I know there are flash-disks, and flashing utilities, for GB and GBA. A friend of mine had about 50 games for the GBA before he even got his GBA. It is sweeeet. I think you can put something like 15 games on the GB card, and 3 or 4 on the GBA card.
He got these from someone who imports them from Hong Kong. ROMs via the net.
Now if they could get something besides US radio stations playing US songs, it might be cool. I live in the Chicago area, and all the stations play the same crap.
Alternative (right): whine whine whine, teeny-bop pop.
Hip Hop : crooooayayanouuuuoo-ning garbage or the same beat with lyrics about 'tha street'.
Classic Rock : good songs that I have heard 1 million times. Hey, even Zeppelin gets old.
Light Rock : What the hell is this!?
Obviously, we aren't intelligent enough to listen to our own music in this country. We have to listen to what they cram down our throats. Maybe it is that way in other countries too, but at least it would be new (to us) music if we could listen to it.
In looking at their web server history, while on Linux, their IP and Netblock Owner was consistent. When they switched to IIS and Win2K, those changed. Part of the reason for the change?
Disclaimer: I have no idea what I am talking about.
It must be real easy to let go of a project when you have the cash to finance parallel development teams! When you have one team, one project, it is REAL hard to let it go and switch gears. When your monopoly affords you the luxury to just throw money at the problem, life is good.
That isn't creative and innovative, that is wasteful. I would hate to see how much money and resources M$ wastes on failed projects that we never hear about.
I got an email (as did everyone else) from someone in the company who gave detailed instructions on how to use the "Rule Wizard" (first clue) to delete these emails permanently upon receiving them.
The problem? The steps outlined how to check the subject line for the word "hi" and permanently delete it and the message flag.
I tested this out, and Outlook isn't case sensitive, nor does it recognize if the target word is embedded. So any email with the word 'hi' anywhere in the subject would get deleted. (e.g. this, Chicago, chickenpoop, etc) It was also suggested that the exception be if your name was in the To or CC, but we use so many distribution lists, that wouldn't matter too much.
First, Moore's Law refers to the doubling of the density, not the speed of the chip. So your "40GHz" example doesn't fly.
Second, it is commonly referred to as a law, it wasn't the original poster's idea.
Third, once we get past silicon for chips, I think Moore's Law is out the window.
I am a big fan of Rogue Spear, after finishing it I bought the Urban Operations pack. So I naturally picked up Ghost Recon when it came out. It is a slightly different type of game, which has some things better than RS, some worse.
It is a wartime game, not like RS which was anti-terrorist. I kind of prefer that format, even though the massive outdoor scenarios in GR are awesome. I also miss the ability to have a wide variety of weapons to choose from. GR gives you classes, where you have 1 or two combinations. In RS, you could select from 10 assault rifles, 5 or 6 pistols, 6 or so sniper rifles, etc.
Ghost Recon is just a slightly different type of game, but you do have the ability to command the other squads during the game, instead of like in RS where you had to define it all before starting.
My personal preference would be to have more silenced weapons in GR, because I am more of a stealthy guy. But the gameplay and AI is pretty cool, the scenery is awesome, and the action is top notch.
If they can legally do this, what is to stop them from striking a deal with M$ to include something like this with the latest version of their Monoperating System? With XP and Passport, I suppose they could just force all users to "upgrade".
Do you think M$ wouldn't jump at the chance to get these anti-trust issues taken care of?
Sounds a little like a conspiracy theory, yes. But ask yourself if it could happen. You betcha it could.
I have had my Rio500 for a while too, and I use RioFXP (found here and all over the net) instead of the bundled software that came with it. You can upload and download songs to/from the Rio500. You can also do any kind of binary file, which makes it a nice file transport mechanism, provided the file is 64MB. Just don't try to play one of them.:-)
Please. The burden of proof falls on those making the claims. Any good skeptic will tell you that. Outrageous claims require outrageous proof. This was a sensational story from the start, look at the title of it! Why focus on the ideas that are brought up when the basic premise is questionable and sensationalistic?
Why would a starving people who are having their country bombed give a rat's ass about Temptation Island? I am guessing that this is some form of sick advertising attempt, where Katz gets paid by companies to plug their wares in his stories. Hey, I don't have to prove that, right?
Yeah, it was for his school project.

Message from Kabul
·
· Score: 5, Funny
ROTFL.
Hi, my name is Junis. I live in a town 35 miles from Kabul in Afganistan. I am doing a school project to see how many people can read an email in 30 days. Please forward this to everyone you know, and keep the headers intact.
I can't wait for the day when I, as a misunderstood hacker, can get in front of some super-villian's computer and say "ahh. This is Unix based!" and start virtually flying around the "city" of databases, looking for the right window to break into.
I have worked at 3 places since 93, with 3 different experiences.
1. HUGE company, one of the big ones. Social life sucked, until I met up with some of the younger people who worked there who hated it as much as I did. We hung out at lunch, and would go have drinks at least once a week. Great crowd. There were 3 of us who kind of made up the core group. After about 4 years, we all quit and went our separate ways. I later found out the social scene died there shortly after that.
2. Went to a startup company. Fantastic work environment, everyone loved their jobs (as much as you can). We didn't hang out hardly at all, but every once in a while we would. This was in a large city, and everyone commuted, so nobody really wanted to hang around after work. Startup died after being there 2 years.
3. New company is big, corporate, cubicles as far as the eye can see. There are forced social activities. (i.e. It isn't mandatory, but if you don't go, you have to work). Several people pretend to be social, because that is the corporate standard. At the end of the day I just want to forget this place exists.
I have friends outside of work, but at work I am kind of anti-social. I mean, it is a work environment, not a social environment. Don't try and make it social (mandatory fun), pretend we are all one big family, then force the corporate standard on me. The sheep seem to like it, but I don't.
The very last sentence of the article: "
Ultimately, technology managers don't want to hear about the operating system, Robinson
believes. 'All you care about is wanting a stable, scalable platform for applications to run on.' "
And the answer to this question is not Linux because....?
Absolutely. A bunch of no-names submitting things may seem impressive simply by the numbers, but a semi-organized set of comments may seem, well, more organized. A short history of slashdot, including number of daily hits and registered readers, would set the tone for where these comments are coming from, and (maybe) give them a little more credibility.
I am sure some wordsmith out there can actually make/. sound at least a little impressive.:-)
I can't belive nobody has purchased my Micropoly shirts. It is a hilarious melding of the Monopoly logo with the M$ logo. I am thinking of making these shirts Open Source... Get them here
By "long ago and far away" you mean when newbie snot-nosed programmers fresh out of school were getting 6 figure salaries and 5 figure signing bonuses? Boo hoo, you thought you were going to be able to set your price when you got out of college, and now you are unsure of whether you can get a job or not.
Welcome to the real world. Some of us got into CS because we love it, and there was no guarantee of a job, let alone a high paying job after school. And I graduated college in '93. Maybe I am a little bitter because there was such an explosion in the CS market after I graduated, and I had to work my way up to my current salary. But you know what? I have never had to take a pay cut, because I have *experience* now. Maybe in the future I will, who knows.
My guess is that you don't really love CS, or you wouldn't be questioning yourself. Were you just doing it for the money? The status? Because computers are now "cool"? I remember when being a geek was a BAD thing. The real people who love CS will be doing it when the market is low, like now, and won't be in it just for the money.
I find it kind of amusing that everyone kind of assumed that Amazon switched FROM Windows to Linux, when the article never really said that. I thought that as well.

For non-Chicago people, Chicago is a good-enough generalization. For Chicago people, I am a suburbanite, not necessarily by choice.
