They have this thing right? It's a plastic and metal disc that can store music, video and other information (including the White Album). Been around since way before Napster.:)
The USA is most certainly not a free market, in the classical sense of the term. Gov't subsidies and anti-trust legislation go completely against the spirit of free market.
So does part of your post: terminate unfettered trade with China and India. A truly free market doesn't care who you trade with. All that matters is money.
What I usually do is buy my drink and candy bar at a nearby gas station BEFORE going to the theatre. $2.50 total for drink and a snack. You can't even get a small soda for that in the theatre.
And if you read The People's History of the US, you'll realize that faking out the American public about reasons to go to war, not actually declaring war, and generally doing all the things GW has been doing has been going on for a looonnnggg time.
Care to show some proof of this directly from Microsoft? I know this is true for a 'downgrade', but Microsoft isn't stupid enough to sell you a Win2k for XP, are they?
Okay, I exagerrated the part about being blitzed by 10 bad guys. Sorry about that, I think I was in a foul mood when I wrote that.:(
After some reflection, I think I'm just jaded by the lack of GREAT games. Sure, we've had lots of GOOD games recently. But what the last GREAT game that you just had to play? I remember when I was younger, (like 10 years ago, yikes!) I had the choice between X-Wing, Doom 2, Duke Nukem' and Warcraft II. Now? Hmmm.... GTA3 is fun for a while, I enjoyed Baldur's Gate II (I admit I haven't tried Planescape:Torment), but these games are both several years old. I'm over my FPS on-line shoot-out phase (I think I OD'd on Counterstrike right around version 1.1). The last GREAT game was, what? Half-Life? Final Fantasy VII? Civ III was really good, but suffered the same fate as other 4X games. You figure out the CivIII formula (intentionally or not) and it's not longer a challenge.
Bought it, played it, didn't like it. It tries to be too much like Doom2, but doesn't make it....at all.
I played Doom 1 & 2 for many hours when they came out, both solo, co-op and deathmatch. I played Doom 3 through once and had no desire to play it again.
Once you realized that when you picked up that 'too good to be true' item, you'd be blitzed by ten monsters suddenly spawning, it got old REAL quick. And yes, it does look pretty. But so did Matrix Revolutions.
Have you used it lately? I resembles Outlook now. There are already server and clients of GroupWise 6.5 available for Linux. We have GroupWise as our e-mail system here and wouldn't even think about running anything else.
What the hell is wrong with this country? We'll kill thousands of innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan to promote democracy, but then stifle it here? I'm not blaming Dems or Repubs, they're both at fault here. Time to move to Canada.
MaxStream, Inc. introduces the 9XTend OEM RF Module that provides unprecedented performance in a low cost radio modem. The 9XTend is MaxStream's longest range (up to 40 miles in RF line-of-sight), low power OEM RF module. This affordable RF module is smaller than a credit card and allows for robust performance in North America, Australia and Israel.
The 9XTend outputs 1-Watt (30 dBm) of conducted output power while consuming only 780 milliamps at 5-V. This makes the 9XTend one of the most efficient 1-Watt 900 MHz modems in the industry. The 9XTend can output 4 Watts radiated power allowed by the FCC. The RF module also provides security through data encryption. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is used with a 256-bit key, the highest encryption standard available. This makes the 9XTend ideal for secure applications including automated teller machines, point-of-sale terminals, and keyless/remote access systems. No time penalty is incurred during AES encryption or decryption.
MaxStream also offers its Interference Immunity Technology introduced in its 9XStream modems. The hardware/software solution creates wireless systems that are immune to RF interferers such as cell phones, pages, and other wireless systems.
The transceivers provide -110 dBm receiver sensitivity enabling users to receive 900 MHz transmissions up to one-half mile in urban environments, as well as 15 miles line-of-sight, and 40 miles with high-gain antennas. Data throughput of the module is 230 kbps and has a high sustainable data streaming rate 115.2 kbps.
The company offers a 9XTend Development Kit that lets users communicate wirelessly in a matter of minutes. For many modes of operation, including networking nodes, no configuration is necessary. Advanced networking features allow for easy configuration of transparent peer-to-peer, point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and multi-drop network topologies.
Range specs summary * Up to 40 mile range (RF line-of-sight, @9600 RF data rate) * Up to 3000 feet range (Indoor/Urban environments, @9600 RF data rate) * 1 Watt Power Output (1 mW -- 1 W, software selectable) * -110 dBm Receiver Sensitivity (@ 9600 baud) * -103 dBm Receiver Sensitivity (@ 115200 baud)
Advanced Networking and Security * True Peer-to-Peer (no "master" required), Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint * Retries and Acknowledgements * 10 hopping channels each with over 65,000 network addresses available * AES Encryption (Highest Encryption Standard Available)
Ease of Use * Standard AT commands and fast binary commands for changing parameters * Native RS485/422 (multi-drop bus) protocol support * Multiple low power modes including shutdown pin, cyclic sleep and serial port sleep for current consumption as low as 1 A * Host interface baud rates from 1200 to 230400 bps * Signal strength register for link quality monitoring and debugging * MaxStream XII Interference Immunity * FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) * 2.8 to 5.5 V power supply
9XTend Modules are available with a standard MMCX or RPSMA connectors (required by the FCC for customers using SMA-type connectors).

True. But you have to start somewhere. I'm voting third-party this year, just like I have the last two elections. The democrats and republicans are two sides of the same coin. There is no difference between either party (with a few exceptions, Russ Feingold and John McCain come to mind, but McCain's been on the slippery slope lately). I'm not voting for Kerry just to get Bush out of office. I'm not going to vote based on the fear of another four years of dubya.
Something that I wish would be incorporated in American animation is a wish that more of American animation said something about us.
American animation says a lot about us. Every animated movie released in the US has fast-food tie-ins, video games tie-ins, actions figures, etc. You couldn't go anywhere with out seeing Shrek 2 merchandise this past summer.

Here you go. It even runs on Linux!
Are you kidding? That money will directly towards funding some piece of military equipment that we don't need.
Analogy's are no replacement for original ideas.

Thank goodness some college skills translate well into the real world.

Can you believe it's been 18 months since this started? SCO hasn't shown us one unrefutable piece of evidence in 18 months...
You didn't answer the question. Sounds like you copied and pasted a marketing brochure.
And we all how well that works!!!!
big N is going to slash homebrew(copying) scene once and for all with the ds
I haven't heard this before. How are they going to do it?
No, you're thinking clusterfuck.
state-enforced monopoly sounds a lot like this to me.
