By your logic every HD in a LAN gamer's computer should corrupt in a year. What about laptop drives? How much sturdier are they built? I say use em as backup material, just know that in 10 years after 1000 hours of use they have to be replaced. That won't matter since in 10 years drives should be up to a terabyte.
Should the subtitles be bright white with a black edge? On the left the subtitles are a light gray with some red and occasionally green tints. I wonder if the jpeg compression didn't bias the entire image toward the red scale. Obviously once its been corrected in photoshop the text turns blueish. That's to be expected from photoshop.
Historically childhood didn't exist past 8 or 12 years old. Children went to school if their parents didn't need them working, and the vast majority were working at home/farming, on in factories/apprenticeships by junior high age. I think children should learn how the world works, the more thouroughly the better so they don't reach college so clueless.

I hope you're planning on buying more RAM from somewhere else. You should have 512MB to effectively use the 4400. With less than 512MB you're going to have the HD slowing down performance massively.
When NBC cancelled The Pretender, there was enough fan support to convince the producer of the show to make several two-hour mega-episodes/mini-movies which continue the plot.
yeah so my point was that plenty of god-fearing conservitives are just as bad about following their commandments as non-belivers. of course there are pleny of god-fearing democrats, but those people aren't always liberals.
Sure, cars are like wine. After a fine mercedes I like to try a rough chevrolet and maybe in a couple of days I'll have a classic jaguar. Okay so you didn't mean it that way but that's what came to mind.
its illegal to listen to cell phone conversations isn't it? unencrypted, analog cell phones are a thing of the past, but the law was passed because some companies wanted it that way. most people don't have airspace rights to their property, or mineral rights underneath. by arbitrary law americans don't have the rights to a cable signal passing through their property.
last time I rode my bike on the sidewalk I rode around the people I encountered. the segway is supposed to be as agile as a bike so I don't see the problem. electric scooters should definitely not be on sidewalks as they are difficult to control because of the lower center of gravity. people who ride segways irresponsibly on sidewalks should get tickets. those that don't, won't.
To get technical here, suppose a band covered a song, but didn't tell anyone who they were. The song goes up on Kazaa, thousands of people download it, and the song is still loose. The original band didn't pay a dime for the song, is it still illegal to download if the song comes with a disclaimer declaring it public domain?
I've played games with lens flare and others which mimicked the brightness of the sun. If I look into the sun, the screen is almost white. As I look away, the image darkens, and the white circle of the sun shrinks. The latter effect felt far more real, as though I was there, instead of looking through a piece of glass.
If filmakers don't like the look of a crisp 48fps movie, I'm betting its because they haven't tried to get used to it. The human brain is never hardwired to look at a TV or movie screen at 24fps and think "this is a story." Perhaps the framrate helps us quickly understand we're not looking through a real window. As the Theater is alive and well, I think "real" movies would go over huge if they were simply tried. I'd love to actually comprehend Yoda's moves in Episode 2.
On my computer, it would be cool if I could see search results in three dimentions. When I search for 'Lover' wanting a particular song, I don't care about my porn containing that word. So once the results come up I sort by folder. What would make this faster is if I could sort by folder in one dimention, and file size in another.
For web searches, it would be cool if I could search for 'Katie Holmes' and get my results grouped, possibly in 3D, keeping the porno sites separate from the sites offering information. Sure I could enter more keywords, but that isn't always possible.
The perfect example is when I hear a line or two from a song, but the lines are so general, that even using quotation marks still returns unrelated links. I'd like results grouped into categories so I can look at the 'lyrics' or 'song' listings.
Too many sites use pictures as links for navigation for me to turn off all images. I just block the adds and that's enough for me. I live with flash 5 adds and stop flash 8 adds as soon as they start. I also let.gifs animate only once. The result is my browsing doesn't look so bland and it loads pretty fast as well.
One day soon I'm going to tell everyone using my hotmail account to use a yahoo account I've set up. I tolerated the increasing spam by using the custom filters. This worked until I hit the limit of 36. Then I had to get creative to work within that boundry. This was okay until last week when the my custom filters page now tells me I am over my limit of 10 filters and must delete 26 of them or pay for Hotmail Extra Extortion Services. Fuck them. I had the account before MS bought Hotmail and I tolerated all the crap until now. Yahoo's junk mail filters actually work so that's where I'll be.
Can you tell me who or which company created the idiotic term 'deplane'? Why can't people 'unboard' or 'deboard' or 'get off?' People don't 'deship' at a port, why should aircraft be any different?
No that's not an unfair trade practice. Think about the boy scouts. If they don't want you in their organization, they don't have to let you in./. doesn't have to let you post at all.
What's broken is regional lockouts. I do not support using mod chips to play burned games, and I don't know if those are even available now that xbox games come on DVD. There is no reason I find acceptable to keep me from playing Japanese or European games on a North American system. Companies should bring games to all three markets in a timely fashion. Too many games never make it to certain markets, mod chips actually increase sales of those games for the market it was released in. Plenty of games get brought to NA with awful voice acting in place of the great Japanese. I'd far rather play the Japanese version, especially when the Japanese version has an English subtitles option.

Define a modern IDE drive. The 2.2GB drive in my 1995 Pentium 166 still works perfectly. What the hell are you talking about?

So you're saying that only white guys have health and money? Interesting. Next time leave race out of your posts when it doesn't matter.

What use can there be for at least 37 launch pads on one base?

how can god-fearing people watch friends? It's full of sex between unmarried couples.

Plenty of workplaces have a room or area set aside for commuter bikes. Those that don't should. Encouraging fewer cars on the road is a good thing.

Storage space just keeps increasing.

3DO charged $700, then $500 for the system because the parts were so expensive for 1993.
