I SHOULD BE ABLE TO FREELY DOWNLOAD THE NEW VERSIONS as they represent a more accurate representation of the recording I purchased the rights to hear.
yes because we all know bandwidth costs are free, and no one would try to download their same song every morning because they want to make sure they have the latest 'version'
It filters it, doesn't stop it from reflecting it. The infrared doesn't search the inside of the lense, it looks for a reflection of light from the face of the lens. A filter would not stop that to my knowledge (which is limited)

OK, I know that sound track is from a video game from my youth. What is it?
As much as I like Leo and all he does, I will continue to leave the G4TV channel blocked from my viewing. What they did to TechTV is a disgrace and I hope they loose millions of dollars a month until they bleed away into obvlivion.
I used to watch The Screen Savers religiously every day. I'd Tivo it and watch three our four episodes in one sitting if I'd been gone for a few days on business. It was a great show.
It started going down hill when it went from the 1.5hr format to the 1.0hr format.
Then they made it 'hip' instead of 'nerdy' and that was all she wrote.
Still, on of my most favorite episodes ever was when Martin and Gary Coleman Hosted. You could tell Gary Coleman hated Martin and his dumb comments, kept waiting for him to explode. Instead by the end of the episode they were zinging each other with snide comments, it was hilarious.
Ya think? Wonder Why SOE had to totally segregate into oblivion people who wanted to play everquest. THere is something surreal about finding 15 people on an entire continent after playing the windows version.
They claimed something on the order of 'to allow them to experience the game from the beginning' or something like that if I remember right.
Amazing how Blizzard does makes it looks so easy, hence my question.
What if a corporation were to decide they were tired of IE and wanted to support Firefox on windows?
That'd be an instant desktop switch over. That's what I was thinking, the corporate computing side. The side that buys new machines every year and has the eye of all the vendors, not the home user that has a computer they bout 5 years ago that is slower than molasses.
First off, as a Mac user who loves MMORPG gaming it was an utter delight to be able to log on the day of launch and play with my brother who is 1800 miles away and running a Windows machine. The way other MMORPG vendors talk this was an impossible task. I thank you for making it either looks so easy, or calling BS on those who said it was hard.
My question is:
What challenges did you/do you face in bringing together clients from different software and processor architectures on an ongoing basis? I'm working off the asumption that the graphics content is similar if not identical and really it's the data translator that sends/receives information from your servers that does most of the client interaction.
What was your motiviation? Just curious. I was hard core gaming with DAOC and SWG but when I went home for Christmas I saw my brother playing (he's about 7 years younger than me) and how much he completely ignored everyone around him including his two kids. I decided then and there that I was not going to play anymore and sold my accounts on eBay and sold my machine too.
I've been using an iMac since and if it wasn't for WoW I'd be ok, I've managed to cut myself down to a few hours in a weekend but when it first came out I was pretty bad about it.
Fortunately my kids can talk now and they want to play outside on their swingset and stuff so that is what I'm using for my motivation to get me to loose weight. As the other comment said the 5'10" and just bending over at 300lbs was a bit of a wake up call as well.
after about a month I'm down about 15 lbs so progressing nicely.
Disclaimer: I work for IBM in the hardware side, so I am biased. IMHO the best thing HP did was buy Compaq and destroy a worthy competitor. This is not a troll, and not flaimbait for folks with moderator points that are discussion adverse. To comply with IBM rules for identifying myself I also need to point out the following comment is my own personal opinion and isn't sanctioned/dictated by IBM
To me, at rough glance, this is typical HP tactics. Instead of touting what they're doing, they point the finger at everyone else and go 'see, they suck so we're OK' but don't tell you why they're OK.
The hard part about the GPL (from the way I understand it, which could be flawed) is you in effect give up any IP claims you have on something when it's submitted if you should choose to change the way you do things later. I think what you're seeing by a lot of companies that are opening the kimono a bit but in case this turns out to be a wild fad or something they can close it back up should they want too.
Personally I think the genie is out of the bottle and it is only a matter of time. But monster companies by nature are conservative, and won't jump whole heartedly into something right away.
If you think they're crappy now, wait until they cut out the cost of the license in materials and design...I'm sure they want to stay low cost and this will just make it a higher cost so you have to skimp somewhere.
Personally I've yet to find a third party controller I like more than the OEM. But then I don't have an xbox. I have this weird thing about letting Microsoft near my TV, they owned my computer for so long...
The sad part for every one of these where the consumer is 'right' there are kids that were buying playstations, opening them very very carefully, swapping out their older version/broken one and then 'returning' the new one. It looked sealed, but then some other poor dolt who bought a PS would get their 2 year old PS home for a brand new price.
Or some other variation thereof.
Glad to see that you got them to see logic though.
I really doubt it. I'm betting this focus is in the lucrative server side fo the business and not the workstation part. The servers are being bundled with ESX and GSX from IBM and now from HP. Booting a USB device on a server VM isn't high on the request list.
Amen. I travel on Airplanes - A lot. What I like about the iPod (or any portable media device, but my weapon of choice is iPod), recline my seat the whoppin 3 or so inches you get and tilt my head back.
With current implementation of video devices I'd have to hunch over and squint through my contacts at a little screen, or, a big screen that lasts 30 min without a power cord.
What i'm hoping the Video iPod will be is a mini-DVR. Preview capability maybe on the tiny screen but mainly ment as a DVR for the masses to attach to computers or TV screens like the iPod Photo/New iPod do today.
We'll see, Apple has always managed to surprise me recently (I was a 'no way they'll go Intel as a CPU camp') and I'd like to see what they come up with. Steve J. has said repatedly that he has no intention of doing a video pod.
because the intel platform ist still dragging crap with it, that is 20 years old?
See I could understand this gripe if we were talking software, like, say Windows.
But this is hardware. Putting these registers down on the die aren't really that big of a deal, and if you don't use them they don't cause system crashes, or other odd things.
Why do you consider this such a big deal? Or are you like me a Mac user who was disappointed and unlike me not optimistic at all?
Battlestar Galactica had it's moments that do stand up to the test of nostalgia (I was 7 and 8 in 1979), however Battlestar Galactica 1980 was a steaming pile of crap then, and even more so now. I was so glad 1980 aired while my mom was in the 'TV IS BAD FOR YOU!' stage and wouldn't let us watch television.
Oh don't get me wrong, I enjoy the show and watch the reruns all the time. It's just a few times I wish they'd arc into another episode. The one that really bugged me was the finding of that Time Machine last season, there was so much promise to what they did and it just kind of ended there.
Sure they used it later to much entertainment but still there was a lot they could have done with it.
Boy I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that upon viewing the little short. I really doubt the death star's fricken laser beam could vaporize a gas giant...
I agree, I thought it was an amazing episode. I think the water was a tiny sub-plot while the entire thing focused around Boomer coming to terms that she might be a Cylon and noticing things she'd done that could have hurt the fleet, etc.
Both of them are my favorite characters. They've really gelled in their characters quite well. Can't wait to see how things go.
I'm not quite memorised on my characters as it has been a few months but the arrogant/pithy/super smart engineering type guy is my favorite guy of the series.
The thing I dislike about both the stargates is they take 50 min to build up the 'problem' and have a quickie 10min solution at the end. I hadn't watched the stargates in a while until Atlantis premeried and I was interested in the premise.
I've watched season 1 and whatever seaon it was of SG1 and after 20 episodes or so of it that was the conclusion I came too.

This is different from a working day, how?
Fucktarded. That had to be the funniest thing I've read in a long time. Never heard that one.
Great job guys. You got the phone back, but did he go to jail/get arrested/fined anything? Or just 0wn3d online?

yeah so will my iBook and Powerbook G4, but they're not small like the iPod is.

Or the same viper shot peeling away to the left or right just by reversing the footage.
Or the uses of the Apollo command module seperating from the third stage as a missle launch
My Dad insisted there was some footage from an old disaster movie or two tossed in there
