that is true - however there is a major problem with people adopting things like this. *Lazyness* seriously. the ability to make good quality voip calls has been around now for a few years - and there were businesses that started up around this; quicknet, net2phone, dialpad etc...
but the problem is that the telephone is something that has been around for eons when compared to the age of the internet. and people have a certain level of psychological loyalty to the institution of the phone company - desired or not... and its this state of mind (the phone bill is like the dial tone - its always there) which thwarts the efforts of businesses to capitalize on VOIP.
even though everyone likes to bitch about their phone bills and the prices per minute that they are paying, its going to take the mob mentality to really cause a difference here in the states.
it boils down to simplicty conquering lazyness of american consumers i.e. the phone is as simple as it can get. go buy one for ten bux - plug it into the wall. the phone company does the rest. the only thing you have to remember is your phone number. and for some, that can be hard enough.
so until we can get close to that with VOIP capable devices... it will be an uphill battle to get them fully adopted.
when you compare a shopping list of items that most of the consumer market associate with real VOIP (if they even know what it is) calls (computer (obviously not in this article... but the mindset of voip is voip==computer required) internet connection (==$50/month), *knowledge* ("but I dont know enough"), etc...) - to the phone, its a no brainer for people who want the lazy way out. even if they are paying "evil mci" etc too much.
besides - people like hating the companies they pay their bills to.
so whats really important at this point is to get people to see that VOIP is not just available, as good or cheaper - but JUST AS EASY as the phone. then we will get the ball rolling. and thats where these companies need to spend their marketing *and* development dollars.
its a very touchy subject. I agree that child molesters are bad bad people. And I usually think that they should get the mandatory death penalty - but its tough when you do realize that they were most likely molested as children themselves.
whats hard is - if you think that all molesters should just be killed - then by extension should we just kill the child that they have just molested? Wont that child grow up to be a molester? so shouldnt we just kill them?
On days I think that we should just flat out shoot the people who are convicted of molesting/killing/raping/harming children. no prison time. just guilty - walk em out back and shoot them - or throw them in a crematorium... alive.
nambla should just be illegal period. they should all be drowned as you state.... its tough.
whats really really sad is the situation that people live in - places like thailand. forced prostitution of children, and the very very seriously rampant methamphedamine addiction that has swept thailand over the last five years. There are children as young as 5 that are drug runners for the dealers there - they use small girls because they know that the police will not stop and seach small girls. then as they get older they get them hooked on their meth. its called yahewa or something... and costs about a dollar for a pill. you can eat/drink/snort or smoke the shit - and it wrecks you.
this is very serious for several reasons: rampant drug use by the young populace who become addicted - and are forced into sex slavery - and spread aids. Thailand has very high HIV infection rates. (botswana is the worst, with something like 39% of the countries population having aids)
a very very sad state we are moving into in the next 20 years. They said that 60 million people will die of aids. and with the rate that things are going... nobody is going to care - so long as they have money.
the point was I do those bets every once and a while... like I said - maybe after 4 or five rounds of winning.
I have hit the YO many times - and 1. it only costs 1$ and 2. it pays 36 to one.
the field - like I said, you put a dollor or two in the field *once in a while* and only when you are up.. if it hits a 12 you get triple.
it isnt about the odds of winning... its about enjoying the game. and it makes you feel good if you put some money in a yo or field bet randomly and hit it.
Also - I only bet with money I don mind losing.. I go to have fun - not tout my statistical superiority.
In my experience, playing a bet one in a while for the dealers and winning is very beneficial. if you never tip them and only bet then I could see how they would not like that - but if you tip AND bet for them it helps.
Ya Craps is a fun game... I have played a lot in Reno - but my first trip to Vegas will be beginning of september...
I know the game rather well - my ex-father in law was a pit boss who taught me how to play.
I play the pass line for the most part. On come out bets I throw a dollar or two dollar (depending on table rules) on Yo (11) or C&E (11 & 7) - this has very good odds if you hit it.
also about every 4th or 5th bet I will throw a few dollars in the field - with hopes of hitting a 12 (pays triple)
but yes tipping the dealers is very important. Also - dont just tip them, bet for them... if the bet wins, they get much more than you would have tipped them in the first place. throw a few on a number for the dealers....
this does two things:
they watch your betting style, and tell you when to play on certain bets.
when you get rather drunk - they watch out for where your money is, and keep track of your bets. (and no not for the house... some are really good about trying to help the better win)
looking forward to playing in vegas. But never bet with money you cant afford to lose.
the best shuffling machine out right now uses the following method (for simplicity sake - Ill explain with one deck):
there are 52 cards in a deck. the machine picks a number at random, say 42. it grabs card 42 and puts it in a slot it then slects a number at random (now out of 51) it takes that card and puts it in the slot.
you tell the machine how many decks its holding - it then selects the random number from the total range its holding....
apparently this is the "most random card shuffler available"
nope sorry - too much effort. Did you notice how big the arm and hand motions Tom Cruise was making in Minority Report? Geeks are laaaazzzyy - no way are we going to make it that difficult to scroll video files to the left - or open a new file....
I agree with you - this comment represents the type of information that should be gleened from forums such as/.
I too was addicted - but never to EQ, to UO. It almost caused my divorce (which happened later - but for other reasons).
The interesting thing is that sometimes you may think "God, wouldnt it be great to not have to work and be able to play this all the time" WRONG. I was out of work for a year and a half and just went back to work at the beginning of June. While I was not working I started to play Anarchy Online - thinking that it would be fun as I had no job and I could spend time - lots of time - playing the game. mistake. I liked the game, but man did I feel like a loser wasting the beautiful california summer days on that game. playing for 12 hours at times....
this didnt last very long, luckily I knew that it was not good for me - so I only played for about a month.
I play a lot of video games - I absolutely love them. and I know I will be playing till the day I die (hopefully far far in the future) - but I now see the importance of balancing my cyberspace thrills with meatspace reality. Now I have sert aside Tuesday nights for gameplay. My girlfriend knows this and agrees to it. It is much easier to have one night set aside for it - it causes less stress on relationships and you know what to expect. Some tuesdays a bunch of us get together and do paper D&D (which we recently started playing again - while drinking and playing and its actually more fun that I remember it as a kid) - and on alternating Tuesdays we play neverwinter nights online - same characters as the paper game for the most part....
Since I love FPS games as well (sniping games really) I also recently started doing Paintball... thats a lot of fun as well.
huh? what about the FIRST PART OF THE NAME - *GOD*
do they claim to own that? if they are going after "zilla" words, you should be able to throw it out due to the fact that we know how rediculous it would be if they claimed the same on any sites / words containing GOD in them.
doesnt matter if he is using the logo or name or not - the/. effect will prevent people from seeing any of his "infringments" and confusing DAVEzilla with a short japanese actor in a rubber suit knocking over bala-wood buildings.

"Microsoft representatives at LinuxWorld plan to talk about the company's ASP.Net Web Matrix Project, a collection of free tools and programming code that allows developers to build Web-based applications"
well herein lies the problem. the *free* tools that they are giving away is just like the crack dealer offering you "free" samples just long enough to get you hooked.
its an open ploy - regardless of the technology there is one goal here - furture profits.
no - that is not necessarily a bad thing. businesses need to make a profit. period. however what we dont like is the methods and tactics for gaining said profits. Microsoft has a history of bad business practices and monoplistic behaviour.
so - even though they are giving away these free tools - be sure that the tools have some sort of caveat upon them that likely states that they get a stake in what you develope with the tools - and if it doesnt - it just means that you will be perpetuating the MS engine far into the future by making apps that you develop with their technology.
that peaceful coexistence will last just long enough for them to stangle the last bit of cash out of every customer it can.
dont be fooled by their PR engine... its plain as day.
of course we have - but thats not the point. We have all seen many things that are similar... but in this instance we have yet to see one that is comfortable and works well for the masses and is something that can become integrated into our daily lives.
this one actually seems to fit the bill more-so than many others, in that it is something that you can have *in* your hand as you walk around and do what ever.... a very good interface to the wearable.
if you follow the link that you have in your post you see that the others are sitting on a table - the main design feature of the ones you reference is the *chording* - whereas in this design the major feature is the ergonomic usability and portablity which is based on the chording keyboard. Its focus is the application of chording - not the development or creation of.
so - I think that this particular incarnation of the chording keyboard is very practical and I am going to try to make one myself.
I do a lot of CAD work - and although I am extremely fast when it comes to typing with my left hand... there are just some things that require both hands on the qwerty - which requires that I lose time drawing by having to let go of the mouse - then grab it again... also one thing that makes CAD'ing less efficient is that flat keyboards are difficult to be very precise when hitting rapidly. Requiring the repeat of commands sometimes as many as three times (with requisite swearing - and hitting the keys harder and harder each pass until the damn machine listens to what you are trying to say)
no dave & busters in SF... but Jillians is a fun place, no video games - but there is several pool tables. you can play video games in the sony store with all the playstation 2's..
And if you want to see a bunch of beautiful women - go on salsa night... uh, dont all you/.-ers go at the same time tho... you run the risk of scaring ema ll off.
but since jillians is in the metreon (less than a block from mosconi) there is the "air tight garage" inside which is an "arcade" but doesnt have too many great games at all.... they also have the manga store where you can buy all the mech models you want.
for those from way out of town dont forget to check out the sky bar in the top of the marriot at the corner of 4th and mission - great view - but the drinks are a little pricey....
....how exactly would this info be *really* useful? I mean - yes I know that it would be able to show that John D. Rapist drove over the Golden Gate bridge at precisely 11:12pm last night with Suzy Victim in his trunk blah blah....
but thats not very much information.
the thing that makes this even less of a worry (in this specific instance) is that very very few people actually travel through tolls daily (as compared with the population of the country) and those that do make up the 95% "repeat offenders" (people who travel across the bridge every single day)
I live in the south bay - I am surrounded by toll bridges - but I very very rarely cross them. If I do its on my way to tahoe where I pay the 2 bux to continue on after crossing the Benicia bridge.
Other than that I might make a trip every other month or so across the bay bridge... but for the most part my entire travel corridor is I-280....
so aside from Big Brother is tracking your every move - which is a Bad Thing (TM) - this doesnt warrant any concern on my part - at least until they start tracking my moves through embeded chips in my drivers license.
well - I dont know exactly how the "user" would get it to form the position desired - but one interesting way would be to wear a glove on the oposing hand with sensors that would transfer the desired position to the "Mano-de-Skywalker" - so it would just mimic/mirror the position that the oposing hand is in.
I know that the "claws" that are worn by some one-armers are opened and closed with movement of the shoulder and shoulder-blades....
make something that fits into a mouth peice that would require a sequence of bite-downs. not just one cuz she probably will bite on it during sleep.
make it like the football mouthpeices with the btreathing hole in the center - so as not to suffocate.

make it have an outer guard that prevents it from going into her mouth all the way - and maybe a little elastic strap so as to prevent it from falling out during rest.
she could learn some sort of oral morris code that would allow for her to communicate much more effectively - and would probably be a much cheaper solution to develope than Hawkings rig....
what you need lots of when drinking very large amounts of water is salt.
when I was trekking through the jungles in borneo the tribe guide that we had brouhgt little packets of salt along with us on our trekks - this he gave to us when we were very hot and tired and had stopped to drink lots of water.
the reason we felt so "de-hydrated" was really that we were "se-salinated" and ate the litttle packets of salt to replenish our systems in addition to the water.
after about a week of this - we found that on long trekks we were drinking a lot less water than we were used to under normal conditions, as we were drinking the right ratio of salt to water thereby keeping our systems in balance in the hot sweat inducing climate.
i wasnt inferring that it was right next door so to speak - the point is that any land that is donated to a school - regardless of how undesirable it may sound now is quite valuable. and even though this would not be physically attached to the campus - it still is a lot of land.
yes - 600 acres sounds bigger than it is - but think of it in real world terms - not metric conversions: you live in all likelyhood in a fraction of an acre if you live in an apartment. The world trade centers twin towers had a footprint of one acre each. they were large buildings - length x width (height excluded) so if you think of 300 or 600 twoer footprints all right next to eachother... thats a lot of space.
I was just pointing out that 600 acres of land to test and RC car (robot mobility) seems excessive.
