Yeah, wouldnt it make more sense to put a phone onto a laptop computer? at least then you`d have a chance of actually seeing which webpage you were on?
Sony lobbied to get the PS2 classed as a entertainment device, rather than a computing device, to save on tax in the EU. I wonder if they'll have to pay money back if, or rather when all this PC retro fitting takes place.
Interesting site, but i cant find an explanation of why its supposed to be faster. Something to do with distributing commonly used keys away from each other (for fast alternating of left/right hands, assuming this IS actually faster)?
But if this were true, you`d expect a different layout for each (substantially different) language? Any sites with explanations of why, rather than what?
"in Denmark, where I am from, I would say that over 90% of people between 15 and 40 speak english near fluently"
My GF lives there, so i visit quite a lot (Nice country! I`m from England so I appreciate people being nice, the cleanliness, efficient public transport etc. Its also good to hear English being spoken properly!).
Its funny when you hear people talking Danish, but with sentences littered with the occasional English `oh yeah`, `i dont think so` etc!
>If you have decided that you want to protect >your language, then what's insane about being >specific;)
I found it funny that Dansk Big Brother decided that the contestants werent to use english phrases...something like that. That was strange on a program called `Big Brother` (and not Stor Bror or whatever:) Insane or other - at least be consistent!!
The page works now - strange!
I`ll check your links out now too. I wanted to get into Beos, as it sounded really really good..then i tried a demo, and it didnt support my video card (tseng labs et6100)..then i heard about Steinberg, and that was that.
Hmm. Nice blank page!
Ironic really - didnt think Beos was bothering with the audio market. Steinberg gave up Cubase developement a long time ago - is anyone developing audio apps for Beos?
(i dont think it was a troll either - mods on crack and all that!)
If its embracing porn or banning it...well, if its available, then the people who like it can view it, and the ones that dont, dont have to. How about that for a compromise?
Body image is an internal thing, best dealt with by the people who have the problem. Saying `porn causes some people to have an image problem and therefore we should ban it` is just sloppy logic. I just dont believe its true.
Its like saying `chocolate causes obesity, so we should ban it`. I think that having a few large people around is a small price to pay for me to continue having the odd sugary snack every few weeks. It`s not fair to use other peoples poor life choices as a reason to make my life less enjoyable, and limit what i can do. You`ll be saying cannabis leads on to harder drugs next!
Many people have a problem with their bodies - most dont seem to want to put the effort into staying in shape and eating properly unless they`ve been forced into doing so by a doctor to treat some condition which probably could have been avoided if they`d eaten properly in the first place.
I`m afraid there is absolutely no evidence that porn is connected to this `body image` problem of which you speak. You can`t prove cause and effect in this way - you may just as well say that because there are so many fat girls, men seek refuge in porn. Its the whole `does violence on tv cause violence in real life, or is the former merely a reflection of the latter` debate again.
"There are literally hundreds of OS projects like this one"
I think though, thanks mainly to a swift response from the government, which is using the army to destroy rogue OS`s, as well as fully qualified systems engineers working out in the field, that the number of new Operating Systems has fallen to its lowest daily level since 1991, so there is no need for the public to panic.
"are more harmful than the pervasive objectification of women which results in real-world problems like rape and anorexia."
Whats this - a quote from Watchtower or something! Strangely, the open minded citizens of Europe dont share your belief that soft porn is responsible for that. Perhaps you`d feel more at home in the progressive regimes of Saudi Arabia, Iran etc?
Well, the idea is that the programmers can say `who cares how big my game is - it doesnt matter! storage is cheaper than ever, the main loop of the game is fast enough, and if its not, get a better 3d card/faster cpu/more ram - its cheap. This allows me to concentrate on good gameplay!".
Thats the idea. Unfortunately, this idea is not backed up by any games i`ve seen in the last few years.

I`m hoping my MP3`s will be safe! :)
With approximations and revisions we are getting closer to the truth.
You and your ilk, on the other hand, were always wrong.
...Has been in a lot of crap since, and refuses to attend just about any Monty Python related event.
A friend attended one such gathering and heard the announcement:
"Due to an attack of bitterness, Eric Idle will not be attending this evenings event!"
I`ve often seen him talking via satellite link from the States, while the others are all gathered together in a studio.
Managed to find a nanny filter thing which can deal with https:\\www.safeweb.com yet?

I dont think teachers are paid enough to mark assignments written in Perl!
Well, i guess, having finished the PS2, Sony could just sit around doing absolutely nothing for a few years!

Well, assuming they actually bought them in the first place! Are www.HotWarez.ru or wherever going to ask for an ID too?

You`ve never heard of base jumping? Pretty popular, yet highly illegal. Except in some parts of the far east!
Or activists could use it to get *into* company meetings!
