24 FPS ought to be enough for everybody....

Agreed. I used to bitch at people buying digital only assets (ITunes, I'm looking at you) as a no win situation. Steam is all the opposite of that. They get insane rebates you'll never see in stores. They let you play offline, redownload countless times, they have automated patching of games which is worth gold, gone are the days of waiting on gamespy servers and going through hoops becasue the publishers will make you go to shady ad infested download sites with their "wait half an hour or pay for a gold memebership" crap. They even have plus values such as notification of new video cards drivers and it can even patch it for you (opt-in) The only thing I hate is that I can't be logged in from several computer at once on the same account, I could play a game on my pc while my gf plays one on my laptop...I guess shared accounts would be a rampant problem. I used to hate the very idea of it...but getting top notch games for under 20$ helped me cope.

Don't worry, they will bring in a league system with matchmaking when it's final. The elitist assholes will be able to bitch at each other while noobs play friendly in the brown leagues.

Decreasing enrollment stats don't come from managers...

A welding thingie I'd guess

I keep reading that the IT field is going to face a shorting of ressources soon, because enlisting rates and numbers keep dwindling in the universities and colleges.

Should be judged as unlistenable too. Sometimes some novelty just tries too hard

I want in!! pm me if you have spare invites, I really want to try this.

I have a grayscale 4th gen ipod, and I always hated the fact that I need it managed by some sort of library. I think the best way to use the player is like a usb key that has an embedded player. Rockbox made me happy except for the fact that it would crash or freeze on average 3 times in an hour of continuous play. I had to revert back to apple's crappy firmware after 6 months because of instability. I know I'd prefer to use rockbox but it really needs improving. It's been something like 2 years since I stopped using it, can anyone tell me if I should try it again?

As we say in French, get bent! ..!..
