i find it an odd statement that you cannot use mobile phone tools on a CDMA razr. Mobile phone tools is not intended to work with CDMA phones, but actually with GSM phones, as per motorola's web site.
While the thought of RFID may be seen as a bad thing, i would like to know if there are any studies linking these RFID chips, which emit a signal, have any link to cancer. Cell phones have been shown to produce cancer, due to frequent use, i wonder if the same would hold true. Maybe it isn't fully a privacy issue:)
but it makes you wonder, if they continue on with voltron, when will they start doing live action versions of all the great anime series?:)

Perhaps a lot of these advertisers should stop selling crap. I fail to see how it is different from the MPAA/RIAA who enjoy turning out their crap works, and expect everyone to like them. Then again, that's like having commercials for tampons in the middle of a car show. There are lots of big executives who would rather shove overpriced crap down our throats, than provide a quality product in the first place. Is that any different than Commercials, or the ??AA ?
how is this different than the automotive market, where manufacturers routinely send wringer cars to magizenes to test. I think Car & Driver actually did a teardown on one, that had a Formula 1 quality engine:) I guess computer manufacturers are tryin the same thin
I see a lot of talk for VB & C# lately, however, i still find that delphi has a much easier method for coding. It's based on pascal, which is a fairly high level language, like VB, but Delphi has what i consider a more simplified version of objectification. It also allows users to do things at a very high level, like vb, but also is relitivly easy to break directly into the windows api to call events. maybe i am wrong, but generally, all i ever hear about are the microsoft compilers, not any of the other ones such as delphi.
i seem to always hear people going on about the "Free Kevin" epic, as it was big in 2600, and other online referances, however, there were a lot of other people given the same injustice. No one had a "Free Zyklon" (if you know who that is), or thounght to say much of anyone else.
i don't see what the big deal is, within a couple weeks someone will probablly be selling a screen protector for the ipod nano. or, if you really want to, adapt one from a PDA to the screen. they are cheap, and can end up saving a digitizer, so i would hope they work on a ipod too:P
the idea that someone can sue for "potential" losses is absurd. it rates about the same as suing a lottery or casio, because you loose. Really, this is no more different than cases such as Kevin Meznick, where "potential" losses where dreamed up, and powerful people, used their power for the wrong reasons, and to make an example of someone, for something they really didn't know what he did. We look at the state of our countries today (Both canada and the USA), where we seem to think that someone else is responable for everything, and the first words out of people's mouths at accidents is usually "what's your information, i'm suing you", or soemthing similiar. People rarely ever see their own actions being at fault, or don't believe they have to be wrong, but everyone else is wrong. This may be one of the best examples of the decline of family values, where the common family is a single parent, and marrige is on the decline. Maybe i seem old fashoned, but don't you think it's time people should grow up, and learn to live with problems? -TM
I put up with a similar problem, however there was no reason (that i could find) that the person had to dump on me. The guy just picked a person at random and dumped on them. I wasn't the first, and i wasn't the last. I also want the only person to complain about it. Just remember, you can always go somewhere else & work for more monney or for their biggest compeditor out of spite.
In my oppinion, Titan A.E. was an excelent movie, however, the market to which it was aimed towards, made it compleatly mis-understood. This movie was full of satire, and complex ironys, that stupid adults (bible thumpers), and most younger children would not pick up on, and/or appreciate. Titan AE was actually, IMHO, a masterpiece. It was an excelent blending of CGI with 2D traditional animation. The problem was, was the viewing audiance. This was not ment for children, and in a society that believes all 'cartoons' are for children. Sure, cartoons are simple storylines, with no satire, ironys, or other hidden meanings. This was animation, which is compleately the oppisite. If we look at anime, we see these things principles, are a normal part of the storyline. They are not ment for children, because they simply won't understand them. Hell, if people knew what they were watching, in it's orgiginal context, they would think twice. (Look at the Hentai series "Sailor Moon", you think if parents knew that 2 were dykes, and the rest were bisexual, that they would let their parents watch it? ). In north america, we have a serious problem with intrepreting content. Wether it be animation, a moview where people have acted out parts, or a story. They can all hold the same amount of meaning. All our society ever sees is the surface of things, and doesn't look beyond. This shows the close mindedness of north american society. Thanks for reading this. -TubaMan / ThE_DoOmSmItH
i don't notice any lack of leasure time, i still go out, and doing other things, but i also spend my fair share of time playing computer games & chatting on irc. However, for some people who are too stupid to know better, it wouldn't supprise me. The main problem with this is people who don't know how to regulate their use of time with technology, and try to be 'cool' by having their cell phone on in a movie theatre, and getting people to call them. Personally, i find this annoying more than anything. Yes, i have a laptop, and a cell phone, but i don't go around getting people to call me all the time... People need to wise up about this crap, and learn to use it more effectively. -TubaMan

you forgot everyone's favourite command... "GOTO" ... that would be a interesting statistic to see, if people actually still use goto :)
