Uh folks, I hate to break it to you but ZFS is a FILE SYSTEM not an OPERATING SYSTEM....
I am sure Apple isn't going to replace the core of their OS with Solaris. ZFS may be a better choice the HFS+ I don't know a lot about ZFS, but if it is better I will have no problem migrating my stuff over to it.
There wasn't all that much that in my eyes was new. You had 2 new vehicles and the weapons were modified a little. Halo 3 you could drive by 90% of the fights. At least in Halo you were forced to do a lot of walking, and that in turned forced you to do a lot of fighting. Halo 2 forced you to do fighting which is what the game is about. Not driving past everything. I also enjoy the find my way through mazes better than being directed by the little white pin point telling me where I need to go. There was no challenge in this game. Halo 2 took me 3 nights to finish about 15-18hrs, Halo was about 3-4 nights. Halo 3 is obviously too short for the $50 spent. I've put in more hours playing "Settlers of Catan" in the Xbox live arcade for $12.50.
I totally disagree. I really thought the story was under developed. The Flood converted Covenant ship was really the only major addition to the Halo story line in Halo 3 and I felt the introduction was weak at best. As for game play. It wasn't balanced at all. I flew through each mission, when it came to getting inside the Ark, I was able to just drive by 90% of the obstacles in front of me, there was nothing really stopping me. The hardest part of the game was the Scarabs and once you had the tanks taking out their generators was relatively easily done from a distance. The game does not live up to the hype. Sure it's pretty, but you know what, it really wasn't all that FUN.
Well it took me 7hrs to complete. It should have lasted at least 14, not as fun as I would expect it to be. The network play ok, but I don't care for the maps. I really liked the maps on Halo 2 better.
The other people put their material there. It was their choice. They could have started their own server, but chose not too. If they don't like it they can take down their material.
They are serving ads, Big woopdie butt..... Is it really so hard to ignore advertisements? I do it all day on/., cnn and other sites. If someone owns a domain, and pays for the server something sits on, don't they deserve to at least make it worth it for them to keep managing this system?
We probably did not work together. I worked for Cambridge Soundworks, they are owned by Creative Labs, so unless you worked at CSW we probably didn't work together. I left a couple years ago, and at this point they aren't doing to well.
Actually, yes you can install PCI cards in the Pro line of Mac products. Not all of them have drivers, but those that do work just fine. I bought a netgear PCI 802.11g card for my G4 Tower, and bough 3rd party drivers, and it works just fine.
This was brought on because Creative Labs president wanted to turn all the CSW stores into "Creative Labs" stores, kind of like Apple has it's store. The problem was the only thing he had to stock the shelves with were crappy second rate MP3 players. He thought that the american people would line up in long lines to have a huge selection MP3 players that were cheap. So he took 60% of the CSW products and supporting products out of inventory in the stores and threw in a bunch of crappy MP3 players.
Not too mention that the president is so Anti macintosh that you'll never see drivers for OS X by Creative, and they will never create a way to talk to their MP3 players for OS X. I know, I talked to the president of Creative when he came to the US. I had a Nomad Zen, but use a Mac, and he basically bad mouthed Apple during the entire discussion. I am pretty disgusted with them as a company and their policies.
He had this bright idea to turn Cambridge SoundWorks stores into "Creative" stores kind of like "Sony" has their stores. That failed miserabley. All but 2 of th 20 something CSW stores are now closed because of his poor judgement.
I do travel with my laptop but I also don't go anywhere that I am worried about getting it stolen. I go to Japan, and the youth hostels there either give you a private room, or if in a dorm they give you a coin locker that is visible at the front desk, so the chances of someone breaking into them are slim.
I would recommend instead of bringing a laptop for offloading pictures, get a portable media reader with hardrive. That way, when your card fills up, you turn on reader, plug in the memory card and hit copy, 3 minutes later the memory card is all copied to the hard drive. When you want to offload it go to an internet cafe, grab a blank CD/DVD and burn the images to another media type for backup. I have a 40GB drive that I do this with, and I love it.
I've been to Japan 4 times. Spending 3 months living in Aichi perfecture studying Japanese language (girls.;-)).
Part of the problem is not knowing where to look for these jobs. Also I don't want to get stuck in Okinawa, I want to be on the mainland and don't know what kinds of opportunities would be there with govt Jobs. I have no problem working for the gov, cause jobs are usually rather secure. I just don't agree with the idiots who run the gov. Japan is quite wonderful.
Japan, I love being able to take a train where ever I want to go, and think it's absolutely wonderful there. I know it has it's problems, but at least as a noncitizen I know I'd have no control over it anyway, so it wouldn't bother me so much.
The reason why I have not gone there yet is simple. There's this thing called a work visa, and I don't meet the requirements for it. It requires a 4 year degree or 10 years of work experience in the field that you are going to work in, in Japan. I have 1 year to go before I hit 10 years. I've been working on collecting documentation for that.

Samus vs. The Galaxy

· Score: 2, Informative
There was also a way to see that she was a girl in the original Metroid game. WHen you finished the game depending on how well you did Samus changed color, and if you did real well she took off her helmet and had long hair.
I'm not saying everything should be free to everyone, but you know what, it's ridiculious that copyright lasts 70year past the death of the creator. When they pass it should as well. If it worked this way, maybe the record companies and movie studios would be more likely to actually put out good music, and good movies, instead of leeching every cent they could get from Elvis's collection post death.
We can also rely on there being security holes that will allow all kinds of nasty worms and viruses into my system. So in that sense M$ is quite reliable.;-)
I was too lazy to turn it off, and only did so if it repeatedly got in my way while playing. I liked it in some games because it warned me that something was starting to happen, sometimes before I saw it on screen, like rocks falling. Which gave me the upperhand. I won't however miss it as I don't think it's all that important of a feature to have.
Sony wants the HD DVD market. By putting a Blue ray drive into the machine, it puts that many more blue ray drives in households so they can get the movie studios to want to release movies on blue ray discs. plain and simple.
I could have made this very same statement and I am not an expert. I see it all the time when I am using email and IM. Are people that stupid? Oh wait, stupid question....
I actually like Crystal Light Orange drink and lemon drink. They are fairly sweet tasting, but the sugar intake isn't so bad. They also come in neat single services that you can put in bottled water.
There's nothing technical about it. It "is" copyright infringment. I'm not saying I disagree with the fact that the Anime industry overlooks it. Whether it tracks licensed or not, it is not an example of legal torrent downloads, they are still illegal. I may be biased because I have gone to Japan and spent $200-$300 for a series that I could have downloaded for free, and that my DVD collection in toll is close to 500 discs, including the region2s from Japan and the UK.
Them not being licensed to an american distributor DOES NOT MAKE THEM LEGAL. They are still protected by international copyright law. Use some common sense.

what if they aren't a customer? I mean if they didn't buy anything from you, you have no obligation to keep records of them do you?

as an ex-employee I hope the competition eats them up and they go away.
