Year 2032: San Angeles State Court decrees that the United Kingdom is acting in contravention of US law by allowing online gambling. Two months later, the United States declares war on United Kingdom.
Year 2033: President Tony Blair surrenders to President George W. Bush III and apologises profusely. The United Kingdom is dissolved and is now a province of the United States of America.

As long as Microsoft's turnabout for DRM inclusion is matched by the crafty hackers turnabout for DRM exclusion, the world is safe.
Uhh... if you're left handed, then the Nintendo DS' Start and Select buttons are within reach of your left hand. I'm ambidextrous, and I think trying to press Start/Select with the right hand is just silly. I think all of the games which play with the screens portrait style (Brain Training... that's about all I can think of) have options for flipping between left and right handed touchscreen styles.
Based on your criteria, I don't believe Vista RC1 is really an RC.
Brand new hardware that passes memtest86+ and the lowest level drive diagnostics results in Blue Screens a'plenty. The same hardware works great with XP SP2 and
Linux.
In fact, I even had a blue screen while
installing RC1. Pre RC1 and RC1 both BSOD for me after 6 to 8 hours of idle time. Neither one work with my DVI plug-n-play monitor. Vista itself won't let
you install Virtual PC 2004 SP 1 (VMWare Server installs and works just fine BTW). Nero 6.x crashes immediately. Installing my preferred antivirus solution (AVG)
results in a BSOD. Windows Media Player experiences video corruption when it is put into full screen mode. WMP will, just for grins, hose up the entire desktop
every third or fourth time. Usability on WMP 11 is awful (after 3 tries I still have to hunt to find the "import all this music to my collection" dialog). Font rendering looks awful even with ClearType completely tuned.
Based on that post, I'd say it sounds pretty much complete.
Small bugs can be patched post-release, companies that produce commercial software do not have the luxury of coding until it's perfect like OSS projects do.
I thought that 'small bugs [being] patched post-release' counts as continuation of coding cycles, and that there were commercial OSS projects.
(My captcha for this post was, 'discuss', aptly enough.)
Nintendo doesn't look away. They made it more difficult to run homebrew code on the iQue DS and the DS Lite. (And more difficult to flash the DS Lite's firmware without causing some hard-to-reverse damage)
Kind of reminds of that guy from that sketch show... (The Fast Show... Harry Enfield?)
Woman sitting at table, uneasy Sound of key entering door Woman:"Did you manage to get that milk and my medication?" Man comes in, grinning Man:"Even better than that!..."
When all is said and done, $60 for about 14 hours of expansion packs amounts to a very fair price - especially since each of the 3 episodes are designed with mega intensity in mind!

That's mouse. Mouse!
Scrollbars a problem?
Just get used to it, jeez!
How could such a happy cat kill himself, eh? =^_^=

Aw, c'mon. You've never played the 'Space Quest' games? :)
There's nothing to stop your university from linking to mid-edit pages like this (the first edit I did to Blinx) that it finds particularly groovy.
Can't you do this yourself with the Google API?
Don't mention the war! I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it. [/fawlty]
Wotcher, btw. ^_^ I'm 'MrD' on gbadev.
I already lost the stick, it's a real bitch to play Kirby's Canvas Curse without it. :/
Ignore the parent: as usual, they're being a real pantload.
Here's a couple more: * Support SD and CF media. (without adapters) * Make a port of SDL.

It's alright. They told you what the acronym stood for, but not what it does or why it was charged for in the first place.
I already have a doctorate, it's from the PR3SITIGOUS MIT OF TECHNOLOGY ONLINE. It only cost me $250! Bargain!
My next thesis:
"A Contemporary Study of The Effects of the Application of Sensationalist Material into Specialist Media Channels"

I'm afraid I don't agree with you there.
