The funny thing is that Cutco knives are actually pretty decent quality from what I've seen of them. They aren't the best, but they are better than the average set of knives you'd by at Wal*Mart. I'm not sure why they have to resort to such weird methods of selling them, since I think the product is decent enough to sell the way anyone else sells knives.
My opinion is that Tales of Symphonia is probably the best console RPG that has come out stateside during "this generation." Final Fantasy is simply not what it used to be. No matter how awesome the graphics, CG cinematics, etc. are, the newer FF games simply aren't as fun to play as 4-6.
Yes, the N64 controller sucked! It sucked so much that Sony and Sega rushed to copy the analogue stick and force-feedback ideas that the N64 controller introduced.
World of Warcraft is simply the most popular MMORPG right now. This same article could have been written about Everquest 1 a few years ago.
EQ arguably sucked even more time than WoW, and other PC games were still sold. There are many gamers who don't like the MMO thing and will continue to buy other games and consoles.
Eventually, someone will make a WoW-killer in the MMORPG arena. It may take a few years, but it'll happen.
I'm looking forward to grinding hours upon hours in raid instances to collect my full epic "Nike Sports Outfit" set, which has better stat bonuses, set bonuses, and armor than any other set in the game (and it'll make me look just like my favorite pro atheletes!)
Hmn. Actually, I believe that you may be right. I thought I recalled seeing an article claiming it may be delayed, but I can't recall the source now.
At any rate, I do know that Microsoft is planning on backporting Avalon to XP and Server 2003, so even if I'm wrong and it comes out on time, it will also be available to XP users, which makes the upgrade to Longhorn less necessary.
Last summer, I received a letter from the University I attended. They said that a computer system containing records for just about all current and former students had been compromised, and that it was possible our personal information (including SSN, etc.) had been stolen.
There are certainly shortcomings in CSS, in my opinion, but CSS does a pretty good job when the browser supports it properly. Opera and Mozilla/Firefox currently seem to do an excellent job of supporting CSS.
The only reason Microsoft doesn't support CSS properly is that they don't OWN it. MSIE supporting CSS properly would be a massive step towards web interoperability, which is definately against what MS wants.

The kid missed a huge opportunity. He should have sued for copyright infringement instead, and then marketed himself as the next Chris Farley.
but if it feels like you are on the deck of the enteprise while doing Excel spreadsheets you might feel better about coming into work on time.
So basically it'll make you feel like Wesley?
(Apologies to Wil in advance)
Oh, and may I add that in many areas, your telco/broadband provider is a government enforced monopoly.
Most of the pipes were heavily subsidized by the government with our tax dollars.
I'm amazed to see that these guys are still in business after years of vaporware.
I don't care how you watch the movies. Han still shot first!

Quantum-Link also owned the PC-Link service before it all became AOL.

Instead of watching your favorite atheletes win the Gold at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, come down to my bar for a drink!

So, of the major features that were originally supposed to be the selling point in Longhorn...
WinFS pretty much seems indefinately stalled.
Avalon seems to be delayed until after release.
The new shell will not be available until the Server release.
But the crippling DRM feature that requires me to have an MPAA approved monitor to get "premium" video quality is right on schedule.
Try $100K. The people who are displaced almost always get totally shafted when their land is taken away through eminant domain laws.
Not to mention the fact that people can barely drive the cars that don't fly.
I hope that these aren't legit plot ideas, they make Jar Jar Binks look like Shakespeare.
It is well known that Lewis put obvious Christian allegories into the Narnia books. He didn't try to hide the fact.
I fail to see how this manipulates the reader.
Your statement would be insightful except for the fact that Nintendo is a profitable company.
Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel.
Does it shoot fricken' lasers? Otherwise I'm not interested
1. Retailers are liable for rebates.
2. More people send in rebates than commonly thought.
3. People hate them.
So this being the case, the two biggest reasons for Best Buy to offer the rebates aren't very huge.

This is obviously not a unique situation.
