No worries. When I was younger it seemed like theaters didnt really care. Perhaps it was the teenager in the box office.
These days I regularly see young kids with their parents watching R rated movies. I hope that they talk and discuss the film afterwards. But who knows.
I see your logic. Perhaps this is supposed to usher in Longhorn as well. I mean when Longhorn gets here of course. Its ok to be a little early to the party isn't it?
Yeah, well guess what? If you have an xbox (if) then you can play hl2 too! It'll apparently look pretty pretty damn close to the pc version. Who'd thunkit.

from the article(emphasis mine): Today ATI is announcing their first 512MB graphics card - the Radeon X800 XL 512MB. Priced at $449, ATI's Radeon X800 XL 512MB is identical in every aspect to the X800 XL, with the obvious exception of its on-board memory size. The X800 XL 512MB is outfitted with twice as many memory devices as the 256MB version,but ATI is indicating that there's no drop in performance despite the increase in memory devices.
Hm...
Well, I think the bus speeds on the g5s are a bit faster. The processors are faster too, oh and there're two of them. So I wouldn't say that an imac overpowers a g5.
But I see your point. Unless you're doing tons of video or something that requires you wring out every bit of computer power then you're probably ok with an imac or less.
It seems at times that their articles aren't proofed, that they have no editors, that the person writing the article has no clue about the subject matter and didnt bother to do a search on it, or all of the above. I'm generalizing of course, but most of the time I'm wondering if anyone goes over that shit before they hit the publish button? That's fine on slashdot but annoying as hell on a site like IGN that charges for premiums and throws up interstitial(sp) fucking advertising.
On the other hand it is a nice place to get previews and screenshots and pics of booth babes (if you're into looking at women who are paid to be nice, to people like you).
I see your case. But there were tons of people who bought the original gameboy just for tetris. (and if the ipod were so easy to kill, then why hasnt it? In time I guess anything is possible)
As far as devices and gadgets go, I prefer something that only does one thing well, like the ipod (arguably) or whatever, than something that does a ton of stuff ok. I don't like the idea of my phone/camera/music thing not being able to play music when I want it to because I had to field a couple of long business call or find out later that I can't shoot a pic of the accident after someone rearends me because... I was on the phone --but if I were on the phone then I'd probably deserve the damn accident.
If I'm getting a phone, I just want a simple phone does its duty as a phone real well. I don't want something that does everything ok, or is marred by shitty battery life because its got all these things running at the same time, so please stop tacking on shit unless you can make sure everything work great.
If this thing does everything in its feature set well, and has great battery life... shit sign me up.
Parent should be happy that s/he (most likely a he) has a job and shouldn't be worried about having to continue to do so. Otherwise said person should explore and perhaps delve into other fields of employment. I hear that they're hiring rodeo clowns.

Flash wasn't born there, it started life as Future Splash Animator (in the mid to late 90's). Neither was Freehand which started life at Aldus.

For no apparent reason? Arent folks who look good, sometimes get paid to be models? Folks who sing and dance, don't we pay them too?
Maybe you meant:Some unknown talentless girl/guy in the special will eventually rise to stardom for no apparent reason, being totally annoying and not being able to sing or dance.
Heard of it, didnt really bother everything worked fine. I'm not saying that there may not be any problems or that Steam is great, just that it hasnt given me any problems so far.
Save the gamer's legs? Sounds good to me! Sign me up! I'll stop yelling now! That way I can preserve energy and continue to work on my thinning layer of flubber that needs to be built up in time for winter '06.

Wow, really? Thanks ATI.
TigerDirect, an on-line retailer of computer parts and accessories
When I was browsing the article I thought it said "TigerDirect, a one-time retailer of computer parts and accessories." oh well.
Peace out!
Um... for what? Leaking um.. nothing?
Let's hang him!

I'm not surprised.

I don't know man, DC CAB... That was pretty watchable. Not good in the traditional sense of the work but damn amusing nonetheless.
Yay!
'comes','waving' 'penis' 'left, right and center'. and 'lap it up'
Wait! Damn it! My speed reading sk!llz arent quite up to snuff yet.
Playing mp3's "well enough" is trivial,
Not if I have to keep an eye on the battery life, or else my phone wont work.
I guess that that should be fixed anyday now. Ping me when that happens.
Maybe, but that will only last until you foolishly go back and wathch the first two movies again.

Entirely too trivial? Where have you been the last couple of years. Did I just wake up in bizarro world or something?

Will this be anything like or as successful as their Gameboy killer?
I've seen nicer ones. Where's Longhorn?

The one shot of anything remotely Longhorn looks difficult to quickly scan (see left bar, or even the center area) http://www.winsupersite.com/images/reviews/lh5048
I understand that this is a beta and all, but why even bother releasing those shots.
Agreed.

Just to clarify. By 'not invented there,' I meant Flash and Freehand aren't originally from Macromedia.
