That is only a small part of the cost. i have had my tivo for 5 years now and I can tell you that they are wonderful.
However, space is so much more expensive then on a pc, you can't upgrade without voiding the warranty and to top it off, once you include subscription as part of the cost it suddenly jumps to a 400 dollars box, not cheap.
When my current tivo dies, i may just have to go with a myth tv option - it could be cheap even if i buy all brand new parts.
Also, I'm an artist, and in fact I supported myself as one before going to law school. But again copyright wasn't very relevant to me. I would've done the same thing even if copyright didn't exist, and would've gotten paid for it. There are ways for artists to make money that don't involve copyrights, you know. (Which explains how there were artists prior to the first copyright law, in England, in 1710)
Thats a dirty, dirty LIE! Do NOT try and fill our future cash cows with such outlandish falsehoods!! Copyright is your Lord and Master and Ye shall obey!
I do not see how either of these protect inalienable rights, and I do believe that all three of these activities would receive a 'thumbs' up in a pure democracy (i.e. nationwide referendum)
Which leads to the question i have had for a while now: where is the better slashdot? I am looking for a site that cover the same range of topics as/. but has a better mod system in place......
wow, i make all of my decisions based on anti-hype or how leet they appear. much better then loooking at the product for it's own merits.
Backlash? Backlash from hyper happens when something is hyped WAY over the top, leaving the value of the4 product behind. Easiest example is how the PS2 hype is going to make the hyping of PS3 that much harder.
Well, if everyone on/. knew how to read the posted the fine stories, people wouldn't have to repeat the obvious......like the fact that the original poster couldn't read the fine story...
Help! i have entered a recursive post about recursive posts...which I suppose is perfect for this story about Ms stealing ideas from people who tell stories about people stealing ideas....
That is a very simple answer to a very complex situation. The question could be "where will i do the most good? Here in the Senate trying to find balance? Or on the street knowing i voted for what i know was right but changed nothing."
Or alot of them are just big pussies that haven't a spine and aren't willing to do a damn thing to save us all.
You are correct: We had no legal right to rebel. Neither did the South. Did we have a moral right? Depends on what you feel is morally right. Ditto for the South.
Frankly, if anyone in the South still wants to be their own country,be my guest. The best thing that ever happened to the South was they lost.
not a damn thing. Like i said,i find it funny where people want to draw the line about what is and isn't natural......man has been killing things for a very long time,no reason for us to stop now.....
Um,so you have the time to read and respond to this guys posts,but don't log in and instead just rant in your replies? sad dude,regardless who is right.
besides, even if it doesnt run anything and just installs auto-magic like, that STILL isnt smart.
you are forgeting the most natural form of controling population: roaming packs of wolves! I am sure that people would be much happier with that solution, just as god intended! We might loose the odd person to those packs, but at least people would not be hunting the cute little deer!! BAMBIII!!!!
Your totally right that you can get more, but whats the power/wattage difference? I can not envision 96 AMD64s being so easily powered as this system is. It seems to me that they are not competing on price, but size and power consumption.
It would depend on what was being decided. The rules are often linked to the tools, which implicitly includes peoples bodies. Change the bodies you have changed the rules.
So which rules can you change and still be playing the same game played 100 years ago?
It doesnt even touch on the fact that not everyone is going to want or be able to benefit from the same advancements.
There are of course problems....mainly for people who don't post much. they quickly sink to the level of trolls by trying to do a good deed and have no way to redeem themselves.
There are other problems I feel as well however that doesn't matter because you might be able to fix all issues that could be mentioned. When will/. change thou?? I don't remember the last major change that happened here. Thats a problem that seems tougher to crack...
So your theises is that indian programmers can learn enligh and PHP but not how to comment?
I have know lots of americain programmers say the code documents itself. Many bad programmers think comments are not needed and it has nothing to do with where they are from but how they are taught.
Outsourcing may or may not be a serious issue, outsourcing may or may not be a danger to americain programmers but commented code, or lack of, isn't going to play a very large part in the outcome.

how is that for a source??.thou,it DOES say flash memeroy, which implies storage and not working ram.....
Thats a dirty, dirty LIE! Do NOT try and fill our future cash cows with such outlandish falsehoods!! Copyright is your Lord and Master and Ye shall obey!
Only if everyone voted.

it does amaze me that some people just don't have the faintest thing resembling a clue sometimes.....oh,for mod points....
but that might involve culling some wayward children and pets and thats not natural!!
It always amazes me what some people decide to call natural.
oh,in case it wasn't clear,i assume you were pointing out the smae thing i was: that people pick and choose what the want to call natural.
I can think of that some people do not eat meat. Here we go
1) Health. Some people feel that eating meat is unhealthy for you.
2) To get laid. But then guys will do anything for that,so I suppose that is a reason for anything.
3) They really hate plants.
I had a friend who would only eat animals that ate their own young. Basically, if it is good enough for the animal it is good enough for us.

Would SOE want to pay for her though? somehow i think they are trying to go the cheapest route they can........
