As far as I know, you don't hear chatter from other games. I'm pretty sure that when you join another game, you "leave" your friends channel and join the game channel. When you exit the game, you get kicked back to your friends. I never paid attention while my friend was playing his box but I'm pretty certain that you don't hear other people in other games.
Windows Phone is not like Windows Desktop... I don't like to normally use either, but at least I know they are very different (for the time being...we'll see what Windows 8 does.)
The only reason I see for that is the cross game chat and gaming groups. Otherwise the PS3 has other/better features, IMHO. Sony's been stupid by not introducing it, but with memory limitations (promises to developers/prior games) I can see why they haven't. You can practically guarantee it'll be in the PS4 though unless they are totally brain dead. I personally don't partake in chat unless I have to (strategy, etc.), but I can see the appeal.
Someone once told me that out of 8 hours we only in reality work like 1. The rest we pretend. I tend to believe that.
I was told the same, except it was 3 hours instead of 1. It was my previous supervisor so they may have been trying to get 3x the productivity out of me.
I have a feeling that's the intent... they have been focusing on the wireless aspect of the business and those that are still clinging to wire are going to find the wire cut off. I wouldn't be surprised if Vz sells off the land line.
Oh man.. fire was made to cook meat, people are made of meat... therefore fire was made to cook people! Obviously we need regulation on this fire so that someone doesn't use it to cook people!
It's why I often wonder at why Linux users dream about taking over the desktop. If that did occur, it would mean a drive to lower cost that would result, almost inevitably, in the wholesale adoption of s single choice, reducing all the other choices to total irrelevance.
I don't understand this logic.if the hardware was standardized, anyone could make the chip and someone would find a way to compete (speed improvements, power consumption,...)
The whole deal with ARM standards is probably going to be solved with Windows 8 (unfortunately) if it sticks to the promise of running on ARM. Microsoft will step in and say "Here is what we will support" and the chip shops will fall in step.
With my moto box, I can hit the favorite button on the remote in the guide and it lists only those channels. Not sure if you can or not, but I found it by accident.
I actually use to love doing this with Baldur's Gate and other games. My friend would do the quests and I would concentrate solely on combat with my characters. It wasn't boring at all. I had more fun playing the game and beating the different combat scenarios than reading the stories.
I've completed many... many games, but RDR was not one I could handle getting past the first town you get to outside the ranch. I got bored of the main quest and went off on my own to see what I could do. Nothing it seems.
Can you leave out the pointy 1's, 2's, 4's, and 7's please? The 5's are okay because there's only one pointy part and it's rather obtuse in angle, but those 4's... oh man.
I wouldn't say I missed out. I got sick of the cut scenes breaking the action, the cut scenes every time you skinned an animal, the stupid cougars that would jump you, then you had to wait for sloth boy to stand up while the thing jumped on you again. It was incredibly slow paced game, there was no point in robbing a train on your own... I think I got $5 from one. There was no point in playing evil (even though you had a karma bar that let you...) and I was able to break a major quest by taking out a hideout before the story line took me there.
I was one of the 90% that didn't complete it, because it was a shitty game.
It's still a grind when you hit 50, which can be solo'ed, but it's quicker with friends. Rift was actually one of the few games that I hit max level on before I lost interest, but most other games held on to me for a longer period of time even though I didn't cap. I got my mage up to 50 and literally ran out of things to do besides grind expert dungeons or grind faction to get a mount. The dungeons wouldn't have been bad if they changed or were random, but it quickly became "stand here, cast this, rinse repeat." There was one point I literally set my mage outside a town in Stillmoor with my G15 keyboard on repeat clicking one button to kill trash for faction while I watched TV. I've done the faction grind before. I did it with my EQ Enchanter, but it served a purpose other than buying stuff. It let me venture into cities I'd otherwise be unwelcome. It required that I pay attention to the mobs I was killing (cause it was deadly every battle) and it didn't require that I literally kill thousands of trash to get one bar of faction to be welcomed by another bar to get another level of faction. I knew at that point to cancel my sub.
Rifts were pointless. They were really more of a hindrance, and I'm not talking about the rush to get to 50. I tried to take part in the Rifts and enjoy them, but they were so frequent and spammy (even after the third(?) change in reward factoring) that it was ridiculous. Of course, someone came up with the brilliant idea to make the rifts based on population so all the higher level areas were rift-less and during world events you had to go back to the beginner area to take part (until they then changed it so that you didn't get credit for the gray mobs). This then made some events pointless to level 50 characters pushing you back into the expert dungeons as the only thing you could do. In my mind, Rifts were low level content which only made it easier to out-level the rifts you were doing... pushing you into a zone where no rifts ever showed up.
That's not even getting into the fact that Rifts caused no irreversible changes. Wait long enough and they de-spawned to bring back the NPCs that were there before.
I love how it's assumed that somehow the acquisition of Moto will make Android less open to the Android alliance members... I guess that's the normal tactic. Spread FUD.
One page is easy. Especially if it's just raw text. Try an entire site with styles, dynamic content, etc. IE handles events differently among the many things that can cause workarounds. Firefox handles font sizes differently... (Even with IE9/FF6+/Chrome13+ you'll have issues if you try to do anything but plain text.)
I think Insight in Central Ohio is the only division of Insight that uses Time Warner... and the only division of Insight that seems to be falling behind (tech wise).;)
Columbus area? I inquired via email when Insight was going DOCSIS 3 (like Time Warner already did in the downtown area from what I read) and about getting a replacement for my Moto DVR. I got directed to Sales and they seemed to ignore the network inquiry.
Google may well be planning to extend Android into the car and living room with a bit more seriousness than previously the case.
I can only hope so. I hate the fact that the only Car manufacturer seriously looking into "carputers" is Ford and they are leaning on MS. If they pick up some of the Home A/V market (not sure about that) I'm sure it will be a move to improve Google TV.

Teaching doesn't always have to be accurate...
I mean, the first thing you learn about gravity as a kid is that things fall. You aren't taught that things fall at 9.8m/s^2 until terminal velocity.
You learn that things are hot or cold before you learn that there is a reason for that.
They could touch you on the shoulder... you took that in the bathroom with you, right?
I guess some people can move more inches per minute than others.
I thought that was what Thai food was for...

yes, I copies This Reply using word from This very page with mouse. Who needs keyboard? I just needs someone to supply word.
(ooc: Nobody wrote copy yet?)

Isn't that what environment variables are for?

It may come as a surprise to some, but there is a world outside of slashdot, and a lot of those people don't play video games.
Those poor... poor souls. How do they do it?

No stalking needed on that one.

Also, "H.264, MPEG-4" probably has to help them with the WebM battle.
