I would also accept putting the emulator in ROM. Either way, Sega can add a few games to the budget line simply by pulling out the old gold CD masters, pressing new copies, and putting Revolution (or whatever the new system will be called--Revolution is too similar to 360 for my taste anyways) badging on the package. It could even say "Also plays on Sega Saturn" on the back.
You don't need to fit the Saturn game on the SD card. You just need to fit the Saturn emulator on the SD card. Then you put the saturn game in the slot-load drive.
"Cost per patient" isn't the best metric to use on a health care system. Letting everyone die costs $0 per patient. (That's what the insurance company would spend if it could get away with it.)
It would be funny if the anti-piracy ads actually increased awareness of piracy in the negative way, and people who would otherwise have gone to the theatres and paid to see movies realize they can pay for a broadband connection and get all the movies they want.
So you've replaced DOS with Search Engine, 1980 with 1997, Bill Gates with Sergey Brin, and Seattle Computer Products with Yahoo, and then made up a bunch of stuff.
Cartridges had (and still have) the advantage over optical media of trivial load times. This is another reason the DS is doing so much better than the PSP (in addition to better software, lower software price, lower console price, and better battery life): you can start playing right away, instead of waiting a minute or two for stuff to load. Ultimately it turned out that people who are about to play a console game don't mind a bit of load time, since they're usually sitting down for the long haul.
The money making game engrish can't compare to the credits, where they miscredit Shigeru Miyamoto as S. Miyahon. I wonder if they fixed that in the version that came with the GameCube for a while.
Yeah, I call BS on that managers getting fired claim. Nobody's getting fired for making pages that force you to use IE on Windows (like VH1's video page and every WMA-based online music store), and that's excluding a whopping 10% of the market.
GoldenEye's unlikely because EA has the Bond license now.
Also, single shot kill is a dumb mode. Play with Hero (-10) health. A center mass shot from anything but a handgun will still take you down, but at least you don't die if you're shot in the gun while standing around a corner.
If you don't want to buy Vista to play games, buy a console. Costs less than a video card and you don't have to upgrade it for ~5 years.

You can do all of this through the iTunes COM interface, which is accessible to VBS, and also any compiled application.
var iTunesApp = WScript.CreateObject("iTunes.Application"); var mainLibrary = iTunesApp.LibraryPlaylist; var tracks = mainLibrary.Tracks; var numTracks = tracks.Count; var time_secs = 0;
for (i = 1; i <= numTracks; i++) { var currTrack = tracks.Item(i); var track_end = currTrack.Finish; var track_start = currTrack.Start; var track_dur = track_end - track_start; var track_time = currTrack.PlayedCount * track_dur; time_secs += track_time; }
According to this, iTunes has been playing for ~29.5 days since my hard drive crash about a year ago. This is what I get for having a Scheduled Task (think cron job) run a VBS that uses COM to start iTunes as my alarm clock. (Item is 1-indexed, which is probably simpler for non-coders; subtracting the start time from the end time instead of using Length makes sure it doesn't count space that isn't part of the song, such as most of The Wonderful Future by Our Lady Peace, which has abour 13 minutes of empty space between the end of the song and Ray Kurzweil reading a long excerpt from his "The Age of Spiritual Machines".)
While on the subject of thought crime, I've always been upset at the use of the term 'Convicted Pedophile' as though pedophilia was itself a crime. Certainly child molestation is a serious crime, and I would take no offense to the use of the term 'Convicted Child Molester' on people to whom it applies, but calling someone 'convicted' of something that isn't in and of itself a crime--and for that matter, isn't a physical act and is involuntary--both reeks of thought crime and probably makes latent pedophiles fearful of seeking psyciatric treatment, exacerbating the problem.
Call your congressman and/or senator and ask them to amend the to add language specifically requiring all humans born a certain period of time after the passage of the bill to be implanted with a drm chip that encrypts their descriptions or performances of copyrighted works so that those without a license to receive that work can't have it spoiled. Have them spout some fiery rhetoric about how movie spoilers and humming a few bars are costing their respective industries millions, and this is the only way to protect content providers. There's no way a piece of legislation amended thus would ever be passed--implanting chips into babies' brains is a hotter button than music and film piracy.
Right?

That, sir, is the worst misspelling of 'bias' I've ever seen.

Not if it loads them in iframes.

Vim 7? I just know that's going to screw me up. I've been pronouncing vi as "six" for ages now. Do I need to add an alias named "vii" now?
My favourite is US Patent #1, which is for a time machine. I wonder how that guy got to be first in line on the first day?
