I think that your analogiy could use some modifications.
PS3 = The Car
Cell = The engine
Ram = The road
Now from what this article says it's more or less like taking a ferrari with its high power engine and trying to race it on a go-cart track.
I don't dispute the PS3's power or RAM qualifications because I see amazing games being created on it.
People think bigger is better and lose sight of what really is required when it com...
You'd think by now web designers would have learned to make their pages compatible with most web browsers.
Can't access the link because it says browser not supported.
I have 2.40 ps3 software and hope someone else makes a guide everyone can access.
This reminds me of how gangsters work. You have this big mob boss making businesses pay protection money so they can control everything. If someone is accused of skimming they're punished on a whim.
I even read back not to long ago that someone outside this organization was fined for not paying for services.
Sure sounds like the way gangsters work but with the legal system backing them up.
The money they're using to sue people is simply to terrify ...
I think the movie your talking about is called.
"It's a Beautiful Life"
Based on what I read the teller was looking for a reason not to sale it. It's besides the point that he had a minor with him.
If he came back and the same teller was there he'd probably remember the face and say no again to save face over his previous ruling.
I'm thinking that the disagrees i'm getting aren't from people diagreeing with the customers rights their more less at arms over the possibility that i'm in defense of the "sale to minors" concept...
I think he is, the teller is making an assumption that he's selling this to his little brother. He says no it's for me. This he's calling the customer a lier. It's legal to refuse sale but it doesn't make it right in respects to customer relationship.
If the customer literally made a statement that he was buying it for his little brother then yes. The customer said specifically "No it's for me" by making that statement the teller transfers all legal responsibility to ...
That may be the case but, this policy is for minors. If you walk into a store and a manager says we don't service your kind this isn't only unfair it could cause legal action to be taken.
In this guys case he didn't fall in the <18 category. So the underaged policy between the customer & the merchant isn't valid. In fact the sales clerks refusal is a lack of faith. It's not only insulting but a bad business practice imho. Yes, if it was an minor but as an employee he cho...
I believe the people who agree the most about this are adults. I myself don't agree with "the man" comments. Why, because the person buying the product doesn't fall underage.
In all respect, adults are just as easy to influence. The government has controlled alcohol, taxed smokers, enforced gun laws and basicly created laws to protect us as a citizens.
Technically, based on some of these "the man" statements, we as adults aren't capable of mak...
Talking on the phone to rent a house and when you get there the landlord decides that because you have kids, sees your black or chinese he's not renting it anymore?
So what if you have a kid with you, if he really wanted to be dishonest he could have said "my mother died and yes i'm the legal guardian"
If the person buying the product is 18+ that deal is between the 18 year old and the store. If the game is then transfered to the little brother the cons...
"Nobody is stopping you from doing this. Everyone, including Sony, is simply recommending that you refrain as it could possibly lead to damaging your system."
I didn't say do it. My post is asking to acknowledge real facts. You see the article doesn't include these things. It just says confirmed by Sony. This simple response doesn't satisfy my understanding of the problem.
At the time of my post no evidence of why, or how it damages a system was available. ...
If your booting up the PS3 with that on how does it overheat the system? All it's doing is booting with the fan at full power. The processer is inactivated right?
So, how is the fan blowing cool air out the back from boot harming the PS3. If this is a problem then It's a hardware design issue.
Sony has confermed it as a failsafe yes, for overheated systems. Have they confirmed that this process causes an overheat or is it a test of the fans capabilities in case o...
If he's joking why is he wasting time pissing people off? Maybe because he's speaking his mind and trying to excuse himself. I could make jokes about 911 or whatever and then say I was only joking. It still wouldn't excuse the fact that it'd be distastefull and inappropriate. In the end it's still trolling the gamer area, just with an excuse.
Upgrade your video card on your PC or replace that 1982 tube TV with an LCD or HDTV.
I didn't like hearing the trolling toughname. I'm a gamer and I enjoyed RFOM, I probably would have enjoyed Gears, but at least I'm not trolling GOW2 (a game that isn't out yet). I'm sure you've lost bubbles by now. Please next time respect n4g.com and don't troll in the gamer zone.
Thank's
There is a solution for the techical support woes. If you know someone like this tell them to ask their kids for help.
Youtube has an excellent video that shows this.

funny as heck.
It's the unprofessional attention he made. In any tense relationship if negotiating or defending something the best solution is to treat the situation from the outside as a 3rd party.
Reactions such as this "i'm not a ????ing retard" put him in the same position as his attackers. If anything this only amplifies the tensions between the parties in conflict. For best results a better reaction would've been to stop for moment and ask people what exactly they saw wrong an...
Everyone that has had problems with is console isn't going to be getting a free redesigned 360 are they? No, to get one they'll either be very lucky or they'll have to buy an upgrade.
All this behavior does is enforce the bad practices of selling defective hardware. Why should costumers be forced to pay for manufactured mistakes. Consider that even if a customer gets free repaires or replacements things still come up short.
My experience isn't all pleasurable, if...
Does this change your opinion of him? Will you buy more of his movies now that he made this hmm speech?
I think this speech was unprofessional and not only will it harm him by making him look like an (3 letter word) it'll also bring negative attention towards him and his movies.
Honestly, I don't think people where even aware of this until he opened his mouth to the public about it.
I think this qoute by Ambrose Bierce says it best.
"Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret."
His striking back reaction is a tit-for-tat, fight fire with fire reaction. This reaction is anti-consumer. It'll most likely lead him into a costly confrontation with his fans and employers.
If he could've stepped back and thought this situation out he might have saved himself a lot of embarrassment. This ...
Yes, the next format will do more then just read ons and offs but use interference patterns. If developers are having problems with keeping up with blu-ray consider a technology where the surface creates tens of thousands of refracted on's and offs from a single point on a disk where it would normally only store a single on or off using todays technology.
I'm just fooling with you, it sounds reasonable but the main question is will we need it?
Another thing i'm i...
I think SE realises that by going multi on such a big title the can hurt PS3 hardware sales on the FF13 launch. I believe MS has been handing out money left and right for exclusives. What better way to crush your competition then take their ideas and content while adding it to yours.
Not going to get into that but, where is the honor of making a another japanese company that you've worked with suddenly lose a large investment to an American company?
