Walmart is descently priced. Home Depot tends to have OK prices too. I usually go to Princess Auto, which is our local surplus reseller, they can have amazing deals, but you never know what you will find. Also, we recently found brand name cat5 cables at the Dollar Store
I agree with you. I want HD movies, but am not going to buy anything till a format is chosen. I am not buying DVD's right now, because I don't want to buy them then replace them with HD versions once we have a winner. Of course, the MPAA probably thinks sales are down because people are pirating everything
I hate when people write IMO at the end of their comments. Shouldn't it be obvious that it's in their opinion? I wouldn't take any reviewer to give an absolute score on anything
No, actually you missed my point entirely. Of course there is money to be made. You might as well take what you can get. I very much doubt that's why he does it, but you never really know What I meant is, from his philosophies, we can't apply that to our lives to make a buck...Being good for the sake of being good, not to be rewarded...that's a foreign concept to some people
Yes I have read some of his work. Most of what I read was meandering and when subjected to serious scrutiny, ultimatelly meaningless. It has, in my opinion almost no application to the real world other then to increase the fame and wealth of its creater and publishers.
Ya...saying things like: Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible. What crap! I mean, how can I make money off that? What an idiot.
The beauty of what he says is in it's simplicity...just because something is simple, doesn't make it meaningless
It does seem pretty apparent from your other posts that you decided you don't like religion..so I am guessing it doesn't matter what he says or does, you won't like it either way
But there is a difference. When you download an mp3, the quality is pretty comparable to the CD The shelby cobra replicas can be just as good as the original, but without the history. A camcorder copy of a movie just looks bad, and has bad sound...now a dvd rip...that's a whole other story
What does the proximity of the laptops to the servers matter? Putting the laptops on a separate network makes sense, but I don't see how it matters if they are in the server room or not.
I am not sure why the medium should matter. Why do people participate in discussions on slashdot? They too are just a certain arrangement of 1's and 0's that are interpreted a certain way through computers and networks. But sometimes those arrangements can actually make you think about something, or learn something. I am not saying not to use all sorts of different mediums in your daily live, but maybe it's more convenient to just email your friends, or post a meeting online to say you want to meet up after work. Isn't that one of the points of all this technology? That being said, I did cancel my facebook account, because I was sick of people who just were trying to have the biggest friends lists. If we haven't talked since elementary school, I probably am good with not talking to you again.
If the power goes out, I can wait till it comes back on. I guess I am lucky that I have never been in a situation where finding a book had to be done. Do you have your slide rules and log tables handy? If not, they will be no more useful then a calculator without batteries. You call them gizmo's, I call them tools. You just have to make the most out of what you are given. Why bother learning some historic tool that you will never use. You have to look at how much time/energy it will take to learn vs the benefit of knowing how to use the tool
Two wrongs don't make a right. There are all sorts of atrocities going on in the world. We can only control our little portion (whether that be our own lives, or our country) and hope the others follow our example. Your argument would be circular...the Asians would just say they shouldn't have to stop, because the Inuit do it...
I have seen this one. It's actually a lot easier to use then the more traditional version. Microsoft Research made the one based on cats. You can find it here: http://research.microsoft.com/asirra/ The hot or not version is just cooler.
You can't on the one hand promote games like Halo 3 and Gears of War as your premiere games (and whoever actually publishes them, MS has gone out of their way to promote the system using them) and then on the other hand try to market your system as a "family system". It's one or the other.
Why must it be one or the other? You can even have two separate advertising campaigns. If I were a parent, I would like not having to buy two pieces of hardware, to do essentially the same thing. I am not saying I would want the kids to play my games (or for me to play theirs) but I wouldn't want to have to duplicate hardware.
I loved the DC Controller...mainly since it had real analog control (great for driving games). PS2's dual shock were supposed to have analog, but it was so hard to use, that it really didn't matter. I also would have added the intellivision controller to the list, just for coolness
Good point. Why stop at a 40 day suspension? Why not just crucify him in front of the school...that would go farther to stop people from doing it in the future
Drive the car, rather then reading the numbers...it will suprise you. With a TDI, you don't have to rev it up to have lots of power, unlike a typical 4 cylinder. It moves pretty quick under normal driving, due to the torque. If you try and race it, the performance won't be so hot...you have to shift too early, and too often for a 0-60 or quarter mile. But if you drive like most people, you will probably be pretty happy with the performance. The only car I have driven with close to the same mileage is the corolla. Under *hard* acceleration, they would be pretty even...but under normal driving the TDI feels so much better.
They have a tonne of electrical gremlins (trust me, I have one and still love it in spite of that) They also don't take into account how it actually drives...I can't see anyone not loving the low end torque (for a car with such good mileage)
Although I know I should ignore AC's... We have actually advanced beyond natural selection. We have the power to make ourselves overcome obstacles that would take natural selection eons to do. It's one of the nice things about being able to reason...but you wouldn't understand anything about that

Just to clear something up: Rogers is Bell's competition, not one of their consumers.
That is basic web browsing if you aren't using pop-up blocking, and going to the wrong sites

That's what I was thinking. Sounds a lot like what http://www.librarything.com/ already does. Of course, they already have a big head start

All EA sports games shouldn't count as new games either. They are just rehashes of last years game, with updated rosters
Ya..the TDI is a really flat curve. It peaks around 1700 RPM. Redline is 4500 RPM.c ard_techdata_0_4.jpg
This is the same engine as in the VW:
