I attack Farlander personally and contribute nothing but ad hominem arguments,

Literacy, health, GNP, associated factors. Uncontroversiallly quantifiable stuff.

The plan has always been to loss lead on the console and reap profit on the games, but I'm not sure if that actually came to pass for either the PS1, PS2 or XBox. Sony has spent a long time trying to create a format which they have near monopoly in with initial loss leading, but they didn't reap a profit with betamax, or with minidisc, their original DVD encoding and it's not happening with the UMD. I wonder why they keep doing it.

Amusingly too, they bought Columbia as a trophy purchase, and now justify it as loss leading to gain the content so they can profit from other formats like Blurray and UMD which will....make a loss.

I'm not a Sony hater or anything, I just am intrigued by disfunctional organisations.

I think he means he's afraid of people thinking he's stressing being a "brit" as opposed to a "paki" or the like, as racists in several countries often stress nationality to distinguish themselves from people of the nationality, but a different background.

So the question might be "Are there any British of a non anglo-celtic background here who feel that I am stressing my status as a brit at the expense of yours?"

My darling, you have returned!

Hmm, what a load of crap. Interesting? Kiddies = internet. The kiddies of AGS think, hmm, helm is sooo cool, he uses such big words and is so rude and posts in every thread he doesn't know a  diddly squat about, he quotes big sentences from other people and run them through Word and ups the words even more, he is my hero, and others follow in his extremely aggressive posting regime. So when I grow up I wanna be a Helm, I'll be just like him, I'll think I'm smarter than just about everybody that exists.

Deary, it's church time. F** you mom, I'm not going to church cause helm says God doesn't exist and he is a God.

You are preaching for the devil and recruiting a whole new generation of demonic little kiddies who will burn down schools and swear at their mothers. Well done.

Goodbye AGS.

It's a good thing I'm not religous.

A better argument is that since they do not appear to have succeeded in refining uranium, what bombs they're making will have to come from a very modest supply of plutonium from the existing reactors, which isn't worth many bombs. If they only have enough for a few, they have to decide whether having them on hand as a bargaining chip is worth more than the cash they'd get from selling them, and the former would have to be more attractive to those in power, even assuming that they found a buyer.

Of course they're lazy, the Gamecube was just a hairdryer with a built in radio.

I guess the larger part of why you're posting is to gain affirmation that you acted correctly in an awkward situation.

If so, I'm happy to give it. From what you say, you took the only responsible course of action.

The forum is full of kids that started out on the wrong foot but are now valued forum members, I'm sure you can be as well.

ergo, Nintendo has gotten lazy.

Come on Helm, admit that he completely and utterly tore down that Straw Man. Take that hypothetical posters!

It's a great asset for making a deal. Libya gave up a weapons program that didn't exist and got lucrative oil deals and had sanctions dropped against it, if North Korea has genuine weapons to give up, they'll probably get a free car in the deal as well. After all, if you simply don't have a weapons program, and then deny that there is one, and then have observers come in to prove you don't have one, you end up being invaded.

Nintendo has done something clever in targeting casual gamers, amny of which are heavily put off by capital G Gamers....whom are resolutely criticizing the Wii. The more these people criticize the Wii, the more attractive it becomes to people who would not otherwise buy a console [especially considering the high entry costs of buying an Xbox 360 or PS3], like myself for instance. Nintendo can gain a new market, and designers that are caring about things other than pixel counts [like VV apparently] will clean up, and Microsoft and Sony will simply end up losing money in a zero sum game targeting a static market of capital G gamers, just like they did on the last generation.

Yes, the established and widely respected reference source for all paranormal studies Krysis. They even release new material constantly to keep at the cutting edge of knowledge, as well as being the general text book for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the field.

I want to know why you're all ignoring the reasoned scientific approach of Unilin.

Further concurrance. If you enjoy programming so much with natural joy, teach yourself and don't let education crush that joy.

The link was broken because the filserver determined it was illegal. If you had been a registered user I would have pmed you to explain, but I was unable to.

The Casio sound is like pixel art.

By which I mean "yes, this has been done before", and also "yes, my entry was crappy then as well"
