Keeping one locked up it's entire life is no different than doing a bonsai kitty.
Well there is more effort ito making a bonsai kitten. I have no idea where I can get small acrylic boxes.
And I'm ashamed that you wouldn't even give a link to the site.
on a serious note, I think your full of crap. I've had many cats throughout my life and every time I give in and let them "have the chance to explore" it's been run over by a car.
Now I have 3 cats, all indoor, 2 kittens even. I have to say, these are the happiest animals I have ever seen.
not to sound shallow, but I hope you get splinters from that tree your hugging.
well after reading the article, i tested that theory in the config editor. it comes up exactly like I said.
basically, yes it could work as a 40 key keyboard, but true chording is out of the question. unless of course you write the software to accomidate the errors.
the previous version of the nostromo, the n50 ( same thing w/ less keys and less orange ) had some linux software written for it avalible here
I have one of those installed right now, although it's impossible to do chording on it. When you hold down the 6,7, and 3 keys it also shorts the 2 key... a pain in the *** when i', playing doom3 straifing and trying to move forward while running. I keep taking out my soulcube. there are other chording anomolies in this device.
The only way it can handle it is by using the d-pad as the chord modifier and even then you can oly get 40 keys out of it (10 keys times 3 shift states and one primary state).
I love the device, but unless the new ones have this chording crap figured out I'll have to pass.
well I guess you can't do it anymore... the site: http://www.thinsoftinc.com/ had a software called winconnect XP that was quite extrordinary. it allowed multiple screens like this as well as multiple RDP connections like win 2k3 term server.
not true, normally multiple people will not be using SIMS or UT2004 all at the same time. odds are, as in the article's example... they will be using simple programs. Mostly e-mail and editors. Hardly CPU hogs. Personally my main 'terminal' runs the essentials (ut2004, fallout, ect.) and the second 'terminal' runs communications, e-mail, ect.
Look at 90% of underage geek households. The kid has the family pc held hostage playing Halo or something, while the older siblings or the parents just want to surf, do homework, e-mail, chat, ect.
There is no way you can convince me that the freedom that maybee $40 can buy with this technology is second to buying about $500 worth of equipment so Suzy can chat with Brad on-line.
It's not like the computers cycles are cut down the middle. try it and you'd be suprised how little the framerate drops in your favorite game when another terminal is surfing.
This is not new, I've been doing this on a WinPC for about 6 months now. I have no way of affording 2 machines, but an old (or cheap, $30) video card, a USB mouse/keyboard, is a heck of alot cheaper than 500+ for another machine.
and BTW, most applications of this technology are VERY flexable... for example in a friends cybercafe, atlest 4 people per machine run sims at the same time.
I've done exactly what your doing to a pocketPC (audiovox thera) and an IPAQ with card for verizon wireless 1X network. I had to keep the bandwidth below 100 k for reliable data, but wm9 codec was able to handle it.
I was able to watch ed, edd, and eddy, while going over a remote mountian pass. made the trip bearable.
good luck and if you need pointers on wme let me know.
so what your saying is run away scared because you *might* piss someone off... if that was the general mood of the whole internet, we'd still be on telnet accounts through compuserve dialup.
WME is great for this, I stream DSS and watch it on a pocketPC across Verizon wireless while on trips. lock it into TechTV or Cartoon network and alls peechy.
watch your outgoing bandwidth though... you can saturate it really quick with any streaming media.
with the relitively low melting point of lead, you could just dip your head in molten lead. assuming you can still move, then put the foil hat over that... then seek immediate medical attention... then seek immediate psycological evaluation.
Everyone seems hooked on tha palmOS, I however opted for the pocketPC Audiovox Thera.
I love it. Simple as that. Yes it can be a little annoying/unstable if you load memory resident programs onto the SD chip, but with a little forethought it can be managed.
Sure they could do more, but it has sold me on smartphones for a while to come.
The convergence of a higher level computer and phone services works for me. I went from having to carry 2 pda's and a phone to one device.
not to mention on verizon I get some pretty nice wireless speeds.
sorry for the rant, but I couldn't be without the thing anymore.

A MMOG based on Oz, targetted at younger people? I hope that they leave out the shanking and anal sex.
Although it would be intresting to see how your charicter handles not dropping the soap.
Hey mom I just got a job in OZ!!! smuggling cigarrettes into cyberspace!

ya, but what about the .ogg soundtracks?
erm.... what exactly are Slashdot personals?
Left hand meet right hand.
Maybe his cubicle's a stall in the 3rd floor bathroom.
Wifi, a laptop and those paper seat covers make for a wonderful work environment!
I wonder how long it will take for them to catch on that the tinfoil hats simply act as an antenna to help us channel our mind control waves.
Great, tell everyone.... I was having fun making them run into walls with my radio shack racecar remote!
now we'll need to start with the remote control chips under the skin again... CRAP! Now I told everyone about it!
EVERYONE YOU ARE SAFE... KEEP USING FLOURIDE TOOTHPASTE. That is all.
Exactly. Whereas if the GBA had to run Windows, we would be totally furious.
Exactly why my Pocketpc 2002 cellphone has spontaniously rebooted 3 times tonight.
Arm Processor... Windows Weakness.

the site seems to be down now.

not all of us buy 20 bux computers.
Window Media Encoder is my proggie of choice.

I would stare at her chect while playing video games anywhere
I could see it now...
stuck on the first level of mario and you just let the mushroom kill you every time.
I think this configuration would drastically ruin high scores.
of course, noone could complain about games being anti-social.
they already beat ya to it...

I love degrading pornography, and I defend to the death your right to download it.
Yet, you'll still post about it as Anonymous Coward.

Hell, I don't even know any songs that employ four channels. Why do I need more channels again?
well just in case you want to rip the audio from a copy of star wars THX edition and drive down the highway as red one.
you need the laser effects to come from behind so you know if the subaru in the other lane is red 2 or a tie fighter.
gotta get that shot in the manhole cover before your shot down.
just lock a midget in the trunk to simulate r2-d2.
So just make an identical looking device which produces a squawk no matter whose voice it is.
or change out the shell of your real card with the one your faking. card says 'shirly' it responds to 'lucy'.
Print the media with a conventional printing press (beit a really good one). then spray a liquid coating on.
Really cheap process, and no metals involved.
Might come in hand in the bathroom?
"hand"?
What the hell are you doing in there anyway?
Is that a pr0n disk you have there?
