I spent 2 hours trying to get GOW2 playing on my 2 ps2's. Both lasers gave out after 6 months, and I will not buy another one. I hate sony, and i wish they would go the way of sega, giving their good first party software to MS, or some other company.
If someone manages to get homebrew games running on the PS3, will there be firmware updates to stop this kind of development, to protect your software developers, or is homebrew something you are planning on and even encouraging? How does this strategy differ from your strategy with PSP homebrew?
NPR is more balanced than any other Newsmedia in the U.S. You want left leaning, go listen to Democracy now. It's funny, because as the nation swings left and right, NPR is perceived as right or left, respectively. During the clinton impeachment, many were arguing about how npr had swung right.
And the underwriting. Get over it. Talking about Merc doesn't make me want pills. At least it's not "go buy a sandwich from mcdonalds!"
Looks like we just found the crop for the whole "biofuel" thing for Americans without upsetting anybody, because the damn stuff is inedible. Why not modify it further to make the corn grow in 1 week in a test tube, and our oil problems will be solved!
Wouldn't it be possible to record simultaneously on both computers, recording high quality audio, but listen to each other on the phone or VOIP or teamspeak or one of the other options listed here? Then, you can transfer the high quality audio to a single computer and multi-track the high quality audio.
I don't think you should use the word "logic" in that statement...
Unless you say "Follow that to its logical fallacy of slippery slope, and we should all be playing pong"
When the PS3 has dropped in price, the controller has added rumble, this game will finally come out. Don't expect it anytime soon. Models and environments are easily downscalable (see PSP version) which will be out soon, but the PS3 version will take a while.
Wait a minute. I thought the "silver" version was for demos and online access, and store purchases, but no online gaming.. Why T. Eff. would a computer need a "silver" service?!?! My computer does these things just fine already, thanks. Am I missing something here? I don't care about tracking "achievements" over several different games. Why would i? Oh look, i beat halo 2 two years ago, and now I'm playing WoW. What a diverse and complete gamer profile i have!
Blech. Keep your XBL off my computer.
P.S. A little OT, but the "leaked" NIN songs that are hitting the internets were found on jump drives in places where NIN was coming on Tour, and "rebel" stations are playing some of the songs early, "we'll show those record companies".
It is more logical to believe there is a God when our genetics make up everything we are, and therefore were created by God.
It's illogical to think that there is no God when everything in the world points towards one
What? Genetics point to an all-knowing, all-loving, all-punishing other-dimension being? That's news to me!

My CF in my house turn on instantly, 95% bright. The cheaper ones (in the less used rooms) were the cheaper kind that are full bright in 30 seconds, and you get used to it. The amount of electricity to get a lightbulb running is something negligable.
The most important thing that I think Austrailia is leaving out is Disposal of CFs. They have Mercury in them, and when they break, they can cause birth defects or cause infants to get sick. If they don't have a way to dispose of these (America doesn't yet either) then our garbage cans will need to get ready to be highly toxic areas (lightbulbs generally break when you throw them away).
I thought "neocons" were barry Goldwater conservatives, people who watched what democrats were supposed to do after segregation ended in the 60's and 70's, and failed. So they feel that through demonstration of a strong army (by using it) and threatening other countries and war and conflict is the oil (forgive the puN) that greases this country and keeps it going. After the cold war ended, the neocons needed a new threat, hence the focus on terrorism and how much it is going to kill us all.
Yeah, But no one seems really surprised or sad about the delay. I think Valve puts out strong enough products that everyone understands the delays. I'd rather have this game at the end of the year instead of a game that is just cashing in and sucks.
This also allows for the hype machine to swirl over a long amount of time, constantly building anticipation. With how formulaic Vavle's delays are, I wonder if they are just a marketing scheme.
I'm sure this is the case. If i was a record company (heaven forbid) I wouldn't want to have to peruse the iTunes website constantly to make sure apple was keeping up with the DRM on MY songs. It's easier for them just to lock down all the songs. Perhaps Apple could create another store with no DRM, but that's another story.
I'm sorry, but there are people out there who don't want to be stuck to an iPod (many/.ers) so they don't shop on iTunes, because they know better. But i would think that a lot (majority) of people who buy on iTunes don't give a damn if they have to use an iPod for the rest of their lives to keep those songs they bought. They want something to play their music, they like their iPod, so they see no reason to switch to another music player.
I got a $250 Acer (i know i know, i'll hang my head in shame) from circuit city, threw a 7600gt ($100), and 1.5 gigs of ram in it($100 for the extra gig), and I can run oblivion at near/at highest quality. Congrats PS3, you've matched a $450 PC!
Sorry dude, but 70% of music not being available through your store isn't exactly the best way to get people to shop there. the iTunes store would have flopped without this, I mean, look at the competetors to iTunes that are DRM free. Minor, minor marketshare.
I look at this essay as a major step, the owner of the largest online music store stepping out into public and saying, "Ok music industry, It's your turn to let go now." I hope that iTunes takes a allofmp3 approach, but on a scale that is sustainable (for the musicians and those involved). Charge me with size of file, and let me pick ogg, mp3, aac, or whatever the hell I want at whatever bitrate I want, and I'll pay $1 a song.
No, go rent (or buy) Ninja Gaiden Black and hook your Xbox up with component cables. Game looks as good or better than any next gen game i've seen (I haven't seen gears in action yet:P)
I'm continually shocked at the wonderful readers of/.. I've never seen so many people fight against global warming so hard. Global warming threads always generate a whole lot of comments of "funding science = bias". Right.
What is it about half of you/.'ers that have such a hard time understanding science? Are you the same people who talk about how PS3 will pwn the world? Do all of you only believe corporations? Personally, i've never found a reason to trust a corporation.

You don't have to Rerip to mp3's from itunes. You can rip directly to mp3 (preferences).

The Worst part (that you left out) is that there is a huge problem with companies "shelving" bands. Works like this:
Find any band that sounds like one of your premade bands (but is probably better)
Sign them into an explotative contract (that they cant get out of)
Record their album (like it says in the contract)
Shelf it and never release it (so they don't compete with your premade band)
This happens enough to be scary.
