Frankly even the best anti-spam idea, possibly the one the world impliments in a few years will have several hits on this list. I don't think its possible to make the perfect spam solution that doesn't require some work.
Either way has anyone noticed that this list seems to have changed over the years. I swear it has, I'll have to go find some achieves of old versions.
I didn't mean to imply the Bluetooth specifically was making it slow. Simply that they are using a universal protocol like Bluetooth means there will be a lag in due to processing time. This is true of all network communications of any type. If they used a wireless communication that was only for controllers and nothing else there still would be some lag, but not as much.
Though obviously its good to list your previous employer as a Reference if you feel you would get a good one. I wonder if employers consider it a negative not listing previous employers as references? Probably.
There is a difference between Reference and Previous Employment. Essentially when they call your previous Employer all they can ask is "Did they work here?" When they call your references they can get good or bad information.
1. You don't have to have to keep the old system around to play your old games. 2. New buyers (people who did not own the original XBOX) will be able to buy old XBOX 1 games at the bargin bin. Though there will need to be some list of games that are and are not compatible, maybe get retailers to put stickers on old games saying XBOX 2 compatible. 3. Games rentals, all those wonderful quirky games that are on the rental shelves for XBOX 1 can be kept around longer.
All in all it gives old games a longer shelf life. Not many people buy games for old consoles, but plenty of people are still buying PS 1 games even today.

So far all the wireless controllers are third party addons as well. I'm sure sony tested these things much more intensivly than any third party seller has. Simply due to the bluetooth protocol though, you are right there will be a lag, the only question is how much of a lag 10MS would be an accetable amount anymore than 30 would become noticable. I'm willing to bet they worked hard on this problem though. And as well any games that come out FOR the PS3 will be designed around the lag so it won't be a problem.
Nn, most people didn't upgrade all their VHS tapes to DVD, though some did. The point is that once the PS3 is out in many homes movie makers can comfortably release movies in HD using Blue-Ray technology (many of which may be double sided with regular DVD on the other side, or the HD-DVD format) Either way once movies in Blue ray are common place, people will start to buy standalone blue-ray players. You will also see blue-ray burners *Yummmmmmmyyy*
There was one FPS game I saw a while back where in Co-op mode the players could stand on eachother shoulders to throw eachother to accomplish certain things. I think its was also a Tom Clancy game.. shurgs.
This would all make sense if RedHat could be purchased at a reasonable price. But right now RedHat is worth around 2 billion (they reported worth in their annual report of just over 1 billion based on at that time stock value or 7.25, stock is now 12.55, of course MS just needs to purchase a majority share.. And I'm not going to dig through their annual report that deeply.
Anyways most of what is RedHat is a free open-source program. So what would Microsoft be buying. 1. A building. 2. Its Employees (many of which would jump ship) 3. Some private code 4. The name (would would immediently be destroyed in many peoples eyes when Microsoft buys it)
This would effectivly be the worlds largest waste of money. While it may have some small long term goal of shutting down their compitition. Microsoft share holders would NEVER go for a billion+ dollar aquasition that would have almost nothing tangable about it.
I was going to quote the monty python holy grail skit with the woman blabbing about her government explaining why there is no lord in the castle where they live. But my female companion is telling me to get off the computer.
Techinally facism is any government resembling Mussolinis. His government system generally (to quote wikipedia) * exalts nation and sometimes race above the individual * uses violence and modern techniques of propaganda and censorship to forcibly suppress political opposition * engages in severe economic and social regimentation * engages in corporatism * implements totalitarianism
Latly though the term has some to simply mean corporatism. Though this may be a stretch as we might have a good bit of corporatism we are far from a totalitarianism. (Though I'm sure many would claim one will lead to the other, this is not nessesary true).
Also technically Corporatism isn't simply rule by buisness corporations, it is rule by unelected groups. Labor Unions are one example, as well as ACLU and other groups that lobby for changed in government. None of these are nessessary bad. But there is obviously a tipping point where groups gain a significant amount of traction and elected officially are allowing them to make their decisions.
Yes, but if its small enough it can recharge your conventional battery as its is always producing energy at a constant rate and can no be turned off, you wouldn't want to run the laptop straight off it anyways.
Exactly, I'm sure illigal immigrant workers of today are probably cheaper than slaves. With slaves you have to buy them, then you want to keep your investment so you try to feed and clothe them enough so they are healthy. Hell not to sound racist but it seems as if most mexican workers seem to be able to stretch a dollar and stay alive a lot farther that I would know how to do if I was responsible for taking care of one.
Its all about throttle position, RPMs are fairly meaningless in a fuel injection. Just shoot for whatever gear you have to press the throttle the least.
Can you offer some suggestions. I drive an automatic malibu. Its rated for 35 MPG for highway, but on the interstate going about 75MPH I only get about 27 MPG. Pretty constant speed (often use the cruise control) but there are plenty of hills. Any thoughts from obviously a pro gas milage saver.
The UK version of the prius has an electric only switch. Wonder what would happen if you floored it (using the max of the gas/electric) then switched off the engine and coasted on electric only. Could see some good numbers doing it this way
Whats more hybrids probably get better gas milage when aggressivly driving because its using a higher electric/gas ratio when flooring it. And less is waisted in friction when regenative braking quickly than slowly. Of course the battery technology may not be able to absorb quick braking energy as well. Real world testing would be interesting.
Most Elementary schools don't have computers in every classroom, nor do you use computers to help you in your assignment. Generally there is a computer lab that every student visits once a week for maybe an hour. During this hour they learn some basics about computers and possibly have a little but of fun. It definatly does not replace traditional learning. They are there mainly to get kids interested in technology for the future. I know LOGOWRITER got me interested in programming at a young age, though I doupt they do anything nearly as cool.
Exactly, and while we are at it, how dare the state expect that women to feed and clothe that child once they are born. How dare we expect any one to bear the responsibilities that come with our actions. Especially when we can simply murder our children and then not have to worry about them.
Well believe it or not slavery was only one of the rights that the south was fighting for. In the early days of the US each state acted in many ways as its own country. As time progressed the northern states consolidated many of their powers while the southern states and many western states maintained independance. Most of the disagrement was in taxes and tarrifs a few concerned individual rights. Either way the southern states felt they shouldn't be forced to do anything whatsoever and would most likly have already started giving up slaves if it hadn't become a symbol of southern independance. Either way I've always been mixed in my feelings for the Civil war, just as I would be in the uprising that would occur if abortion were outlawed. I might disagree with you but I'd fight for your right to disagree.
Its actually 6Mb. They are trying to sell this as a replacement for buisness T1 thats why the prices are so high. Though I seriously doupt they can provide the reliability and the uplink speeds of a T1. Not to mention the fact that a 6Mb T1 really doesn't cost 6 grand anymore like they are trying to imply. Maybe it does in Seattle? Now if they can provide all my workers access to the internet (obivously their bandwidth would be set to max out as an aggregate to the 6Mb between all connections) from whereever they are in the city, $500 is a steal. Otherwise, no thanks.
Not nessesarly, Intels Xeon chips are still more expensive. Really in all cases but this one the opposite is true. It is funny though how history has switch the twos position. Luckly prices are now based upon supply/demand and not the monopoly pricing that intel had at one time.
Highly agreed, its amazing the crap 13 year olds will buy. And people try argue that they should have adult rights in some states. HAHAHA they shouldn't have the right to buy anything without parent permission for fear that they might encourage the next Britney Spears:)

Sorry your right, I was thinking private sector. Governments the world around waste this kind of money regularly.
There was one FPS game I saw a while back where in Co-op mode the players could stand on eachother shoulders to throw eachother to accomplish certain things. I think its was also a Tom Clancy game.. shurgs.

Just my word, I should have just said I was 13, but I said I would be 13 in a day thinking it didn't matter.
