Want customized, user created maps on a console? Get Timesplitters: Future Perfect. The series has always had a mapmaker. Since FP is online, people can now upload and download user created maps. They may not be as nice as some professional maps, but a lot of them are really fun. Plus, the host can choose a custom map and other players temporarily download it, which goes fast since the filesizes are small.
There are also other console games coming out with mapmakers. I think we are seing the begining of user created content in console games, more and more future games will allow users to create their own content.
Despite all the talk about how all DRM can be broken, windows media drm doesn't seem to be cracked. What does Microsoft's DRM have that Apple's doesn't? There are stories about WM10 DRM being cracked, but I've seen no proof.
Yahoo games has Literati, which is like Scrabble but with a different name. I haven't seen this e-scrabble site, but I'm sure changing the name would also work for them.
I think it's simpler to plug in a usb drive than to access a webpage. For working on word documents especially. Also, you can't do much if everything is on a webpage and you can't acess it, due to a bad dns server, router, or down internet connection.
By Xbox Live 2.0, I assume the author means xbox live for the next xbox. The current one has already reached Live 2.0. Anyway, notice the setting to allow or disallow user created content in your account settings? A version of dance dance revolution allows users to create their own dance steps for the songs. Timesplitters: Future Perfect (almost here, yay) allows players to download custom made maps from others.
IM's certainly get sent through AOL servers unless you establish a direct connection. File transfers can go through their server also, check out the firewall settings under file transfer and you see an option for AOL proxy server. With the default settings, if both parties are NATed, their proxy server is used.
Were these presentations in 1.1 or 1.9/2.0? I don't recall having crashing problems with 1.1, which is why I switched back to it after 2 crashed too much. And yes, I was editing a powerpoint file, as I said. I was trying to put song lyrics in slides. (I was trying to get them in two columns, which seems impossible using one text box.) Inserting then deleting a spreadsheet pretty much always made it crash. And I believe it crashed randomly sometimes also.
This whole suit is rather unstable , but of course it is a beta/alpha/whatever. Writer is fine, but Impress kept on crashing on me. I eventually had to go back to 1.1 for editing the powerpoint file I was working on. I haven't tried any of the other programs in this suit.
This thread states that Microsoft is using older motherboards in their new xboxes. People theorize that it's either because the old boards are cheaper or because they're using leftover parts or something like that.
I like Nintendo. I like a lot of their games. But I also like xbox. I am probably going to get an xbox 2, hopefully I'll have enough money for even then. Mainly for Halo 3 and xbox live. Unless the "Revolution" is truely revolutionary, I probably won't get it. I want to play Nintendo games, but I can't blow all my money.
"The Tokyo-based VA Linux Systems and Nanjing, China-based Sun Wah Linux plan to promote and jointly develop Debian's Linux OS for Chinese and Japanese markets."
Will the vast majority of code still be directly from Debian? Are they going to sell it as Debian or something else? Not saying any of this is necessarily bad.
It used to offer SNES games I believe, but not anymore. Now the only games it has are for the PC. And more CDs are the educational kind. A nice thing about the library system, at least in Michigan, is the ability to have them bring books from, I believe, any library in the LP to your library. Do all libraries have this? There are games like Age of Empires and Sim City. My library has Need for Speed Underground.
Hopefully on their site in a high res quicktime files. They might make it Hyperspace exclusive like the teaser. Hopefully it will be on AOL's site also, with no security if one has the link, like with the high res teaser.
I see they finally added it to auto update. Did they just do that today? I wonder if this and adding the update to auto update had anything to do with each other.
I'd rather bet that it is the judge who is confused about the technical evidence. Although 9 years in jail does seem pretty harsh, especially considering she was just the accomplice. Jeremy Jaynes convictions was held, prooving that the Judge isn't being blackmailed. I know you're joking, but we really do need to watch the judges sometimes.
Caller ID doesn't guarentee who it says is using the phone. Some people share cell phones, but it would be more applicable with home phones. Also, cell phone calls don't usually have caller ID, do they? When I get a call at home from a cell phone, it just says: "Cellular Call". But it would be a lot easier turning on caller ID for all cell phone than implementing a face recognition system. And you wouldn't be able to take very many calls since people wouldn't want to take a picture of themselves to call you.
You'd have us give up our rights to free speech so we wouldn't see "trash" on TV? We'd have to do that in order to block things on cable/satellite/etc. Also, I think the greater trash on TV is commercials anyway. It's much less obvious that they're changing our culture in ways that go beyond sex, violence, and filthy language.

Uhh...I don't understand you. Future Perfect is for xbox, which is the version I own.
Blogs are personal. I got a xanga because my friends had xangas.

Actually, you also lose all other paid download content if you have to get a new xbox. It's not just Halo 2.
"Integrated message boards (Yahoo Groups)" In case you haven't noticed, http://groups.google.com has that. Both USENET and boards specific to google.

Unfortunentally, it doesn't bypass netnanny. I could probably set up a proxy and configure firefox to use it though. (Not possible in restricted IE)

Check out Brick Films at Archive.org and their official site. Haven't watched any of these yet, but they look interesting.

I thought one of the big things in 2.0 is supposed to be the use of native widgets.

I'd sure hope video cards would be able to run Marathon for 12 hours. I mean, it was made in 1992.
