The classics you speak of are that good to you because they have a nostalgic and emotional value, I mean, I still think Vice City is the best GTA simply because it entertained me so much and I had such good moments with that game but I knowfor a fact that technically, San Andreas is a better game.
No, Vice City is better because of what they didn't include. Nowhere outside of America does adding more make something better (which is funny as the console GTA's were developed in Scotland). Bigger is not related to better. The whole Virtual Pet aspect of SA really put me off, get health by eating food, but not too much! Distracted from the main game itself. Vice City didn't have needless things like that, or a world map that was simply too big.
Unless your confusing technical achievement with better. Just take a good long look at some disasters that use modern technology, Rise of the Robots? PS3?

It's not the size as such, it's the aspect ratio and dpi.
a 22" 16:9 ratio monitor with a 1600 x 1024 resolution is going to be far easier on the eyes than a 20.1" 12:9 ratio monitor at 1600 x 1200, every 21" CRT I've ever used at 1600 x 1200 has seemed too high res to be confortable to stare at all day and I've dropped it down to 1280 x 960 to be bearable. That's a trinitron screen with an 85hz refresh rate aswell, not some bargain basement monitor either.
I know LCDs are going to suit some people more than others but if anything I'd still go for a 22" apple LCD over the formac if the prices were a little more in my range at least.
yeah but a 21' CRT does not have 20.1 viewable. You need to go for a 22' CRT to have 20 inches in screen room.
also if the 17' iMac can be 1440 by 900 then 1600 by 1200 wont kill the formacs vision with three extra inches.

I can't see anything really wrong with this program.
You still have to buy the music!
The labels need to get over trying to shove this DRM crap down our throats.
It will never work! This has been demostrated time and time again.
Of course Apple will shut it down soon.
Well put - I can't believe some people actually wrote "hopefully Apple will fix/shut this down soon" - do you enjoy having usage of your music crippled? I certainly don't.

Blame motorola]) and motorola is still charging to much for their processors. While Moto's processors may cost more than Intel's and AMD's (for good reason), I highly doubt that they are the sole contributors to Macs "higher" prices. Just look at the profit margin for Macs. They are much higher than any other computer manufacturer.
And the iBook costs a little more than a comparable P3 laptop. There's an IBM chip in there, not MOT.
Blaming Motorola for Apple's high prices is like blaming Nakamichi for the high price of Lexus'. NOTE - this was the only analogy I could think of at 7:30 am... sorry.

What would a advance civilization have to gain by contacting man? a species that just climbed out of the cave and kills each other and wars with itself over religion & the earths resources every single day. Plus why would ET use slow radio waves? makes no sense at all plus there is all kinds of proof that the pentagon is hiding its knowledge of ET from our own govt and its people. We are "suppose " to think that we are the center of the universe. The govt wants it that way.

How the hell could a graphic artist sit down and copy the iChat logo and not feel completely ashamed. Being creative is the essence of their profession and to be given that Job must've sucked. Definitely not one for the portfolio.
I agree, HOWEVER, you'd be shocked at how often the client dictates how that sort of thing goes. Then it becomes the job of the designer to either dump the client (easier said than done when bills need to be paid) or create what the client wants without infringing on copyright issues.
Case in point, I was recently working on a brochure design for a local client. After a few rounds of revision and consistently cutting the copy down, they came to us and said "we want it to read X, Y, Z". When we asked why, they said, "well, this company has X, Y, A, and this other company has X, B, Z, and we like those so we're combining them".
At that point you either do what they want despite the obvious fact that it's crap, or you argue and risk losing the client for future projects. You kinda pick your battles and make the work as good as possible.

I still think it could be a hoax or April Fool's Joke...and still don't care either way. Had a great coop session today with a friend on GeOW...played through 3 acts...too bad it was on my old boring white 360 :D
The 360 that's out now plays really good games NOW. Get it and play...don't talk about playing or whine about playing or think about playing. There's great games out now...and the 360 out now will play Halo 3 still when it arrives (if it arrives this year).
Having played games at 1080i and 720p I'll still choose 720p even if the system supports 1080p...the games to me play better in 720p...and my 32 inch CRT HDTV shows no difference between 1080 and 720 p tested with my Sony FX1 HD camcorder.
Even IF they come out with the larger hard drive I'd still save money and buy a apple TV. I'd rather use iTunes with my current Season Passes and all anyways.
Guys, get one now if you have the funds...the games are great and it's a lot of fun to play and not fret about when/if updates are coming :D

I saw phones in Japan two years ago that had cameras, pictures, email, text messaging, web browsing, and a kitchen sink that were tiny tiny tiny. It's about time the US gets even half of those features.
The real kicker is the use of the technology. In japan the imode phones will email you a coupon to the video store for a new release that you've been waiting for while you're on your way home from work. Show the phone with the coupn displayed at the checkout and they give you a couple hundred yen off.
Good use of the features is what will make the real difference.

So is the previous lack of this IT tool the reason my college IT department insisted on taking my PB from me for 12 hours and installing the anti virus software themselves?
I would tell them to "F" off... Not sure why your college would even require antivirus software... there is probably more to it than I know.
Anyways, I wish there was a way to connect to the Corporate Server via OS X to see which PCs were infected, that's what I want.

the schools you mention are all great and you should do well at any of them
a public university has the advantage of being cheaper and maybe you can consider a University of Virginia or something public like that in your region
...but the connections will be found at the private universities, but both forms of universities will be great for learning if you put a strong effort into it

In the XNA Game Studio Express forums at MSDN, an XNA Framework Developer has accidentally confirmed the existance of the unannounced Elite Edition of the Xbox 360.
In a forum post that asks "Will the HDMI output on the revised 360 require any code changes ", Microsoft software enginner Shawn Hargreaves responded that "no changes required" for existing XNA code. This pretty much confirms the new Xbox 360 model that is rumored to come with a built-in HDMI port.
