I use Pocket Excel to keep track of my bowling scores when I'm at the bowling alley. It's neat to be able to generate a bunch of statistics. But I have to agree and imagine not too much "real" work gets done in Pocket Office.
Of course I'm not going to listen to even a small fraction of tens of gigs of music in a sitting, but that doesn't negate my wanting ALL of my songs in a playlist.
I consider it like a buffet restaurant, where the appeal (to me anyhow) is not to eat as much food as I possibly can get my hands on, but rather the fact that there are many dishes available for the sampling... whatever strikes my fancy, there it is.
Pretty sure its just the Federal Wire Act, and even thats somewhat a grey area on legality.
The IRS, well so far as I know, they just want your money whether you be crack dealer, bookie, or online gambler. I'm pretty sure its set up so they wont report you to other arms of govt.
You can thank the Slashdot community for spreading such rumors, and inflating 1 in 1000 situations to the point where people make stupid decisions like the above.
In any case, the whining about balance issues misses an important point: "Balance" does not mean that any two players of equal level will be evenly matched in a 1v1 duel. "Balance" means that each class has a niche to fill. For every class there is some situation where that class is better than all the others.
Well freaking said.
I've never seen anything more in whining about balance than 'gimme gimme gimme'. I mean give this people a game of Madden Football and they'd probably complain that the Eagles are overpowered and that the Saints have been "nerfed".
If the man DID feed all of Ethiopia for years, I submit that you'd be on Slashdot whining about how he could have tossed in Eritrea at no extra burden to himself.
I don't see what is so hard to understand about this... Duke Nukem and the Pittburgh Steelers don't offend men because the embody male fantasy about what men should be.
I know this will just be met by a bunch of antecdotal "no's" but I submit to you the female fantasy of the handyman yet cute guy on a show like TLC's "Trading Space". I contend that this character would make many men feel inadequate.

No one attacks the music industry for using half-naked chicks and musclemen with abs-o-steele to get teenagers to watch their videos...
And let's not forget about all of those big hunky male characters in video games like:
The Doom Guy Serious Sam Duke Nukem...
I've never heard another male video gamer complain `Duke's arms are too muscular!` or `Look at those pecs, they're unnatural!`.
They're charactures. It's like complaining that cartoon characters don't look like real people.
Well, actually, they are caricatures of what a man's fantasy man would look/act like. So they are still marketing toward male fantasy there. I don't know that anything is really wrong targeting men, but those are poor counterexamples.
It is not so easy to fix on a non-networked console without permanent storage. And Front page was much better when you downloaded some proper rosters for it.

Why, in the 21st century, is it necessary to fit something like the Mars rover code in 2MB of memory? If something like a Gameboy Advance or a PDA can hold 64MB-a couple gigs, what is holding NASA back, with their gigantic budget and all?
I can't imagine it would be the cost of the memory... I mean I know it costs much much more to make chips to a very strict specification, but if you are already producing so few units, isn't your cost of production going to be extrodinarily high whether you are making 64KB chips or 2MB or even 64MB?
This is not to say that I don't have admiration for fitting all that code in such a small space, but is there a reason they feel the need to do so?
but is that LOTR trilogy on 12 discs because there is actually 100GB of data in the set? Or is it just on 12 discs so the manufacturer can justify some insane pricetag on a big box set?
same thing happened to me. I figure it was just someone else from the same ISP as me causing crap. I certainly never said anything controversial enough to bring out the fables slashdot mods.
Email them and give it 3 months or so and the ban will be lifted.
ok, fine, you won't find any argument from me there.
Hell, we're talking about a geeky project, just make that a search parameter. You could use -L to indicate you only want to search local, progressive businesses.
I'd still want to know who could get me the best deal on a Toaster between Joe's local hardware and Lucy's local appliance.

That's like saying that a piece of art that you bought to hang in your living room has no value because it does nothing.
But it does... it probably brightens your day just as owning the +10 sword of burgerking would probably brighten someone elses day.
different strokes...
Speed LIMIT, not speed minimum!
I'm just a dropout from the U. of North Dakota, but even I know that Penn is a private school.

how does one shuffle their entire playlist of mp3s if they are all divided amongst x number of DVD-Rs?
hey I feel pretty much the same about Mormons and polygamy as the next guy, but since when were people who had sex with 16-year olds pedophiles?

No real opinion on your stance on gambling, but just pointing out the irony in your handle being so tied to "Jimmy the Greek", the famous gambler.

spoken like a man who has never been to Brazil.
as I recall Axis and Allies is horribly unbalanced toward the allies winning (I suppose histotirically accurate, but still...)
Competitve board games should pit people on equal footing, or at least with miniscule imbalance (like who moves first in chess)
