I never did a formal course in english. Learned by myself when I was a kid. In my place the native languages are portuguese and german, but german was later forbidden and my father and grandparents were tortured if they spoke german on the streets and school, so no german for me. Which is a shame, now that I am in germany and need to learn it too.
Spanish, on the other hand, is really easy. It took me two days to be speaking it well, and around a week to started correcting my native spanish students on their own language. Rules are simple than, say, catalan, portuguese and the colloquial vocabulary is smaller too.
I have one of those boxes - a tvix one, with an internal 2tb hard drive. For ripped stuff, it is excellent, and it is connected to my linux cluster through nfs. As it can stream from internet too, it is not that hard to fake a dvd menu with http connections on it to some fixed locations.
Now answering your last question, as you noticed, mostly I make mistakes in pretty much every language I speak. But most languages are closer to each other than not, for the simple fact because they have the same purpose and is used by the same animal. And even without being that generic, there are big language branches where the rules more or less are the same - the latin, the germanic, etc...
Of course none of that applies to French, which is latin, but as based on the exceptions as on its own rules, and that's why I stopped bothering learning it. Oh and basque, which is closer to martian than anything else.
I don't know why you got so pissed off. Bad day in there?
So I have an xbox. I also happen to have more than one pc. I asked because I was curious how could I make them work together, because it is not that obvious as you seem to imply. You probably need something that my windows does not have. Reading again, I notice that you explicitly mention connecting the pc itself to the tv. I though it was about connecting the windows to the xbox and having the tv ui in there on the first article.
So you talk about streaming to the xbox, then you mention connecting the pc to the tv directly...
If you want to rant about my language skills, fine. You are correct, it's not my native language. It is actually the sixth. Sorry, but you are the one not being clear in here. And writing some words in uppercase doesn't make them any clearer by the way.
I don't get it. If you can, please elaborate a bit further. What someone needs to do what you do? A computer with an usb tv tuner, than an xbox connected to the tv and then.. what?
And is this enough to do what they are trying to do with this new product? It is all confusing.
Wouldn't it be more logical just to update the xbox 360's software to provide that capability instead of having another crap to try to make a dent in this market?
I used to take pictures of the screen with the source code, and not print them into paper, but keep them in the film roll, non-revealed, on the plastic little box that came with the film. When absolutely necessary, I could process them, and worked perfectly. Will last forever inside those things.
You are lucky. Where I used to live back in the day, It was so humid that after a year, floppies started to get fungus. Good grands, bad brands, 5"1/4, 3"1/2, didn't matter. I can still remember the noise of the drive's head passing over the fungus, what we used to do, and the noise that the head did coming and going after an I/O ERROR appeared on the screen.
As a christian, stories about tracking purchases are very interesting to me. End-time prophecies say that we'll eventually end up with a one-world cashless financial system where the government can approve or deny any transaction in real-time.
Nintendo does great games - no one denies it. But on the wii, it looks like only them does.
I have a wii, and an xbox. I have bought much more games for the xbox than for the wii. You know why? Most wii games suck hard.
My first wii had one of those chips that allow you to use downloaded games. And I downloaded pretty much every wii game available. Most of them does not stand for 3 minutes. The good ones I bought - All mario titles, wii sports, wii fit, wii sports resort and all the guitar hero and rock band titles. They were great.
But that's it. I would love to play assassin's creed with a wiimote, or GTA, for instance.
And not pay 65 euros for COOKING MAMA or HELL'S KITCHEN (although I would like a decent kitchen game)
Well, thanks to them, google chrome exists, both for desktop computers AND for android. Oh, Linux boys should be thankful for the CUPS thing too. Remember how it was with the different incarnations of lpr?

Thank you very much! Now I got it. Will try that.

You have a point with this game thing though.
So if they have this, what are they trying to do? Create another crap? In what it would be different from what the xbox already have (or could)?
By the way, 200 bucks is too much. I don't know how much an xbox costs in the us, but I would suppose it is around that.

they might just think that akamai and its counterparts became too expensive.
Actually, you just describe a mainframe's terminal.
Leave my sony ericsson alone!

Just get a gun and make a hole in the god damn disk. Problem solved.

I know at least one place where the guy comes in a motorcycle to deliver you cocaine, and accepts credit card. Appears on the bill as pizza.
I understand you've never been to Thailand, Spain or Brazil.... They accept credit cards and very generic stuff appears in your bill.
Why do we still carry money anyway?
Interistingly, Interpol has this guy on their page for two years: Paulo Maluf.
On his twitter : twitter.com/paulosalimmaluf he not only talks about his whereabouts, but also gives a contact phone number!

Seti@home is also off for quite some time...

No, they are taken the burden off. This way, you have
1) less security holes on the default install,
2) no need to install flashblock
how is that different from downloading it? It is still not included by default.
safari's flash plugin does not come installed by default. So in this sense, they are right.
Oh, I just forgot. I downloaded the mac os X's kernel source code some time ago, and compiled myself. Can you do this on windows?
