Then, i can use my Dual 2.0 G5 with Apple's gorgeous new displays. Yes, i know LCD is bad for gaming, but the new apple monitors are just crazy. At least my "Stock Game" looks good on the monitors.
Actually, does anyone know if ID is planning an OSX release like they did with Quake 3?
I am really annoyed that Intel and AMD market these low end procs. Usually for $10 more you can get a similar speed older processor that performs better. Most consumers do not know the difference and they buy junk HP desktops that I used to have to fix every other week.
Coming from the 2d RPG genre style of FF3 and Secret of Mana, Video Games just don't do it for me anymore. Sure FF7,X were great games, but they don't stick in my mind like my childhood favorites did. As I got older, I found that the stock market can become a game. A very very fun and adicting game that can be played at work or at home.:) Only now, I can control the game based on my thoughts/ideas/suggestions. This game is now manifesting itself into a company that seems to be doing really well so far.
If you aren't happy with games or have time to play consoles, find something else to enjoy. Maybe it'll make you money so you can have more time to go and use emulators!
If only IBM had something similar to this back in the day. My stupid 75GXP's crapped out after the warranty expired and I suffered 200gigs of data loss. Damn, does anyone know the actual failure rate of those drives?
This sounds like more of the movie to reality situation like in "The Matrix." I always had a problem with this type of system as it is similar to cheating off an exam in school. Someone can spend years learning something that could be transferred in minutes. Where is the fairness in that?
Second, I definitely would love to have a system where by my thoughts would control my computer. That would be my dream right now.
Similar to having an X-Prize, there should be greater monetary rewards for robot evolution. Ie: a biped robot that can beat a human on a mile stretch, etc. Then, maybe we would see some quicker robot evolution!

Since the NSA is releasing security advisories for M$ Products can we expect WiFi to be next? The threat of insecure networks in large companies as well as government agencies should be pretty large. On my commute to work every day in the bay area, I come in contact with hundreds of "free" access points, which are left on because of computer illiteracy.
WiFi 802.11i should solve that though... Sure, it will. Aj

If the FCC/NFL is that parnoid about TIVO then they would also have to requisitiona ll video card manufacturers to not include video inputs on their cards. I would assume that most of the information going to computers and then torrent sites are coming from video in cards and not TIVO. On the other hand, I definitely feel bad for advertisers because TIVO could potential hurt their effectiveness, and ads make the world go around. No ads. No Slashdot.

NASA needs to do more to remind Americans of the importance of space to the future of mankind. Things like this that get Nasa's name back in the public eye by showing objects of celestial beauty will hopefully remind people of what is out there.
This should be very easy to do. Company's like AT&T assign email addresses to cell phones like 15555551101@attws.com or something similar. I am surprised I have not received any text message spam yet as one could easily run a script to email through every number in America *@attws.com for some product. oops, i said too much.
This is very interesting because the population in Canada is not nearly what India/China come close too. For my company, we can have 20 Indian guys trained and if 10 of them leave we still have 10 more. However, if I goto Canada, I can have 4 Canadians to train and if 2 leave, my project will fail due to not enough resources and/or time to train new hires. While the overall cost savings may be equal, the total amount of resources will be much lower. Aj

The TiG4 Powerbooks had the same type of firmware 'fix'. I can't find the link to the upgradable firmware, but it doubled the speed of the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-815A. Definitely was a major improvement over the standard 1x DVD burning that came with my powerbook.
Dogs always get the shaft. "9 Lives" - Cats, "Land on their feet" - Cats, "Catwoman" - Cats. Dogs are so much more fun then cats, they deserve some respect damnit.

I thought Nintendo was going the same route as Sega which was not to release any more consols? What is the status on Nintendo's next gen as well. Anyone have any good rumor sites?

I'd be worried about outages caused my storms. Also, i would imagine the data would decay based on electricity in the air. I think the closest thing to this idea would be to look at the statistics for weather balloons and see how they survive.
It already takes forever for DNS changes to propagate through every network, which can be extremely frustrating when you have a high bandwidth domain. There definitely needs some optimization on the DNS front.
What type of organisms can sustain life under such low tempartures? What would be the mean temperature of Saturn's surrounding neighborhood? It seems that if organisms truly are found on Saturn, the space race is going to really pick up speed within the next few years.
Does anyone think that microsoft may try to capitalize on people's fears of Google having complete access to email and the like? Seems like it might be a good option for them to attempt even though it would be pure hypocrisy.

The anti-trust case seemed to disappear from the media very quickly once the Bush administration came in. I think Microsoft is going to get less support now because of the EU anti-trust lawsuits as well. It will be interesting to see if there is a different decision reached between the states and the EU.
Definitely agree. She was absolutely gorgeous in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." Anyway, the new spidey will probably good as was X2 in my opinion. Now, catwoman on the other hand..

Sadly, most of the streaming video is still reliant on Real from my experience. However, most places now have quicktime/mpeg alternatives. Does anyone know if Apple's new codec which will be released with Panther is planning on being Open Source? It is supposedly going to be able to be used for video streams.
