  1. Re:World Wars III and IV on HighDef Content to Require New Monitors · · Score: 1

    I wonder (as a registered user) if we can modify the source code to WWIV to get a better outcome.

    That does not make sense. To view Laser Disc you did not need to buy a new/special TV. Heck LD had no copy protection at all. On top of that a brand new film on LD would cost $40 ish, while the same film on VHS came out at $100 (rental pricing set before the latter sell through tapes are made available).

    I don't quite get the connection between needing to buy a new TV is bad, and the failure of LD to be a popular format.

    What most companies (HP for instance) mean when they sa a drive is "hot swap" is that it is still warm when you take it out.

    I've seen a number of "hot swap" servers completely cook the entire HDD bus when the drive was removed.

    Here in the U.S.A. we do this all the time.

    I thought the 13th floor was a good film along the same lines as this discussion.

    Have you seen "Abre los ojos" (Open your eyes)?

    One cool thing this may let us have is Mercury Free Tuna. I like Salmon, but love Tuna. Problem is they are I think the highest in mercury contamination and the damn cannerys don't put any kind of warnings on the product (you can eat enough in a diet to give yourself poisoning).

    I seem to remember that Myth Busters did an episode about this. If I remember correctly, classical has no special property compared to shouting insults at them.

    You mean the "Real Meat" factory. Recently some terrorists holed up inside there and a four man team was sent to investigate.

    God of War has sex, so were you listing other games with sex? I'd like to find the hot Burnout 3 action as well as see how much Master Chief has to offer in that department. I hope it is not all him getting it on with Covenent (I have Halo for the PC).

    I'm not saying it's a good thing, but Nintendo is still making a profit. Unless they start operating at a loss for years in a row we dont have anything to worry about.

    As for age and games, blah. I'm 32 and plenty on the PS2 and Gamecube are fun for me (I do not own an Xbox so I can not really comment).

    Plenty of PSX games have been released after the PS2 was out, N64 had some post Gamecube releases, I'm willing to bet there will be some Xbox releases after the 360 is out.

    Holy shit. When I bought my Prius (2002) the bas price was 21K. WTF have they added to them?

    Notching?

    The Prius I drive (2002, old design) has a steady accelleration. I often find I have to let off the gas to let manuals and automatics have their pauses to keep from rear ending people.

    As someone who does not live in NY or NJ, EZ Pass is uses all over the United States, AFAIK all toll roads that have automated cashless systems use EZ Pass.

    This enables someone to drive from IL to NY and not have to fumble with 5 different autopay systems.

    Take a trip sometime and check out the rest of the US, there is a lot of keen stuff out there.

    People claiming to be Christians seem to quite often publicly assault faiths they don't agree with. Seems to me people like them and some other groups want to be free from all criticism while being allowed to denounce all others.

    Even better.

    IF you want to not get raped by the state board of workmans compensation (from the standpoint of running a business), you have to submit to state anti-drug policy (45 % reduction in rates if you do mandatory random testing and a whole bunch of other crap).

    No matter what kind go work you do, you have to follow federal guidelines for levels of drugs and alcohol. These levels are set to regulate interstate truck driving.

    So an IT worker I have to never go above a .04 BAC as thats the limit for truckers. Even off the job if I go above that and for some reason a mandatory test (random or due to an accident) happens before my BAC can go down far enough. The federal .04 level must be followed even if I am living or drinking in a municipality that has a higher BAC as the limit for safety.

    It would appear, now that the terrorists won, good security is about finding someone who is non white and gunning him down in cold blood. Then lie through your teath about the facts in the hopes no on investigates.
