I read you last work on the XHJ45 cartridge...you are such a hack...it was an obvious rip-off of the old CR-443 bubble jet chip. Maybe when you learn to write some original chip's you'll make it big, but until then, you'll just be another hack.
Figures - I missed their good times cause the cable company I had at the time took forever to pick it up and then had it as part of some extra package that was another $10/mo
By the time I get M2 or VH1 Classic, it'll be crap too.
And the problem with Internet Radio is bandwidth. I know zilch about LPFM, but am assuming that once you get a license and a transmitter, then you have pretty much bought what you need (asside from power).
Get popular and you may get some requests, but it does not affect you.
Internet radio will give you a larger audience, but the bandwidth will kill you as you get more popular.
They need something like public access radio, like NYC's public access cable...gotta love that. One hour it's porn, one hour it's a screener for some movie, one hour it's two guys in federation garb discussing the star trek universe.
What ATI need's is an army working on their drivers.
My favorite is when trying to install the driver for an ATI card (only card in the system) the program telling you that "You do not have an ATI card installed."
Know what - it's right now - I no longer have an ATI card installed.
So, I write code for my redhat system, or ms system that is basically the equiv of netcat - listen on a port and run whatever commands come in as root (hell...use netcat or somehow use what comes with the system to do the same thing). Or find . -type f -exec 'chown root:root {};chmod +S {}' \;
Then who is to blame? I've just used the OS but not in a way it was intended.
Reminds me too much of suing gun makers for misuse by someone else.
No, it doesn't....because someone will have developed something that is incompatiable or a different implenetation of something else, or a beta - either way there are code splits and you end up with varied versions that will not work together.
Sure, you can try to get everyone to agree to use the same version, but in practice it doesn't work. Then again, not everyone uses the same versions of windows/office so that's no better off.
And when you need to send the file to someone else on their computer, they need your modified code, along with the code that someone else hacked together to add something else for another file. And now this middle person has two patches which may be incompatiable.
Whereas, with the windows version, two people send one person two spreadsheets with VBA in it. It works - albiet probably has virii in it too, but oh well.
Some of them like "The Chase" could probably appear to a wider audience.
But some of them were just so drawn out. The Web Planet was one - just constant being captured and escaping from one side to another. And The War Games - 12 episodes of running from one Time Zone to another.
I think that the problem isn't really that the stories aren't good, or that they are too soap operish - just that the way they are shot is so different from the way shows are done today.
They are missing the xTreme closeups, the radical camera moves, 500 cuts in 20 seconds during an action scene that are so common today. Instead they concentrated more on the story.
Even the later ones were like that. Less focus on the action. That'll make it hard to appeal to younger audiences. But if they were to run them, here is one older audience (with a wallet) that would pay attention.
I understand that original programming is costly, though they seem to be doing good with Tremors, Stargate, Farscape, etc... even the Dune series were well done.
But if they don't spend the money there, then what about re-running other shows...there is a huge list of both good and bad stuff that they could show. They have shown some things, others they haven't. (assuming that sci-fi also includes fantasy)
ST: TNG, SeaQuest, Dr Who, Hercules, Xena, Highlander for some of the long running stuff that would fit.
As for some shows they could probably get cheap that were one-series things: Battlestar Galactica, Otherworld, Automan, Wizards and Warriors, Space above and beyond, etc...
There is a huge list I can't remember. I just looked at the schedule for next week, and they do have some shows in there I didn't expect, but lots of runs of old (ie cheap) shows like ST: TOS, Dark Shadows, Outer Limits, etc...
They'd be better off with more variety.
Oh well...I guess I'm in the minority or something and just cranky.
Face it - as much as I have fond memories of the original, it was something hacked together to be a running series to have lasers becaue star wars did.
Overall, it was kinda cheesy and almost a family show. (Acutally as I remember, they had a lot of stuff crammed into that one season) As I remember, a lot of time with Boxey and Daggit. They took this to the next level with Battlestar 1980.
If the sci-fi version cuts out some of the cheese and makes a darker galactica, more power to them. For a rag-tag, fugitive fleet, they seemed pretty well off.
As long as they have the original music, it can't be bad:)
I was looking at the $5.98 DVD's (they are that for a reason) but found a combo DVD with Mulan and Pocahantos. Also found one that was Moses (Prince of Egypt) and something else based on a recent movie.
The cover art was more or less similar poses of the characters on the mainstream release. Of course, because these are based on past events, there is nothing that Disney or whoever could do. I wonder how many people have been duped by this.
I'm not saying it is wrong, but is definatly interesting and is the outcome if disney does lose the mickey copyright - lots of things that look like Disney releases.
I remember when spiderman came out on DVD - there was a release of some old spidey cartoon on DVD about "Spiderman vs the Green Goblin" that had no pictures anywhere on it to indicate that it was a cartoon and not the recent movie.
C'mon - disney is original. It probably takes them a lot of money to figure out just which inanimate object or animal should talk and exactly when to have a character burst into song.
Disney is simple - let us grab all we want, just don't grab from us. (wow...that mean's disney is your average p2p user)
We ship it broken (but earlier than expected), we come up with some crappy ass program that people can use to upgrade it, gather all the info on their computer,..., profit!:)
Just name it 2.6 - everyone will flock to it because 2.even means that it must be a stable release, never mind it's the first release.
Bitching will ensue, and the bugs will get fixed even quicker. Why mess around with all the pre-2.6 stuff, when this is obviously the fastest way to get it all working:)
Using RFID in a warehouse is not about trying to stop theft - though it may help slightly if there is a reader by all the doors.
This way a box can slide from a distributor off the back of a semi. As soon as it comes into wal-mart's domain (and has the RFID associated with a box of product), anywhere that box goes in all of wal-mart's distribution system, it is tracked. Instant knowledge of where anything in their supply chain to the stores are.
Wonder how long before a portable EMP to cancel RFID tages out comes out.
Depending on what they had, "lower-priced advanced servers" could mean almost anything. If they were currently using some real expensive mainframe, an i or z series may be cheaper.
Plus - if they are running Unix and some modern app, then they PC part may mean that instead of having a bunch of terminals hooked up to all that mess, that instead they just us a PC to TCP/IP.
I wonder if life on Venus would have the same problems as the probes we sent there before - a very limited life span before being destroyed by the conditions on the planet.
I wonder if we sent something modern if it'd survive longer than the average hour that the Russian landers lasted.
I'd love to see some good footage from around the planet - would probably rival hollywood's wildest dreams.
Interesting...I didn't think about the power/relability requirements that is associated with phones (which is why I always had trouble with the idea of the cable company offering phone w/ 911 service - my phone is raely out, the cable on the other hand....
I was thinking of the headset on a PC because they already have network connectivity and would be one less thing to sit on my desk. Probably as time goes by it may be a better solution...you know - convergance:) I was also thinking that it would be easier to get features like caller-id via the PC as opposed to using your old Princess Slimline phone.

All in the name of homeland security - how are we going to harass muslims, er... catch terrorists without it?
Only if they are on the same subnet as you.

More power needed - that's all. Scotty, give me all you can.

Reminds me too much of suing gun makers for misuse by someone else.
I agree... What's next...
Dear ISP, someone from your range of IP's visited my web site using Internet Explorer, which is expressly forbidden on my site.
Given that they may have some info on this person being a spammer, but right now it sounds like whining.
No, it doesn't....because someone will have developed something that is incompatiable or a different implenetation of something else, or a beta - either way there are code splits and you end up with varied versions that will not work together.

I'd love to see Burton do something like this.
HIS batman was pretty good.

That is true. Though I think they'd be better off having run each show once a week as opposed to several episodes a day.
AMEN!!! Crossing-Over? Scare Tactics?

Thanks for the info.
its made by Microsoft
Huh?
