I hope the crackers seriously stick it to them. Copyright length, game DRM and licensing really don't make any sense to me. Honestly I really am upset that I paid for ~$40 for Contra on the NES back in 1990 only to have to pay $8 for it on the Wii today with no ability to transfer it from that device to another. How many more times must I pay for the Contra license to what is the exact same game?
Zero.
You're welcome to play it on your NES as much as you want, for as long as you want, for that same $40.
Connexion was primarily on international flights, and used satellites. It was a lot more expensive to install ($500,000 per plane) and significantly more expensive to use.
I once payed $29.95 for Connexion for a 12 hour flight. Seems about the same as $10 for a domestic flight... maybe even cheaper
The gmail labs offline option is great, but it doesn't back up all of your mail; only several thousand messages. 95% of the time, that will leave you with what you need offline.
Not really. The vast majority of American aid to Israel is military, and even that is generally "credits" that can only be spent at American companies, not actual cash for Israeli R&D.
OTOH, if they start using the standard military issue M16A1 (from the Nixon era) to shoot the offending dogs (or owners...), then US taxpayers may be paying...
While the US may or may not have this as a concern, the threat (and still not unheard of, despite the "ceasefire") that Israel has certainly involves morters and rockets being launched from inside residential neighborhoods, schools, etc.
Showering the launch site (or worse, some point beyond it) with anti-missile rounds is NOT a reasonable option.
Wow... now I've seen everything. I mean, granted it was a kdawson post, but still... someone suggesting using ActiveX to help a Google migration... talk about crazy.
Don't ever buy anything whose version number ends with an even digit. I suppose you don't remember when stable linux kernels were even and the experimental ones were odd.
Then again, why would you buy a linux kernel...
I did this in 98, when I was overseas, and my internet access was a 15 minute on one of 4 PCs for about a hundred people, with a local SMTP/POP solution that dialed in twice daily for sending / receiving mail. Worked quite nicely, actually.
Then again, I don't know if any of the servers listed are still up, but it ought to be easier to have someone install something like this...

This is great. I can't wait to get one. I will carry it in my backpack while I fly around in my jet pack which will be powered by cold fusion.
To make things even better, you'll be able to play Duke Nukem Forever on it!
Satellite might use MPEG2 TS (transport streams), but the encoding for HD is almost always MPEG4 (section 10), aka h.264.
Zero.

Why didn't you want to hire Mrs. Uper Fly? I think you'll find that Mrs. Fly (Uper is for friends only) is quite the professional.
Oh.
I get it.
lots of fi, minimal sci, except where necessary.
Good sci-fi, like all good literature, is about people, not technology.

How would I go about mounting a 50" LCD monitor or a projector + screen on my head in a way that doesn't make result in me constantly falling over?
Use it sitting down?

Of course, it's that remaining 5% of the time...

Trying to have it both ways, eh? Tricky, those Democrats...
Actually, this was the Democrats...

You do realize that a spell checker would, at best, give you:
Too bud it doesn't work with the Google tool bur...Cause I rally lick the spill checker.
Even worse, the default spell checker (using the first option):
Thu bud nut enthused perk whiff huh Giggle towel bur...Cause I rally lick huh spill saker.
I think the first version was better than this...
How about 10 errors?

Yes.
I think it's Israel.
Duh.
