As a current developer of cell phone applications, I would kill for the amount of storage to store 12 songs, and the memory to play them. I think most computer people would be suprised by the hardware restrictions of even current generation cellular phones. I consider myself lucky if the phone I choose to use has more than 64 Kb for each application and > 256Kb of heap memory.
are about 1/10th of my books. Noteable selections: Against Empire, The Demon-Haunted World, A People's History of the United States, Downsize This, Stupid White Men, Target Iraq, 1984, Culture Jam, A Brave New World, Strategy of Deception, The Persian Gulf War Did Not Take Place, Frontier Justice
Though none of this means I am a terrorist, it quite obviously betrays my political leanings, which frankly I'd rather not expose to the government because the current administration is not responsible enough to handle that level of disclosure. I am not an extreme example and thus others have even more cause for concern than I
I personally would like a 'caps lock' type key that instead of essentially holding down the shift key for you, it would hold down any key you want. For example, on my powerbook I use the fn-downarrow combination to do page down while browsing the web all the time. If i could press the funtion key, and then the caps lock key to get it to keep fn pressed for me, that would be fantastic.

Praying is far to much of an unreliable protocol. I demand at least a three-way handshake on all prayer requests and my timeout for prayer fufillment is set very low. Certainly not > 2000 years waiting for jesus to show up again.
Nice job making a blind guess about that guy making blind guesses. Straight from the Apple store: "Beautiful industrial design Housed in a sleek, lightweight aluminum alloy enclosure, the PowerBook G4 is resistant to stains and scratches. It's also perfectly smooth on all surfaces, with no doors, protruding latches or levers to break, and no sharp edges to catch on your clothing."
They've been using aluminum for a while now. Com'on guys, you're arguing over what metal the frigging laptop is made out of like you're comparing dick size
"Nope. Plastic blocks cannot cost much more than a few cents. It's simple injection molding, the same way they make CDs. Not much material in each block. The only reason lego charges such outrageous prices for them is because they can."
Anyone here ever player warhammer (40k or otherwise)? I did but the price ultimately made me abandon that hobby. I never did understand how ANY company could charge $40 for 3 grams of molded plasic that you had to assemble and then paint, using their very own $50/ml paints. It was just mind boggling
It seems like it'd be fairly simple to refine the system to harvest solar power, store it in batteries and then use it to rearrange the sign later. Granted this would not work if you wanted to do the full blown 'video billboard' but if you only had to reconfigure it every time a client changed ads it'd be very possible to keep it entirely off the grid.
"You want a game that is challenging but never frustrating," said Ms Fryer.
Being a long time, hard core gamer the games I find easy are challenging or even frustrating to the majority of other game players. I feel as though I have wasted time and money if a game fails to challange me and forces me to make a concentrated effort to improve my play. Obviously this isn't what the masses are looking for. But in the long run I, and gamers like me, will buy more games. It seems that game developers know this and many new games are very difficult, and demand that the player accept a certain amounts of initial frustration in order to improve to the point of being able to beat the game. The old practice of starting a game off easy and ramping up the difficulty as it progressed often merely resulted in a bland experience. Much of the time spent playing was far too easy and eventually the player would hit a wall they couldn't pass because the game never had forced them to adapt and learn the game in order to pass difficult challanges.
I guess in short, everyone has different ability, and unique levels of patience when it comes to games. It's nearly impossible to make a game that can present challenged to gamers over the entire spectrum of tolerance. This is compounded by the spectrum being polarized between the hardcore gamers with a large skill base and drive to beat each game, and the intro level gamers trying to break into a market mostly aimed at the hardcore. As time goes on, more people will have grown up with video games and begin to flesh out the middle of that spectrum.
can someone explain what each RAID specification means exactly? Although I know RAID 0 through 5 exists I'd like to be clear on the distinctions of each.
It seems to me, although I'm no expert, that the environment these will be used in contains quite a few variables that could inhibit their usefullness. For example, many things act as faraday cages, such as the system of supports in some buildings or the sculptures on the ceiling of my school's library. Wander into one of these zones and your child/wallet/x-men collectors issue #1 will become invisable. Also, to what extent would these tags be resistant to microwaves, electical dischages, water, etc. Some careful thought may need to be given to their placement.

Scene: A youngish, slightly geeky guy wandering with his cell phone. Enters from the right.
guy: "can you hear me now?"
phone: "!@$(U*HAa9810"
guy: "... good?"

I always assumed the people responsible for the ctrl-alt-del was the Windows development team.
I guess those were the people responsible for the NEED for ctrl-alt-del
i mean they have to have the phone number of the guy who bought a segwy on file somewhere. hardest part is dialing it right
