Secondly the shortages are real in most places.. while it was possible to get them in stores in places without pre-orders thats largely false in most places now as the non-sold systems are sold out and where you CAN get them they are in extremly limited supply.. to put it htis way my local walmart has about 700 sp's while it had 12 ds's yesterday.. those ds's are gone now.
there is absolutely no sound interference when I put on headphones with my ds.. yours is either faulty or i dunno your an idiot.. probably the idiot one
Just a matter of note. Your boyfriend has just as much access to the telephone system as the rest of us.. without the relay service. Noones preventing him from having phone service, or even calling whoever he wants without the relay service.
Just because he can't use the services provided doesn't not mean hes not being provided equal access.
actually Against right handed hitters is a pretty good statistic...
the thing that makes baseball unique statistically is you can get a big enough statistical average to actually find some sort of meaningful information. It doesn't work in football where you have 16 games in a season vs baseballs 162
in vegas blackjack on single deck pays 6-5 (in almost 99% of the tables these days) so counting single deck would be pointless..
also counting cards to truly make a profit takes a big bank roll and alot of time.. neither of which people who just visit vegas has.. so it's almost moot..
not to mention you MUST count perfect (which is extrmely difficult) otherwise you could get better odds doing basic strategy.
for those reasons most casinos don't care.. it's more likely they'll just shuffle the deck and distract you than acutally ban you.. you'd only get ban if you conistantly counted perfectly something an extremely rare few can do
the news submission is wrong theres no change over to 'HDTV' the changeover is to DTV.. to actually using digital signals...
was this necesarry of course.. we have the technology to make better use of existing bandwidth and use it for even better services (multicasting and hdtv to name two).. not to mention the FCC will recover some of the bandwidth to sell for other services...
HDTV is simply a use of DTV and not mandatory in ANYWAY so that statement was a bit misleading
if you communte 45 hours per week you need to be spending more time loking for a closer job 9 hours a day commuting on a 5 day work week is prettty outrageous
I suppose that a few people don't matter, but it adds up
So you insinuate that turning away a "few people that add up" because of lack of OOG is a bad business move by apples part (i think thats the point of your post) and you only offer your bands downloads in OOG format..
HUH? Your turning off a pretty large gorup of people who can't play your bands music.. I doubt many of your friends would continue to ask for you advice on music players if you suggeted one that ONLY played OGG
You can realize what they are up against when describing the category that one of their products is in bears the name of their biggest competator.. which btw isn't making a killing themselves.
i can agree EXCEPT.. if someone could buy napster and make it free like it was.. it would flourish again.. it's not the name napster as much as their business plan
Arcades are hugely popular in japan. Xbox sells horribly in japan. I think this is more of a stratagey to expose the Japanese to the xbox technology..

I've been reading the list and well.. This is about 1 of 3 different posts talking about 'what needs to be shown to linus when he gets back'
This is also the very first post of this one thread specific.. theres been about 5 or 6 more major things added to the list that people are hoping to get in... Linus essentially said he wasn't leaving anyone in charge so they're trying to get one main list to give to linus (with links where possible) so that he can quickly go threw everything when he gets back
Also.. it seems noone on the list is sure whether this will be 3.0 or 2.6 at least noones given any real definate answer as far as I could see..
the lastest version of this list is here.. which compiles all the other threads in one.. is here
I haven't seen much of this model but becuase it relys on the games being played over the internet it is destined to fail because of cheating. There are too many varibles. And there ARE people making a living off Quake3 these days and now Counterstike is getting big. Thanks to companies like CPL and Battletop. CPL is making a nice profit and has even helped jump start companies (such as Razer). For instance. John Wendel also know as cK-Fatlity (thats Fatality of Clan Kapitol) who made over a $100,000 in 2000 playing Quake3. And this year there is even more prize money to be had with a CPL $250,000 Q3 1v1 tourney. The Quake3 Team DM World Championship (Yes thats right teams from every country) Frag 4 was last year. Gamers.com (run by the ever famous Denis "Thresh" Fong) just bought the defunct PGL (Profesional Gamers League) from AMD recently. This is NOT a hobby to a fair but small amount of people. It's an international event with Gaming becoming one of the biggest entertainment industries celebrities will begin to pop up and it won't be the designers it will be the players.
It's better to look at Professional Gaming like the X-Games extreme sports that people never thought would make it big but are now respected and show on ESPN. Also ESPN just announced they will be covering a Tournament for a snowboarding game of thiers.
This is not a fad. It is not a hobby. This is life and it's growing fast. Now when you dream of playing games for money it doesn't have to mean being a play tester for some console gaming developer.
For those of you with greater interest heres some links:
I play quite alot of quake3 1v1 and the half keyboard sounds interesting. In 1v1 to be able to hit shift to switch 'wasd' from movement keys to weapon selection keys would be quit usefull. And a miraid of other functions during gameing.
I love bedtime stories.
On a side note. I can't see how much these are the site seems slashdotted. But assuming the price of this would come down then this may be the fututre of network cards. Providing a firewall in every network card would provide basic security to all users connecting to the internet. It may be overkill having it in everynetwork but i guess it would be easy to disable in during setup or some other way

I think this sounds nice, but why would every artist get the same amount of money? I mean if I started releasing music on Napster all of sudden i start getting a $10,000 check in the mail? If so why would even write worthwhile music, and thats only if i was required to release something every so often to maintain getting payed that amount...

It's not even them using the same playlists. It's that theres like the big 3 or 4 companies that own all the major stations. Lets try one of those analogy things that are always on standardized test.
The RIAA is to record compainies as the FCC is to the.....
Well actually I wouldn't say it's completely true that the FCC only watches out for Big Radio but it has been true up until we recently got an FCC chairman that was young enough to do some radical things. Not that hes doing a completely great job. Maybe it's that he really can't.
LPFM was the first step to empowering individuals to do local community programming, but the aplication proccess is so archiac and takes too long for it to be feasible. It essentially works in 6-12 month blocks for certain states (i missed the aplication proccess for oklahoma cause i was moving from virgina) and it will be at least 3-4 years before you can try aplying again. Not to mention that the current aplication process is only for 10Watt stations.
I also have to agree about local news. Yet again somehow they mostly seem to be the same, not only that they are also HORRIBLE.
On the subject of reception of local channels. Aren't cable companies REQUIRED to carry local channels? One step further for free even. I don't know if it's the cable wires running through my walls and in the ground that add the extra reception but I plug my tv into the cable outlet and get perfect reception for all my local channels (NBC,ABC,CBS,PBS,WB). Anyone have clarification on whether it's the added 'attenna' length or if it's actually 'cable'
No, from now on all internet connections will be taxed becuase of the 'potential' to pirate. But it will be scale. Like if you buy one of these since you can cary more pirated works you must pay a higher tax. This tax will of course be used to make up for the decrease in sales because of the proliferation of pirated material.
