Because Kiss was always about being corporate whores. I mean it's not about the music, it was about how fully they could sell out for more money. And if the corporate masters don't keep pushing it there's that many fewer lunchboxes and breakfast cereals sold.
Not necessarily, in this house we've got a Wii, PS3 and a Roku. It's wonderful because it means that we can have 3 different TVs hooked up at the same time. Admittedly we don't have that many, but I've got my PS3 hooked up via HDMI to my monitor, which makes for a much more pleasant viewing experience than the software player.
You're screwed. Basically either give up the OtherOS feature or you don't get to stream. Last night when I tried it, I wasn't successful getting the disc to work. I may have missed something, but it wasn't working.
In order to download the update you have to be logged into your PSN account, which means that you have to be running the 3.50 firmware. I recommend complaining to your Attorney General or whoever it is that is in charge of consumer complaints in your region. Given that Sony has been disabling features after purchase, I think a few complaints and they'll get their asses sued back into the stone age.
That sounds about right, it always seemed odd to me that they needed to send a disc when the PS3 had the capacity to download the content directly. Didn't seem like it made much sense for them to waste the money sending out the discs.
I was actually shocked at how much better the 720p stream of Eureka was than the other day when I was watching it on my old TV. I know 720p isn't real HD, but it is impressive nonetheless and everything just seems to pop in a way that wasn't possible previously.
For PS3 it requires 3.5 and I'll be complaining to my Attorney General about that later on today. Because while it's not Netflix's fault that Sony is being a dick about it, I don't think that Sony can legally take away features that have been there previously because you're not willing to update. As in I don't think they can take away the PSN access and require that you update in order to do things like watch Netflix movies.
As for the Xbox360, no clue what firmware that's going to require. But supposedly the Wii is going to be similarly endowed.
It's definitely a potential antitrust violation. It doesn't matter whether they're being equal about it or not, if they're extorting money out of the consumers to provide the service there's definitely room for an investigation.
Sure you can, they're using a public resource, one which does not belong to them and you sure as hell can tell them that if they don't spend x% of the money on infrastructure improvements and maintenance and hit our targets that you're not going to be using that resource anymore.
It's one thing to give opportunities and another to make those opportunities realistic for most students. They deserve to get hammered if they're not providing the remedial classes necessary to serve the students that benefit from the relaxed standards.
Setting up students for failure really doesn't become admirable because a small fraction make use of a opportunity that they wouldn't of otherwise had.
Which buys them a few years, until they're up for their next review. Accreditation isn't something you do once and coast for the next couple decades, it's something that's up for review from time to time to ensure that it's still appropriate.
Thanks to a lack of shielding in the original NES, I remember my friend's NES being played by remote from the basement. It's kind of disheartening, here you're trying to play a game of SMB and Mario keeps getting suicidally depressed and jumps into the nearest pit.
Unfortunately there are a few nations out there that are powerful enough economically that it's hard to ignore them completely. The US being one and China being another.
He did accomplish that in more or less a weekend. And he's got screen shots indicating that he's got more than just that. Of course he hasn't released it so we're just speculating, but it's likely far more substantial than just what you see in the video.
What you should realize is that he's been at this for a bit now, and the point in progress referenced in the article was from a couple weeks back. Meaning he hadn't been working very long on it at that point IIRC.
Two other games. Daikatana and Sin. He did receive permission IIRC from Romero to do Daikatana, but got a cease and desist order covering Sin. If he doesn't finish it, perhaps he could hand over the assets to Gearbox and make it a part of the DNF GOTY edition.
And yes, whatever year sees the shipment of DNF will be the same year it wins the GOTY for finishing it. Even if it isn't that great.
I'm not sure on what basis the permission was given. Take 2 as far as I know only had rights to DNF not the back catalog. And Gearbox is just involved with polishing and finishing DNF for sale.
As far as I can tell the IP belongs to 3D Realms until such a time as the bankruptcy proceedings are finished and it's sold.
That's probably because he wasn't lawfully elected. Probably because no part of the constitution as amended does it say that in cases where an election can't be called the SCOTUS gets to step in and decide. Nope, in cases where the electoral college can't pick a winner, there's a very specific protocol to be followed.
Really? At least under Obama things are moving in the right direction. The economy is picking up, albeit slowly, we're retreating from wars that shouldn't have been started in the first place, civil rights are for the most part being restored and there's been actual focus on real world problems.
Sure he's not perfect, but at least he's trying to get it right. He'd be doing a lot better at this point if the Republicans were actually trying to contribute rather than find ridiculous excuses to shoot down every possible piece of legislation.
That's rather obtuse of you. Nobody says that he can't close the camp. The issue is now that the camp is theoretically closed, what happens to the people who are currently there. He doesn't have the power to actually fix that, especially not if he wants to get other things done.
And precisely what troops are we ordering to do that? The ones that are fatigued from spending most of the last decade fighting two wars? Remember that the President does not have the authority to declare a draft. Not to mention the fact that he doesn't have the authority to send in troops to a new theater of combat just on a whim. There's significant restrictions that have been in place as a result of Vietnam.
LOL. The issue I took with it was that they weren't using all the technology available at that time. The real one would almost certainly have involved gears to set the focal point and the angle to the sun, making a narrow strip of a heat ray which would deal just fine with the rocking of the boats.
Not to say that such a thing was created, just that it's more realistic than the show made it out to be.
Because the UN does such a fantastic job of stopping genocide and crimes against humanity? I mean the UN did exist when the genocide in Cambodia was happening as well as more recently the genocide in Darfur as well as in Iraq just after the government was overthrown by American led forces.
Not saying that the UN is completely worthless, but lets not paint an unrealistic picture of things.
I tend to start people off with Puppy Linux booted from a CDROM. It's simple enough that most people can figure it out completely within a day or two and it includes most of the things that one needs on a day to day basis.
But, for more serious work after the initial break in period, there's definitely better choices.
I don't think anybody really knew how good OSX was going to be. Well that and I don't think anybody knew how long it was going to take MS to release their follow up to XP.
Most of MS' problems stem from arrogance and a lack of competent leadership. Rather than focusing on making things stable and reliable during the late 90s, they spent a lot of resources trying to reinvent the desktop, when really they weren't doing a particularly good job with the basics.
I'd seriously like to know what they were thinking with Clippy and the active desktop.
Considering what the folks at OnLive have been able to achieve, they can already do that if they want to. I think the point is that Photoshop over the web isn't really that desirable. The latency is a real headache, and then you have to worry downloading those massive files to your hard drive.
Which is to say that the main thing holding it up is the fact that bandwidth hasn't been increasing as fast as it was during the late 90s. Were it to kick off like that again that would likely change. But downloading images where a single file is hundreds of megabytes or more is taxing on current internet connections.

People cite Fox News commentators as news, this sounds a hundred times worse than that.

GoG That's probably the best bet. Although some people do whine about that PR stunt and some of their bugs.

Bullshit. It's been established case law since the 30s that the federal government can in fact do so under the interstate commerce authority.
