I second that. I admit, I have downloaded an mp3 or two from the net (mostly stuff I just can't find in print still since my music tastes are...eccentric). I don't use Windows much, but I do use iTunes on it, and share the mp3s from a server.
But aside from that, I like to know that the files on my systems are clean.
So, yeah, I'd be specifally interested in any utility that could scour a directory of mp3s and tell me if any have such trappings.
It means that now your character is going to slam the crystal into his/her forehead, chug a RedBull, then crush the can on the crystal, sending it in just a little bit further.
RedBull! It gives you wings! And horns! Claws! Razor sharp teeth! RAAAWR!
My checked bag had: 2 bottles of soap (20oz, 16oz), a bottle of shampoo (16oz), a bottle of saline contact solution (20oz), and shaving cream (gel, really). All in a plastic bag with my "Quattttro Extreme!!" razor, and a fingernail clipper and toenail clipper.
Hell, I figured, they wouldn't take 'em if they're in a checked bag in the inaccessible cargo hold!
How wrong I was. They went straight past all those bottles and my razor, and extracted my clippers.
Never mind the Swiss Army Cybertool 34 I had in the back pocket of the exact same bag.
Both of the articles mentioned (and some of the comments here) have folks defending Dell. "That's not been my experience!" Why are these folks only popping up now?
I wonder how many people Dell has employed just to post comments in their favor when they get bad press.:)
Not one person I know has said anything good about Dell support. I've been a sys admin and "computer guy" since '92.
It's not that I think they hate the planet earth, o r that they're "evil capitalists" so much as these are the f'ing bastards putting the squeeze on us all at the pump right now.
So now they're just repositioning themselves in a better light, all the while maintaining their grip on us.
Note however, that you can't make cake from crap. 'Garbage in, garbage out' as the saying goes. The whole concept of a camera on your phone, to me, is like having a television on your fridge.
I believe the article referenced says he practiced in Louisville, right outside Boulder. Which is where I am. Which means I need to quit my job and go picket him.
I'm certainly sending a letter to Ritter and the Denver Post.
You'll have to pay for it online (or find a print copy of the original issue) but this was speculated on in an article in Scientific American (Feb 1999):

The military is leaning more and more toward unmanned, armed, this-and-that which sounds great at first though - keep our soldiers out of the line of fire.
The the really insidious thing about this pursuit is that there is little personnel investment on the part of the military and therefor the government. This MUST be considered in a country where an armed populace is a right and is widely held as a means to defend ourselves from a rogue government.
A government can put down the populace by remote control scares the bejeezsus out of me.
I don't think to myself, "you know, this movie is good, but it would be GREAT IN 3D!" I thought The Incredibles was great, but that's because it had a great, compelling story.
3D is just sugar coating. It's in the same league as special effects. Maybe it can show you something you've never seen before, but it doesn't really expand the story.
They need to focus their time and money on great writing, directing, editing, and production. Not on a gimmick.
Making a franchise out of everything and driving it into the ground is the Disney Way. Sadly, it does pay off for them, since one successful in-theater movie translates to as many straight-to-DVD sequels as they please, once the kids are hooked on the characters.
Try 16 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_chip#Model_history). Even Sun has had 64-bit chips and OS for 10 years now (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_%28operating_system%29).
The only reason 64-bit isn't "mainstream" yet is due to Microsoft dragging its heels not wanting to bare its ass to world that its 32-bit codebase is a horrible mess and damn near impossible to move up to 64-bit (being that up to XP, there were still 16-bit tie-ins to their 32-bit architecture).
I have a hard tim e calling this a robot. Maybe it's just all those years of model rockets, R/C doohickeys, and Lego Technics sets that let you program them using straight gear segments on a flat card, but giving something a pre-programmed flight path just doesn't qualify as "robot" to me. More like "fancy R/C plane".
Hell, even my PT 109 R/C boat had "programmable" movement patterns if you didn't outfit it with R/C gear.

I got a dose of this just recently.

They way they have these set up, it looks to me as annoying as table-top arcade consoles from the 80's. Yuck!
I do think it could be nice as a drafting table, however.
