    Add a Vote Ron (Re Open Nominations) and force people to vote.

    (I'd also like to see a reform of the HoLs Basically have a number of "virtual" lords of vote based on the results of (none-compulsory) referendums, the number of the virtual lords should be based on the percentage of the population that vote).

    I only know of Tesla due to the mention in the article, and a minute or so on Wiki.

    This is quite different application of the same tech. It has a range of 5 metres, it would be installed into your home. Not used to delivery power to your home (like the Wardenclyffe Tower).

    It has a range of 5 metres. It is something you would install in your home, not deliver power to a house.

    So someone could sit outside your house, and nick your bb connection and not worry about battery life.

    I use 2K at one site, and XP at a different site, while the UI is fundamentally the same, it does have a fair few differences. But yeah, not radically different.

    I've only touched Outlook Express once and a while (years apart), and it has never seamed to change (I might have just been using the same version :shrug:) so I assumed you was talking about that.

    Outlook (full) has changed over each release, not completely, but things have moved about. Personally I think for the better.

    f you don't like it, either don't plug a Cat5 into it,

    Or play any new games that will require the functions.

    code your homebrew so that it overrides the automatic updates

    Leading the fun cat + mouse game that exists on the PSP.
    Sony releases an update, killing all the current homebrew.
    A few months later someone finds a new bug in libXYZ, all the old games/toys need to be ported over to the new loophole. Alas the one you are interested in does not get ported, so do you play UberGameX or CoolHomeBrewToy.

    Lucky the big N has been quite nice so far, and just left Homebrew alone. Hopefully they will continue this, or (better yet) go the 360 route, and release a cheep dev kit.

    (This is based on hear-say, I've never shopped in Walmart, not worked for any of them).
    As I understand it Walmart owns Asda, but does not dectate how it should operate, and Walmarts operating practises are closer to that of Tescos than Asda. Asda is relatively nice to its employees, Tesco & Walmart treat them as disposable extras.

    > video games trained the child to be a better killer

    How? Last time I used a gun, it was not "point and press X".

    Last time I used a video game, it did not increase my overall strength. Where as last time I used a gun it did (well, if I could aim ;).

    Personally I don't care if you ban guns in the USA or not. It is an internal issue you need to work out.

    I'm happily living in a country where you need to prove you need a gun in order to legally own one. But even with UK-style gun control, Cody would have had access to a gun as he lived on a ranch.

    I don't know, to get into Google takes a lot of work. A friend has gone through the process, after months of interviews (all in the US, and he in the UK, each fully payed for by Google) he was turned down.

    HTML is a very yucky format. Adding a HTML viewer would add a fair old chunk to the price. But then what problem do you have with converting documents to read on it? It is not net enabled, so you can not download pages to it.

  22. Re:About Time on Apple Goes After the Term 'Podcast' · · Score: 1
    The name is not for the file you receive it is for the way you receive it.

    so if you want to keep the fogies out, why not just use the proper fucking term for it and stop being such fucking wankers?

    This has nothing at all to do with "keeping the fogies out", but rather letting them in. It has a name that none-techs understand, but is still "cool" (note the quotes). The tech behind it (RSS feeds pointing to MP3 files) should not matter to them. But it needs a standard. And a standard needs a name everyone understands.

    blogs/website

    Personally I hate the term "blog". But it is different from a "personal web site", and there is nothing wrong will naming things that are different.
