Reason being, companies want to squeeze the maximum possible revenue out of every individual region. This is why some products are more expensive than the US in Europe but cheaper in say China or India. People get a stronger sense of unfairness when it's something like an mp3 or movie and they pay more for the same digital bits transferred from the same server.
ignorance is allowed because it breeds fear like rotting meat breeds maggots.
Flies breed Maggots. I'm a bit concerned about the content of your father's 'birds and bees' discussion. I think you misunderstood the part about putting the meat in.
Interesting that Nintendo choose this path for handheld though. They understand the adantages of the "sell huge volumes of low-tech games on cheap hardware" from their console endeavours.
Because 'turbo' is actually a misnomer. It's really a 'go slow' button that's on most of the time. In days gone by it was added to new PCs to aid compatibility with much older software that used the processer clock speed in timing operations, like cursor blink rate and so on. Your new zippy 100Mhz 486 could be switched to run at 25MHz or whatever.
It follows that the homebrew SNES would have hardware that is way more powerful than necessary. It would normally be in in 'slow' mode and only fully unleashed when you pressed the 'turbo' button.
Funny you say that, but in the past I had a small electric shock from a broken USB port. I suppose because the voltage is 5V, this could never be serious but the electricians can tell us about that.
What's with the 'This.' meme on Slashdot recently? It's totally pointless filler and a redundant word, sentence and paragraph all in one. Well done there.
Seen this video few years ago - definitely a scam.
How is that possible? Crysis 2, featured in the video, was only released this year. I'm not saying this ISN'T a scam or that you might have see a similar video, but you did not see THIS video a few years ago.
If you want to avoid your ISP's tomfoolery, use a VPN. Giganews provide one with their platinum package. When I use the VPN, it gets round my ISPs bandwidth throttling and I get 1000% faster download speeds.
By leap-frogging the ISP like this, you can work around some of the bullshit.
If anything, Catacomb 3D was more like the beginning. But, ID was just ripping off the still-in-development Ultima Underworld. That game in turn borrowed a lot from the 'stepped' real-time 3D dungeon games like Dungeon Master and Eye of the Beholder.
The Sun is right wing but they have no loyalty. UK politicians are historically very scared of The Sun and rightly so. In many cases, the party they back goes on to win the election. That's why David Cameron met senior News Corp executives many times before and after the election. It's very important to keep them happy.
To give News Corp even more control over the British media (if it had been allowed to buy British Sky Broadcasting) would make the situation even worse. Thankfully now there are murmurings in among UK politicians to break up News Corps existing controls of British media.

Sorry, but who in the developed world cares about WAP anymore? If you have a smart phone, you want HTML5, clearly not WAP.

I think I would change that to the following:
For others, especially older viewers for some reason, a plot is prerequisite for enjoyability.
Exactly. But, anything short of "rusty dildo user on mouse button 3" and I'm still going to buy it. Sorry.

But there's the catch. These aren't 'working poor', they're feckless poor. There's a difference.
Haha, thank you so much. That really made my morning. :)

As the right honorable Reverend Lionel Preacherbot said:
She's probably just looking forward to boring the shit out of the 'people gathered here today' with her inane vows.
I think Dr Sbaitso was the only doctor that ever actually listened to me. Sad really.

Maybe they got sick of people whining along the lines of "but this isn't news for nerds!"
Whatever you say Oedipus.
You mean the thing which was down for a month because it's so insecure?
Well, that may be true but at least they treat their customers better than Sony.

Don't need it, we already have Whinecraft.
It's good to see them getting a taste of their own medicine.
