Ok, so im playing bad company 2 and im lagging and losing my badass k/d ratio. I get really pissed relieze how xbox's are crap and go play my gamecube which is infinitely better than xbox.
Anyway I only have 3 games for my gamecube so I want to go pick some up. I have played in years and wasent really that into it when I had it years ago.
So what games are cheap, around less than $15 used at gamestop and are actually good?
Thanks!

Thanks for the link!
I took it to an Apple store today and they diagnosed it as the graphics card failure. They are replacing the MLB for free (would be a $863 repair otherwise..ouch.)
Knightrider, I suggest you do the same thing! It was a pretty quick diagnosis and I should have it back within 3-5 days.
Yup I literally took it to the Apple store immediately after I posted last and it was the logic board. It was two months out of warranty, but they are doing it for free anyway.
Four days later, the status finally went from "Pending - Preparing to Ship" to "On Hold - Part on Order". Have you received yours back, yet?

Thanks, but I was not able to find anything on how long the battery is capable of lasting. If I recall correctly, my first battery lasted at least 4 hours (possibly longer). I do not have too many programs running - at least not much more then initially.

if i may piggyback onto this question, as i'm in the same boat currently.
given dante's comments about the color inaccuracies of non-ACD monitors (like the HP specifically), I'm wondering whether the built-in mon on the 17" hi-res is accurate?
i'm planning to upgrade out of both a 2.0 coreduo MBP and dual 2gig G5 PM into a single 17" 2.6/8 hi-res MBP and add a 30" monitor to that for home use. If the 17's internal monitor is respectably accurate for printwork, obviously I'll be able to save a few sheckels on the 30" by going HP (enclosure elegance be damned); on the other hand, if the 17 is not accurate it'll make more sense to spend the dough on an ACD.
your thoughts appreciated!

Hi Vic,
I have a 17" MBP (latest version, 17" 2.6ghz, 4gig ram, high res matte screen, etc) and can comment but first let me clear up your characterization of some of posts when you said "given dante's comments about the color inaccuracies of non-ACD monitors (like the HP specifically), "
Let me be specific, It is not that Non-ACD monitors in general are not color accurate, it's just that a few of the monitors mentioned within this post may be display a wider gamut of colors than SWOP (general characterization of Offset and Web Printing, usually CMYK ink) can actually print.
Some of these wide gamut displays do not calibrate well due to a complex process of color interpolation at the video card level, and some do. The HP LP3065 is one that does:
http://www.anandtech.com/displays/showdoc.aspx?i=2950
Just wanted to clear this up so as to not bash HP un-needlessly.
Now for the 17" MPB -- it is good, but not great.
First off a thing about the MBP's -- All their displays are 6bit, and not 8bit like the signal going from a Mac Pro to an ACD. Basically this means that the color range of a MBP is not the same as as that of an ACD or other monitor comparable to an ACD. To make up for the less colors, the drivers dither between the comparable colors.
This makes image edit a bit less accurate for sure.
As far as color accuracy, the Matte MBP's are pretty close to a SWOP gamut, especially in terms of brightness and the feel of "paper."
As far as a MBP being a substitute, I guess it really depends on the level of accuracy you need: photos and art for a newspaper are different beasts than photos headed towards fine art, etc.
I hope this helps a bit.

As I posted in a more obscure thread,
Never forget that the zune brought us this:
http://static.flickr.com/103/294929001_b67b0b5225.jpg
I still find it a little disturbing but I think it's also possibly the single funniest thing I've ever seen involving Microsoft.
I have never actually used a zune. They looked ok really, except the brown one (IMHO).

I'm not sure, if you check around there are some other threads about this topic, you might want to check w/ Dell or Viewsonic too.
Sometimes you hear about blurring issues when people use LCD monitors as TVs, I don't know if it's a refresh rate issue but on my Dad's 19" Sony LCD w/ a PC tv tuner card the image is alright but nothing spectacular.

That's very weird! I know the sound you're talking about (a muted TV drives me crazy!) but I've never heard of anything doing it when the system is turned off. I suspect it's the power supply (there's not much else it could be), and presumably the noise stops when you unplug the computer. If not, then you have gremlins :p

Sony needs to make use of the already established and once popular "Walkman" name and make a real iPod competitor.

And I seem to remember the first Walkman MP3 player didn't actually play MP3s...

I know he wants a tv in the front lobby but I think he wants to be able to choose between the tv audio or music up there. In the back he wants to be able to play pandora from one of the macs to all the individual rooms with a volume control in each room. I believe this is new construction so there is nothing existing to go from.
Thanks for the help.

OK then, a little advice.
What would be a good looking way to get an ad out to clients....
Just something quick. I don't want anything fancy or interactive, just something I can fire off in an email....
?
Ok what email client are you using? From what I read it seems that Mail.app doesn't have any options to send HTML emails. Though it is possible with that apple script posted earlier or perhaps a plugin of some sorts. (See you need to be able to change what type of email you are sending from text to html, which you can't really do in Mail.app).
You might want to try another client like Thunderbird. I read that there is an option to send email as HTML. Then all you would have to do is writeup a little html code to display your banner or whatever and then send it.
Of course the images would have to be stored on a server somewhere since sending the images as attachments won't work since most people won't bother opening the attacment.

You might want to change the compiler to LLVM GCC 4.2 or GCC 4.2. There have been some problems reported with LLVM.
If that doesn't help you need to post a better description of the crash.

Who didn't see this coming? Microsoft is crashing...hard!!!
Continuing to make a product that isn't selling would be more likely to crash a company than to kill it off and move the service to products that are selling, no?

It works for me. Let me know if this is not what you are talking about.

Some people claim that the x86 processor family is more susceptible to buffer overflow exploits than the PPC family is. I don't understand all the details myself, but the basic idea is that in many cases the core issue of security vulnerabilities is that under certain situations, data that is supposed to be "information," but not "code," in that it is put in a place where executable code is not supposed to reside (i.e. inside a graphic file, or whatever), is allowed to act as code. The buffer overrun issue appears to be an area where a number of these exploit possibilities exist.

I was there at 10 this morning when they opened and they said they didn't have any in stock, so I drove to Best Buy in Murray and they had just received a shipment so I was able to get one! I know the SimplyMac store in Ft. Union was expecting a shipment in today too.
