I would say that Invisible was decent. Comparing "decent" to the original Deus Ex is like comparing a nice steak to a frozen pizza. I like both, but given the choice, the pizza looks pretty bad.

Were you using component cables and had the video set for 480p? With the Componet cables and 480p it looks pretty good to me. Not like my PS3 but pretty good. Metriod, Smash Brothers, and Punch Out look good for only 2x the hardware of a Gamecube.

I believe this should be a look and feel issue, which is usually related to copyright. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look_and_feel
If you built a new fakeBay site using all new code, but the same functionality, I do not think it should be a patent issue.

I found the same issue with a slot cooler way back when I had a Radeon 9800. However, I found that leaving an empty slot between the cooler and the video card did make it 5 degrees celsius cooler under load. Worked great if you don't need the slots.

There are plenty of companies that offer a database like this. I believe CCH is one of them. I've used one to integrate into a web shopping cart application because the company I was working for had a nexus in several states.

Do you use Process Explorer? Running Process Explorer and even after closing it triggered something in SecuROM that would prevent Heroes V from running. Newer versions of Process Explorer do not cause the issue though.

My favorite story is when I first showed my mom how to use a mouse. She wanted the cursor to go up on the screen so she lifted the mouse off the pad.
It kind of made sense if you hadn't used a mouse before, but it was still hilarious.
Submission + - RIAA slams FAIR USE Act
Tyler Too writes: The RIAA has weighed in on the just-introduced FAIR USE Act, and to no one's surprise, they're not at all happy with it. 'The FAIR USE Act "would repeal the DMCA and legalize hacking," says the RIAA. "It would reverse the Supreme Court's decision in Grokster and allow electronics companies to induce others to break the law for their own profit."' Looks like the CEA's lobbyists and the RIAA's lobbyists will be battling it out on Capitol Hill.
