For those of you keeping score at home, another way to tell when someone doesn't have kids - when the server at the restaurant puts the silverware, full adult-sized water glass and piping hot plate of food immediately in front of the two year old in the booster seat; it's safe to assume that person doesn't have children.
This is also how I can tell if the someone is getting a tip or not. Had a waitress put a bown of hot beans (for dipping chips) right infront of my 9 month old. As I'm reaching to move it (her arm still in the way) he put his hand in it and starts screaming as it's hot. Far from learning from this she put every future dish either in front of him or right next to him.
Correct 2 is available on the playstation with ff1. FF3 (the real one not 6 renamed like we got on the snes) is coming soon to a gameboy DS near you. http://rpgamer.com/games/ff/ff3ds/ff3ds.html is where I read about it first. I'm sure a google for "final fantasy 3 ds" would turn up more.
Sorry upbringing kicking in here. Advent is not dec 1 - 25. It changes every year always starting on a sunday and ending on christmas eve. this year it started on the 28 of December. See complete calendar at http://www.cresourcei.org/cydatesA.html
Not to take away form the program but calling it an advent calendar seems a bit off. Oh well the co-opting of a taken over stolen holiday must continue.
Can you really focus on two screens at once? I can't. If you are going ot want to screens have a second video buffer and some button that swaps between the two. (Not anywhere your going to hit it by mistake to many times, or have a safety etc). You hit hte button secondary video buffer is displayed instead of the normal one. I dont' see how this would be almost as easy as looking at another screen. Plus this way your controls are mapped to only the current screen. This seems like a solution that could be implemented with current hardware, (both L and R to swap or something). If they have to make new hardware don't tie the whle thing to a dumb idea (like many others have said virtual boy!). Just up hte video buffers and add more buttons. Buttons don't drain the battery etc.
Hammers nothing, I got a old drive from a office my mom worked at. it was like an anchor from some old system I'm to young to know about. but we desided to "retire it". So me a few friends and one of hte friends dad's guns took it and other random curplus up to the hills where we proceded to render it all un-usable.
A few 30.06 rounds will due for a hard disk what no amount of rewriting can.
My common responec to what is the best way to clean data off a hard drive is now either guns, or jumper cables...
INAL but I don't think you can just record everything for your own privet playback with out first informing those being recorded. I might be wrong and you just can't use the recording for some things. Though I always thought this was part of why security cameras were video only.
Just to clear things up: Trailers used to be shown after a film, thus the name trailers they trail the film. But as you've I'm sure noticed most people leave the theatre well before the credits reach the top of the screen. So theatres started to show "previews" the exact same thing only before the movie. This had the added bonus of keeping people entertained. And in resent years earning ticket sales to movies people wouldn't other wise be cought dead in (wing commander anyone???)
I just had to point this out after the talk of a preview (not a trailer) but it would be after the movie.
Well when I have the time I go online and see where I end up. I'll use the open tabs in background in moz to upen links that soundslike they might be worth looking at and then either when they load or when I finish the current page I'l lcheck them out. Sometimes they lead to something worth reading other times they don't. If it is something cool like http://www.penny-arcade.com I'll bookmark it and it will become a site I check often.
I think part of the problem is that so much of what I find now days is not worth reading. Also it seems that having a "links" sections is no longer the in cool thing to do. I remember traversing whole topics accross the web on different sites.
Maybe we who did 14 hours bbs or mud sessions, (ahh genocide (www.geno.org) for most waking hours of a winter break, i htink my eyes would have started to bleed if I had played anymore).
But sadily (in some ways) I now don't have the time to spend mass hours online I have a job, I have a girlfriend, and muds are dieing.
IS the next generation just not as tied to the net as we were? I know i've spent tons more time online then my younger brother.
Though I agree that the faster connection is also a factor, I can no get to my mail and read a message in the time it would take to get the first page of hotmail to load on my old 21k connection.
Well it only takes one person to edit the file and share it. I've dabbeled a bit in the online episode sharing. I even got a collection of thundercats cartoons. From talking to hte people who rip and download the new shows there are people out there who have the shows out as soon as they air or sometimes even before. (They yoink the feed).
it's like the deal with copy restricted CD's if one person can get it thats all it takes. They then share it on morphous or irc or usenet.
There are people out there with the speed (think college students) to download these. I've had eps served at over 100 k/s doesn't take to long to get a 21 minute show at that speed.
Why not reduce the copyright limit to a set time after the product goes out of publication?
This way if a book is still being made and selling well it stays in, while if it doesn't it's more limited. Same with games, when they stop making money they stop being made. then after a bit we get them.
I just started using Mozilla with 9.5 and from the last ten minutes of playing with 9.7 I've seen a few good fixes. it no longer choked on a javascript open window link that made 9.6 hang instead it gives a nice error message. I can now get rid of the side bar that I don't use too.
If the improvments and bug fixes keep coming 1.0 will rock
The only nonintutive part of it is having to shift-right click if the file extension is already set to some program. When I first set all my.txt files to be opened by editplus instead of notepad I had to spend at least a minute before I got there. But for the average user shift right click is not something they'll think of. Putting openwith in the right click would be nice.
The easy answer sounds like putting a switch on the teachers desk for internet. If the students have a good reason for being able to get online hit the switch. If your lecturing turn off internet to the computers.
This still leaves time for the students to "play" but if thats how they want to spend their money so be it. I know that I've checked my Email read this site and other things during a lectur, but if I hadn't had access to online I'd still been doing something else, reading ahead, doing another classes home work, playing with send on the novel network.
I don't. I've only ever bought maybe 5 cds. This was not because I was downloading mp3s. I just don't feel it was worth my $18 for one cd/tape.
When (4 years ago) I learned I could download songs I started doing that. I only got songs I wanted, and almost never a whole cd. The record industry hasn't lost a dime to me cause of mp3s. I wouldn't buy the music if it wasn't out there for free.
So if you don't like the idea of these cds don't buy them. Listen to the radio.
a few years ago Napster was in the same boat that lime-wire, Morpheus etc are in now. There is a user base but it hasn't hit the "mainstream". That was when Napster got in trouble. When it was easy enough for any one to use.
Before that when it was just the computer geeks I don't remember ever hearing people complain.
I'd been getting mp3's for a while before napster, off ftps, and irc. So were tons of other people. But with out the nice gui people tend to stay away.
So if Morpheus gets bigger and trys to become a.com success I'm sure they'll get shot down like that little racoon with the bat ears.
One way or another they'll make us watch

While I like the Idea of not watching commercials, if it becomes to wide spread and ad income drops the Network execs will have to think of something new. Like Running ads on part of the screen during the show you are trying to watch. Already there is text and little images scrolling around primetime shows next to their network "watermark". I'd rather put up with a few minutes of ads I can ignor then ones that are in the way of what I'm watching.
