I have a P1-166 as my firewall. Not exactly sure about the dimensions, but it's probably 3' long, 1' wide, 2' high. This speaks more to "network appliances" but why should I keep that around when I can get the same functionality in a 3"x6"x2" firewall from linksys/netgear/etc? It will take up a lot less room. Repeat for my fileserver, webserver, and mailserver and I could end up saving some serious space by consolidating the three boxes to one beefier SFF box. It's called common sense. Why waste all the space and power? Maybe it's different for games, but as far as I concerned, SFF is the way to go.
Can you recommend a low budget system that will likely cost me between $200-$600 between time and money so that I can avoid spending $300 on the easier solution? FWIW, you can use a tivo without paying the monthly fee. I think the monthly fee just let's you access their programming guide and recommendations. I don't own one yet, so I really don't know.
You know one will come back all bendy-like, one will be on fire, another will be invisible, and one will be made of orange rock. And I ain't even a PhD.
Because what you mentioned is not entrapment. Entrapment is the inducment of an innocent person to commit a crime that would otherwise not have committed the crime if not for the inducement. Suzy Downloader is still downloading stuff off kazaa regardless if the RIAA put it there or not. Entrapment isn't putting up bogus mp3s on Kazaa and suing people that download them. Entrapment would be putting links to download kazaa on the riaa website, endorsing kazaa publicly, and then suing people for using kazaa to download songs. By the way, I think, and I could be wrong, entrapment is a defense to criminal charges, not to civil suits, so I don't think it would apply here (there may be a tort equivalent of entrapment. I simply don't know). But IANAL, YMMV, YADDA YADDA YADDA
The question was who benefits from perpetuating this system of weak patents, and who has an interest in perpetuating the system?
Actually, the PTO. They are the ones that get money for someone filing a patent, good or not. And they get money if a patent gets issued or not. And oh yeah, they get money to keep a patent "alive" over the 17 years it is viable. Lastly, did you know that if you miss a deadline with the PTO, you can fix it 85% of the time just by paying a fee?
I doubt you have a legal leg to stand on with that. You're still signing the agreement they put before you. Usually the contract will be presented to you pre-signed by your CEO or whatever. By changing the contract and handing it back to them, you're effectively nullifying the original signature and the contract itself. Theoretically then they could reneg on anything promised to you in the contract including your pay, benefits, etc. If it is not pre-signed and you remove the non-compete, well... I don't know how that would go. I guess it is their duty to go over the "finalized" contract, but by not informing them of the change, you may not be exhibiting "good faith" and thus the contract would again, be null and void. But IANAL.
It had two different characters with different abilities that (unlike, say, SMB2) you could swap between.
Explain this, please. SMB2 had 4 characters with different abilities and using certain ones on certain levels made a world of difference. There were definitely areas where the princess was the better choice than toad or vice versa. The only one I rarely used was mario because once of the characters could always do something better than him. I'm not flaming, I just never played DKC so I don't understand the comparison.
Everyone complains about the heat from the processor in the 12" PB and the iBooks. It's not the processor generating the heat under your left wrist, it's the hard drive. Yes I know the proc generates heat, to the point where my iBook's auxillary fan comes on every night, but the heat that I here everyone talk about is usually on the wrist wrest, and that's where the hard drive is.
On a slightly different train of thought: I'd like to see a heat comparison between the 4200 rpm drives to the 5400 rpm drives? You can't get the 5400 on the 12", but I wonder what heat difference it makes on the 15".

The problem with Australians is they are too tough. The judge was probably like "Only seven counts? Pansy. Six years!"
This is a nation founded as a prison colony. They think Rugby isn't rough enough so they made up Australian Rugby. They are psychos down there. Have you ever tried drinking with an Australian?? They have a death wish!
I don't question anything the Australians have done, except maybe using PAL instead of NTSC. I mean these are the people that "Hey, Paul Hogan and Yahoo Serious: Get out!" Sound like a bright and psychotic bunch those Aussies
And I responded saying, no, pf is OpenBSD, it's just been ported to the others. To be honest, I didn't check the links since I took exception to him "correcting" the grandparent, even if him correcting was saying that pf had been ported. I'm not trying to be a dick, but I felt that he was incorrectly correcting someone.
PF is purely an OpenBSD project that has been ported to the others. It was written because Darren Reed changed the license of ipf to something Theo (of OpenBSD) didn't agree with. FreeBSD and NetBSD kept using ipf while the OpenBSD crew wrote their own packet filter. Then the other two ported it.
A couple things. The article said he was altering the Yahoo databases between February and April of 2002. That gives him three months of access. Secondly, and my brain may not be working right (it's 6:30 AM), but using your numbers, doesn't 600 searches @ 10 seconds come out to 6 searches per minute, which means 100 minutes, which means about an hour and 40 minutes, not 100 hours? Thirdly, another guy posted that some of the searches, the ones that cover FBI and NSA type info go for $7,000 a pop. I just said $500 because that was what I had been told the seaches cost.
Two hours over three months is entirely conceivable, especially if he was looking for updates and to see if the Feds were on his trail.
No, definitely not. He said Lexis, etc are dangerous because they are free to law students, who get used to using them like google, but expensive for law firms, since the firms then hire the students who are used to doing three or four searches. I see your link, and it does look like you can buy individual docs for about $9 each, but maybe it's different for him because he goes through his firm. Maybe he was referring to Westlaw. I just remember suggesting to him that there be a goole for lawyers and he explained how there already were ones, and they definitely were not cheap for firms to use. *shrug*
A lawyer friend of mine told me once that services like LexisNexis and Westlaw charge their clients something like $500 per search. Not per session. Per search. Think about that the next time you search on google, don't like what you get, and search again. Pretty easy to see how he got up to $300k that way.
I'm not a raging fanboy, honest. There are very very few great games IMHO for the GC. But seriously, what didn't you like about Metroid? I won't even reply or try to defend it. I am simply curious as to what you thought it lacked.
