Well, I believe their wording is for people who have a CD in dash player that is their primary unit, you have your's as a secondary unit, using the interface that the iceLink WOULD use.
I have not run across a lot of people who would go to the extent to install a a single in dash changer, and not just replace the whole head unit with somethings else.
"Yet if some 'evil corporate CEO' was to refuse to be in a Moore documentary, that would be proof that they are evil, right?"
Well, I'm not a big fan of a lot of overly paid corporate CEO's, not because of Moore's stuff. As a CEO, they have learned to avoid Moore and most in depth documentaries.
And as Tyco, Worldcom, Enron, etc. have shown, a lot of CEO's are complete assholes when it comes to actually running a business legitimately. Of course, I've met Dennis * from Tyco in person, and he's not a half bad guy. I just would not ask him to run my company.
Most news shows do this, I have seen this happen on both sides.
What gets me is when someone on the Right claims that a Left group does this, but denies O'Reilly of doing the same tactics.
Or the new "Michael Moore Hates America" movie, which from all appearances does an exposé on how manipulative and lying a documentary can be. Of course, the director misses the point that by doing a video documentary, which of course is a selective medium, the director is doing the same "tactics" that Moore does. You know, taking people out of context, rushing them on issues, manipulating their words, etc. (of course, the overall idea of Moore's Bowling for Columbine documentary which I saw was the use of Fear to manipulate and control the populace, the media's partake in it, and the government's use of it. As is F. 9/11 looks to be going more into).
Also as someone who has made a documentary, the medium is very maleable. I'd never be in someone elses video actually, and I understand why moore wouldn't be in the "anti moore" documentary.
Anyway, I am sorry you got manipulated by that circumstance, thought I would throw in my two cents.
For Apple machines, if you want to save cash, you always buy the base model with the parts you want but can't get anywhere else but apple (their graphics cards, etc.).
Then you go third party for the rest of the parts. If you notice, they are usually cheaper or the same price as paying apple to install the parts for you, but you get to keep the old stuff too, which you can unload on ebay, or throw into an external enclosure, etc.
Dude, lux was awesome, but it was kinda confusing, so I ended up playing iConquer instead (its instant map downloads feature is wicked sweet if you haven't looked at it).
But yeah, nice app. Too bad my risk addiction didn't last longer than a week, or I would have purchased it (actually, i had to stop it cause i would have failed courses).
You are slashdoting my school webserver, not theirs, and my school doesn't have a bandwidth transfer cap, so I could care less (besides, I don't live on campus).
The older server on a slower line mirrored tons of images and video of 9/11 for slashdot (done by another student), so im sure this one can handle something in the "games" section of slashdot.
The added benefit of shooting on tape, is once you have it imported, you can lock the tape and keep it somewhere safe, so you atleast have some backup of the video. And with timecodes, you can reimport footage X if someone got carried away with a filter or you scratch drive got munged.
Would you see someone doing lots of quick shooting and editing (blitz movie making became an aspect of the doc. film class I took this last semester) being able to benefit from something like the firestore? or the Pyro DV?
It took a week to get all our video logged and digitized for the final class project, so the last thing I want to do now for our make up shots is to have to sit down and digitize it all again.
My Apologies, I had meant it as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Norther Ireland, but I could never remember it (it is quite a mouthful, and I enjoyed the guinness entirely too much for the 3 weeks I was there).
I totally have to agree on the marketing of Halo... It was totally word of mouth and fan boys spreading it, not really Microsoft churning out stuff for it.
I finally picked up an xbox, Halo LE, really for Halo 2.
Why?
Because Bungie is one of my favorite companies, I have been following there games since pathways into darkness, and I have not been let down. There is also a depth and complexity to a lot of their stories (cortana letters for Halo, and the Enkido letters made by a fan for Halo 2).
Also, considering the political state of Northern Ireland (which is part of Great Britain, etc.) last year, most of these terrorist groups have just become glorified drug gangs, since a major way they go their money was through the drug cartel, now with a cease fire, there is more infighting and killing between the protestant militant groups over drug issues, than between the catholic and protestant groups.
I just picked up the Halo LE XBox, and I can say for a fact that it has no problem reading burned DVD-Rs or cheap CD-Rs with audio on them. It has a phillips drive in it, but apperantly the limited edition xboxes have a better one than others (but the savegame cheat won't work on them unfortunatly).
I just ordered the Xenium for it (since it has a great support and I liked configuration options of multiple bios, and easy to disable modchip makes it so I can still play on Live if i ever get around to it). Comes with a solderless adapter that is super easy to install for $60 total (including chip).
Actually, you can find them, many other posters have listed links to them. And the other thing is, he may not have enough CF cards to last him between trips to computers to upload, whereas with a cf-cd burner, he can burn cds and erase the full cards and just keep traveling.
Totally unrelated, but that looks like an interesting game. Have you seen anything related to that ported to OS X / Linux / etc. ? Cause I would like to try it.

Earth as a planet will exist for an extremely long time. Whether or not we are here is another thing. I feel that a lot of the save the earth attitude is really "save the earth, so we can still live here" which I feel is just as neccessary. I mean, we should figure out how to live on this planet well before we move to others.
Why would I have to buy a whole new computer if the HD just got borked? I think its the reporter generalizing the article. If its bad data on the drive, you can just scan disk and fix it. If it eats your MBR, your machine won't boot until you fix the MBR it. I doubt it physically destroys the drive.
Because it implies the Inuit as living in an untouched, pure, primal state (or something of that nature). The Inuit have always had a practice of incorporating new technologies into their practices, if it worked.
Just as American Major Leagues baseball is considered traditional, even though technologies and rules have changed since its incept over a hundred years ago, the Inuit Ice Trek is still an Ice Trek if the Inuit continue to call it that.
Once they start calling it "Ice Trek, the Next Generation" or "Skidoo" then arguments could be made about if it is traditional or not.
Of course, I would really wonder if this technology is really used by the Inuit, considering that a lot of information about ice flows and such is passed verbally from fellow hunter.
Apple puts memory buffer in the ipod itself. It has a 32 meg buffer, loads as much of the songs / playlist into it, and then spins down the drive. Apple could easily pop a small flash chip on there, that acts like the buffer, keeping the database of information on it. Sounds like a pretty effecient design to me, instead of using the minature buffer on a drive, etc.
I would have to agree with this. As the grandparent poster mentioned, I had the same problem with a now ex girlfriend. We spent all the time talking on IM, so when we were actually together, there was nothing really to talk about (or so we thought). I didn't realize until after the relationship was over, that I never really got to know that much about her, since we didn't spend as much talking to each other (and listening). New rule I have, is to minimize online conversations to only basic facts and stuff, and if I can, to use a phone or face to face communication instead.

I got a built in airport card on my powerbook, and a PC Card expansion slot, so that works.
Or just get a USB wireless adapter, flaky, but hey, it should do its job for what is needed.
