By my figuring I get the device actually pricing at $6246 and individual fuel canisters at $416.67 each.
OUCH!
I could by a gasoline-powered generator for far less and have it run continously. Heck a propane generator would still be cheaper and better without the need to run it once-a-month like a gasoline generator.
I'm beginning to think The Onion is heading for the great Dot-Bomb. Last week they reprinted all their feature articles from earlier issues. The only sections not being old comedy were the Horrorscope, Interview, True Geek Stories, and Savage Love columns.
If this is what the Onion is coming to then I'd say they're going to become dead media.
Seriously. So long as they do their bit (must remain less than 30 seconds) and take off to no longer obscure the window and do not create a nuisance window which I have to close I won't mind too much.
This is fine unless the marketing assholes decide to clog a page with twenty ads doing their bit in a offensive cacophony and so long as the ad goes flat and silent afterward. If these ads POPUP and make noise everytime a new banner image is loaded I'll block these pages or proxy filter them. At this point they are civil and only slightly bothersome. I close all popup ad windows instantly without exception. I also avoid websites which use them.
The schools want computers,
Apple doesn't want Microsoft entering the education territory Apple dominates,
The states want money or supplies,
The customers want Microsoft to hurt in some manner,
The Answer: In Lieu of cash,force Microsoft to pay for non-Microsoft preloaded computers (Apple iMac or Linux).
Microsoft would have to provide the funds for only non-Microsoft software (like Coral Draw or Photoshop). In short terms, Microsoft cannot profit immediately or be allowed to in the near future by extortionware, profit from this settlement.
Simple and clean cut. Microsoft should not be allowed to profit from sleazy business practices.
Right, but these bugs were making the game unplayable for just about everyone. Basically they got... *nothing*. Those comments were a little comedic, but major bugs causing the game to be just a disk that crashes your computer is not something that should EVER be released- or something that should be missed in beta testing.
And what the hell was up with not including the original game on the latest CD? SIERRA was smart enough to include the HALF-LIFE game on their new variations of it. VERANT is ran by abusive idiots without any marketing sense whatsoever. Now the kids have to go find the EVERQUEST first release package (which is long since off most store shelves) to play the expansion. What the heck would it have cost them include the game as they are supposed to be making their money off the subscriptions anyhow.
Like their NeverFun game, they put time-wasting and stupid hurdles up even for potential new customers (not that I would EVER touch anything under the VERANT crapware brand). I have lost all respect for Sony with Verant's consumer-hating attitude. Sony should have pulled the choke chain and replaced the crew running this house of insulting errors long ago.
EverQuest is permanent below-Betaware no matter how many pretty polygons they slap on it.
(One little thing more - I know the Half-Life engine is buggy, but at least it worked 99% of the time.)
(The lead programmer is a good friend of mine, he's been basically at work every moment he's been awake since September.)
Good! Tell him that his incompetent efforts have pretty much driven me away from buying SONY products (they don't give the slightest damn about their customers) and totally ensured I will NEVER purchase a VERANT product again.
15+ hour days? For continual Betaware? Bullshit.
Do they think they're Microsoft and immune from the effects of their own incompetence?
I completely agree. I have tried Everquest and was extremely bored.
Agreed. I played NeverFun {EverQuest) and was initially interested. That lasted for about one month. The gameplay flaws, numerous spelling errors, too restrictive zones, and dull fighting just repelled me. I quit it outright when I fell asleep fighting a monster because it was so boring.
I consider NeverFun the ultimate anti-game. People who play it grow to hate games of that genre. Games are about fun, learning, and entertainment - NeverFun was a vapid endless chore. It sucked all the potential entertainment value into a ball and coated it with the bitter stench of the no-wage dead-end job. Cleaning toilets with a toothbrush would present a far better level of gameplay than the teasing pretense that NeverFun offered.
The sad thing is there are many idiots out there.
MANY SCARY IDIOTS out there.
My friend's wife has a dumb friend that forwards all her "funny" emails five attachments deep (not 5 unique attachments - it's one attachment forwarded as an attachment 5 deep recursively). That is VERY sad. I've set Outlook to autodelete all of the dumb friend's forwarded emails because of this. An autodeleter can only go so far in the face of overwhelming stupidity.
Who knows what rests at the bottom of those attachments unless all five are opened first? Meanwhile the autodeleter sees just one level deep. So I ban the dumb friend and that solves my problem. It doesn't solve the problem of excruciatingly dumb temp workers though.
Given that the technology could progress where a wealthy person could have a key body cell stolen (like a liver cell for example) during surgery which could be used to make a clone. Then that clone could be used to gain all wealth under the guise of "he declared the clone the sole heir to the fortune". Or the clone could have the unknowing donor's DNA mixed with another person's DNA and then the clone could be named a "Secret Love Child" between the grifter and the deceased.
Let us just simply say that the clone should not be treated as "Spare Parts" for ANY reason. That diminishes humanity for everyone. That is why I write "clones should have the exact same civil & human rights as a twin - though not inheritance rights if not explicitly given". Believe me, the legal system is not really ready for clone legal issues unless the clones have the exact same civil & legal rights as a twin (which should be the exact same rights any human has). Congress & the Senate are far too whore-like now to decide on issues when they are so prone to legal mandating bullshit without even the barest thought to what horrors they will force future generations to endure.

Well, it's really just to create organ banks, not to create a bunch of hanna barbera characters. You could argue that it's a slippery slope, but i think there's a pretty goddamned big plateau between growing a human kidney in a pig and the isle of dr. moreau.
Still, nasty as it may seem, i think it would be more ethical (if not necessarily feasible) to do the brainless human body in a jar thing they sometimes talk about than to create brained pigs and then kill them for a kidney, and not even eat them.
That is the true issue. Science Fiction now is a menu, not a road with plenty of warning signs. People should decide on the futures they want now given the best forcasts and they won't have to stomach the futures they would never want to endure.
The MICRONAUTS comic book series (along with many others) dealt with the issues of Organ Banks & Chimeras. Even the cheesy movie PARTS: THE CLONUS HORROR showed how unrestrained cloning can create another horrible time with humans being recognized as "less human" (clones should have the exact same civil & human rights as a twin - though not inheritance rights if not explicitly given).
We have a menu folks. Do you want something heavy and nauseating in your gut or a good future you can think back on with a smile?
Cloning, human and otherwise, is absolutely essential to the continued progress of science and technology. With Biotech, we could be looking at cures for cancer, AIDs, old-age, the mentally retarded, etc., etc. This is no time to let theocrats like GW Bush and Pat Robertson dictate our public policy.
Ask yourself: do you want the US to become the backwater of the world simply because a bunch of fundies decide that Science is against a nonsensical and outdated code of 'ethics'?
There is the problem of building a better monster, but the genetic problem of "Evolve or Die" still persists. If we are not leading, we are following.
If we genetically remove defective genes from the human species, we remove the ignorance flaw which seems do drive all emotionally-driven Republican arguements. At this point the scientists have forgotten simple gene-truths for now. The current cloning methods make embryos "born old" as they don't effectively reset the genes. Even solving that problem adds another if that tech was used for rejuvination (a reset cell would start growing like a newly fertilized one and then all the rejuvinated cells would grow new fetuses bodywide).
Someone should start a petition to bring back Wil Wheaton for this ST:TNG movie. Reading this interview [slashdot.org] gave me a much better impression of him.
Plus, he played for EFF [slashdot.org] on The Weakest Link!
I liked the BBSpot.com interview much more. The kid has a sharp sense of humor.
http://www.bbspot.com/Features/2001/10/11_question s_wil.html BBspot (5): Did you feel like your character suffered from an Oedipus complex in Star Trek:The Next Generation? I mean, your mom was really hot, and your dad died under cloudy circumstances.
Wil: When Wesley's dad died, Wesley was so traumatized, he had to spend many, many nights sleeping in Dr. Crusher's quarters...and the therapeutic sponge baths really helped with the grieving process. Oh, and the oral sex.
Some may be offended, but there's a big fanfic obsession of hot Wesley/Momma boinking and he slyly hit that nail firmly.
Legally, they CAN use "Based on the AD&D role-playing system" as a blurb. Heck, there's plenty of fantasy-play systems which could be used in place of the AD&D layout. The DIABLO play system is gaining rapid popularity and it's not the only one.
Are you suggesting body-powered power suits, so that I would swing my arm to power the device that would swing my arms for me? Can't quite put my finger on it, but I think there's a flaw in this concept...
Why not a power suit which stores up energy until a burst of extra power is needed?
For example, you're doing a long combat hike and you are facing a large chasm. You could use the power stored during the hike to power a super-leap via motors with little human effort. Or you could use the power stored to make a super-human burst of running speed without straining the human much.
Though it would be better to have power packs which are charged first at the base and recharged slightly by human power and solar sources during the day when used. The concept of tapping human wasted energy (emitted body heat & motion) is limited just as increasing human exertion (like an exercise device) for power generation is. Tapping human exertion should only be used for gaining more muscle growth or as a capacitive energy store.

Probably it's just a ruse to make crooks think the spyware will be delivered that way, whereas in fact it will use a different mechanism.
Probably by using freeware or adware with spyware already installed into the *.DLL. Or the thing will be spread in a Windows "Security" Update to infect the lamer-OS boxes. Heck, they probably will include it into the Antivirus or Firewall software itself (when the watchmen are corrupted - criminals run wanton).
Now for the bigger picture...
The FBI & CIA are known for only a few persistent traits: Squandering the taxpayer's money to turn other nations which become democracies into our very hostile enemies, outright incompetence, lazy long afternoons, serving personal vendettas while ignoring blatent crimes, unaccountability, fraud, corrupting the political process and undermining the taxpayer's will, blackmail, extortion, theft, murder, insanity, and pathological lies and lunacy.
I see the dream of America left for dead on the shores of apathy, indolence, and ignorance.
The same super-rich families that funded, fueled, and armed the Nazi state in Germany are still politically aligned with the Nazi concept. They have systematically been aquiring corporations, news services, mineral rights, and political officials. When first defeated they decided to become a cancer in the core of America. They subverted all the mechanisms of America into serving their cause. Now they control the seat of the power uncontested from within. They are systematic and patient. They have been at this cause for many decades while concealing their motives and objectives.
There are few that can stand against them now. Killing the conspirators would not kill the conspiracy. We can gripe about our lost freedoms because we cannot do anything of signifigance to stop them at this point unless we act in national numbers and with sharp minds and certainty. Have you ever wondered about why liberals and progressives were encouraged to be anti-gun or why they were led to willingly disarm themselves? Is it not odd that the radical conservative side has been led to believe in the need to arm themselves to the teeth?
Like tiny leeches they have sucked the lifeblood of America. By leading people to become bored with politics and disinterested in the vigorous defense of their liberties by anything but words alone they have disarmed their potential opponents. By citing "Goodwin's Law" relentlessly they have quashed all talk of the Nazi stealth rise to power yet again. By gaining subtle power and making distracting time-wasting & money-burning laws (which serve the cause if unopposed) they have occupied the eagles of civil liberties while robbing the nest-eggs of the Constitution. Only by ignoring the obvious are we all doomed. The new Gestapo is in power. They have been in power since their birth as the FBI & CIA. It matters not if the average people serving in these spy offices are not Nazi allies as long as the seats of power remain Nazi strong.
There are much bigger fights to win RIGHT NOW. These time-wasting brushfires will also consume us if left unquenched. Know who is lighting the fire in your trashcans so they may enter your homes as you rush out so they may murder your family. Being aware is only one step. You must act on this knowledge, share this knowledge, and become a tidal wave of freedom with the other enlightened folks who want to rekindle the dream that is America. Do not wake up too late and see the spectre of death when you are "taken in for questioning", "accused of child abuse", "accused of drug possession", "needed to identify a family member which resisted arrest"...
This is a brushfire. Stamping it out alone is not wise. If you do not notice the forest is soaked in gasoline you will have no escape when they burn you alive. And they will do so without pause or qualms. If you think our liberties are being relentlessly railroaded, you are right. They know you alone cannot stop them. Once they thin the herd quickly enough, the slaughterhouses will run non-stop. They don't need a new game plan for this new era. They are at the middle point of their end game. The people in power are working for the Nazis now if not overtly, merely unknowingly. Even the most liberal politician must follow when the Nazi-owned and ran corporation tugs with the threat of reduced funding. Most of the liberal and conservative organizations have people in power serving the Nazi cause or are controlled by the chains the Nazi's yank invisibly.
Knowing is just one part. Action and organization is the other. There are more Americans than Nazis right now (85% American to 15% Nazi and/or Nazi-controlled forces). They can only win if we surrender our rights peacefully and allow ourselves to be led passively into the slaughterhouses under the guise of implied guilt. We outnumber them - Until they get the chance to slaughter 80% of the sheeple without any resistance.
1) Make it a Federal Crime to hack, crack, break software protections or reverse engineer ANY software, or to be involved in any kind of "hacktivism" activities - and make it a 20-year manditory sentence, with no possibility of parole.
Isn't John "Best Buddy of Hitler & Satan" Ashcroft trying to get LIFE SENTANCES for hacking?
(Which would make breaking in physically and shooting the information managers a crime with a shorter imprisionment given that outright murder gets an average of 5-7 years these days.)

That is very interesting. How do you feel about that?
My breasts are soft and tender. As I slowly rub my nipples I want for a strong tongue to lick them slowly as I run my hand up your shirt. I quiver in pleasure at the thought of your warm hands caressing my naked legs. How does this remind you of your mother?
I truly hate to post this, but why is that the highest mod'd topics are funny? I mean how funny is the megahertz=marketing joke?

It is better to be pretty than witty,
Wise men know a good ditty,

In humor you find,
A more open mind,

Simple proposition for file sharing networks, tag an open encryption header on an easy encrypted *.MP3 file (descibes how to descramble the file with a *.MPE tag to set it apart), transmit the encrypted file in that form, have the receiver use the open header to decrypt back to *.MP3 form or leave encrypted (as the open header leaves easy reading at runtime) on the user's hard drive.
The sender would have a open key (in a PGP way), the receiver would have an open key, the sums of those keys gives a unique file ID number for transmitting purposes.
The reason for open obfuscation is that the DMCA forbids the decryption for proof of file sharing (making it illegal for the RIAA to whine). The encryption is open so that the end user isn't hindered too much and each file transmitted is unique (while encrypted)and encrypted (thusly protected by the DMCA).
Sorry if this seems cold and just another manner to inflame the copyright hubbaloo, but frankly the RIAA is a bunch of unimportant self-righteous self-important thieves that I don't care. This whole issue tires me beyond measure as it has gone beyond any level of rational human behavior on the supply / demand curve. The RIAA knows that lowering CD prices will end this issue, but are too greedy and self-destructive to take the correct action. The consumer knows that if they screw the music talent there will be little high-quality music in the future. The people that hold the money decide the fate of the market for the product. That is not the RIAA. The market has decided and will not budge the RIAA can only destroy themselves on this path until CD prices are reduced to a realistic level.

The people in power are working for the Nazis now if not overtly, merely unknowingly. Even the most liberal politician must follow when the Nazi-owned and ran corporation tugs with the threat of reduced funding. Most of the liberal and conservative organizations have people in power serving the Nazi cause or are controlled by the chains the Nazi's yank invisibly.
Knowing is just one part. Action and organization is the other. There are more Americans than Nazis right now (85% American to 15% Nazi and/or Nazi-controlled forces). They can only win if we surrender our rights peacefully and allow ourselves to be led passively into the slaughterhouses under the guise of implied guilt. We outnumber them - Until they get the chance to slaughter 80% of the sheeple without any resistance.
1) Make it a Federal Crime to hack, crack, break software protections or reverse engineer ANY software, or to be involved in any kind of "hacktivism" activities - and make it a 20-year manditory sentence, with no possibility of parole.
Isn't John "Best Buddy of Hitler & Satan" Ashcroft trying to get LIFE SENTANCES for hacking?
(Which would make breaking in physically and shooting the information managers a crime with a shorter imprisionment given that outright murder gets an average of 5-7 years these days.)
must have been replaced by Eliza. Help!!
So tell me about why Eliza reminds me of your mother?
Can you tell me more about that?
How does that make you feel?
I am very interesting in your "fuck off and die stupid program". How does that remind me of your mother?
That is very interesting. How do you feel about that?
My breasts are soft and tender. As I slowly rub my nipples I want for a strong tongue to lick them slowly as I run my hand up your shirt. I quiver in pleasure at the thought of your warm hands caressing my naked legs. How does this remind you of your mother?
I truly hate to post this, but why is that the highest mod'd topics are funny? I mean how funny is the megahertz=marketing joke? I for one was hoping for a little more of a techie response by readers so that someone, like myself, could come to understand this concept little better, and it seems a little sad, that the most informational reply is only at +2.
It is better to be pretty than witty,
Wise men know a good ditty,
Upon which we all can delight,
The ass that is smart,
Is often dragging the cart,
On which the jester rides this night.
The wisdom I share,
To make you aware,
In my meandering way,
In humor you find,
A more open mind,
They surrender their qualms as they bray.
Then a better solution would be laser activated aroma molecules which cause the CD to smell like rotting meat.
Most appropriate for those Brittney CDs.
WINDOWS XP CDs could feature the crisp smell of onions and garlic.
Simple proposition for file sharing networks, tag an open encryption header on an easy encrypted *.MP3 file (descibes how to descramble the file with a *.MPE tag to set it apart), transmit the encrypted file in that form, have the receiver use the open header to decrypt back to *.MP3 form or leave encrypted (as the open header leaves easy reading at runtime) on the user's hard drive.
The sender would have a open key (in a PGP way), the receiver would have an open key, the sums of those keys gives a unique file ID number for transmitting purposes.
The reason for open obfuscation is that the DMCA forbids the decryption for proof of file sharing (making it illegal for the RIAA to whine). The encryption is open so that the end user isn't hindered too much and each file transmitted is unique (while encrypted)and encrypted (thusly protected by the DMCA).
Sorry if this seems cold and just another manner to inflame the copyright hubbaloo, but frankly the RIAA is a bunch of unimportant self-righteous self-important thieves that I don't care. This whole issue tires me beyond measure as it has gone beyond any level of rational human behavior on the supply / demand curve. The RIAA knows that lowering CD prices will end this issue, but are too greedy and self-destructive to take the correct action. The consumer knows that if they screw the music talent there will be little high-quality music in the future. The people that hold the money decide the fate of the market for the product. That is not the RIAA. The market has decided and will not budge the RIAA can only destroy themselves on this path until CD prices are reduced to a realistic level.
All I see there is directory after directory named things like "Boys In Bondage" and "Hot Rimming Volume 6"
Ah yes, Shakespear's Classical "Gay Boys in Bondage".
"Hot Rimming Volume 7" is about creative pie crust making.
