I'd be interested to see in how the rental money is divided up once it's lifted off your credit card. Perhaps a larger portion of that will go directly into the hands of the designers as opposed going into Blockbuster's pocket. If that's the case, then a pricing structure similar to or slightly cheaper than any current rental service may suffice.

I ran into that snag the one time I tried to get onto a McD's wifi too. Must be on a per-franchise basis or something.

A lot of great PC games were even more successful than they otherwise might have been because they opened themselves up to the mod community.

While that may be true, it's irrelevant to this story. Chrono Trigger has never been a PC game and is already highly successful both in terms of sales and its influence on the console RPG market. The brand never has and never will need the "help" of the mod community or fangame creators.

I don't think he's supposed to be Japanese, just Asian.

Who do you talk to, people who go to Trek conventions dressed in full Klingon gear? It was a damn good addition to a series that's been in the shitter since 1996.

Decide for yourself on this one... imo.

Science fiction. Not science reality.

A good SSD will whoop many high-end platter drives even after the one-time speed decrease. Anandtech went over this a few months back. The reasons you should stick with platters is because they're cheaper per gigabyte, not because they're "tried and true". (I don't even really know about the "true" part, after all hard drives are the first thing that'll take a shit on most computers anyway.)

Well that's certainly an interesting

?!

I'm not really into NIN but I watched the Youtube video explaining what the app is. This is something Apple should be promoting because it does a pretty good job of taking advantage of the platform's capabilities - not suppressing because it contains a reference to a 15-year old album.

Because this is Slashdot, not Consumerist. The question was what to do with the broken laptop, not how to make the situation right between the OP and the airline.

Didn't that used to happen at brick and motor stores as well?

Nice work sneaking a car analogy into the discussion!

Beggars can't be choosers. 2 meg is an upgrade for a lot of folks.

I was in TimesSquare/Arcade myself. For as much as Geocities gets knocked on, back in 1996 that was one of the places a 16 year old kid could get 2MB on the web to call his own. It was my start in writing HTML code and now I'm a full-time web developer. RIP.
