September 13, 2006 - According to an article at the Seattle PI that is reporting on an article in the New York Times, Nintendo plans to announce the Wii will debut in North and South America on November 19 for $250.
Thursday's announcement should also reveal that Nintendo plans to provide gamers with more than 25 new titles for the Wii this year.
The NYT reports that every Wii will include Wii Sports. Additional games for the Wii are reportedly priced at $50 each. About 30 classic downloadable Virtual Console games should be available this year and will cost about $5-$10 each.
The Wii will also include a "Photo Channel" which will allow users to use their Wii to share digital photos via their television. In addition there will be news and weather channels.
MUDs (precursors to mmorpgs) have noticed this for a long time. The game is cool, and it is what draws people, but the relationships and community is what causes people to stay. This logically leads to stuff like MUD meets (players going to somewhere and hanging out for a few days) and even an occasionally marriage. I'm serious; I know no less than two couples who met in a MUD and ended up getting married.
I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. I immediately ran over and said, "Stop! Don't do it!" "Why shouldn't I?" he said. I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!" "Like what?" "Well... are you religious or atheist?" "Religious." "Me too! Are you Christian or Jewish?" "Christian." "Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?" "Protestant." "Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?" "Baptist." "Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?" "Baptist Church of God." "Me too! Are you Original Baptist Church of God, or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?" "Reformed Baptist Church of God." "Wow! Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?" "Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915!" To which I said, "Die, heretic scum!" and pushed him off.
That piece of spam is possibly the most cost-effective individual piece of spam ever: the spammer sent it to one person and gets 25000+ views of it instead.
Because wikipedia is not software. Sure, it is run by software, and what it uses is rather good at that. But that is not the important part of it -- the important part is the idealogy of it. There are a lot of wikis and wiki programs, but there is only one Wikipedia.

It seems I can't get Canonical's apt program to recognize I'm running a pirated version of ubuntu. It should be obvious, since I even got it as an iso file on the internet for free...
Get an IRC client and connect to irc.freenode.net:6667. There are a zillion channels on it, so you might feel a little lost, but few to start on would be ##linuxhelp, #suse,##kde/##gnome. Note: ## instead of # for channels means that it is a help or 'about' channel.
20x your body weight every day would neccessitate that either: 1. They are shitting constantily, and at 99% of the speed they eating, or 2. They would grow expotentially in size by the following formula: Given W is the weight of a starting dragonfly, W(x) = W(1)(20)^x Given 350g as the normal dragonfly bodyweight, and summer being 181 days long, that produces: 350(20)^181 = 10727468786061222008508429190052164285331173855285 21523200000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000g

What was that saying again? Something about lies, damn lies, and statistics?
Bleh, your right. I was going from a few weeks ago, so it might have been broken with the update. That sucks :/
Yes...
Of course, I am not sure I count considering I don't have an iPod, I run linux and I don't have to deal with the DRM.

Screw both of them. Just give me telnet. I play MUDs, plus I can make 'telnet' clients that happen to understand both stmp and http...

You know, I once heard a wise man tell a parable:
... are you religious or atheist?"
;)
I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off.
I immediately ran over and said, "Stop! Don't do it!"
"Why shouldn't I?" he said.
I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!"
"Like what?"
"Well
"Religious."

For all your talk of standardization, you may want to read a certain standard on capitalization of proper nouns...
Truely now, how many people modded this insightful because they didn't understand it?

If it is commercial, couldn't the company' records be subpoenaed (in a worst case scenario) by state/local/etc authorities?
Records? What records?
Ok, you are either copying me (your post id is one larger) or that is plain SCARY.

20x your body weight every day would neccessitate that either:
1. They are shitting constantily, and at 99% of the speed they eating, or
2. They would grow expotentially in size by the following formula:
Given W is the weight of a starting dragonfly,
W(x) = W(1)(20)^x
Given 350g as the normal dragonfly bodyweight, and summer being 181 days long, that produces:
350(20)^181
= 1072746878606122200850842919005216428533117385528

or 1.072 x 10 ^ 93 yotta grams (roughly).
That is one big dragonfly.
Was there not a famous dot com company that bombed trying to use this idea?
Anything that has dot bombed increased my BS-o-meter level.
