I am honestly curious how this will hit. How are current owners going to react to their controllers now being 'obsolete'. Will we see the rumble controllers packed with new systems? Patches for old games that don't have rumble?
umm, poking through VGChartz, it looks like the 360 is dominating....
only in France is it beign beaten, and that is from the Wii. In only one or 2 other areas have the Wii rapidly gaining on it, but in all of them the PS3 is failing horribly.
TBH, I I don't really know how much I trust VG Chartz,but as they are one of the few seamingly unbiased sources, I guess we ahve to trust them....
Oh, 2 centso n actual article? Hype is powering the Wii (Why I have one, and only 3 games). Hype WAS powerign the PS3, however now price is killing it. The 360 is beign powered by: 1) An early start. 2) More good games, including a few 'killer apps' (this is probably related to 1) 3) A reasonable price. 4) Online capaility. (Yes, the PS3 has it, but no one realyl uses it, and the Wii is still lackign outside of Japan, and even there, only 1 game I think).
It doesn't really matter how many games Sony can toss out. If they can't get a Killer App out there, it will all be for naught. The next FF might do it (The FF Fan Boys will probably be willing to shill out the $$ just to get the next one). This is assumign they havn't already bought the PS3, thoguh I personaly think that a number of them are either waitign for a price break (and one has now been announced), and/or skrimping and saving.
Oh, and this is also going to go for the Wii. They have the install base, but they don't really have any Killer App (they have a number of good games, but nothing Killer).
Actualy there is a strong precedent that evidence is evidence, so long as it was neither the govn't, or some one working for them, it is 100% admisable no matter how it was obtained.
In all honesty I agree with this precedent. Of course I also think that they should try their hardest to find and prosecute the person that found the stuff in the first place.
At $60 you can get a prepaid cammera phone (snapper) from virgin mobile (you can probably get a deal if you buy it in a store) At $0 you can get a bluetooth, camera phone (MotoV551) from Cingular with a 2yr contract.
Camera phones are cheap these days, I actualy didn't want one, but got oen any way as a free bluetooth phone was tempting (yay for easy data transfers). Admitedly bluetooth is such a cheap technology that they should just put it any any phone...
If you can get halbreeds I would say they are a race and not a species, if you can't, then they probably are different. And if you can get a Human/Dwarf or a Human/Elf, but not a Dwarf/Elf, then what are they? (Take Shadowrun, I would call orcs/trolls/dwarves the same race as humans, after all they did come from them, however elves are probably different)
We use race because it is the term we are all familiar with, and some of the big names way back when used the term and it stuck.
Blog about it, too. Make sure potential customers of theirs know how they treat their employees.
He did: I work at a large hosting company in Texas, and recently decided to go work for a smaller competitor
The fact that he wrote this as AC kinda makes me want to scream sour grapes or an attempt at a smear. Hell, if you want you can see the name of the guy who served up the news that they were going to sue him.
Alot of the stuff in personalized google is the same type of stuff on my yahoo. Sure it might not look as pretty (personaly I think it looks beter), but I find it to be fulyl functional.
I have up on mine a random game,/., Ruters, a wiki search box, my email, weather, and that is about all I want.
If I want sometihng else you can just add in the RSS feed.
So here here is a link to Audio Games. I first found out about them from an NPR spot. What they are doing is realyl awsome, a great place to start looking into them is at Drive, a driving game with no visuals.
they don't even have to pick it up when they buy the new game, if GS can get the idea of "We LOVE to take your used games" into customers they are more likely to come back with the game they bought from GS and turn it back for credit to a new game.
Admitedly this type of customer would be better served by a company like Gamefly (either buyign used games for much less then GS sells them for, or just putting down the $20+ a month and having games when ever you want)
If I remember, a large point is that the vista one does NOT need training (this is not actualy all that new, there have been voice recognition things that don't need training for a little while now).
After all, training voice recognition software is long, tedius, and often pointless. The best thing I ever did with one was intentionaly training it horribly (readign something else instead of the text they gave me), and then seeing what would happen. (It wasn't all that interesting in all honesty)
And it is people like you that let people like me keep on stealing servers!
muahahahahaha!
Actualy, the idea the gpp put up is a horrible one. An imporptu 'drill' (espcialy one that gets the cops involved) will get you fired, and possibly in legal problems.
The better way of doing this is to write up a GOOD report, and explain the probability of such things happening.
Ofcourse, as the PP pointed out, when most techies talk about security, they are not reffering to physical security, they are reffering to everything else.
shouldn't that also include any recovery soloutions that are part of a security soloution? (Forinstance the time to respond to a DDOS or how long it takes to pull your servers out of the slag heap they were turned into)
Lightbulbs are not efficent heaters, nor are computers (despite what I try and claim). You are much better off useing dedicated heating sources that are designed to be an efficent use of energy, and dedicated light sources that are designed to be efficent as well.
my family has been ussing them (not exclusivly, but in most places) since the late 80s I think.
However I have a few questions: 1) any one got some actualy information on the bill? (TFA is rather light on details...) 2) What about Flourecents and other types of bulbs? How efficent are they? Will this bill say anything about them?
And that is why I am all for things like that in games like EVE, and why I would never play EVE (far to cut throat for my idea of fun). So long as you don't break any laws, go wild! Heck, a number of social engineering scams in EVE have involved contact outside of the game (down to actual phone calls), so why not use legal methods to find out about these conversations?
Ofcourse, if you do break any laws, then, well you are breaking a law, nuff said.
Slashdot Mirror
yes, and this is them eating crow.
Again.

ebay would basicly be the middle man in this.
And in second life the ingame cash has a real world value (if I remember correctly), and thus that would be income/investments/net worth.
All this is doing is enforcing income tax. They sell something for $$, and the govn't taxes the transaction.

Meh, it all boils down to wait and see.
ummm.
the 18 raiting in the UK/Aus/other places seems to line up with the M raiting in the US.
M is 17+
AO is Adults Only, aka what would get not rated (and thus be illegal to sell, aka banned) is the UK and AUS and other such countries.
Oh, and Manhunt 2 is atm not being rated in the UK, and thus will not be released unless they win their apeals.
It would be more akin to setting up a machine that will make a duplicate copy of the book and then leavign it out in the hallway.
Sure, he isn't actualy handing them out, and he didn't even make the copies himself. HOWEVER he is implicitly offering other people to make a copy.
As for the "well, it was only for my own use" the response is that you should have password protected it.
I hate the RIAA as much as the next person. But relatively silly arguents hold no water to me either.
because we already are familiar with just how horrible CafePress is. And most people don't use them for lots of different reasons.
Now flickr.
Flickr is a huge, incredibly popular website. Somethign like that is more important.
Am I the only one disapointed that this article is NOT about MS Paint havign some, previously unkown, abilities to secure a network?
cmon, it is one of MS's best programs yet after all...

Yah, I am fully with you on that!
GH on the Wii has been on of my homes for a long time now, and I JUST managed to order a Wii from CC today, so I am a very happy camper atm.
*grumble*
:)
just had to go and rub my nose in it didn't you!
Oh, and I am honestly surprised at the delay, I thought they had alread had their delays.
Oh well, Fanboy wishful thinking again.
By then I will probably even have managed to get my hands on a Wii.
heh

Personalized google, just incase you were not beign sarcastic.
Admitedly some poeple seem to have problems where it signes them out every time, though I don't have aid problem.

If you computer starts spitting out voice commands, just create another sound that will interupt it.
Admitedly all I can think of is the Dilbert cartoon with Wally getting ticked at Dilbert having voice driven software.
And it is people like you that let people like me keep on stealing servers!
