I got a DS Lite and somebody I know got to play some of the same games for over a year more than me.
In fact even though mine was less bulky he still got to play all the same games as me it just doesn't really feel fair. Shouldn't yours offer a lot less functionality, I had to wait almost 2 years.
Well before the launch they were talking about how they produced so many units you should just be able to walk into your local retailer and walk out with one(sans waiting in line in cold weather for hours) on launch day.
That is not true.
<a href="http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/ 11/01/1855217">Here</a> is a story where Reggie Fils-Aime says "not to get complacent."
I didn't want us to simply re-house a laptop into a diamond studded casing, or diamond encrust the entire thing simply to make it expensive. We've put thought in from the keyboard down to the power charger. There is an integrated screen cleaning device and a very rare coloured diamond piece of jewellery that doubles up as the power button when placed into the laptop and also acts as security identification. We have used diamonds elsewhere but have given them purpose.
The diomonds have purpose, that's what makes it worth the $1,000,000. That and the flash, I mean if I were to by all that flash it would cost at least a few percent of what they are charging.
I don't buy the persistence of keyboard shortcuts argument at all.
On Windows I have the Windows key and it lets me do things (show desktop, minimize all windows, bring up a search window, open an explorer windows, run a command line). I use this all the time. On a MAC it is not the case. These all exist on the MAC, but only when the finder is in focus, or they are non-reserved shortcuts. An example of non-reserved shortcuts is Expose over-riding the F keys in Quark and Photoshop.
I guess it is just a preference thing, but I find the Apple way of shortcuts confusing and disorienting (why aren't my utilities popping up?)
I liked the self aware part at the end where they make a ridiculous statement about the way online petitions work (Even Steven Colbert will sign it) and then say "That's what we are all about at moveon.org".
I work at a commercial printer. Are equipment is not the newest, but pages are definetly NOT transferred, manipulated, and organized at 60 pages/minute (speed of our fastest color printer). In fact I could design a file that would take orders of magnitude longer than that.
I doubt that this is a winprinter as the grad parent seams to think it is. What the grandparent doesn't realize is that the first set of something will take much longer than 1 second/page but then it will start kicking them out.
'Ajax' is not lame. It is totally awsome, and you are missing out if you don't use it.
When you go to a map webstie and decide to drag that map to another area it's 'Ajax' and it's quite amazing if you have never seen it.
Maybe I set the bar low, but when I first when to google maps I was completly amazed by what I saw. I could find the part I wanted on the map without it taking forever as the map jumped around and redrew a few inches at a time.
Ajax, javascript, and activex have been all been a huge success already with Ajax starting to fullfill promises made to use about the web in the 90's. I strongly recomend you go to google maps and let their script run, or even log into/. and see what it is like to browse the threads now.
I have a full 1280 x 1024 desktop of icons (I delete or move them about 5 a day as I add stuff).
I sort it by modified time and can easily find stuff by searching my memmory of when I downloaded/copied/edited a file relative to another.
The changes I would make would be:
1) Rather than strictly moving old stuff, I would have it move when desktop is x% filled. 2) Have it so things can be pegged to stay (If I don't use the trash/recycle for a month I still want it. 3) Since Windows have no limit to what they can hold I would not go 1 month old then subcatagories. I want to be able to scan ALL of everything I left on my desktop at once.
I purchased Age of Empires DS with my video game allowance for the month specifically to play at home (while the TV is on to a show my wife likes but I hate or when my brain is too fried to read before I go to sleep). I buy 1 game/month and try to keep it under $30.00, that leans me towards the DS a lot too.
The DS is about 60% of my game spending, and the other 30% is probably split console/computer.
For example, we hold bars accountable if they serve alcohol to patrons who appear to already be intoxicated
I wish they wouldn't (actually they don't). I walk to the bar and have drinken plenty their and not once have I been turned down. In fact in many states the bartender is not liable for damages (for good reason).
Another example: Imagine there's a business next door to your house that is set up to allow people to exchange (or share) drugs
There are specific laws against this (crack house laws we can call them) while what youtube.com does is specifically alloud (DMCA). And if the only crime being commited was the exchange of drugs I wouldn't personally have a problem with it (it is the loan sharking, petty theft and other crimes associated that cause the trouble).
Sugar can produces 8 times the energy consumed while corn produces 1.5 times the energy consumed. Also with current petrol prices sugar based ethonal can be cost effective.
The problem is not ethonal, it is the subsidies causing it to be artificially competitive (in the US)and the laws requiring it to be put in gas requiring the subsidies to be in place (so people don't realize the cost of the "summer blend").
Geo Metro costs approx. $7.50 to go 300km (3.5 gallons @2.15)
I don't know what the efficiency is of electricity, but it is certainly in the realm of possibility that this is efficient enough to cost $3.00/200-300km (if we use 200km it is real reasonable).
I bet you don't pay any tax on compressed air either.
I could be wrong, but it seems entirly possible to me that the problem isn't compiling from source, but adding packages not in official repositories (or even un-official ones).
The DC had higher release sales, and then dropped off to a number still higher than Sony's drop. It than spiked to higher than Sony's spike (which was supply limited). I presume these are the first Christmas for each.
Of course if the PS3 keeps where it is and then has a huge Christmass it could do great, it doesn't make things look good though.
Slashdot Mirror
1) Look at GP podt (GGP to me)
2) link to directions (second link on page)
Useful maybe, but wanted?
The entrepanuer responsible said they monitor demand and offer to custom grab stuff (for next bus delivery) for a few rupees.
He said what people want is clips of recent bollywood stuff, pictures of stars, wether, and cricket results.
Really it's a lot like the internet anywhere.
I am in the same boat.

Is the source on the key?

Doesn't Apple offer that with ldap?

This is a great deal.
Looks just like a landscape.
Why did you buy the DS?
It sounds awful.
That's where 2-d shines though.

It is not that crazy.

After playing Mario Kart I found that any gentle turn in the road could be shortened by going a littkle bit straighter accross all lanes/shoulder.
This was after playing 20+hours a week for 2 weeks.
I always somehow managed to stay in my lane though.
What if package foo isn't in ports/portage?

The 360 did not have supplies the PS3 does.
The DC had higher release sales, and then dropped off to a number still higher than Sony's drop. It than spiked to higher than Sony's spike (which was supply limited). I presume these are the first Christmas for each.
Of course if the PS3 keeps where it is and then has a huge Christmass it could do great, it doesn't make things look good though.
DC vs 360
DC cs PS3
Looks bad for Sony.
my ti4800 can output 720p, and it's ages old.
You probably realize it could render better graphics at 640 x 480 though.
I had a Voodoo2 that you could emulate N64 games on at 800x600.
I am willing to be that this is upscaling and not rendering.
Isn't all the stuff with users an groups done from client computers and not the server?
