While a nice technical achievement, that doesn't do much for me. 4GB sticks are still too expensive, which makes flash-based devices like the GP2X much too expensive if you want a halfway decent data storage.

OneThirty8: you make a very good point. I remember some situations regarding nonexistent sexual education that are quite unbelievable.

Ex-Cyber: did you even bother to completely read my posts?

If you want to teach your kids your beliefs, do it at home. If you want to teach your kids facts, send them to public school. That's a narrow view of things, parents are not qualified teachers and even if they are teachers, they can never provide the variety and level of education available at an m...

... For the kids whose parents either don't teach them or don't do an adequate job of making their children informed individuals, a lack of Sex Ed will be likely to result in unplanned pregnancy and the spread of Venereal Disease. ...

No, this can't be real. Please tell me this is not real. I can't fathom how it's possible to memorize that many completely random digits. Really. I'm baffled. The amount of practice it must take. It can't be fun. And does this really demonstrate skill in some practical manner? Being in the age we a...

decide wether their children take it or not. ...which means that it is optional. On the parent's side, not the school side. To everyone else: in my opinion sexual education is a fundamental thing that should be teached as soon as possible, earlier than school even. As a school matter, it certainly ...

I think that's great. Parents should be able to decide what their childrens can learn or not. Besides, Orange_Ribbon is right (not that it matters though, I bet that we'll soon see a lawsuit from a dumbass parent which he'll win). I also agree with Covar, this is a subject better teached by parents....

This is really looking like a great oldschool-type brawler. The graphics are amazing, didn't know the Quake engine had so much going for it. I especially love the second tower picture, the lighting is amazing. If a Dreamcast version is made, will it be able to use the DC's antialiasing capabilities?...

I don't know about the Saturn, but it was released for the Genesis. It was a completely different game though. One of them was more arcadish and the other was more adventurish (can't remember which).

Also the person that said nintendo has no originality, like Sony and mircrosoft do. Erm, yes they do. The very fact they exist in the videogame market shows they are commited to originality.
