I agree with you there. I put a CD-MP3 player in my car recently. After swapping CDs around I made a compilation CD called "Songs that Don't Suck". Out of about 15 Gigs of MP3s on my home server I could only find about 650 Mb for this CD. Now I just leave it on shuffle when I'm driven. I also have a FM tuner hook up to my PC@work(P2P blocked@work) and just record new songs as MP3s. Kinda like the bad-old days of cassettes. Libraries are also a good source of free CDs for high bit-rate ripping:^)
Take a read of this article on Nuclear propulsion. Could be a solution to our slow chemical rockets. The current administration has already started the ball rolling in this.Very interesting.
Cargo capacity has as much to due with design as it does with weight. Look at the Saturn VUE and L100 Wagon. They get the same mileage but the VUE has more cargo space, but is slower to accelerate. It's the function of Weight,Aerodynamics, and Power. that what makes my old 4cyl Fiero fast and fuel effecient.
I Love being a programmer. Took an extended lunch and went to a matinee. Short line, the theatre was half full. They(Regal cinema) screwed up the sound on the reel change so they gave everyone another ticket.
Any way the movie was excellent. Good plot. Good mix of slow story telling and fast action scenes. Some weird gothic references(ghosts,werewolves).
Go see it in a loud theatre with a big screen. My home theatre system is better than Regals, Can't wait to buy the DVD;)
Actually, I have an old GE DVD player(1999) that would not play Anything on CD-Rs(Audio or VCD). I just tried a DVD+R burnt with Nero and compiled with DVDshrink and it worked great. So far I have yet to find a player that will not accept them. At 2$ PER disk and very little recoding time they are far easier than backing up a DVD with VCDs. I'll never go back to VCDs now. Good luck.
They removed the parallel expansion port due to fact that you could buy a certain Gameshark type cartridge and run CD-Rs on it. You coould also buy one that wouuld play VCD,MP-3,MAME, and gameboy game on it. Very expandable The older Playstations are still hard to find for that very reason.
Kinda makes me want to just build a Living room PC with a ATI AIW 9000DV with a DVD-Burner. I have an old AIW 128 in my PC and Archive about 20 hrs of TV shows a week to VCD. Mostly Futurama, Anime, and Pr0n. I must be EVIL;~)
I used a multi-compartment fishing box for my LAN system. Just put the Mini-ATX board and DVD+RW drive in the large center area and all the Misc cables in the outer compartments. Also put a $199 7-inch LCD in it for quick gaming and video editing.
Is this part of that giant sucking sound that Ross Perot talked about? American jobs going overseas is part of a long Pansy Scheme that may end up with a small number of ultra rich CEO's and a large number of unskilled underpaid american in-DUH-viduals scrapping to get what ever crap service jobs are left.
This (or maybe the next) generation of school kids are faced with going to college to get a Degree in medicine, law, or business because those may be the only high paying jobs that haven't been outsourced to foriegn lands.
Yea but have you ever had fried korean eggs with a little Kemshee on the side and a Soju chaser.
Now to be serious. I've been stationed in south korea twice and have seen how they have prospered into a very advanced society rivaling japan and the US. They have a higher percentage of literacy and internet usage than we do. The oppressed north can barely feed its people with the food and oil we give them for free. North Korea is no better than a punk with a gun on the street extorting resources from everyone around.
Geeks have come one step closer to the robot love dolls from the movie Cherry2000. Go to Realdolls.com and find the section on PC interface. I believe it uses a LAN (802.11?) connection to send sensor data from the eregenous zones to a PC. The PC then plays back random sound clips (moaning & screaming) for the corresponding pleasure sensors. At $10K they are a bit pricey, but then they never say "Not to night I have a head ache" 8^D~
Maybe instead of doing something silly, They could have tried a special version that reports to MSN that it is MS Exploiter. A interesting feature could be that you could have a setting that tells the web server what ever you set it to (IE Exploiter or netscape). Might solve the broken style sheet version problem.
There is already a cool media player for the PS2 called the Qcast tuner. I beta tested this program and could do everthing but record TV. I have a all-in-wonder in my linux media server that takes care of that. The server software they wrote works on Linux/Mac/Win. It can play MPEG-1,2,4 and DivX 3.11-5 video. Also plays MP-3 and Ogg audio (no WMA, what a pity). Works with Cat 5 and 802.11 a,b,g. It also plays audio through the S/PDIF port on the PS2. It rocks
My favorite computer in my collection is my Pen-Based Tablet Compaq Concerto. These were sold with a version of Win 3.1 called Pen for Windows in 94. It has a i386-33Mhz with 20mb RAM and a 200 Mb HD. The keyboard was removable and a lot cooler styled than any of the current NEW tablet PCs. The hand-writing recognition worked good. I upgraded it to Win95 and a 802.11a PCMCIA card. Not bad for a 8 year old PC.
My other oldies are:
80' Vic-20 w/tape drive Tandy pocket PC-4 Tandy Color Computer Commodore Plus/4 Commodore 128D HP Jornada 820 (Mini Laptop w/ WinCE) 2- Compaq Lunchbox Luggables w/HD Mac Classic Zenith 8086 Laptop w/ 2Mb HD
Quality in the software industry has also taken a nose dive. It seems that every new PC game made has a patch available within weeks of hitting the shelves. This could be a lack af proper testing.
A good example would be the new Harry Potter game. The PC version retails for 29.99 and the PS2 version is $49.99. The PS2 version will work flawlessly and never need to be patched. This is paying for quality. I will buy the PS2 version so I can avoid fighting with winblows and patches.

Sounds as bad as Ranma 1/2. I'll take Cowboy Bebop or Trigun any day.

Actually the US Air Force owns and operates GPS satellites. It is run through the Navstar Global Positioning System Joint Program Office in Los Angeles, a USAF agency.
Bin Ladden's money came from his family that does construction work for the Oil industry in Saudi Arabia.
So does this mean that Oil use funds terrorism??
I once fell of a swing and broke my ass. Can I sue Steven Olson the Inventor of Swinging for lost work time?
Doesn't Al Gore own the Patent on the internet, he created it.

There is already a pR0n movie called Junkyard Dykes. Best scene is the Dildo attached to the cordless hammer drill %^O

Step 1: Build crap printer
Step 2: Force everyone to buy your toner cartridges
Step 3: PROFIT!!

They will probably have him blowing up everything like normal hollywood fare.
Wil Wheaton would have probably been a better choice (IMHO).
