    But it's not made by MONSTER! They're the best! They have to be, because they're so expensive and glossy, right? There's no way they could charge that much and get away with it if thier product wasn't superior to everything else, right?

    *ALL* this is is Start -> Search -> For Files or Folders... -> Music + Video, as well as something to look for the signature of installed P2P applications. It simply searches based on file extension. Even radnomly named mp3s are listed.

    Move along, nothing to see here...

  4. One thing I always kept in mind... on Geeks in Management? · · Score: 2, Informative


    A good manager works for his team -- he provides the resources that they need (within reason), acts like a shit umbrella, to protect them from upper management, and lets them know the things going on in the company that they need to know.

    Dammit, even though I was of age during the Alicia Silverstone era, I still glanced at that and thought "Damn, pictures of a new Silverstone HTPC case? Where!?!?"

    Umm, yeah it did. Before the OpenSSH hole, it was at zero.

    (Speaking as someone who was rooted while trying to install the patches to that version...)

    The GBA SP and DS batteries are replaceable (and they're both the same kind, so you can cannabalize your SP for a spare DS battery if you so desire).

    If your ISP provides a news server which gives a consistent 200K/s ?

    Or if you pay to access a newsserver (Giganews, Easynews) that can saturate your downstream connection?

    Well, the PS2 Eyetoy has show that it's possible for a small camera to track your head movements.

    So what could happen in the future is that the camera could be used to track whether or not you're actually watching the commercials or not, and charge you more for each commercial that you get up and take a piss during.

    If you don't want to use the camera at all, that's fine, but you'll spend more on your service compared to someone who watches all commercials.

    Just thinking out loud here. I'm sure someone will come up with this, and decide to offer it :)

  21. Re:fp on Music Downloading not Entirely to Blame · · Score: 1


    The courts had nothing to do with it. The modification to the copyright act that allows us to download music was a legaslative act, not a judicial one.

    This was done with the understanding (on the part of CRIA and company) that the tarrifs on blank media would be subsequently enacted.

    Prophecy.

    What else is the wireless networking for? You sit and play in the food court, and then start seeing ads for Manchu Wok and Second Cup show up in the game.

    If I was the right kind of person, that idea would give me a wet dream.

    At the last place I worked, we retired a particular version of the application. We printed out the code onto paper, and all gathered around the project manager's barbeque and burnt the code, praying that we never, ever had to touch it again.

  25. Re:The game on Does Redskins Loss Presage A Kerry Win? · · Score: 1


    Yeah, basically. Our national elections are based on voting for the people that sit in parliment. I vote for my local MP, and the head of party with the most MPs elected becomes the Prime Minister.

    In the recent election, the Liberals got 2 seats short of a majority (having more 50%), and are now a minority goverenment (they have the most seats, but not 50%).

    Personally, I like miniority goverenments -- less crap gets done in parliment, which is generally good for the country.
