a $3 cheaper price is different than a significantly higher price like some were claiming. if you like we'll get ahold of newegg and get them to put the price up to make you happier.
Your comment is crap. As someone pointed out above and before you, the CPU is available $3 cheaper at newegg, the rest of what you said is automatically null and void.
The game is extremely poor for FPS and RTS type of games. Heck someone built tetris there and runs like ass. I think you're better off producing quality elsewhere and shopping it around. A single success doesn't really set any kind of precedent.
I wrote the previous heritage person last year when I found out that several companies were lobbying under the guise of "saving canadians from another tax" to remove the media tax and turn us all into criminals and make lawsuits easier. At that time they didn't seemed at all inclined to buy into it. I'm not sure how the current indivdiuals are operating. They don't seem foolish enough to go down the american slippery slope and I think thats one thing we have going for our government. Anytime something comes up that would make us "more american" they seem to get pretty leery.
pirated copies can easily be upgraded to SP2, what rock have you been living under? Only copies using that one well known key cannot be upgraded to SP2, but install any other non-legit key on them and they can easily be upgraded to SP2. There are even great generators out there that will spend time generating keys and testing them to see if they'll pass to be used.
I see no problem in tagging VOIP data used by emergency services and giving it priority over google, but that should be the end of it. Everything else will be on a level playing field and private companies cannot dictate any special traffic beyond that.
Work together people - let's vote with our wallets, the way free enterprise is supposed to work! unfortunately the biggest part of society is the sheep and what the fringe does has no real effect on the market.
Nobody would have predicted that most people would now take pictures by holding the camera out in front of them and look at the preview screen to frame a shot because these people look foolish...
These pads are for the Xbox. There are of course the PS2 verities as well. But the reason we chose the Xbox version was for the super easy ability to plug into a USB port on a PC. Just a simple converter is required and allows for pc play for free via step mania.
Which is the same reason you can choose a PS2 one... there are plenty of PS2 to USB connectors available that work fine with dancepads.
Did the video creator get mod points? How is this off-topic? Its pertinent information about the performance of this site, which many people seem to be experiencing problems with.
While the vidoe was viewable under the above conditions, thats all my browser could do. All my other pages became inaccessable, and all I could see after minimizing and restoring the browser was just the video. Once the video ended my browser returned to normal operation.
Following a payment is a lot easier than following a spam e-mail.
When spammers send out e-mails they're not looking for respones, and don't particularly care if people can get back to them. They're pointing them to websites.
This guy was probably taking payment online via some online system. Depending where its based, its possible they could get the records and track this guy down.
Has this guy been arrested? It shouldn't have taken a genius law enforcement officer to make a payment for this and track it and then pick the guy up?

I had this happen last summer sort of. I received someone else's merchandise. The seller apologized, sent me the postage (plus a little) via paypal and had me post the item to the buyer. My item had actually been posted to me as well and it arrived a day later.
except you might not have any evidence he's a teetotaller. Just because he wasn't drinking when he crashed into the pier doesn't mean he's a teetotallar and it doesn't mean it was his one sober day, but it could be a pertinent fact though as many people might assume that someone who would do that might be drunk at the time.

This person was really bad. Initially they claimed not to have received the letter. I called their local post office (small post office) and spoke with the delivery man, yup they got it, he remembered scanning it at the door because it was an out of country envelope.
So now the guy claims that sometimes he loses mail, he says he'll start digging around the porch/etc. Can't find it, big mystery.
30 days later when I can send to the post office to get the receipt back, I do so, and it comes back. Cashed the day it arrived, with the signature on it, and cahsed at a very exclusive credit union. You have to belong to a specific worker's union to have an account there I found out.
Thats when they stop responding to e-mails. I call them and there is suddenly no answer ever on the phone. I'm told by the other people I end up talking to who got ripped off by them, that when they did get someone to pick up there, these people put their child on the phone and told them to lie about wrong numbers/no one there/etc.
So I contact the police in that town (Niles, Ohio) and they tell me because the check was cashed in Howland its their problem. I called the police station there and talk to a guy who takes all the info. I send him scans of the signed money order, auction pages, receipts, tracking number on the letter, etc. To me, there has gotta be cameras at the credit union. This should have been a 15 minute job. Goto the bank, have them check the tapes, go make a housecall, arrest them, end of story.
A couple days later I notice on their feedback 2 new negative scores calling htem thieves (these people had been on ebay for over 2 years, never a negative feedback, but a few neutrals for "slow shipping") since I'd validated a CC with ebay I was able to send them messages. Exchanged info gave them the e-mail of the cop I was talking to, found out one of them had been tlaking to a detective in Niles, I think the same one who told me to call Howland, he should have taken my info to find out it was the same people and maybe realized something bigger was going on.
This all happened (the bulk of it, last October). I wrote the Howland officer last night, maybe he'll finally have an update for me.

Who will they blame? If they don't have P2P who will they blame for all their crap they produce?
This article has to be a joke.

I'd like to see a list of exactly which government officials attended this.

you only need an x1600 or higher for the physics card. $126.99 CAD on TD, thats a little cheaper that the PhysX card.
Which is the same reason you can choose a PS2 one... there are plenty of PS2 to USB connectors available that work fine with dancepads.

Who makes a non-T&L chip in 2006?
people marketing a computer for business use?
Business doesn't need T&L. Its sole purpose is for gaming.
this is why the boys in the data entry department are getting Dimension 1100s and not XPS 9,000,000s
q-tips arne't supposed to be used in the ear canal, ask any doctor.
They're used for cleaning the exterior of the ear.
by rendering the equipment non-working by covering it in paint, I'm sure they wont' have too much of a problem making a case for damaging it.
but if you want to go ahead and give it a shot let us know how it goes.
so we make it a priority by driving them nuts with complaints until they have no choice but to address it ;)
Speeds advertised are often optimal speeds for people living across the street from their local connection point.
As distance increases DSL speeds drop. For Cable when usage is up, speed drops.
for me, I pay for 2.5 Mbit connection and I get around 2.1 Mbit. I'm not on top of the hub, but I'm pretty close.
if you're getting speeds that low, its likely because you live a great distance or away or you may be having other line problems.
