this really a problem anymore? Or is it one of those things like the record scratch sound that people use to indicate a screw up?
This is as much a failure on the student's part as the TA. When speaking to a non-native speaker, one should know that it is best to use simple sentence structures and simple words (in-field technical words are OK). It is part of the learning process to learn how to choose one's words to fit the audience.
An advanced Engineering or Physics course should not be taught by someone who does not have an advanced grasp of the language in which the subject matter is being taught. If you can't speak the language, you have no business teaching a subject in that language.
BTW, the undergrad school I went to fired a professor partly because no one could understand what the fsck he was saying. Seriously, he couldn't speak English.
Star Trek got the top spot because it's old. That's about it. Frankly, I think the show sucks. Granted, it's good in the way Elvis is good: it isn't but everyone says it is because it's old and genre-defining. Also, anyone remember Starman? I'm not saying it should be in the top 50, but since everyone's listing other sci-fi shows that didn't make the list I figured I'd better do it too.
Also, the editors/writers of that piece need to go back to genre school. Xena is Fantasy. Superheroes are just that. Buffy is in the Horror-Comedy genre. Dark Angel is fiction. That's it.
Well, Blizzard just sucked it up there. Thanks for "delivering timely information to most accurately convey the concern that Blizzard has for its loyal customers".
Honestly, are you really going to be surfin' the interweb on a PSP? Also, Nintendo is introducing a wireless network for the DS sometime in the very near future.
Ds for quality; or the PSP for quanity and internet
More likely: DS for quality, quantity, free wireless network, back-catalog of GBA games; or the PSP for it's wonderful marketing, somewhat small catalog of games that isn't full of fun, new games.
Ah, but I don't have an Xbox. There may be nothing exciting to you about the 360, but I'm excited about its backwards compatibility with many Xbox games, its use of a PPC chip, the fact that said 20GB hard drive is removable and portable (this addresses my biggest complaint about the original Xbox, well after they started shipping with the S controller that is.), it has wireless controllers, it has more processing power than the original, and it will have a new Halo and new Perfect Dark. To each his own.
Personally, I'm more excited about the Nintendo Revolution.
I have small children. Wireless controllers are perfect because when they walk between me and the TV they don't trip over my cables and A) yank the cable out of the console or B) yank the console off the entertainment center.
Apparently, you do not watch much Latin American or European television. There are topless scenes in daytime television, soft-core porn is shown on many public (i.e. non-cable) channels after 10:00pm, and take a look at their game shows (Sabado Gigante has a segment where the audience judges a group of women exclusively on the sexiness of their legs).
I just don't see think your argument holds water (or maybe I misunderstood you...).
Actually, once you do enable root (it's done through NetInfo Manager in the Utilities directory), you can then login using root and whatever password you gave it. No, you can't manage it from the System Preferences, but you can login.
Well, if you go much further north you'll be in Canada. Yellowstone is in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. To the North you have Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada. The hotspot in Yellowstone most likely originated somewhere to the West in present-day Idaho and/or Oregon.
I would personally think that in the business world having someone who understood business as well as technology would be a boon. Perhaps though I've just been brainwashed.
A little of both. The problem I have seen over and over again is that neither the business side nor the tech side will take you seriously. The business folk think you're a computer geek and the computer geeks think you're a stuffed shirt. As another poster pointed out you'll have to work twice as hard to prove to either or both sides that you have what it takes.
I have worked with several graduates of ITT Tech. I wouldn't hire any of them to work for me. I'm not sure if it's just the area or if there are other factors involved, but for the most part these people have been intelligent and hard-working, but unfortunately under-motivated and lacking in critical interpersonal skills.
You'll have a harder time of it, but you can be successful.

in autocad you can type a command to draw a line
Yeah, that sounds real intuitive. CAD programs are not for the amateur and are definitely not meant for photo editing.

Amen! DS9 has got to be the most boring sci-fi I have ever witnessed. Go ahead, Trekkies, mod me down.

Touché.
You have a very limited definition of the word "game". A "game" is not something you win, it's something you play for the sake of entertainment.
From dictionary.com:
"An activity providing entertainment or amusement; a pastime: party games; word games.".
...if Firefox is to be known as the most secure, fastest, bug free browser on the internet then they have to make sure everyone updates.
Uh...don't you have to update in order to have automatic updates? Notice the irony...
I agree wholeheartedly. Innovation is, for the most, dead in the gaming industry.
Well, if you go much further north you'll be in Canada. Yellowstone is in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. To the North you have Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada. The hotspot in Yellowstone most likely originated somewhere to the West in present-day Idaho and/or Oregon.
The only standards the industry has today are in their software.
Could you please clarify? My initial reaction was incredulity. If you provide some actual examples I may not have to provide a rebuttal.
