You think they would have tried it out first before making the update available.

Well, it was written by Gary Whitta, former editor of PC Gamer US, and I am very, very sure he has played Fallout 3, though the scenery would be a choice made more by the director, location scout, producers, etc.

Something I cannot understand is why terminals with highly sensitive information on them are allowed to be connected to the internet is beyond me. Intranets people! Mistakes like this do not happen if the user terminals are not connected to the internet.

Considering how it failed even the 500W test, it is an even more hopeless piece of crap than the hidden 550W label implies.

First-sale doctrines protect that (see NEBG v Weinstei) dvds from re-sale and rentals, and the copyright owner can do nothing to prevent it.

Hate to go all stupid, but I own a Creative player, and an iPod 4g 20GB (which I replaced the hard drive died two years after I got it used). Except for the playing of videos and FM radio, the Creative player is inferior to the iPod I had. The software UI, hardware controls, management software...

Nothing, except for the very good integration between iTunes as a purchasing program and a music managing program to work with the iPod. I have a Creative Zen thingy, and the software that it comes with is horrible. It plays unprotected AAC files (so it would already play DRM-Free iTunes Plus...

Do you have any plans on releasing a high capacity 3.5" MLC SSD?

All downloads are digital...

I hope that was the cheap stuff, no good wasting $2 for a pour like that. Might as well only piss away $1 beers.

What about simply putting an ultra-large hard drive into the thing, and then "installing" games when you bring them home? You can use any kind of optical disk storage you want. You could even when you buy your "720" have it come with a special "game installer" (aka: proprietary hard drive or...

It seems that they added banners and cloth things, for the sake of adding banners and cloth things. I can't say that I am impressed.

It also comes with a black magic marker that you can use to draw lines around the outside of the disk to help reduce light scattering through the polycarbonate and therefore jitter.... Right. While the CD lathe is useless for audio playback, it might actually be useful for high-speed...

EVE-Online. Spaceships instead of trolls.

WTF are buckcherry? And would anyone even talk about them if it wasn't for a press release from Atlantic?

I've been using Vista for the better part of 3 months up from XP (free vendor copies ftw!) I'm not impressed. It doesn't "feel" like anything "new" was done beyond making it look pretty, as almost all of the improvements are under the hood. Instant-search I find useless (as it only caches...

I don't know, BOB was a bigger flop than Vista. Or you can go XP+OpenOffice Ever hear of Mono? It's mostly compatible with .NET

DX11? Yawn. Well, DX10 didn't add any *new* features that couldn't be done in DX9, just the ability to do more of them, with less overhead per operation. Perhaps this is where new things actually get added to DX11? The changes from DX9.0a-c were probably enough to offer a new version of...

Yeah, that's library and business stuff. At home I had a bunch of problems with people screwing aroudn with system settings on the family computer. To solve it, I uninstalled Windows 2000, installed XP used the quick-user switch, and made only myself an administrator. Everyone else is just...

They already have one ... it's called "parental controls" and I know that the 360 and Wii both have them, and I'm sure the PS3 does as well, based on the ESRB rating of the game encoded into the game disk itself. If I understand how it works correctly. Of course, which political appointees...

Why would anyone in their right mind pirate Symantec of McAfee anti-virus products? Might as well if you're going to pirate something, pirate a good antivirus product And WS_FTP wouldn't be pirated as much if they still had the 'lite' version available for free.

No security patches, but apparently they are releasing several critical non-security updates.

First- I did a seach of the forums, I found nothing of any help to my particular situation (though I'm bad at using non-google searching) I have a computer, with an acomdata external firewire hard drive, and almost every time I do any kind of data transfer, while running multimedia tasks, on or...

FF stops responding [program hard-locking, windows works fine, CPU% goes up to 90% or so and stays there for 5 mins at a time) for no reason that I can find. The sites may have flash but thats it. It is entirely not reproducable (I have been unable to do so), after I ctrl+alt+del it, restart it...

FF2.0 has crashed more for me then 1.5, however I did not do a clean install, and I re-installed with a different language then what I had. (1.5EN-US, 2.0EN-US, 2.0EN-UK). I'm going to uninstall then reinstall, see if it fixes it. On my other PC, I have not had any crashing problems like on this...
