and I guess eSATA(n) is out too... wonder what the safe way to attach external storage devices is.

I remember when the same sort of crazies were going around proclaiming UNIX was evil because it was full of daemons and used the secret code "chmod 666" on your files...

I suppose. You could apply the same logic that defines "high speed" internet in the US and come to that conclusion also.

Yes, but they don't exactly qualify as "High Speed".

Oh believe me I do know, I've taken them many times. A descriptor I would not use for them is "high speed" though... I think half of a lot of the trips were spent cruising slowly through residential areas or stopped waiting for freight traffic.

That said I still prefer it to flying... it just takes too long given the speeds, track sharing and the whole having to use Chicago as a central hub thing.

You obviously don't travel in the states...

I'd be curious to see information stating the Pro panels are IPS screens. I had a pre-unibody pro and it definitely had a TN display. Given it was good for a TN. My iMac has one also and it's much nicer than the cheap TNs you can buy otherwise, but next to my Dell IPS panel there is no comparison.

This is exactly when I delete the app and give it a one star review. Quite convenient they give you that option while deleting an app.

If they're going to give me a free or "lite" app, don't jack me around later and try to turn me into a revenue model. Make a game good enough Im willing to pay a few bucks for the full version

Previous Starcraft games already implemented what you are talking about. You had to have a legitimate serial number to connect to battle.net and play online. It prevented pirates from playing online in any of their servers which would involve any competitions and the like. Sure (just like with SC2) they could create a reverse engineered server and play online, or they could do LAN or local play... I don't see this method decreasing piracy significantly, especially not as significantly as it'll decrease actual paying customers. Without LAN play I have no interest in the game when I was previously looking quite forward to it. Especially if I have to be online to take part in solo offline campaigns.

Because he wasn't flaming an Apple product of course! This is slashdot! You're either a fanboy or an anti-fanboy! ;)

Ahh how I wish I still had an old IIsi just for nostalgia. My oldest current box is a Color Classic. Before I got married a few years back I had a Mac 512k though... kicking myself every so often for not keeping it.

I bet it'd beat out AT&T's 3G network as well ;)

Some of us still think playing FPS and 3rd person games with a gamepad is awkward and horribly inaccurate.

I played the demo of RE5 and I STILL hate the controls on the console. The one that did it best was RE4 on the Wii. No RE5 there though, and it'd be butchered graphically if it was.

Funny... thats exactly what I use e-mail for on my phone... gives the added benefit of having it on a computer too to reuse. Also doesnt cost me an additional fee a month or per message...

Now I can exceed my "realistic" 20gb cap in ~40 seconds...

"The #1 movie in America was called "Ass." And that's what it was. For 90 minutes. It won four Oscars that year, including best screenplay."

I give it a few more years or so...
