By trying to make the game makers "play nice" and getting instruments cross-game compatible, buying an instrument for one game means you only need to buy a game to play the second game, instead of needing to pay for a new instrument as well.
Not sure about FedEx, and UPS, but the Post Office isn't so clear cut.
Some friends used to live at the end of Private Road and the USPS would not deliver to the door. They had a mailbox (along with everyone else on the private road), that was at the junction of the private road and the public road. USPS would only deliver to that point.
Since most property comes with Air Rights up to a certain hight you can build (depending on the municipality), I would guess "no". Even if we leave aside the fact that a hovercraft is also referred to as a "Ground Effect" vehicle.:)
You'll notice that the Paparazzi favor helicopters for celebrity weddings because they can get better angles, and "closer" without being subject to trespass, so in this case at least "Hight Matters".
You've been able to buy the Videos straight from your TiVo, you just needed to know the pass code you set up when you pair the TiVo with your AmazonUnbox account.
This sort of issue wouldn't survive for a week on Linux.
Developer specific issues like this would certainly be fixed quickly under Linux, since it is a developer OS. On the other hand, usability issues that get fixed quickly under OS X, are often left to languor under Linux.
In both cases those features may never be fixed under Windows (or would be broken again after the next "Service Pack":P )
Its a classic and a perfect example of all of that political corruption come to life.
To pull a few lines from the synopses:
Dan McGinty's climb to electoral glory begins at a soup kitchen where he is recruited by a crooked politician to vote in various precincts under the names of recently deceased voters for the machine-run mayor. Impressed by McGinty's skill in voting thirty-seven times, as well as his lack of scruples, the political boss welcomes him to the party, and McGinty soon rises from extortion man to alderman.
Should have previewed... Darn formatting (and the lack of an Edit feature!)
Your election might have been tampered with if...
... 90% of the votes are cast for someone not supposed to be on the ballot.
... a voter walks into the voting booth carrying a whole bunch of tools and saying "this may a take a few minutes."
... a voter wheels one of your voting machines out claiming it needs to be "serviced" for a few minutes.
... at the end of the day you find the computed vote tallies don't match the number of voters you've recorded at your polling station... or the machine's own total of cast votes.
... at the end of the day the "secure" lock for the voting machine is being held together with some duct-tape and a wad of chewing gum.

Come on everyone! He's asked for our help, chime in!:)
Or maybe it comes out every two weeks (52 weeks in a year).
Well... "the fine article" mentions it coming out once a month, and mentions 13 issues in an "Annual" subscription, so I'm not really sure how that would work out.
To get Qore, simply log onto PSN and go to the PLAYSTATION Store, as you would purchase any other form of downloadable content. Once the single Episode or annual subscription is purchased, that month's episode will be downloaded under the "Game" heading on the Cross Media Bar (XMB). Users who purchase the "Qore Annual Subscription" will notice only that month's episode is available to download. The following month, the new episode will automatically appear in your download list.
So yes, its limited to the PS3. Its basically an electronic version of a "dead tree" PlayStation Magazine.
Personally I'm pretty excited about the idea of an "old style idea" (PlayStation Magazine) being adapted to a new media (made for on-line, Downloadable, Pay on-line, Automatically downloaded as soon as its available each month).

Isn't that what they are doing?

I guess we "Zeig"ed when it should have Zagged?
Don't think of it as "Phishing Phishers" ... think of it as "Phish Pharming" ;)

(As do telephoto lenses)
But it makes for some mighty polite Door-to-Door salesmen.

Well, a more interesting thing to look at is the roll call for the Presidential hopefuls:
Obama: Yea
Clinton: Nay
McCain: Not Voting
Only if they are sufficiently prolific and redundant.
Having a "personal PC" attached to the main TV only works if there is one person in the house, or if there is another TV that other people can use.
Add a wife, kids, and guests, and appliances like Consoles and TiVos take a more center stage, and a PC with its own monitor becomes more standard.
He WAS saying something nice, he claimed Vista was better than XP. (of course he was lying but

Considering how many Linux Users have built their own machines, I expect a Flamewar over parts AND OSes.
"My Frankenstein 9000 can outperform your measly Borg 100!"
I'm not sure, but I hear the PBX is looking to consolidate things into a Class Action.
Oddly enough, the interstitial ad for this is for "Mass Effect"
Too bad your ISP is looking into tiered pricing that will make this less attractive.
Well
Just a nitpick, but the Sony blog says its $24.99 for 13 episodes.
Not sure if there is one planned "Holiday Special" or something, or they are just including the starting and ending month in the year.

Ah
Not only do we use a non-standard unit, but we use a non-standard unit of that unit?
