the PS3 does support CoD4 with 18 players, and if large multiplayer games are your thing MAG is supposed to support 256 players when it comes out. no, you wont get halo, but pretty much every other hot title is available for both XBOX360 and the PS3, so i'm curious, why are people so averse to the PS3?
that level of bandwidth availability may not equal its use. And as someone who has a 100Mbps connection i realistically only see about 50-70Mbps. I dont have any sort of service level agreement with my ISP, and i can pretty much guarantee neither does NASA, afterall its space. so if they're net result is a daily avearge of 46Mbps of data thats pretty awesome considering all the variables that would determine the total bandwidth.
the point is that before you read it, did you know there was a TWT orbiting the moon withh 100Mbps bandwidth transferring over 400GB of data a day? if not, then you learned something new.
where in TFA does it address Verizons failure to do a background check? unless by "background check" you mean BLACKground check" for all you know the VZ tech could have had a clean record, sure he looks like he killed his mom, but so what? the plantiffs lawyer says every company has a responsibility to screen employees, This is especially true with Verizon because of the level of interaction with customers. that does not mean Verizon didnt do this, that means hes a shady lawyer trying to make you assume they did not. dont get me wrong, i am NOT on the side of the defendant here, i probably would have stabbed the guy if he came into my house and attacked me. i wouldnt wanna kill him per se, that would be disproportionate, but a good shanking, that would be an effective deterrent and not necessarily be lethal.
speaking of jumping to conclusions, where does the guys race have ANYTHING to do with it, for all you know the homeowner could be black as Denzel Washington and Lauryn Hills love child with a black panther flag on his door.
my ex took prednisone.. dosing up wasnt so bad but comming off that stuff... holy hell. seriously, thats probably half the reason we're divorced. that steroid turned her into mess, laughing one second, 10 seconds later bawling, 10 seconds later ready to punch somebody in the face. if your married i seriously recommend discussing the mental state those things will put you in when you change dosage. i see that you avoid it but just as a fair warning.
I want to be able to do more than read Comic Books with a reader program. I want to be able to read PDF, ODF, RTF, HTML, CHM, and other formats that eBooks come in.
If I buy a PSP or Slim PS3, I want an educational value for it as well as a gaming one. I want more than a Language Tutor program or BrainAge, I want to be able to read eBooks as well.
I am sticking to a PS2...
last i checked the PS2 has none of those features. if you're serious about using a gaming console for education i actually think the PS3 is about as close as you'll get. in addition to the obvious of being able to teach somebody the basics of running linux from the command line, since its the only console with a blu ray you can get the blue planet series on BD its an incredible documentary that is full of education.
The BC was sketchy at best and several games suffered performance issues or didnt run at all. Because the PS2 proccessor was actually incorporated into the PCB it caused some performace issues for PS3 games as well. software emulation would be nice but personally i think the PS3 would need more RAM to effectively due this without any noticeable performance issues. i actually waited until the BC was removed to buy mine for this reason. you can pick up a used PS2 from Game Stop for $60.
That wasnt by any stretch to indicate that Australia is a bad place, it makes the short list of places i'd like to live, i was referencing it due to it proximity to NYC which according to my highly technical 'two fingers on a school globe' methodology puts AU about as far from NYC as any place on earth, thats all.
hahah oops i didnt see you were replying to the troll, i had my threshold set too high, thought you were replying to the GP's remark about the Sheriff posing with Neo-Nazis
Uhh, 1968 called. They want their cheap political stereotypes back.
they guy provided evidence in a link... perhaps you should read it. but since you're too busy slinging your wit around i'll help you out this time.
As it happens, the young man posing for him is none other than Thomas Coletto, aka "Vito Lombardi" -- who, as Stephen Lemons reports, is not only the local leader of a neo-Nazi outfit, but was also busted for burglary in a supposed "Columbine"-type plot two years ago.
you would be a licensee, as one to whom use of a license is given. a licensor is one to whom the right of distributing licensing is given. Of course, this could be all smoke and mirrors as the spell checker doesnt recognize licensor as even being a real word
are you so amped up about the healthcare debate you wanted to start slinging buzzwords here? astroturfing and spin? really? is there some sort of secret plot by google to own peoples minds? do you also fear black helicopters?
Financial institutions care. they rely on super low latency for trades and transactions, which is why many data centers are located on some of the most expensive land in America, North NJ, specifically Bayonne and Jersey City as they are within spitting distance of NYC and Wall st
They use the Linux platform to the absolute max, leveraging all the blood and sweat Linux developers poured into its development over the past 15 years, and yet, not contributing back any of their most significant enhancements.
i see your point, but its not like google isnt giving signifigantly in return. most people would be hard pressed to deny that Googles search engine was a game changer in the interweb. at its release it was leaps and bounds better tahn just about anything out there, and is still the gold standard for finding information. hell they gave us the verb "to google" we got a pretty decent browser out of it, gmail, google docs, google maps, and a whole bunch of other stuff they've generated. not to mention a forthcoming OS. at this point i can already hear critics screaming about Googles profits driving these services, and you know what, maybe they are, but i havent paid Google a dime, and most likely, neither have you. i dont care if they make money, theres nothing wrong with it, and i'm even happier that they make money without involving me whatsoever. in many ways i would think Google would be a champion to the FOSS community. so they want to keep a filesystem proprietary, frankly thats not so bad, competition is good but competitors arent usually. Google is a good counter balance to Microsoft and other would-be owners of the interwebs. are they "good" as in saintly? no, but they never claimed to be, they claimed "dont be evil" i'd say they're pretty far from that.
While i would personally love to see a place like WY, or the rust belt get a bunch of data centers, there are some issues that would need to be addressed that realistically leave the northeast and west coast the only major viable locations for most data centers. Firstly, the issue of infrastructure rears its head in much of the midwest, WY, MT and the like, are likely lacking sufficient power supply and readily available bandwidth to realistically facilitate large amounts of data centers. While it is not necessarily outrageous to supply these services here, it does take time, years to build power plants and run fiber trunks. Secondly, data centers like to be close to their clients, or actually clients like to be close to their data centers, and its not just for the paranoid CEO who is afraid of his 1's and 0's being counted, for example, many financial institutions rely on low TTL numbers for precision stock market transactions, which is why there is a large number of data centers in northern NJ, directly across the Hudson from the stock exchange. The physical distance of a corporations data could make it less profitable. If distance were of no concern Australia would probably be the best place for data centers. there is also the factor of talent pool. personally i'd love to live in WY, but not many engineers i know would agree, and even in a tough economy asking your workforce to uproot and move to what they may feel is barren-wasteland ville-tucky will probably yield a lot of attrition (they didnt name the badlands in WY "the badlands" because of the convenient shopping.).
i'm sure theres excellent rebuttals of these points, its not really something i've researched but off the top of my head, thats what i think. correct me where i'm wrong.
for those that find value in time _and_ money, compromise.
netbook + OSX86 = cheap macbook
my MSI wind runs OSX _beautifully_ its fully functional (save for the headphone and microphone jack but thats hardly a deal breaker for me) and the display drivers are actually better than the OEM windows ones, so my screen is actually easier to read as a result. my macbook cost me $300 and a couple hours of reading.
i reckon i saved about $500 and i learned a lot which probably was worth more than the time it took so really, i should say i saved about $699
well, i would say they could hamper Sony's PS3 figures significantly, but "kill Sony"? no, definitely not "real quick". Sony, like Microsoft makes _many_ things that arent game consoles. Sony makes lots of stuff that MS doesn't even touch: TVs, Cameras, Projectors, Stereo Equipment, Laptops (which run MS products, coincidentally), a wide array of A/V hardware, oh yeah, and Movies. Microsoft makes none of these things. sure, it would suck for Sony if the PlayStation dissappeared tomorrow, but it certainly wouldn't "kill Sony", not by a long shot.
Why do people actually think that IE "beat" Netscape?! It was just made default and installed on every new computer. You had to use IE to go download Netscape. Ever since then, it's had a majority.
hence Microsoft beat Netscape. Netscape is soon to be featured on VH1s where are they now. Support for the Netscape browser stopped in March of 2008 Netscape no longer exists as a standalone competitor in the browser world. Since MS deployed IE as the default browser and it was "good enough" for most people, Netscape was crippled, it lost relevance and never got back its footing. if you take away "product A's" relevance and provide such vastly superior access to a viable alternative with "product B" consumers will generally stop using "product A" legal or otherwise, they got beat
for that matter, nobody has yet to explain to me why a serious news media outlet has to be a for profit business. why? what is so fundamentally necessary about profit for articulating and disseminating news? when you throw profit into the mix you get agendas. there are thousands of non-profit organizations that provide reliable services to their clients. i'm not saying that moving journalism to the non-profit business model would fix journalism, it dosent. while i think its halfway decent, NPR is certainly far from perfect as a news outlet and i think we could all agree on that. however, i think profit is a corrupting influence and anything that is worth making an institution about, be it healthcare, journalism, social services, etc. these are things that ostensibly _should_ be done by people who love to do them _because_ they love to do them, not because they want to climb a corporate ladder. if you have a physician who is practising medicine in order to get rich, stay away from him, he obviously cares about money more than healthcare, i'd rather find a doctor who loves to make people healthy and loves medicine more than money. journalism follows the same reasoning, if Murdoch is in business to make money (which he unashamedly is) then there is no question that the quality of his work is secondary to the profit it derives.
the question isint whether or not the end user should have to pay for news media, its _why_ an end user should have tp pay for media (of any sort) i frankly have no interest in lining peoples pockets, but i will definitly pay for them to improve the quality of the services they deliver to me. a non-profit busniess model is about the only way i can be sure of that.
this begs the question, are you a pedantic basement dweller?;) i thought the question was implicit as he raised the the issue of creating terahertz coherency. so to my (admittedly not infallible) logic this logically begs the question of whether or not this new method of terahertz generation could be harnessed for this application.
i could be wrong, but hell, whats life without a few grammatical errors and malapropisms?
