As an additional bonus the AWMP is also a mini web browser, so I've got WebTV when I need it. It can play mpeg4 streams, but I haven't had much luck with divx.
And as I understand it - some story about a flood exists as lore in most cultures.
Hmmm, lessee, most ancient societies would have been severely hindered by a decently large flood. So flood stories may have been passed down from generation to generation, growing with each telling. Remember Grandpa talking about the Great Blizzard of '23 or the Great Rainstorm of '24 or the Great Hurricane of '25? The point is, just because some societies have common myths, doesn't mean that they are true. Almost all societies have creation myths. That doesn't mean creationism is true.
Even if they are not supposed to do that, I suspect that this could even happen with the CTRL-ALT-DEL handler that Microsoft put in, write a program that sends CTRL-ALT-DEL, then wait a few seconds, get some window handles and then have fun.
computers and video devices must be prepared to react to instructions embedded in the film.
Hmmm, I don't this guy has ever been whacked by the Bruce Schneier clue stick. Mixing data and code is a real nice way for virii to propagate. Of course, the MPAA would never really be interested in putting malicious code in their movie streams, and since piracy will be illegal, we'll never have to worry about virus writers modifying movies.
Terminator 3, when you stream the Terminator, your computer really does get Terminated!
It had a risc processor that was almost four times as a fast as a palm's cisc processor, but responded to user-generated events almost three times as slow. This is probably do to the fact that the linux kernel does not prioritize handling UI events whereas PalmOS does.
No, it's slow because of a combination of low-memory and running some things out of flash ROM. ROM is slower than RAM.
The Agenda did not remotely have any serious human factors involved in the hardware design.
It/s not as bad as you say. I carry mine everyday, never have problems with it's design. Reportedly the VR3Rechargable that never made it to market was thinner.
The user interface was badly designed.
It's an excuse, but it's under GPL. Look at AGToys and numerous other projects where people re-designed it. I think if Agenda had had more time and $$$ to hire a couple usability nerds, it would have gone much better.
Agenda's web site really didn't contain a whole lot of information that was helpful and only contained a few pieces of documentation here and there. There seemed to be this attitude of "if you want help or support or information, check out the agenda community".
You and I agree on that one. Luckily the community is still quite strong.
I bought one. I enjoy it. I wish I had more time to develop on it. I wish it had 16MB. I wish they didn't go out of busines. But what the hell, I've had fun.
So would you enjoy an RPG where you got the be an angel or a prophet or a messiah, and I got to be a demon, a feminist, a socialist, or a guy who reads Harry Potter?

What?! Did you just blame Hollywood for ruining the credibility of the Bible?
Got news for ya pal, there were non-believers before Satan set up his first hand-cranked camera in an effort to destroy humanity.

I've thought about this, and I wouldn't build my own for the same reason I won't put a DVR computer near my TV -- the fan noise and the esthetics.
I predict the suit will be against Groklaw!
It doesn't have anything to do with computers, but Bishop Ussher declared the date of creation to be October 22, 4004 BC.
He wasn't correct, in fact he was wrong by 6 orders of magnitude. But hey, A for effort right!
The TailGator is a gaspowered blender.
No one really needs one of these, but they are pretty cool.

try quietpc.com. They've got lots of good stuff, including hard drive cooling blankets. Worth a look.

Or maybe that's just bad science.
