So what you're saying is I should avoid buying anything that you buy, in fear that it might go down in flames due to it having an "interesting architecture"?:)
I built a Sagetv box recently, and let me tell you - even if you only "tape" a few shows a week, a PVR is a godsend.
I can pause live tv now. I can look for shows by name, not just by index markers (that incidentally take 30 seconds or so to cue on tape - if you're lucky...) I can record more than one show at a time, since I have 2 tuners (family guy and criminal intent are on at the same time).
I stuck with a VCR for quite some time, but now, I can watch what I want, when I want. I can even burn the shows to DVD, or play them in another room on another PC. It does indeed change how you watch TV, even if you don't watch it more than once a week.
WHY IS IT THAT A 1940's ERA war plane can KICK my Cessna's Butt????????? THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE PROGRESS.
Just like I would not need the equivalent of a Hummer to drive back and forth to work, that's probably why. But I'm also betting that if you had enough money to spend, you could purchase a plane that handles better than a 1940's era war plane. Just like if I had a million dollars, I could consider buying a Hummer. Not that I would, even having a million dollars....

I remember when I was in high school, we were required by most math classes to "show work", so that we weren't cheating or using calculators to excess.
My problem? I used my brain as my scratchpad - so until I got used to writing things down (and taking 2-3x longer to complete a given problem) I got worse grades than my fellow classmates.
It's not about how well you can do something in high school; it's about how well you can appease the teacher in showing that you're doing things the way they want them done. On a side note, this worked very well in "English" classes - I learned to be very creative on papers and never get anything below an A.
If I recall, though, you only have 4 or 5 different "voices" (modifiable wave types) to produce sounds within the NES. Panning seperate sounds may not be too bad, but you'd want to make sure you had a seperate map for different games; I don't know if a one-size-fits-all approach would work here.
As well, many games utilized the same voice channel for music as well as sound effects - hence, you get a cut-out on a music channel (usually a harmony) when certain SFX are played... this would mess with a channel-map-to-a-channel technique...
Why are the most popular VOIP companies using g.711? I figure they'd be with the times, using g.729 or something similar (we use g.729 for our trunk lines at work to various sites across the country....)
In all, as long as it's hard to tell you're on a lower-bitrate codec, I'm all for it! Gives me back more of my paltry 384kb/sec cable modem upstream bandwidth....
Your company also had to obtain an FCC license to install and use such a transmitter.
In addition, you need to renew your license. Just because AT&T says you have permission, doesn't mean you can just use that band. The FCC will be knocking on your door; especially in the event you cause problems in said band.
Went back to my hometown this weekend, and took a walk at 1am for about a mile or so one way on a dirt road with 2 of my friends. We all turned 30 this year.
When we were all growing up, we'd walk all over the place, if we needed to get somewhere. Of course, I did eventually get my license, but I still rode my bike and walked, if need be. I can't imagine kids today having curfews and being thought of as criminal if they're out past 10pm or so...
Of course, I didn't do much screwing around if I was out and about. Maybe other kids are different.

I don't think the poster would get into trouble primarily about the drug pricing.
It's the comment about "white, powdery goodness" that may cause issues.
So what you're saying is I should avoid buying anything that you buy, in fear that it might go down in flames due to it having an "interesting architecture"? :)
A swing and a miss......
And a big fuck you to you, kind sir.
....
wow.
That's the most screwed up thing I think I've ever read. And yes, I know you were attempting to be funny.

That made me laugh.
Thanks for that!

Holy hell, and just numbers to boot!

The parent you replied to is obviously not working hard enough. They're posting on Slashdot, after all!
(back to work with me, speaking of which....)
You have a good point.

I know.
:)
I got the point; I just like looking at things in different lights.
But someone slamming a door in your face if you don't have insurance would make your wallet scream. Indirectly affecting your wallet.
I know, it's a stretch.
There's a picture of my (dead) grand dad on the fridge at my mom's house.
Who in the hell would pose their dead loved ones on a fridge so that they could take a snapshot?
Sicko.
If the person whipping out a nipple is a "he", it's not going to cause any troubles.
But put up a woman's nipple and you'll cause a backlash.
Sometimes I think my country is strange.

You just confused me.
Have a nice day.
because you don't want your friends to know you had Zotob
Are you trying to say that if I've caught this virus, it makes me look like I slept with a fat chick?
Amen.

Now that's some hot shit.
Every time I see that, it reminds me of Orgasmo.
"I don't wanna sound queer or nothin'; but unicorns totally kick ass!"
Hey!
Either you were joking, or you actually got a Slashdot editor to change the blurb!
GJ!
That's funny...

Take a closer look at the pong "image" tatooed into his leg... and you'll see.. 2 numbers....
such as economics, because the prof will not shut up about the one time when he did something.
Just wait until you are employed and have a big meeting to attend. You will definitely roll your eyes then.
