Someone published a study saying that trees and solar cells absorb more heat than the amount of CO2 saved would absorb. (The study went on to say you should still plant trees because they look pretty...). The Iorny!
With that logic, the Gamecube would have been $250 and the DS $200. Their stratagy isn't "slightly better", it is "new". And, yes, hopefully with a game.
Actually, the (relitively little) studies done have showed that porn and sex dosn't flourish after we see nudity, but because we don't see enough. Those factors are lower in countries where such nudity isn't taboo (mainly European countries), as opposed to where it is illegal or seen as evil.
How about Public Domain?

Public Patents?

Isn't that what Public Domain is? You could just start a website that documents diffrent ideas in patent form. Seeing as you can not patent previous art, no one would be able to patent the idea. This also prevents people from revoking the privlages/rights of the patent.
Nintendo is for Everyone. (Capital-E Period.) Tell me you what your persionality is, and I can refer you to a system and 5-10 games. Casual on-the-go player? DS + MarioKart. Me? I'm a big (Big big) fan of the "Metroid: Prime" series (There's your FPS). You've also got the Mario RPG series, the Super Mario Titles, Sonic Games, Resident Evil Series, Kirby, Legend of Zelda, most all of the sports titles (EA Games), Brain Age, Animal Crossing, The Sims...
I absolutely must comment on the extremely easy no-regristration no-monthly-payments 20-second-setup of the WiFi games. It dosn't suprise me that Nintendo got, in one month, as many players online as it took Xbox Live 22 months!
If you bothered to read the article at all, you would know that this was not an observational study, but a scientific study in which the subjects were required to play a randomly selected game. GTA resulted in the worse-off outcome. That's it, that is all there is.
Laptops WILL be lost/stolen/broken, no matter what you try to do. Give students the option to engrave their names and a phone number (somthing that dosn't change: mabye the lost-and-found dept.) in large, friendly letters on the cover. Provide insurance to users if they don't have it. Giving backup services and CPU power from a central server is a must. This means a large RAID array and blade servers (running Linux, of course). Even if all the above fail, provide short-term use laptops, that can--hpoefully--boot up from the backups previously made.
Also be sure to lay down wireless access points of all sorts. Put a printer attached to the network in in centralized places, probably in every room. Think of every possable problem.
I Love using Remote Desktop on Mac OS X to spy on other computers (If I am right, Windows included), and, to really freak people out, take control of that user's computer. Do it to someone in that room and see their reaction (ONLY if you are good at controlling laughing--you will NEVER be able to do it again once people know it was you). Youv'e got to know that computer's password, though, but most schools have them set to the same thing, or more often nothing at all.
- Built in wireless controllers that can power on/off the system --- On the $$$ consoles only. - Network & local (USB/iPod) media playback, even during games --- No Comment (Your 5.1 system should do this already, though) - Online gameplay with voice chat (built into controller), friends list, friend status (what game are they playing?), etc. built into the system --- For subscribers - Downloadable demos & movies --- If you have a Hard Drive only available on the $$$ systems - Micropayment system for independent games --- No comment (The Credit Card Number AND password, though, is saved in cleartext... Microsoft has never been sensitive to security) - Online objective & scoring system, even for single-player games --- Nintendo does this (Mariokart DS and Animal Crossing DS come to mind... see their site) - Customizable UI --- No comment - HD and 5.1 audio in every game --- An HD and 5.1 FEED is required, many/most games just render it in standard def and scale it. (Even the Gamecube has surrondsound. 5.1 I don't know about, at least 4, though)
PLUS, NO BUILT IN WI-FI! To add insult to injury, the Wi-Fi add-on costs $99!
The Revolution is definitely coming out before at least thanksgiving, and definitely under $300. Why get somthing with fewer but more expensive games that, all on top of that, costs 2-4 times more?
I only develop websites for the very latest browsers. This means Lynx and Safari-- but NOT IE-for-mac or Netscape. Nor do I use ANY browser detection (only feature detection). Anyone using anything less will just need to cross their fingers and hope it works.
The telecommunications companies are regulated by Congress, illegally and unconstitutionally. Communication is speech. Speech is an inherent right all humans share and can not be infringed by any government.
The government can not stop us from saying what we want. Wiretaping is constitutional, if allowed by law. Now the FBI demanding wiretaps without proper leglisation would be unconstitutional - but is that the case?
By the way, terrorists are people who try to get media attention by blowing others up. As far as I know, voting does not hurt others like that.

Spam filtering is peformed by your email service, not your ISP (Even if your ISP provides you with an email address).
When somthing becomes overrated, just mod it down. A (-1 Overrated) usually works.
Yes I know that.
Too bad Slashdot isn't an IM service.
You even post replies like you have one.

If this dosn't work on your processor, nothing does.
That is nothing compared to the Earth's lifespan, or 4.5 billion years.

If there is a reason to run it on the same computer, there shouldn't be a problem. I would recommend a dedicated linux server, though.
Linux?

Really? The DS is outselling the PSP about 3:1.
I hear Nintendogs was a hit.
