Those danish sockets just seem so happy to help you out with your power needs while grounded NEMA are shocked at the audacity you have to jam metal into them.
Master of Orion: MOO 1 & 2 were great but 3 was horrible. There are clones out there but they are about as fun as compiling a kernel.
Turrican: The Amiga version of Turrican II was one of the better games made for the system. A 3D version was being created but was abandoned by Factor 5. We don't need another FPS version but I would love to see Turrican II remade or extended using the look of a game like Trine.
X-Wing / Tie Fighter: Space flight combat is great and there are still games being made, even MMOs like Jumpgate Evolution yet I would love to see X-Wing rendered with modern graphics and not using a MIDI sound track. Network play would be a welcome addition too. Co-op or VS where your goal is to protect a frigate while the opposition has to destroy it.
Kudos to the mod that labeled this "Funny".
You are right, BD-R is far too expensive. $114 for 10x50GB Disks. They are 4x so my whole primary partition would take just under 4.5 hours to backup including swapping discs.
Or I can write to my $85 1TB external drive sitting in a $30 eSATA enclosure for the same cost but in about 3 hours with no swapping.
BD-R DL is WAY too expensive and clumsy to be a viable solution. If the disks were 250GB and 500GB it might be reasonable even with the cost premium but not as they are.
I can never seem to see lunar craters correctly. They always look like domes to me.
The site I run is attractive to older crowds so I expect it to move with the speed of frozen molassas. Here are some numbers with a sum total of all versions for each:
May 2009
MSIE: 70%
Firefox: 23%
Safari: 6%
Chrome: Just shy of 1%
Opera: 8 users.
Lynx: 1 - Who the heck is that?
June 2009
MSIE: 69%
Firefox: 24%
Rest unchanged.
Most DVD players will accept pushing "Menu" at any time and just jump to the disc menu and thus skip the unskippable stuff. I say most as my roommate's JVC DVD player won't allow it but my Sony does.
I purchased a S9 only a week ago. The screen is indeed quite good. I would love for it to be just a little brighter but it's pretty close to perfect. Blacks are black and the colour doesn't shift at all while tilting it thanks to the AMOLED screen.
When I saw the Zune HD I thought "Huh, it's a S9 with a HD radio tuner and more restrictions on media". I wonder how the battery life is, the S9 is unreal. I've played just shy of 10 hours of divx media on it. I've not tested the audio life but people claim that it is 5x longer than video.
With the worries of security I'm shocked at the number of people that use 4 digits for a bank PIN. Mine varies between 10 to 14 digits. Yes I change it every-so-often. I believe the limit on Plus / Interac compatible banks is 16 digits.
I used to work at a coffeeshop and at least 85% of the customers used a 4 digit pin. I know this because the pad went BLEEP for every key push. Just count the bleeps.
I played WoW a lot. To the point of being unhealthy a few times. How did I get away from it? I cheated.
MMOs are hard to cheat at but a friend an I found a world emulator that was about 95% accurate. We spent the next week going everywhere, doing everything, getting everything. We made custom weapons/armour that made us walking gods. We set Illidan in a duel with Ragnaros. We swapped models so that we looked like Magmadar or C'Thun.
After a while we got bored and tried the normal game. It sucked. We couldn't one-shot things. Gold took hours/days to accumulate. Everything just seemed so tedious.
I went for three months without playing. I picked up WotLK and played for a week and got bored. I uninstalled it and haven't thought about it since.

Two BIG reasons why a phone will never kill a remote.
Phone: Needs charged every 2-3 days.
Remote: Needs new batteries every 12-18 months.
Phone: People often take phones with them to places like work, thus taking your 'remote'.
Remote: Why on Earth would you take a remote to work?
