...but eOne doesn't look much like an iMac at all. It's way more boxy, different lines. I can't see myself confusing them.
But you're a slashdot reader, and know better. As an example, a few weeks ago, there was a big insert in the paper with this eMachines system on it. The price was $400 (w/ internet access), and the first thing my roomate (who is just your average joe) says is, "Whoa, and iMac for $400! I may have to go get one of those". Of course, I straightened him out on the spot, but it just goes to show that the average person IS confused. Had I not said something, I almost guarentee he'd be down at Best Buy looking at it.
I'm forgetting my physics, but is that free fall speed? If you dropped 300 feet, would you reach 92 mph? I ask because the best rollercoasters are the ones that just let you drop and don't force you down at a faster rate. Freefall always gives you that "stomach in your throught" feeling, whereas being rocketed down and incline simply feels like going really fast. I have to admit though, those are impressive numbers.
imagine taking a neon orange PalmPilot out of your suit coat pocket on an interview
How is this any different than when I take out my neon orange Nokia cell phone to take a call? People have some pretty crazy cell phones now days, I don't see why a PDA can't be the same.
My best friend just graduated from DigiPen in Vancouver a few months ago. His was the last class from the Vancouver campus, and now the school has moved to Seattle. They're taking more students (it was only 60, now it's way more) and it's a 4 year school instead of the 2 year school it used to be. It is very hard to get into, and the classes take up just about all of your time. Classes are 6 days a week (I believe) and it's pretty typical to be doing work for 12 hours every day of the week (that is if you want to do well at all). From what my friend says, the school taught him a lot, but some of the teachers were downright pathetic, and the head of the whole thing is a real dick, only in it for the money, not the education. Regardless, he got a pretty swank job at Black Ops in Santa Monica, so I suppose he did learn something.;)
Nintendo would be stupid to not add DVD player support. While Sony may feel that adding this support to PSX2 would take away from their other DVD player sales, Nintendo has no such worry. Nintendo needs something big to get back in the race (Sony has quite the advantage right now) and "one-upping" them with the DVD player thing could be a good way to kick Sony in the ass.
My guess is that these commercials aren't for the die hard Star Wars fan, but rather, for the every day American. The Qui-Gon one is probably most suited to Sci-Fi fans. The Anikin one was suited to the kids, and the Shmi one to all the soccer-moms. I can see the Shmi one being played durring Oprah. I'd bet they're trying to reach the biggest audience, and I'd bet the shows that you'd see these commecials with would reflect that.
Banning guns would not have stopped this from happening. The fact is, just because it would be illegal, doesn't mean they couldn't get guns. Pot is illegal to posses, and look how easy it is to get that. If someone wants to kill, they will find a gun, especially people as screwed up as these two kids were. I honestly think that prevention starts at home. I read a good quote in a newspaper recently. It said "Kids who love and who are loved do not murder". Love is taught, but so is hate. I'd be willing to bet that if the parents of these two were involved in their life in a loving way from day one, none of this would have happened.
Are you crazy?!? This is the movie that I've been waiting for to be released on DVD so that I could finally go out and buy a player. I can't wait. "We got the tools, we got the talent! It's Miller Time!"
Still, I can't see it being software emulation. That would mean that you'd have to have a separate CD with an emulator on it to load into the PSX 2 and then put your original PSX1 disc in and play. And of course this isn't how it works. You just pop in your old PS disc and it works like the PS 1 does. Thus, unless there is some disk drive in the PS2 with the emulation software on it (which there isn't), all of the calcs must be done in the hardware on the new system.
Did you read the specs? This thing is one super special piece of hardware! It emulates the original playstation in software and even adds perspective corrected textures and antialiasing to old games
Did you read the specs? First of all it does not emulate the original PSX in software. It has a separate I/O controller on board to do it in hardware. Also, the old PSX 1 games will not be enhanced in any way. They'll play like they do now on the new system. They're shooting for 100% compatability, not 110% or 95%.
How much do you reckon they paid some fancy-schmancy consultancy to come out with that inspired move?
Well, since the company I work for did the same thing recently I'd say a lot. Which is too bad, the old logo was one of my favorites. Of all the stuff I have on my wall here at work, only two things are logo's. One is Apple's, the other is SGI's good old cube. Sad times these are.
What I think is funny is that Jason at 0sil8, who did the "Simply Porn" ads, took them down because of his cease and desist order from 3Com and then linked to every site that has a mirror of his work. Wonder what 3Com's take on that is? Fight the man is right.
For myself, college wasn't about that piece of paper I got after 4 years, it wasn't about the hours upon hours I spent in the lab working on my Assembly finals, and it certainly wasn't about staying awake in my 8am Differential Equations class. It was about people.
The activities, the organizations, and just the overal opportunity that exists at a college is amazing. It's about living with people who are all there for similar reasons, yet are all very different. It's about taking an idea and doing something with it, be it starting a new social organization, working with a prof on some hot new research, or just learning something on your own because you're interested in it. But all along the way you meet people, and you learn how to interact with people who live grew up 10 miles away, or 10,000 miles away. This in itself is just as challenging as any class one can take. And in many ways it can be much more rewarding.
Erroneous data will be ignored. If a match is found, the chunk of data sent to that machine will be tested by SETI itself to make sure there are no false reports. So while it may be possible to send back faulty data, with all the double checking that will go on, actually fooling them is basically impossible.
It is 25%, however, a vast majority of that is date rape. Any situation where a woman doesn't consent is considered rape. It doesn't have to be violent, there doesn't even have to be a struggle or arguement. violent rape percentage is much much lower.
As for the US being all crime ridden, sure there's crime, but if a person has any common sense at all they can avoid it. A good start is to not live in the ghetto. A majority of violent crimes occur in these places. Regardless of where you are though, trouble will find you if you look for it.
That's good! I don't want a dog, but I'd like something running around that I could play with from time to time. Real animal pets cost a lot, and take a lot of time to take care of, and can be a real hastle. I think this robot pet thing is really cool. If it can mimic how a real animal behaves, even somewhat, I want one.
Yeah, Right! Pull the Other One!

or worse yet, renting out an entire theater, and then selling all the "tickets" at $20 a pop to people who want to be assured of seeing it on opening night, and running away with huge ass profits. That's definitly not good, and is a good reason for Lucas to not allow this.

Why doesn't anyone make a case for PC's out of LegoS? I've seen the MAc ones before...
Have you ever tried to make a PC case out of lego's? To make something that's actually cool, it takes a LONG time. Pepare to waste an entire weekend.

IMVHO The Matrix had the most *amazing* fight scenes that I have *ever* seen. I guess you could say it was K-Rad (grin)
Then you need to see Drunken Master II!!

>Upgradablility is a luxury no average user needs. I know my mom will *never* open up her computer case
This is why your mom should buy an iMac and not a B&W G3. I mean, this *is* a reason Apple made these two beasts different in the first place.
A wise man once told me:
If you try something the answer may be no, but if you don't try, the answer is no. Those two words make a world of difference.
