Should point out that Sony has an office in Fort Myers, and might still have one in Boca Raton. This is discounting any Sonystyle retail shops they might have.
I have an original PS2, 1st gen, bought on Launch day. It still works great. Not that I play it very much now a days, but it makes a nice DVD player in the Bedroom.
I bought a used PSP, again 1st Gen. Still works great, no pixel problems, all buttons work, just had to replace the Battery once.
I have a PS3 80gb with PS2 emu, still works great. Not everyone has these problems.
Yes, you can play existing games and existing Blu-ray movies, but there will come a new game or Movie that won't play. Additionally, you are locked out of all Online Activities.
There is greatly reduced functionality if you are not running the latest firmware.
Whatever are you talking about? This law precisely targets the means, texting, rather than the ends, someone dying in a car accident. Why should one momentary indiscretion be any different from say changing the radio, checking your mirrors, checking a GPS, or nodding off? Let all involuntary manslaughter be punished the same. If there is an issue with texting, then let that be a less serious seperate punishment for all instances of texting behind the wheel.
Then there is a second issue of proof. Outside of a sent message one second before an accident, how do you prove someone was texting, and not say simply have a half composed message on their phone.
Oh great. You can quit, and maybe get a job somewhere else with the same type of contracts. Having the choice between eating a shit sandwich and a shit wrap, still means you are eating shit and flour.
With Verizon buying up Alltel, and thrid tier carriers such as RCC, it begins to be a hard time to switch. We are now limited to 4 nationwide carriers- AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon. Depending on where you live, you might have the option of a second tier like Metro-PCS or US Cellular, or a third tier like CellularONE. But if you don't use the big guys, expect some pretty hefty roaming fees as soon as you are not in the home market.
The Cost is zero if you consider an SMSC to be free. Besides that sunk cost and nominal cost to keep an SMSC up and running, there is no real cost for in network messages. The cost to your carrier to run an SMSC is probably about the same as the cost to your ISP for its email servers. There is a significant cost to out of network messages, as high as pennies per message to go across one of various internetwork carriers. So $5 for 200 text messages if all were to go out of network would involve a very slight profit for the carrier, if not be break even. The overages thing is just gravy for them though.
On a plane, most swords would be worthless. You are in a very confined space. You have a very restricted range of motion and your opponents have ready access to many heavy objects to throw at you, ie suitcases. One bag gets tangled with the sword and the sword is useless. A large knife would be better, but the knife wielder would be overcome.
I have a 1080i 37" LCD HDTV with a PS3. The upscaling the PS3 is so good, that good quality DVD can be better than low quality Blu-ray. Good quality Blu-ray is just fantastic.
I only own a couple Blu-ray movies, but it is nice when i get something from Netflix on Blu-ray.
Grandparent is probably referring to the bug where Vista takes extremely long to copy simple files. It has been reported all over, so it should be taken as a widely held fact. It might be fixed now, but that does not men it wasn't a problem. But then again, you were probably trolling.
What is to stop the corporation from going, "oh that's a good idea. I am not going to pay you and you cannot stop me because you lack a working implementation."
Copyright only reason to exist is to eventually culturally enrich society. Unfortunately, many people just do get that fact, or somehow feel it is wrong regardless how it is in the Constitution.
Starting with the above premise, which I humbly feel is very good paraphrase of the Constitutional passage, fair use rights follow naturally. Take a second premise where the Constitution does not list all rights we possess, and it is very arguable that fair use is a Constitutionl (albeit unwritten) right.
They make money on that extra footage, so you might as well archive it. Still their figures seem absurdly expensive. Mostly this is probably just another salvo at protecting their copyright from those dastardly pirates. "Look Congress! It is extremely expensive to maintain these movies so we need longer copyright extensions to make money."
So you are claiming that being ignorant is a defense?
My Linksys router did have section in the foldout pamphlet that id mention setting a WEP key. And then there is the warning in Windows everytime you connect to an open access point.
The information is there, and there are hints to go looking for it.
So yes, if it is open, then I expect to be able to make use of the access point.

Wrong. Second Generation would also run PS2 games. It just did some software emulation, rather then the first gen's full PS2 hardware.
While spread out, this should be relatively minor compared to a nuclear, coal, or gas fired generator.

If your life is golden, perhaps you should aim better in the can.

The only true equalizer would be a gun.

I remember working tech support and getting a call for a Harold Bawlz. "Go ahead and call me Harry, everyone else does."

Perhaps you have heard of GnomeMeeting? It is now know as Ekiga. Supports H.323 and SIP and many many codecs.
Perhaps you should realize that there is barely more tot he relationship between Sone Electronics and Sony Music as there is to Microsoft and Red Hat.

See the flaw?
I have a PS3 and a 37" LCD (1080i). DVDs vary, depending on the quality of the mastering of the DVD. Blu-ray still looks better than the best DVD.
The best DVD looks at least as good as digital broadcast TV though.

If time is relative, then the current definition of a meter is relative as well.
If you only associate positive things with your name, it can help when potential employers do a cursory check on you.
Where in the US is there a STOP sign that does not have the white line in the road and the speed limit is over 30 MPH?
