WWGS? Is that anything like WWJD? All kidding aside, when I search Google for my name, I get a mixed set of results. One part shows my Lego models that I've published, and the other link to pages about a Broadway musical director who shares both my first and last name.
I wonder if any employers will hire me because they think I was an ex-musical director...
Or what if credit card companies and online-payment system stopped accepting adult orders from anything other than.xxx domains?
Yeah, because the credit card companies and online-payment systems are really going to care what their clients are spending money on, and where.
"We're sorry Mr. Johnson, but we're going to have to suspend your credit card; you bought porn from the wrong site."
Uh huh, I'm sure that credit-card operators are really going to be saying this to clients. Oh, and in case you couldn't tell, I wasn't being sarcastic at all. Not one bit.
The picture you posted makes it look like the screen is more on the side of this wrist than the top or the bottom. As a tall, lanky geek, this worries me some; What if my wrist isn't thick enough to wear it?
Am I the only one who read the title to this article and though this would be about space and tech support? I was thoroughly dissapointed when it turned out to be just about Bono having to call someone to plug in an X-Box...
If the booth babes are representing DOA, fine. The DOA games feature nearly nude women, so why shouldn't their booth?
I see your point about the 'average gamer' wanting a woman, be she naked or not, to tell them to play games, and I guess I agree with it. But they really shouldn't be at E3. You say that the average gamer is a teen boy, which is probably true, and that said average teen boy gamer would love to split his time between an attractive model and an xbox360. As true as that may be for some teens (myself, I'm 16 and a gamer, and while I do enjoy looking at attractive women (what guy wouldn't?) I wouldn't want one advertising a game she probably doesn't know anything about. Sell me the game with the actual game, gameplay, graphics, entertainment value, not an attractive woman who has nothing to do with it), it shouldn't matter at E3. Are teens allowed into E3? Last time I checked, they weren't, so why cater to them at an expo they aren't allowed into?
No Scantily Clad women, Next they'll want to do away with violence, crates, exploding barrells, and coin & jewel powerups. Where will it end?
I didn't see anything in the article about censoring games, just censoring booth-babes, who usually have little to do with the game. Do we really need a naked woman to tell us to play CoD2? I don't think so.
I know you're joking, but what's wrong with global stories? So you don't live there, and it doesn't concern you, but someone lives there, and it for sure concerns them, and given the large amount of users on Slashdot, some of them probably live there too. If you don't like it, don't read it.
Yes, I can't fill 1 TB because I burn what I don't immediately need to DVDs.
But if you were to think about it for a bit, you can, and do, use more than 1 TB. Sure, you may burn it to DVDs so the hard drive isn't full, but with a large drive (1 TB or more), you wouldn't have to burn things to DVDs like that, you'd be able to keep them on the hard drive. Filling up 1 TB on a hard drive or on DVDs is still filling up 1 TB, regardless of where it's kept.
Why is it that every time I see an article about Nintendo's future, the Virtual Boy is mentioned, and someone throws out the argument "They failed with that, so they can fail with this too!". Yeah, they failed on one system, they failed badly. But look at all their other successes.
Microsoft failed with Windows, but everyone's flocking to the X-box and the X-box360, right?;)
But seriously, think about it. One failed technology does not mean all new technologies will fail. With that attitude, the world will never innovate, and we'll be stuck with the same boring crap forever.
Well, you know what, you are right. I just watched that scene, he does say "No, I am your father,". Guess I was wrong, sorry about that.
Moving along now.
If it worked with Windows, Office, Photoshop, or anyother computer application got away with internet verification because computers are usually connected to the internet.
I see reason to connect my computer to the internet. I don't see reason to connect my DVD player to the internet. Do you?

Wow, don't you wish you had his job.

Actually, that's wrong too. The line was "No, Luke, I am your father," with emphasis on the 'I'.
