What you need is a RoboEye3000. Our patented eye implant broadcasts a wireless signal to your recording device, and can be installed in as little as 10 minutes.* Couple that with our Dell & Howel AcoustiAss audio recording suppository, which also receives and records the video "feed" (no pun intended), and you'll have all the surveillance technology you can stand. It's made by Dell & Howel, so you know it's a quality product. AND our receiver is so squishy and life-like that we provide a "Money Back Cavity Search Guarantee" in case of accidental arrest or indefinate detention.** You'll never again have to worry about whether or not you have a cell phone handy or, God forbid, have to carry around a heavy video camera. And if you act now, you'll get a second RoboEye3000 and AcoustiAss receiver, ABSOLUTELY FREE, and well qualified buyers can make easy payments of just $795.95/mo.*** That's right, just $795.95/mo., plus $499.99 S&H.
* May take longer if connection to optic nerve is desired. Original eye may not be reinstalled. ** Items must be returned in original packaging, free from foreign material including, but not limited to, intestinal flora, tears, hair, and corn. *** Price does not include installation. Please contact us if you would like a quote for a qualified installer in your area.
No, the problem is that a "paper trail" means jack. If I can hack the software, I can certainly modify it to record one thing and print out another. The only way to be sure your vote matches the one cast is if there were TWO paper copies -- one for you and one for the record, and then the record would have to be AT LEAST randomly sampled, if not fully tallied. And guess what? Counting paper ballots is the old system. If we're going to have paper voting, then just have paper voting -- no need for electronic tallying.
No wonder they're so heavily in favor of gun control.
Seriously, Hilary isn't a leader, she's a Poll Smoker, although obviously not quite as effective as Ms. Lewinski, who knew intuitively what the public wanted.
I wish the Democrats would promote candidates based on issues rather than their novelty status. I have no problem with a woman or minority president, but no matter who's in office, I want someone with their head on straight. The situation with Democrats is so bad that it basically put Bush in office twice. "Sorry, we can't come up with anyone more appealing than Bush, even though 70% of the country thinks he's incompetent." If they don't find someone competent, and fast, they're in trouble again in '08, and if someone like Giuliani gets elected, things probably won't change too much from what we've got now.
That just goes back to the point that most XBox buyers ARE NOT PC GAMERS. Sure, there's some overlap, but in general they're seperate communities. Halo 3 will drive 360 sales regardless of whether or not it's simultaneously available on the PC, but putting it on the PC will boost the H3 MS Live community.
Anyway, thanks for your comments, but I'm done responding to this thread.
"Aw man, I can't believe you left our chess club bash last night. FIVE MINUTES after you left, the entire cheerleader squad stumbled in and started making some unconventional moves with the bishops!"
"Dude, you JUST missed it. The keg floated FIVE MINUTES ago, and the stores are all closed now."
"Man, I'm telling you, the water was just here FIVE YEARS ago. What took your ass so long to get here?!?"
Nonsense. Halo isn't incentive for someone with a PC to run out and buy a 360 because frankly, PC gamers just aren't impressed enough on the whole. But it may just be incentive enough for someone to pick the 360 over the WeeS3. More importantly, if it were tied to DX10 (as it almost certianly would be), it would provide the most incentive to upgrade to Vista thus far. Hell, if they were smart, they'd give away a free copy of H3 for the PC with every copy of Vista sold.
Yeah, and the worst part is they come here in droves for a FRACTION of what it costs us to go to the moon. And what with their fancy-pants 24/7 solar power, even the energy costs less. I say it's about time we invade the moon and claim it for ourselves.
It depends on the chipset. nForce4 boards aren't forward compatible, but AFAIK, all 865 and 875 chipset motherboards will accept a 4 core. I can't get the Asus page to load right now, but I'm pretty sure I remember seeing that all of their Core 2 Duo motherboards will support the Core 2 Quad.
...but it would be nice if they'd release for the PC as well. They're hardly competing platforms, and it would increase the install base which would in turn increase the pool of players available for multiplayer.
Obviously they're afraid of what would happen to 360 players when confronted with mouse-weilding PC gamers.
Yeah, that's just another reason I left VA as soon as I could. VA doesn't see speeding as speeding, rather as willful endangerment of the welfare of others, AKA reckless driving. 80 in a 70? Reckless. Failure to use turn signals? Reckless. Tires chirped? Reckless. Which would all be fine and dandy if there weren't the other life-crippling pre and post-trial penalties that went along with it. "You'll have to find another way to work for the next month until your court date. Suck it up." Then your license is suspended for 6-24 months unless you're found not guilty, which is, let's be honest, unlikely. That might as well be a death sentence for single people who don't live in an urban environment. It can be hard to keep a job when you can't get there. Still need to get to work, but nobody's available to give you a ride? Well, you could try driving, but fortunately there are road blocks and other drivers to worry about, so even if you drive perfectly, you're still taking a huge risk. Oh yeah, if you get any of those reckless charges while your license was suspended, you're now a felon.
Wisconsin is worse. Cops just sit around and run the license plates of every vehicle that passes.
I know it's hard to believe that society wouldn't devolve into anarchy without such innane laws, but other states manage just fine without them.
Driving may be a "privelage," just as home ownership is a "privelage," but that doesn't negate its importance in the lives of most people. Cracking down on driving offenses only make criminals out of otherwise healthy and productive members of society. It's an effective way to keep tabs on people (since almost every driver is stopped at some point, be it a roadblock or otherwise), and fees/penalties are a huge source of income for the state. I'm not saying driving shouldn't be policed, but VA has taken it, and continues it's journey, off the deep end.
Well what else were they supposed to do with him aside from allow him to drive home? The legal system has two options: Arrest or release. Without due process, nothing else could have (or should have) been done.
A 17 year old kid as he put it was not paying attention and locked up his brakes and hit us. He was charged with careless driving and allowed to drive HOME!
Drive HOME?!?!? They should've locked his ass up without bail. That's the only way those kids will learn! Ruin their futures I say. Everyone's a criminal until they can prove otherwise!
I know everyone likes to believe they were a perfect driver from day 1, but try to remember when you weren't sure when to start braking to make a turn, or how much to slow down. Try to remember the heart stopping moment the first time you hydroplaned or your car didn't do what you expected. That's why teenagers pay a higher insurance premium. Almost everyone learns by making mistakes. A few people learn from other people's mistakes, and we call those people wise, but even they need practice.
If you're advocating better driver training, then I agree 100%, as driver's ed in this country is a joke. But unless there was malicious intent on the part of the other driver, the accident was just that, and he'll likely be a better driver for it. Yes, it could have been much worse, but it wasn't, and I'm sure everyone's thankful for that. If people were judged on what could have happened -- from narrowly avoiding a collision to not paying 100% attention to our kids -- then we'd ALL be in jail.

A Spaceport In Ohio?
·
· Score: 1
Even aside from that, all it will take is 1 Challenger-type catastropic failure raining debris all over populated areas to sway public opinion decidedly against an inland spaceport. Coastal launch sites have the distinct advantage of a (mostly) empty ocean right next to them. Likewise Arizona has vast expanses of undeveloped land. Granted Ohio has plenty of farmland, and the odds of hitting a farmhouse are low, but if such an accident happened early on it would cripple the project.
Not true -- there's relevance as to how the affair with Lewinski was initiated. If he came on to her, then it establishes a pattern of behavior. I agree that way to much of a deal was made of it, but then again, he should've just told the truth to begin with, as everybody else is supposed to to under oath.
I'm no Bush-lover either. I'm an equal opportunity disparager.
If you look in store windows (SW corner of 3rd and Stewart, for example) you can see the reflection of the van. Just looks like your average suspicious white van.
In theory, yes. But in practice, almost nobody reviews the source code, and reading someone else's source isn't always easy. The relative scarcity of F/OSS exploits is probably better attributed to benevolance, sense of community, and small userbase.
what is really amusing is that people who pirate their software tend to be knowledgeable enough to avoid getting viruses and tend to know how to remove them.
If that were true, Google probably wouldn't feel obligated to display warnings when visiting certain unscrupulous websites which provide "cracks." If that were true, Kazaa and eMule wouldn't be littered with virii and malware. You're making a large generalization about a group of people who have only one thing in common: They didn't feel like paying for something.
Even people who are "knowledgeable" can and do get infected by trojans, simply because they trust their source and/or the infection is too new for AV software to identify. Even those who are paranoid to excess, testing each application in a VM beforehand are not immune to time-delayed infections.
Removing an infection is likewise predicated on the knowledge of its existance. But that alone is not enough. The removal process is usually research intensive rather than some innate skill, especially for an infection devious enough to slip past a guarded user. I've seen extremely savvy users resort to wiping their hard drives more than once, simply because they couldn't remove, or couldn't be be sure they had completely removed, some piece of malware.
That (we men believe) women have terrible taste is neither surprising nor insightful, making your post not far removed from the novels you deride, although fortunately with a much smaller distribution.

"Users" is plural, so "their" would be the proper pronoun. And yes, there is an apostrophe in the possessive form of one.
This sounds like every party, ever.

That's no laptop, it's a piano.
Really, and what address do you send the video to?
Maybe someone has accomplished it, but I highly doubt it's company policy. Especially when all you have to do is use the recovery CD to reinstall it.
