You know the new games would be more interesting if played like that too. These first person shooter games are ridiculous because you keep getting back up after dying. The thing is that it doesn't seem as boring to play like that because the scenery of the game keeps changing. But try having two people play as far as possible with one life or three if that is standard and go as far as possible on that. I bet it is a better game if you play with the rul that you start over when you die in the game.
That's why the most common scenario for Goldeneye tournaments, real or not, was One Shot Kill.

I have a black apple pro mouse. Works fine. Just don't use it. Other than some dust, it looks and performs like new. Price is $10 shipped. I'll even dust it off for you.

I must admit that the sit-in version did give that in-the-X-Wing-cockpit feeling. My favorite sit-in, though, was Omega Race.
By the way, InuNacho, yes, the original sounds for Yar's Revenge left a lot to be desired. However, Yar's Revenge was IMHO the best original (i.e. not adapted from an arcade version) Atari 2600 sci-fi game in terms of gameplay.
...Debate, anyone?
Actually I was referring to the iPad version of the game not the 2600 classic.
Unfortunately I've only seen footage for two of the 2600 games, Yar's Revenge and Breakout and both of them sound like they have some emulation problems.
What someone should do is create some kind of DB-9 to 30 pin adaptor doohickey so that you can plug in old controllers and stuff into your Touch/Pad.

Hello, here is my story.
I've been on IBM systems long long time, since the dos, and don't even think about other system. I heard about Mac (and never had anything against it!), it just happened to be on IBM, like million others. But one day it was over, it is biggest frustration to use wintel pc's, even a simlpe job very often can drive you nuts. I've been so tired to all troubleshoots, crashes, multiple reboots, and loosing everything, reformating and reinstalling freaking windows, all of them, from 3x to xp. So one day when I lost few ours of work and than this @#$% ing piece of junk crashed it was over and I start to looking for another platform. Linux for preety good, but it still running on wintel boxes (I did not know that time it can be run on a Mac :) and i wanted to get rid of this boxes complitely. So one day I met the Mac guy and he showed me his beautiful machine (it was a Power Mac G4, OSX 10.1) and once I put my fingers on keyboard my joy and fun and pleasure begun. I was amazed! I was able to do so many things in the same time with less time (does anybody had even try in windows, for example, very simple task like burning cd and run something else in the same time?, it is impossible in almost all cases, etc).
So I bought the machine on the next day, it was almost year ago and it is 17" iMac 1 Gz with super drive (now have the Panter and THIS IS AMAZING OS!!!)
I figureout that what can be done on Mac, wintel users can only dream about. So it was almost one year from now, but my machine is working perfectly with NO PROBLEM and NO CRASHES AT ALL!
I'm so happy that i did switch, and I tought, why I did not switch many years ago, why I've been going through all this pain and frustrations all this years? I guess I've been so blind and deaf.
But only one thing make me mad than all those wintel weenies open they mouth against Macs, if they don't even try to use it and have no idea what they are talking about, it's so stoopid.
Well, let the wintelies complain, let them troubleshoot and reinstall and reformat and fight viruses etc etc etc...
For all Mac People and for good wintel people (I'm sure they exist :) ) I wish the very Happy Hollidays!!!

I know you WANT to give your solution... you're so close... c'mon... say it: "I think we should drastically increase taxation on wealthy Americans to fix this problem."
What I want to know is how exactly you expect businesses to grow jobs, expand operations, etc. in this type of situation. It seems fairly clear based on the facts that A) this wouldn't be near enough money to solve the problem B)that the end result in the long run will almost certainly be less growth, fewer jobs, and less government 'revenue' than before. C) that you'd kill what chance we have left at regaining a strong economy as large businesses would do whatever they could to get their assets in locations of lower tax burden.
Can you point me to a time in history where lower taxes led to more growth? Can you point me to the time when high taxes meant things were not progressing? As I seem to recall from the history classes I mostly failed, the mid-20th century was quite a boom for this country, right? Since I'm not so good at history, I looked up tax rates.
The last time tax rates were as low as they are now started in about 1925. What followed 5 years later? The Great Depression and massive unemployment. Shortly after 1930, tax rates skyrocketed. You know what else happened around that time? Massive growth and employment. Then, since 1981 when taxes started getting much lower, the economy slowly started to go downhill. Many people were still making gobs of money, but the middle class started to see things going away. There must be some huge factor I'm missing. Maybe you can fill me, and everyone else here, in.
And as for me wanting to "drastically increase taxes on wealthy Americans", you can stop right there. I want to get rid of the TAX BREAKS, the TAX CUTS...for everyone, and especially for excessively wealthy people.
'turned into' a a profit machine? As opposed to... when?
Providing health services and goods has always been a for-profit enterprise. This is exactly what has lead to the amazing growth in medical technology in the past 100 years.
While the advances in medical technology are great, let's not for one second think that the massive profit machine known as the health care industry is not as corrupt as can be. You take a service that by it's very definition is essential for life, and turn it into a profit operation...nothing good can come from that. That's why a Tylenol in a hospital costs $14 and you go in for a bad cough and walk out with a $21,000 bill. Ludicrous.
I tend to agree. Cut programs until our expenses match our current 'revenues.' When the two are equal or are in the black, let's immediately pass an balanged-budget amendment so this problem never happens again.
I think we definitely need to include in the cuts the health care and pensions for all senators, congressmen, house members, and any other "lawmaker" types.
For the record, they are paying their fair share. The top 50% of wage earners pay over 95% of the income tax.
And as pointed out above, they also make and have the vast majority of the money in this country.
If 90 people make $1,000 each, and 10 people make $50,000 each and they were evenly taxed on income, you'd still have 10% of the people paying 84.7% of the taxes. Is that unfair? No, it's not. Not in the slightest. And once you take out even a basic cost-of-living exemption, which should be the start of any tax system, that number would increase dramatically. Like, just over 95% maybe?
In this free market, you have the choice to make more money. And if you want to make metric ass-tons of money, you can pay the taxes that go along with that. Free market capitalism.
I agree. I would start with a MASSIVE simplification of the tax code, and virtual elimination of all government subsidies over the next 5-10 years.
Probably the only thing I agree with you on. Individual tax returns should require a post card and nothing else. Corporate taxes, well...I don't know enough about them to know how to simplify them, but I'm sure they are ridiculously complex.
I tend to agree. Reduce the budget by half, let them become more efficient and more reliant on technology. Take a more defensive posture around the globe and avoid entangling alliances, etc. abroad. That being said, I believe its important for us to maintain a strong national DEFENSE. We do have enemies... and defense is one of the primary constitutional roles of the federal government.
OK, two things.
If the top 50% are declaring earnings equivalent to 88% of the total, it seems entirely proportionate that they should be paying 95% of the total tax. Their true earnings are probably vastly more in percentage terms, anyway.
Yep.

Now if this guy is not leaving to retire. Then RIP Apple.
Good grief, here comes the "Sky is falling!" crowd
Seriously, if Apple thinks I want my computer to resemble an overgrown iPad then they can loose my money and I'll be buying an Alienware.
Have fun with that.
Microsoft seem to be the only ones that still get computers?
Words are not sufficient to respond to this gem.
IMO you don't leave a massively successful company after 22 years without a reason unless your retiring.
Everyone likes to try new things. 22 years is a long time. Most of us would like to drop what we're doing and try something new. Unfortunately, unlike Bertrand, most of us don't have the money to do it.

The keynote was terrible.
It's called "MacWorld" yet there was nothing in there about the mac. Just this little toy that dosn't really interest me that much called the "iPhone" and the "Apple TV".
I was desperate to see iLife 07, as I'm going to a place where there is an Apple store, and I really wanted to buy it then. For the very first time, Apple have actually disappointed me. :(
