I think it's too large, but then again I normally try to get just the essential buttons I need to do my work on one single line. In Firefox, I have the file/edit/view/etc on the left, just to the right of that are my back/forward/refresh/stop/home buttons, and on the remaining real estate of that singular bar is the address. I can't stand how more and more icon bars are added to things today. Just one. That's all I need. The same goes with that stupid new Start Menu. It's too large! The old one was fine (and I still use it. Minus the "help" and "documents" options.) So I'm a minimalist...sue me.
Good point...when I wrote that up, I completely forgot about dual star systems and such. Maybe the scale should shift to a relationship based on ratio of mass? You will almost always be able to identify one object as the most dense. This whole debate over what to call Pluto and the moon is rediculous.
Why don't we just get used to calling everything that orbits around another entity a satellite and get over this whole "planet/moon/sun" debate. Classifify the satellites by how massive they are and the material makeup? It would make a normalized database much easier to construct:p
I doubt most people get Live Gold or whatever it's called. I never got Live for my Xbox 1. Not everyone has time to get good enough at Halo to even bother trying to compete online... in fact, I would say most people probably don't (though I have no stats to back that up). If I got a 360, I doubt I'd get Live Gold, so I would have no extra expense.
According to this over half the people who bough an XBox360 are on live. If you factor in the fact that you can't play games unless you have Live Gold, I'd say a good percentage of those are Gold members. This is a ton of subscribers. It only proves that people are willing to pay PS3 prices for gaming.
I think Square Enix will maintain the FF series on the PS3 only. How can I say that? The games have gotten very cinematic in nature. They have pushed the systems in the past to provide a very rich story while using movies in game to help tell the story. I don't think the Wii will have enough processing power/storage capacity for the FF series. The XBox360 won't have the disk capacity and the PS3 Core processor is built around streaming media. This is excellent for the Final Fantasy style of game. I just can't see Square/Enix taking a step backwards if they have any pride in their game and the Playstation takes more then 50% market (which I think it will easily). The only thing that will take FF off the PS line will be money, but I don't see it happening this generation.
I'd have to disagree on this. I will most likely buy a PS3, not because I'm some kind of "psycho Sony fanboy" or anything, but because the spec sheet pins it being a better overall system if/when(?) the games start rolling in for it. I could care less what the price is to tell you the truth. I've spent nearly as much on a video card as this system costs.
The only people I really see complaining about the PS3 are those that bought 360s and my only assumption here is that they don't want it to fail as the XBox did. Rightly so, but damn those MS bitches need to calm down a bit.
From reading about all the problems with the recent game "security features" causing more problems than they solve it's actually taught more people about the software piracy market. The customer that went out and bought a game that doesn't run has to resort to piracy (in a sense) to play the game they already payed for. What makes you think they are ever going to buy another game after they find out all the NoCD, serial numbers and cracks are out there?
It's almost hilarious how anti-piracy acts have actually created more pirates. I know of at least five people that didn't even have a clue where to go to get this stuff until they couldn't run a game they bought that had Starforce protection that didn't work.
(There are a few long sentences in there, and maybe a mispelling or two. Try to look beyond it to the point.)
OMG!! Nintendo stole the button from the Atari!
Dude, that's soo wrong. How could someone so blatently copy such a feature??
What about Microsoft stealing the idea from the PS2 to include a DVD drive in the system? How could they?
(/Emo Attitude)
It's a freakin button. Live with it.
All companies have bad mouthed each other. You make it sound as if Sony was the only one.
Your reading right into the hype. It happens before the release of any major system. (See Vista.) When the sytem comes out, you can knock it all you want, but you have nothing to stand on until that day.
FYI, I don't recall the PS3 controller looking like a TV remote. Motion sensing has been around a lot longer than the Wii, so I don't see what your trying to say here. Also, it has been stated that all BD-Roms in the PS3 will be 2X dual layer drives. Get your facts straight before spreading lies.
...and as you point out, these things take time to resolve. The black community today is looking for that process to be sped up so they can benefit from it even though it infringes upon the rights of the white community? How is that fair treatment? Over time, this will dissapear. Forcing the issue every time something obscure comes up only makes that education worse. Black kids running around today grow up thinking the white man is out to bring them down, but in truth, the black community themselves are feeding that into their kid's heads.
So, your saying we need to promote someone to that position to prove equality, even though they might not be qualified or opt for the position. I've yet to see a dark skinned person run for office. What about Franklin Raines (Fannie Mae's CEO up until he retired in 2004 because the company was misrun). I suppose it was misrun on purpose to get him out of the seat? Seriously. Racism is a played card today. If you want a black person in those positions, go to school and work your way into the position instead of accepting handouts from racist organizations like the NAACP.
Let me ask you a serious question here. If you are looking at charts in your link trying to detail a perfect 50/50 black/white government or business market, how does that prove equality? You have 100 positions to fill in a high ranking company. You have 100 white pawns and 70 black pawns. By your logic, 50 of the 70 black pawns should be promoted to equal positions as the white pawns. Where does that leave the other 50 white pawns? Are they less important or skilled than the 20 remaining black pawns? By wanting an equal share of the upper market for a particular race, you yourself are being racist. Face it. There are more whites in this contry than blacks. Ratios and education should determine the outcome, not organizations based on race.
I've had a hard time with this question as well. The metric system is simple. Math is easier when divided into 10 units as opposed to 12. 1.25 meters is 125 centimeters, but 1.25 yards = 45 inches. Without doing quick math in your head, the US Standard measurement is harder to calculate. Most people today accept ignorant phonetic respelling because it's easier but we maintain that flawed measurement scheme (or should I say "flawd mezyurment skeem"?)
I'm collecting money for hungry children. Are you interested in donating to this wonderful cause? I'll be out on your street corner standing next to my Escalade collecting donations between 7 and 9am.
I don't think they can. I don't remember where it was but I read that MS signs deals with the manufacturers to "include certain aspects of windows" in order to resell the OS and maintain support.
You realize that one major difference nullifies your argument. BluRay drives will play DVDs, so you don't have to replace your entire movie collection as you may have in the VHS->DVD conversion.
In every gaming article that comes along, someone makes the off comment about the supposed wife and/or girlfriend. Do you think that gamers don't have wives? Do you think that somehow, by gaming, you will not have the time to dedicate to a wife? If that's the case, I choose gaming. I'll stay single if wives take that much time to maintain.
The only other possible answer to this is that someone wants to pretend to have a full "life". They want to degrade and downtrod someone else to make themselves feel better about their lack of "interesting" things to do in life.
I'm sorry, but if I have to compete with my neighbor (or the Jones Family) to make you happy, your going to live a sad..sad life.

But the small chain stores could never carry the inventory to be able to go in and pick up any book in publish. Amazon allows this (even if they have to order it) It's not going to take any longer to get to you.
As far as the "local shop" mentality. Why support a company that doesn't innovate? In the case of Amazon, it took very little to start them up. Even companies like UPS will offer dropship and warehousing services for the small business if they wanted to get into internet sales. If they choose not to go that route, I don't see why we as consumers should have to pay more for their lack of foresight/expansion.
I suppose some facts were overlooked in deciding the cause of his violence.
"Neher, whose mother has a mobile home parked on Gore's property, and Hunter Everette, 17, of Denham Springs, were booked with first-degree murder and armed robbery on Wednesday."
"The estimated population, in 2003, was 9,204."
"The number of violent crimes recorded by the FBI in 2003 was 174."
"The violent crime rate was 19 per 1,000 people."
I still think the setup need a checkbox when it first loads up to say,
"If your a computer expert, click here for the full option setup. Otherwise, we will install what we think you need automatically."
Those of us that don't want movie makers, unwarranted services and whatnot can choose to never have them put in.
