I love the color blue, yet I have to agree with you. My friend has speakers with a blue LED light on them that is so bight. The speakers are next to the monitor so this light is shining right in your eyes and it's just annoying.
It seems like you're pretty hung up on this. Why does it matter if it's considered a planet or not; it's still flying around in our solar system either way. Whether it's a planet or not seems to be an arbitrary thing.
I would prefer paying $400 with no monthly fee for World of Warcraft instead of $40 with a $13 monthly fee. Why? Because in the two and a half years that it has been out, you've accumulated a price of $40 + $13*30 = $420 and we all know it won't end there.
Well this may be true you're potentially not buying other games if you're still playing the first one you bought 2 1/2 years go. What if you bought WoW and got sick of it after 4 months. Now you'ved shelled out $100 a month. One thing they could do however is get rid of that $50 up front fee and just let you pay the $13/month fee. If you like the game they'll make the money of you you eventually and that will more than make up for the production costs the $50 was supposed to cover.
I like what Iwata is saying though. Blizzard has been successfull with this with Starcraft, Diablo 2, and Warcraft 3. Guildwars through NCsoft has also been successful with this as well, but they all however had expansion pacts come out for their games. Sure it's not a monthly fee, but still thats $50 more every time an expansion comes out.
I'm not sure of how Nintendo is going to fraw the cost of keeping up with patches and new content, but I hope they're successful.
When is someone going to make a chapter based RPG like this again. I loved how you played as different characters in the first 4 chapters, and then as the hero in the 5th chapter as you met all the other characters from the first 4 chapters and teamed up with them. Amazing concept.
Michael Johnson and Jason Porritt's are my favorites, but they each have their own esthetic flaws in my eyes.
At first Michael Johnson's caught my eye. I liked the flow of it the best. It's missing the menu drop downs the other ones have though. Additionally it has a minor positioning issue with the search box. The slash on the top looks nice, but seems a little over done.
Jason Porritt is a very slim lined site. His drop shadow on the posts is a little bit overwhelming though. The bottoms of his posts are a little too boxy, if that faded away more like Michaels does than his would be the best hands down.
Peter Lada's is just too boxy, but great idea for the drop down menus.
All of them are missing the icons on the top. Michaels is the only one that has room for this to be added, unless the icons are about half size they won't fit in the other two templates. Does anyone care that they're missing though?
In the end I vote Jason Porritt, but hope the drop shadow is lessened and the bottoms of the comment boxes fade away.
I could only see this working if you got a fraction of the profits when another customer used your copy/bandwidth to DL the movie. If that was the case and you had enough people DL it from you, you now effectively get the movie for free.
Don't worry about having time NOW. Knowing Blizzard they'll set a release date and then 2 years later it'll come out. It will be high quality, but don't expect it any time soon.
I use Opera and all I have to do is hit "-" or "+" and it scales the whole site, images and text alike. I've never had a problem with this feature. IE and Firefox I believe just scale text size, don't quote me on that though.
Are you saying we should be smart enough, by now, to not post the wrongs we do online, but not smart enough to just flat out not do them offline?
What is there to get upset with MySpace for. MySpace just gives us a place to communicate. Blogs, e-mail systems, instant messengers, etc, all do the same thing on their own level. There is nothing wrong with MySpace. To me there is nothing wrong with allowing people to communicate.
People are sinful. We're all going to do stupid things, wrong things, and irrational things. Are you upset with MySpace because now you can see what people are doing now, instead of being ignorant of it? I'd really like to know what people have against MySpace. Would anyone please share this information with me?
I'm not defending him or convicting him, but just because a person is against patents, doesn't mean they're against compensation for their own work.
A great reason to be against patents is when they squelch innovation, but if we could all be creative and something we create takes off I'm sure we'd all want some sort of compensation. Be that compensation material wealth, recognition, or simply the joy that what we made is helping others, it doesn't matter, we all probably want some compensation.

It seems to be much more economical to simply play games on a console
You must not have seen the estimated cost of the PS3.
to see the results!
1.) It looks a rip off of the Mac OS again
2.) Miscrosoft is making it
Agreed. I'm sure a new game would have the processing power so we could control all of them. If not we'd have better AI in the uncontrolled one.

Yeah, because well all know mirrors do that.

Care to wager on that 'fact'. If so, I bet you $10,000 they don't.

With that said, same for when I have a daughter.

You could always trade your dealer in other things that aren't cash, and then you're still not being traced.
You should say "solo" porn star, being that the typical /. reader doesn't have a counterpart.
