Video Card Upgrade: We upgrade the Geforce 2 Ti 200 to more trendy video cards, such as the Geforce 4 MX 440, Geforce 4 Ti 4200/4600 and Radeon 9700 Pro (Tyan Tachyon G9700). We also check with a Geforce 3 Ti 200 and Radeon 8500, as both videoards featured an excellent price/performance ratio and have been very popular.
Aww, come on. You mean to tell me you don't buy parts based on how "trendy" they are?
Want to sell this POS game?

Add a working BFG. Or even just the venerable old shotgun.
The program runs each weekday. 11 unique markets (140 stations), 1 hour show daily, 5 days. That's 55 hours a week. Nevermind the fact that it probably runs at the same time in a few cities which would make it impossible for them to do it any other way.
And it's obvious that they should use PGP to encrypt emails from huffy constituents or emails that contain draft language of a law that will be public anyway?
Imagine if that email complaining about a 4% increase on beer tax fall into the wrong hands...
I am willing to be that the SAS doesn't send emails to MPs (or anyone for that matter) outlining their next secret operation.
it seems customers don'd mind all that much if their computer does not run Windows and doesn't carry an Intel processor
Is having an Intel CPU still that big a deal to the average consumer? I know they still blow a ton of cash on advertising how a P4 will "make the internet faster" and the like, but does your average consumer care? They obviously care about Windows, not because it's Windows but because Deer Hunter 8 or 3D Home Recipe Book VI won't run on anything else. But the CPU?
Never had a problem with Speakeasy. Switched to them from Interaccess (local Chicacgo) which was bought by Hosting.com which was then bought by Allegiance. The Interaccess service got progressively suckier with each buyout until it became a capped, crippled, unreliable piece of crap.
Speakeasy has been excellent in service, support, and extras.
On topic, I use bluedomino.com for hosting. Kind of expensive but I've been with them a long time and like everything as it is.
They could use a family member as collateral. That way they get the book and save a bit on upkeep while the family member is in the care of the libray. And the library could use the help dusting books for fingerprints anyway.
Yeah, and I bet you also never knew it's really the USA PATRIOT ACT where ACT = "Avoiding the Constitution Totally." They love to chuckle at that last bit while they're "representing" us on Capitol Hill.
Buttloads of $ vs. determined individual: vulnerability.
Someone will always find a way to steal and no matter how good your security, when you have the human element on the inside, you are vulnerable. That's why auditing to detect theft is as important as securing against it.
Great analogy. As applicable as, "If you have a one legged dog, you still can't kick a cop in the nuts and steal his lunch."
Trying to look at it from a common property law standpoint is exactly what makes judges, lawyers, and lawmakers look so stupid most of the time. This is nothing like stealing a TV, having an open front door, having a house, whatever. It's like having a website and publicly publishing data you don't want anyone to see and then suing someone who sees it.
Hmm, Dresden, London, Stalingrad, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, just to name a few. Bad as they were, Pearl Harbor and WTC aren't quite the same. Oddly, they incite people to war rather than put them off it.
Cable companies claim that the 10% minority "bandwidth hogs" slurping up 90% of "available bandwidth" is f'ing up their system? Funny that, since a good number of their owners and CEOs are part of the 10% minority of Americans slurping up 90% of the wealth...
Tell you what, I'll submit to 5GB per month when they agree to $100K per year.
"The industry will find a way to prevent copying and redistribution of the content they sell, which will trigger great and incessant rants about rights being trampled."
No, because then I will be driving from town to town in a 60's era VW minibus with a DVD and CD replication rig in the back. I will pull into your neighborhood and all the kids will run out with their favorite discs and I will copy them and give out new ones. Each town I go to, I get more content and spread it around. People will sing "The Mighty Quinn" when I arrive. Any attempt to arrest or sue me will be shot down by a rebellious hippy smirk, Wilde-esque wit, and the support of millions of information-starved ex-internet users. PUSHBROOM OWNZ j00!
That's kind of my point. They'll think they know someone is there, but it's just a phone. You could carry 10 phones with you and they'd think there's a bunch of people at a particular location. Maybe only if you spread them out a bit, whatever. It's fairly usless for actually "tracking" someone as you and others have said. Anyone who doesn't want to be tracked/spotted can avoid it. This will be useful as a tool for rescuers, advertisers, traffic reports, etc, but not necessarily for law enforcement or security.
A. Turn off your phone, rendering the "tracking" useless.
B. Not carry a cell phone if you're going to be trespassing on corporate or government property (or otherwise monitored space).
C. Throw your phone or launch it with a slingshot and send the coppers on a wild goosechase for "a man that can accelerate extrordinarily fast, fly, and then disappear [as the phone smashes into a hundred pieces]. Gentleman, we have found Superman!"
"The fact that he is (has) forcing advertisment as part of the settlment gives me a reason to believe that he honestly thinks he was wronged, and this is a matter of principle to him (not (just?) money)."
Would seem to me that, as the idea of advertising is to gain more business, and the idea of more business is to make more money, he is clearly in it for the money. Now if he had asked for part of the settlement in donations to animal shelters or something, that I might see as a matter of principle.
At $1600*, I don't see this being for "Joe Desktop" either. Maybe corporations will buy them for energy and space savings or your average home user will like the "green" aspect, but there a lot of other, cheaper options. Hopefully it does well, but it's the old "too expensive for the non-enthusiast, too limited for the power freak" problem.
Slashdot Mirror
For example.
007 Nightfire for GCN: $49.99
007 Nightfire for PC: $19.99
at ebgames
You will find that's similar for a lot of games on both platforms. Ghost Recon? $49.99 GCN, $39.99 PC (GOTY edition even, for the PC).
You have the prices for the games reversed, dumbass.

Thanks. Very helpful, considering I thought Carson Daly was a woman.

The segment, which also includes Microsoft's TV platform and PC games...
He asked about Xbox losses. Since when are Microsoft's TV platform and PC games Xbox related?

Yeah, or they can give the the naysayers (h04X0rz?) a telescope and they can watch the Chinese building a colony there.

What's interesting is that the dictionary doesn't really teach you how to use it. Maybe you should check out an English class.

Yes, ignorance is bliss. Especially when you're having second thoughts about dropping $500 on an iPod.
If you want to save time, don't read the article and don't post.

Oh, crap, it is now officially an emergency situation.
