But you are forgetting that the PS3 has Six-Axis controllers!
You'll get to play the game holding the controller level and then get to flick it around. I'm sure it will be used with great results if any of the previous PS3 games are any measure.
/. should just copy Sony and not make the achievements retroactive like they do when PS3 trophies are patched in. That way all of the UID achievements would be impossible.
Its a very wide spectrum. I know very few people who modded their Xbox 360s, because if they get caught MSFT disables them from playing online - a pretty severe punishment.
Not that big of a deal since the ban only bans the console and not the account. You can replace it now for $200. I'd say the biggest drawback to modding a 360 is the fact that you have to void your warranty by breaking the seal and opening the box. Then again, now it is only a $200 cost to replace.
Pirate 4 games and you've already more than covered the cost of getting banned or a RROD failure. Also, who cares about being online in single player games such as Fallout3, Mass Effect, Bioshock...?
This is a great example of what can be done with the level editor, but is anyone going to actually confuse it with the real thing?

This game has barely been released and we are getting stuff of pretty high quality. I can't wait to see what happens in the next few months.
I'm still using an IC7 (dash nothing) and it has been working very well until the last few months with a minor issue. This is the longest that I've ever used the same PC (five years). I disconnected the motherboard fan due to noise within the first year and never had any problems.
Now the only issue that I have is that I have to hold its hand while rebooting. It often freezes at the initiation screen. Simply resetting it gets it to properly boot. Before that I only used Abit boards and built about 25 PCs back in the day and used mostly Abit on those and any time that I used something else I had stability issues.
As far as my employment as a design engineer at two out of those three companies is concerned they were using many Unix based systems. CATIA was widely used on IBM AIX machines, but now the latest version of CATIA (Version 5) is native to Windows. The CATIA port to Unix was very poor and is no longer supported at my company.
As a result, most of the AIX workstations are being mothballed as new projects begin.
Blizzard added Need or Greed to WoW in a later patch. In the old days you would send a text of "n" or "g" prior to rolling for loot. The "n"s would get first shot at the item and roll amongst themselves if there was more than one person typing "n". Otherwise everyone rolls for greed.
If anything Blizzard just incorporated customer feedback and didn't come up with this looting system.
So why not just get an xbox 360 and the VGA cable add-on? Plug that into one of your monitors or a secondary source of your main monitor and you'll be good to go.
It's going to take them awhile to adapt to the idea of plugging the bandwidth as a home utility rather than a feature of your computer. Which is actually a good thing, because the bandwidth doesn't quite yet exist to play true TV or Movies on demand.
That's odd because I've been using Comcast's On Demand feature for months now. It's nice to be able to watch any missing episodes of HBO specials when you wish. Granted, you can only choose what they have to offer at any one time, but the bandwidth to do this is there.
If you aren't sure what this feature is about... it allows you to pick a title and watch it with rewind, ff, pause, play, and stop/resume. They have a list of shows that are available for a few weeks and are replaced with other titles as those expire. For instance Sopranos Eps. 1 through 5 are available now and will be replaced with eps. 6 through 10 when their time is up.
The aircraft would be gutted of any items not needed for this job to bring the weight down. Don't expect to see first class seating and in flight internet access. The amount of water would simply be kept below 910,000 lbs (747's maximum takeoff weight) minus the empty (no water) tanker weight. It looks like they chose 24,000 lbs of water for this configuration. One thing that I would be concerned about is sloshing of water that would throw the aircraft off balance. A solution to this would be many seperate water tanks that would minimize this effect. On thing that I couldn't find on the site is if they are using a commercial 747 or a cargo 747.
I'm not sure that metric is much different than U.S. ANSI sized paper. ANSI A is 8.5" x 11", ANSI B is 11" x 17", ANSI C is 17" x 22", ANSI D is 22" x 34", and ANSI E is 34" x 44". With this you can have any size sheet twice as long in one direction or double the size all around. From what I see Metric A() sizes do the same thing. The difference is that one is in inches and the other in mm. FYI, I'm in aerospace design engineering and usually use none of the above, but instead use other sizes that are 22" tall, but very long.
You "can" get more than 2 users in Win XP Pro. First you have to get Service Pack 2 Beta and then follow the tweaks that I found on www.neowin.net and then you can have two working sessions at once. I use this on my PC so that my wife can use her wifi laptop to check her main email account on the desktop pc while I'm still working. Also good for doing CPU intensive stuff from a slower computer because the work in done on the faster one.
The question would be if this will still work once SP2 is finally released...
Now it seems that all the music downloading news is about the pay per download sites, the music piracy issues have taken a back seat in the headlines. I'd say this round of lawsuits gets little coverage because the shock and awe factor is gone. Time for the RIAA to move on to a new tactic to grab the attention of all those harmful pirates.
On March 4th this thing had already hit the internet as a two disc dvd rip (check vcdquality's web site). I figured that I would have heard it all over the news sites over the weekend, but I guess it's under the news' radar. Who is the MPAA going to blame this copy on? Looks to me like it is a insider leak as usual. The copy is a full rip including 5.1 surround and complete menu structure. The speed at which it was leaked is amazing, still in theaters and before the DVD was even mentioned to the public. Is suing a 12 year old going to stop this?
Remote Desktop. I could see using this thing to access my home PC running a remote desktop through Wifi. Who cares how fast it is as long as it has the ability to push my commands through and display the graphics on the (small) screen. Right now I've got a 12" Sony VAIO that I can contect to running as my main desktop PC that is connected to my wireless router. I simply fire up remote desktop from the laptop and now I'm effectivly running at P4 2.8GHz speed with a Gig of RAM and plenty of hard drive space, not to mention access to the programs on that computer. This applies to any "under powered" pc networked to a nice box.

Who's going to explain all the quick Guitar Hero sequels?
I know Windows-R exists, but I still use "Windows, Up, Up, Enter" instead. It's quick enough, IMO.
Logoff? That's what happens on my WinXP at work. I need three Ups to hit Run.

I'm in the 5 digit UID club. I need help getting the 4, 3, 2, and 1 UID achievements.
That's not true. If that was the case then they could not ban the Arcade/Core consoles.

Am I actually supposed to read TFA before posting? You must be new here.

This is just resetting USENET so that the first two rules are back in place. Move along please.

Too bad the Spring update broke TVersity. Hopefully it gets updated soon.
I've been using CAD programs (mainly CATIA) in my line of work for 10 years and haven't used AutoCAD once since college.
To me AutoCAD is like MS Paint compared to Photoshop. Maybe other places use it more but they sure don't use it much in aerospace CAD.
