There are atleast two games in my collection right now for PS2 that are double disk, and I'm sure there are more that I don't own. These games don't cost any more than normal ones, so if you have a good reason to make them dual disk other than one of the disks being filled I'd love to hear it.

THe hotels I've been to have a handy peice of plastic guarding the back which is easily defeated by a "harsh prying" with a "security screwdriver". Soul Calibur tournament here I come.
Just saying, apparently someone thinks the business model you thought was so funny was a good idea.
But since you ask, yes, it is working. Most of the new consoles that fail fail because they never get a market share. They never have an audience. Xbox may not be profitable, but it has opened the door for Microsoft to compete with in the next gen console wars.
You're right, the Inspirions are P4, something I should have remembered after commenting so many times in threads about Dell possibly offering AMDs and the ongoing anti-trust suit. I will claim I was drunk.
My point would be that the models do exist, and if a reviewer wants to be reputable they shouldn't declare one side the winner if the other side never showed up to the game, whether that be because they all failed the drug test or because the other team took the bus drivers kids hostage and told him to drive in the other direction.
Alienware might not be on your list of "corperate" (even if they are sold at Best-Buy) but they are on the list of "high performance."
Dell and Compaq may not be on that list, but they certainly should be.
Both makers, along with numerous smaller mail order manufacturers produce good AMD Athlon and Mobile Athlon laptops. Don't tell me no one's working on the project.
Dick Cheney was responcible more directly than Bush Sr, but I avoided mentioning that because it would bring the conspiricy theorists out of the woodwork faster than you can say tinfoil hat. I paraphrased the express reason listed, say what you will about alterior motives. I find it understandable that in todays world of ultra highspeed communication familes would prefere to get the remains of their loved ones returned before they have to watch their son or daughters casket being unloaded in Dover England. In Vietnam how fast was communication that video and pictures could beat a body home by days? By weeks? Imagine how the parents of the army ranger being dragged through the streets of Somalia felt if that's the first they had heard of their son? Say what you will about propaganda wars, I agree with the practice.
The idea that this keeps the pentagon from being held accountable is laughable. Every paper in America lists death counts, most on a daily basis. Every nation news program tells us every night about raodside bombings and insurgent attacks. If that's the government keeping us in the dark I'd love to see what the media did with a little freedom, maybe something like Rotten.com nightly?
My argument isn't support the troops, my argument is that even if you think they're fighting for an insideous web of lies, they might not feel the same. There are probably plenty of soldiers in Iraq right now who think it's a bullshit, sweaty assignemnt, and are just waiting to go home. There are plenty more who think they are doing America and the world a service in extending democracy to a former dictatorship. The Pentagon may be manipulative by nature, but it's shallow to write off everyone as a drone controlled by some evil overlord.
And yes, my friend got fucked pretty hard, as did many, many, Americans in Vietnam. My point was only his thinking, not his circumstance.
Nope.
SATA is nice, but all mobos still suppport IDE, and most new ones support both.
PCI-X is here, but PCI and AGP is still more common and has been around for ever.
Just because new technologies exist doesn't mean that they're the defacto standard and the only choice, don't be a drama queen.
Beyond just the ability to upgrade, the other reason that seperate components for PCs have become so popular is that these days if you fry a mobo it's nice to only have to shell out $130 for that and not $130 for a mobo plus the cost of a new processor. Usually processors don't fry, but I know a lot of people who have killed boards.
I bothered to look it up now that works over.
The law was enacted in 1991 and forbids photographing the caskets out of respect to the families of the soldiers who have died and who may not wish their loved ones to be photographed by anybody with a camera.
I would disagree about the Pentagon forever hating the death tolls. In WWII families displayed their blue and gold stars which obviously made the human toll of war hit very close to home. A human toll far greater than the pile of bodybags collecte din Vietnam.
Say what you will about the poor way many things were conducted during the Vietnam war, but there are many who fought and died in the belief that freedom and democracy were on the table in Vietnam. You can sit online and tell me it was a pack of lies and deception, but you try telling that to my Laotion coworker who had to flee South-East Asia after the war for being on the losing side. Although there are plenty who did, he didn't give up his home for the Pentagon's money or their agenda.
As I replied above at greater length I know cars can do it. I want to see you do it. In reply to the poster that said how dreadfully inefficent internal combustion engines are. They certainly beat the heck out of human labor.
There are a lot of cars that get more than 20mpg, I drive two of them, I was aiming for the low end so that a person would have a chance of doing it themselves. My point being that you can bash the ineffciency of internal combustion engines all you want, they're still doing better than you would with a human under the hood.
Not allowing the bodies of American soldiers to be televised or even photographed by the general public has been a federal law since as far back as WWII(?) At least that's what the paper told me.
Actually, the paramount staple of American beliefs is freedom. You have the freedom to disagree, the freedom to disent, the freedom to speak out against what you beleive is wrong.
And here you are doing it! With bold letters and slogans! Yay for America, which protects your right to hate it.
As has been stated, noncompetition contracts are pretty standard in a lot of feilds and are perfectly valid and generally well thought out.
While I worked at Target I was forbidden from working at another retail store in direct competition with Target, ie: Shopko, Wal-Mart, K-Mart etc. Given that employees recieve advanced notice of sales and product changes I can see why the business wouldn't want to pay you to tell their competitors what they're doing.
Currently I work for an electronic assets management company handing data destruction and electronics recycling and refurbishing. Their noncompete basically states that for 180 days after leaving I wont start a business that does the exact same thing in direct competition with the one I work for now. This also makes perfect sense, they have done a lot of work to figure out effective organization and management and to grow their organization, why should I be allowed to take their years of work, slap my name on it, and try to run them out of business?
Furthermore, I accidently posted this as a reply to different tangent and will now look like a moron for all to see.

It's my freshman year of college again, and someone who just watched the Matrix is trying to look like the most enlightened philosopher in the world to impress drunk girls. Oh, and roll in a healthy dose of Marxist rhetoric, some rather shady connections (remember people, slacking and terrorism are two sides of the same card) and you've got a recipe for an insightful Slashdot post.
Einstien was also clearly of the opinion that the use of atomic bombs would be problematic much the way that dynamite had been in Europe.
Neither ended war, but nuclear weapons have hardly served to make the war more brutal and bloody than it was before, or reduced us to sticks and stone as Einstien thought.
Thomas Jefferson didn't support a standing army.
Andrew Jackson tried his hardest to destroy the National Bank.
Abraham Lincoln was not an abolitionist.
It's easy to go back in time and find people who dissent, people in power who you would think should have some say, but history still played out as it did. Were these people, or the scientists who didn't support using the bomb wrong? We'll never know, but that doesn't mean they're right.
Or maybe, just maybe, and I may be going out on a limb here: Many American beleive that we did the right thing. It's not easy to say that whiping two cities off the map in a heartbeat is the "right thing" but they beleive that at that time, in that situation, it was a better solution.
America glosses over many things. Little time is spent in our history books discussing much of the horrors against the native population, or the terrible condition inside of Japanese internement camps and so on. On the other hand, all of these thing are mentioned, maybe not at the length they deserve but no one is hiding the truth, unlike certain governments who try to tell their people that WWII was all the fault of the greed imperialist Americans and their terrible sanctions .

And due to decreased circulation of money by means of seemingly arbitrary spending, their economy collapsed .
