1. The Playstation2 is a game console. It's supposed to spit out a bunch of images, not take in a feed from a camera like a missile and analyze the stream.
2. Japan IS allowing these consoles to be leaked to the US, just not in large quantities, one per person, but how many do you really need if you just want to build a bunch of rockets with'em?
3. Why is the US the only country where the export is forbidden to?
I think this calls for a war!:)
It would be funny to one day find out that NASA used the Playstation as a component of the lander:)
User: Lets install new drivers for the video card Windows: got the disk? User: got it Windows: what should you say? User: OK. Windows: no, it ain't ok, can't find the required drivers User: They're right there! Windows: Where?! User: On the disk! Windows: Which one? User: B:\ Windows: no such disk. User: why is it there in dos? Windows: not my problem. User: So how should I install the drivers? Windows: why do you need drivers, you don't have a video card. User: No way Windows: I'm telling you User: What about audio? Windows: No audio either User: What DO I have than? Windows: A joystick User: never had one... Windows: I know better User: and I was just about to go buy one... Windows: see! what would you do without me?
But the problem with this is that you can bring tutorials with you where you could find out how to solve the exact problem you're being asked to solve without having a clue about how to go about it. For instance, we have reference tables in AP physics class in high school, those tables contain all the formulas and constants we need to know, but everybody would be getting 100's on the tests if they could use the textbook and find solutions to similar problems. This would defeat the purpose of it.
"as taking drugs does not hurt anyone but oneself, it should be legal. " This is where the chain breaks. One of the main reasons why drugs are illegal in the US is that there is more of a chance of you going out to hurt others under the influence of marijuana than you would after drinking alcohol.
This does not express my opinion, but is just a point that is argued.
Here's what I don't understand in this whole thing with Chinese-American relations. All throughout school we've been taught why communism and oppressive governments of countries like China or Cuba are "bad". They gave us logical reasoning that led to the conclusion that these things are...evil. But if logic is universal and is independent of what side of the controversy the recipient is on, why can't the Chinese and the Cubans and Australians be as easily convinced that what's happening in their countries is wrong and should be stopped?
Is it that logical reasoning that can lead to this conclusion simply does not exist, and it is all a matter of perspective? Or is it that the citizens of those countries aren't able to get to the "enlightening" information?
I mean yeah, it looks cool, but this guy had to have spent a hell of a lot of time doing this! Wouldn't it be a bit cooler to spend this time doing something remotely useful, and getting paid for it? Perhaps this is just my way of thinking... Ace

Is your main activity really "writing activity logs"? ;]

Is there a way for me to make a decent backup card that would fit in my wallet with just scissors and a ruler? Anyone know?
