Uh, huh, and processors, other components, and PSUs never go out. Solid state components do last longer, they do not however last forever. Oh, and the PS2 does anything BUT dissipate heat correctly. Hell my PC doesn't dissipate heat entirely correctly, and it's put together a hell of allot better, and components still go out.
Have you experienced that kind of setup? I take classes out at the local Community College where I am periodically when I'm overly bored, and it's the biggest mess. The IT for the school is for quite a few of the schools in the area. The school is in Nevada, and the IT people are in VIRGINIA! Biggest damn mess I've ever seen. They don't even have people in the state. They just call the flunkie kids that are working for the school to do their work once someone at the school calls them with a problem. They have a contract too for the next few years so you can't exactly can them. Least if someone in your school's IT department is incompetent you can fire them directly, and find someone else.
Meh, you guys are overkill. My HS I was at from 96-00 had no form of filtering until the ass end of my senior year. The HS was massively over-funded too (http://www.atech.org/). Now while they can't seem to make a website to save their lives still after all these years, I at least was a hell of allot more productive all those years until the laughable IT department in the school instituted their filters. Hell of allot less students doing stupid things too (I bout got booted so many times for circumventing the IT staff's setups continually). Too bad kids can't be allowed to make their own mistakes anymore.
Don't mind him, those kind of people have no idea how to do something else while goofing off. The fine art of multitasking is lost on the younger generation (and I'm only 25!).
Google's primary communication has been with CHINESE speakers. Ya know, the people that would use it. They have supposedly rectified the problem, and effectively made this a non-issue.
Not to mention the imbread fuckers that use that chirp to talk BS. Usually some black fuckwit wannabe gangbanger too that thinks the whole world needs to hear him use a cellphone like a walkie talkie. ARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!
Right, you honestly think a studio will give you ned content for your movie like subtitles that they didn't have yet? They have your money, and they won't do one extra thing thats not physically encoded on the disk unless it's to lock you our, or make more money (count on commercials getting delivered this way).
Boo ho, this is a far cry from what.com used to cost. I just jack the domain names up a few bucks. Only people 50 cent increases are gona impact are domain name squatters. I say lets get the pricing up to $25-$35 for a domain. We'll see squatters start dropping like flies.
And thats primarily to support the people keeping the format from doing stupid shit like MP3-Pro. AAC vs say OGG is a kind of setup thats something akin to SD Flash cards and MMC Flash cards. Devices almost always support both if they support one of them (except almost nobody supports OGG), but which one gets pushed forward more due to actually having money?
Really the whole AAC thing getting added to players has been going strong for a while already. Oddly enough it's happening in many new cellphones now that are supporting AAC (look at any cellphone Samsung makes now or really any that come out of Japan). Which makes you wonder how lazy audio player manufacturers are getting when the cellphone industry is doing something very uncharacteristically open that they have yet to do.
MP3 is encumbered by licensing & fees. AAC is open & free to make your own tools. I'm still slightly pissed for having to pay for dBpowerAMP because of licensing now.
Or another way is to do what my flipped out History teacher did. She made us do creative writing. Was quite the curve ball personally, but certainly set the tone for the class. Damn I never enjoyed history so much since then.
Yes, because "pro gamers" add soooo much to the industry. This is just an instance of advertisers being told to fuck off by the game companies about ads in their games. It's mildly ironic since they'd be crucified by the same people for allowing it, who are accepting money, and other stuff like plane tickets & such to wear an "innocent" shirt to an event, advertise in the game for them, etc. The whole notion of professional gamers is a load of tripe. Theres only one type of professional in the videogame industry, and it's the people slaving away making the games. Everybody else just a consumer, or mercenary for hire looking to offer a pound of flesh.
Yes it's locked to an iPod, but only if your audio player of choice doesn't support the open & non-proprietary AAC (and remeber kids, no licensing fee to make a player support AAC vs MP3). Large numbers of phones being made today support AAC. Theres no good reason why companies like Creative & Sandisk don't get on board.
Yes, because starting a response with "nobody cares what you believe" really means that (otherwise you'd never said a damn thing). Not to mention some of us are looking for ya know, intelligent debate. The Earth goes through warming & cooling cycles we really have no control over. Just as how global cooling was debunked years ago, so will global warming once we enter another cooling cycle, and we'll be back at the same place where we are now with crazed environmentalists who are really concerned with taking "the man" down a notch more than the environment, and indigent people, just, like, you. Yes we are fucking our environment up, but saying global warming is the result is just as bad of science as the TFA's science. For example: places like Iraq used to be beautiful, and very green areas in previous history. However the people of the area treated it like shit, and well, they have a sprawling desert now. If we treat the world bad enough it'll shake us off like a bad cold, and get back to business as usual.
We all know leaving all the lights on, running the AC while with 120 out with the doors open, massive fat assed American sized SUVs, and dumping toxins into our environment is bad. But please, rally behind the real truth that it's just bad common sense to do such things, and not some buzzword of the day. You can always tell when your being fed a load of tripe, because someone always spouts off a buzzword or 50.
Thats only really relevant if your talking about a Mac Mini. iMacs allow for graphics card upgrading via MXM, and Mac Pros are standard desktops with a crap load of processing power. As for motherboards with different features? Theres not really any features a Mac doesn't have already I've been able to really see on a normal x86 board (with the same form factor) that I wanted. That kind of hardware nitpicking only really matters when your dealing with choosing between a Via & ASUS board kind of deal. Apple puts quite a bit more in their systems than PC manufacturers do.
Not much success? If you live in a fairly decent city 3G is there, and 3G phones are almost the only kind of phones you can get ahold of. Only phones stores here in Vegas carry that aren't 3G are leftovers of yester-years phones, and companies like Palm who refuse to get with the times.
You must not have been around for the NES & SNES. Blood, violence, any kind of vulgarity, and gore you'll find very little of. Hell, there was only one game I've ever been able to find that said that you actually "died", and it was Friday the 13th (kinda hard to say anything else). Plus their licensing was kinda screwed up to say the least. You really don't want Nintendo being able to do something like that again. The Wii is the shit, but Nintendo is better off with some good competition. Being forced to innovate to remain relevant is a very good thing for them.
You do know blowing into NES carts did nothing right? It was the oxidation of the copper contact pins inside the NES that caused the problems. The inserting, and removing of the carts did far more to break up the oxidation than blowing on the pins of the games. Thats why the top-loader NES came about. They switched to something else that doesn't oxidize the moment it touches air.

$25 used down at Gamestop. Picked up two so far, and not much wear on them. WIll pickup two more soon.
The Wii doesn't need crap pushed out. As of today I have Super Paper Mario to tide me over for the moment. Nintendo knows how to make good stuff :D

There you go, and as other posters have noted on here, things appear to be rectified in the latest beta release (1.0.17.0).

Because...AAC is OPEN & ya know, FREE? You can put a proprietary DRM wrapper on ANY audio format which is what Apple did.

Hey troll, AAC is an open format. Even my cellphone supports AAC. The files come with NO proprietary DRM wrapper.
