It's still a niche product with serious interoperability issues that has failed to live up to the hype.
What's really annoying is that Ericsson specifically promises in the documentation that came with the limited edition BT kit that it would be compatible with all future BT technology and it wasn't even compatible with the next.1 of a revision.
I'd really like to have a store in, say, Evercrack. A couple of bot salescritters to buy and sell the basics while I'm not logged in, plus the opportunity to trade for more interesting stuff when I have the time to play.
I'm currently charging my original Ericsson BT cordless headset to see if it plays with my new N-Gage. The N-Gage already works nicely with my Fujitsu Lifebook's BT, but my Microsoft BT Cordless Desktop at home doesn't play with anything (it can see the N-Gage but doesn't support the serial service). If the old headset works with the new phone I'll declare BT alive and well. If it doesn't, well, I'll say that it's still a niche product with serious interoperability issues that has failed to live up to the hype.
The xbox is cpu is at least 5 times slower than a Pentium 4 3 GHz cpu. Thus, it needs to be at least five times cheaper
This is borderline meaningless. Do you mean "The Xbox's CPU is at best one fifth the speed of a Pentium 4 3 GHz CPU. Thus, it needs to cost no more than one fifth of the price of a Pentium 4 3 GHZ CPU."
I recently expanded upwards by purchasing a number of small CD and DVD towers that I placed on top of my wall units and TV cabinets. I also have a pair of free-standing towers, one just for VHS tapes the other configurable to cope with VHS, DVD, CD, paperbacks, NES carts and Gameboy boxes. I also use "brick and plank" storage for books and magazines. Having just purchased an old collection of 10 or so years of Apple Mac magazines, they have become my most immediate storage problem.
Other than that, the stuff gets put in boxes and piled up in a storage room. Gets annoying when you're trying to find stuff though.
One last thing. I've had great success with a number of old library card cabinets. 7x7 drawers they suit CDs, VHS, Atari carts, Magic the Gathering storage boxes, etc, etc...
This IT officer doesn't have a problem with a wide range of platforms in an organisation. For one, as a web developer I'd really like to be able to test our website on more than a couple of browsers on one OS. Meanwhile, I hear of other IT departments trying to get laptops banned because they're harder to support than desktops. The issue is not the platform, the issue is mindless self-interest.
I run a C64 emulator on my N-Gage (bottom of the page). I've probably got about 50 games on there already and I'll be loading it up with a few hundred more today. Much more interesting than Tomb Raider XII: Yet Another Legend is Born.
The "Aggregate Resolution" appears dodgy. Two rows of five 3840x2400 monitors should be 19200x4800, not 12800x1024. If I was paying a quarter million Australian dollars I'd like to think I'd know a little better what I'm actually getting.
That earned Roland a lot of respect, at the time. If you wanted to play the original Wing Commander, you used the LAPC-1 for the music, if you wanted even remotely acceptable quality, or any credibility with other games players
I did exactly this. The compared to the LAPC-1, the Soundblaster's FM synth is barely functional.
(More recently though I've been playing with a PCI card that allows me to play music on a real C64 SID chip.)
www.spamgourmet.com for email aliases, spamcop.net for spam filters. I get no spam to my personal address. When it starts arriving at work I'll turn on MailScanner's anti-spam filter (currently we only use it for anti-virus).
Is UMoria close enough? That was the fourth thing I installed on my PS2 Linux kit after the D.Net client, VNC and Mozilla Firebird.
One program I recommend for the Windows side: Proxomitron -- the best free filtering personal proxy on the planet. "You mean the Internet has ads?"
Also, I recommend the 7.zip compression package (www.7-zip.org).
I've been looking at the coverage of the N-Gage, and while it's obviously going to fail to gain any signigicant market share, will struggle to attract developers and doesn't actually have a 1st-party development team to compensate like Nintendo does with the GC... what was my point again? Anyway, I need a new phone. Well, need is a strong word. Want a new phone. Okay, I admit, I want to be able to use Firestarter as a ringtone. That there's a Sonic game available for it is a nice bonus.
I just wish it didn't look quite so stupid if you use it without a headset.
I haven't changed the game in my GBA in at least two weeks. I have it here with me today and I have only the one game that's in it. Friend's usage is similar. Buy game, insert game, play game, (weeks pass), finish game/get bored with game, buy new game...
I've come to the conclusion that, while stupid, the fact that you have to take the battery out to swap games isn't a show-stopper.
I'm sure some of the PGP-based filesystem extensions will get you half way there. Just get everyone to carry their private keys on a little USB device, a floppy disk or an iPod. You'll still never stop a leak from a person with legitimate access to the files.
Each time you spin the wheel it should be an independant game with the chance of any one of the possible outcomes being exactly the same as the previous game and the next game. In that respect it's random. That each outcome has different odds doesn't make a single outcome any more predictable.
The fact that the US still has machines with physical wheels despite the outcomes being electronically controlled from a far more complicated odds table than a purely mechanical machine does not mean it's being "rigged" any more or less than any given machine in any given casino in any given country.
How am I supposed to play my Arcane Archer in a NWN LAN game if not everyone has bought the expansion pack that adds that prestige class? How can everyone play nice in the same virtual world if everyone doesn't support the exact same set of world rules?
Mark McLaughlin is senior vice president and deputy general manager of VeriSign's Naming and Directory Services Division, which is currently responsible for running the Internet's.com and.net system.
I'm sure I'm being naive, but isn't it illegal to have the odds of winning different inside the machine as to the ones advertised on the outside? If casinos would be willing to rig the odds using a ticket-based system, why would anyone consider that the current "anonymous" machines are any less rigged?
(Why anyone considers casinos worth spending time/money at is a discussion left for another day.)
I read that book a while back. Don't worry, you'll stop seeing memes everywhere soon. Or at least, you'll be able to fight the desire to post about them once your immune system kicks in.
We run SquirrelMail at work. Can't remember if I'm the one that found it or not. After turning on mod_gzip I had to upgrade to the latest version as of a couple of weeks ago. It's nice.
For personal mail I use my ISP's webmail software. I don't recognise it and it doesn't have a brand. Sorry.
I've heard three names as possibles for the next Doctor Who. Eddie, Richard E. Grant and Alan "Jonathan Creek" Davies. Fortunately I think they'd all rock in their own special way.
a mini-cd stores up to 180MB or about 25% of a standard cd.
Actually, 202MB is the current max capacity without doing anything too silly. If you want to go nuts, the Plexwriter Premium's "Gigarec" can fit a little over 270MB on an 8cm CD-r. My Imation RipGo! can't read a Gigarec disc, but my Asus DVD drive has no problems with a 270MB 8cm disc.

And fair's fair, the Ericsson Headset doesn't match the profile my laptop expects in a headset either.

I have a C64 SID chip installed in my PC (1982?). My mother uses MS Fortran v2.
