I have to admit, the Nokia 930 (yes, it was the last one with the Nokia name) was the best actual phone I ever used, and if the toddler hadn't lost it on me, I'd probably have gone back to using it as a phone and kept this iphone as a smaller ipad, since it has the apps I need/use.
But I'll be damned if the 930 didn't have one of the best camera's I ever used built in, but the super clear phone calls were worth the next to no app for several years, until my contract came due, and then there was nothing but androids (yech) or iphones to choose from. from the point of view, at leave the iphones are more secure than android.
Anyone finding out ? Strange, I have been using it since ~20th April, so its not exactly a state secret folks, and before the 'successor' tracker using the same code that vanished just before its return.
We know the feeling well, with the recently booted Labour government from NSW getting the flick after similar stupid tricks, and a PM who is most defiantly 'my way or the highway' also, after saying during the re-election campaign 'No carbon tax', now she's in with a minority, she's all We need this carbon tax thanks to the jackass greenies.
I really liked the matrix online, at least during it's warner brothers run, that damned combat 'upgrade' and removing almost all the live events (and staff) just farking nurfed a great combat system and game into button mashing grind fest.
But it is sad to see, but I figured SOE agreed to keep MxO online for 3-4 years so they could get their hands onto the DC online license (and possibly other things, we'll never really know.)
It sad I have been proven correct, hence goes another different(read non-WoW) MMO that could have been something with more support. Enjoy MMO Heaven and tell Auto Assault I said Hi.
I just noticed they are suspending billing from 1st June. Does this mean if you haven't pre-paid until the end, you can't go back for the finale ?
And the main 'The MAtrix ONline' webpage is going down as of then also.
best combo I have found, is if you have a hardware encoder tv card (Hauppage 150MCE for example), us it as the xbmc pc, recording in the background (as it uses a few % of cpu time) with XBMC in the forground playing other videos/music/media. After the videos are recorded, crunchie to convert it to a MPEG4.AVi file and move it to a specific folder on the server to be watched later. Using Webguide to setup recordings on the MCE machine, and away you go.
ATM, watching live tv unless its from a Myth backend, won't work. But this makes for a good tivo substitute
But download the live version and give it a try first, since it doesn't change anything and it pre-configured for MCE remote control.
DVDBoxOffice.com from Canada have decent prices and on pre-orders, free shipping also. SO the wife will get Spore for $59.60 delivered to our door. Just have to wait a few weeks for delivery however.
Personally I tried it on my MCE 2005 machine, and didn't encounter this problem, but it fubar'ed the MCE part good and proper. After several hours aggresivly googling & regediting, still no joy, so reverted back to SP2 image.
Interesting Fact The term "United States" when used in a geographical sense on official documents, acts and/or laws; includes the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa.
The U.S. has twelve unincorporated territories, also known as possessions, and two commonwealths. The major possessions are American Samoa, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. All of these have a non-voting representative in the U.S. Congress. The major commonwealths are Puerto Rico and the Northern Marianas. Commonwealths have their own constitutions and greater autonomy than possessions, and Guam is currently in the process of moving from the status of unincorporated territory to commonwealth. The residents of all of these places are full U.S. citizens, with the exception of those on American Samoa who are U.S. nationals, but not citizens.
U.S. Commonwealths/Territories include: American Samao (AS), Baker Island*, Howland Island*, Guam (GU), Jarvis Island*, Johnston Atoll*, Kingman Reef*, Midway Islands, Navassa Island*, Northern Mariana Islands (MP), Palau (PW), Palmyra Atoll*, Puerto Rico (PR), U.S. Virgin Islands (St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas) (VI), and Wake Island*.
Puerto Rico has its own Olympic team and competes in the Miss Universe pageant as an independent nation.
So, you have it correct dj. I'm sure this will suprise a few people, considering when most mention USA, they think of the mainland, hawaii & alaska. I know I did.
Indeed you could, in the same fashion as you can go buy WoW now and play with all the extra content that has been added on since the cd's/dvd's were pressed:)
A. Buy the game, play single player & online ala Diablo 2 for the cost of buying the box. No problems. (and free online players share the server/s with paying customers)
OR
B. Buy the game, play single player & pay $9.95 for ENHANCED ONLINE content, I.E. particiate in the MMO portion. You get updates, more character slots, fancyer looking items (it has been stated the Elite players items only look different, not statistically different to a free players items.) and a few other things.
We all have played Diablo 2 ?? Most of us have played WoW or some MMO game online and paid for it ?? So I fail to see the pain in buying the game off the shelf and getting free MMO-Style play, with paying players getting more content (admittedly, but that costs to make over time) and some different looks.
Bill Roper has stated himself he wants to expand the game for the next few years, and possibly even explore the rest of the world. It sounds like a good proposition to me all told, long as you can cancel your sub and not loose your items (maybee they just loose their skin, and regain it if you sub again ?) only the perks.
The Suffering & Suffering 2 have been the best lately for the real 'disturbing' factor... System Shock & System Shock 2 also had it, Sentinal Returns is also quite disturbing. Dark Corners of the Earth seems to have potential too, gunna try it soon.
So, yes, disturbing games have and can be made, but a lot of effort on the creators part is needed so the final game is not diluted or generic.
God I loath that series of shows... Crime Scene inversigators doing all the detective work and closing the case... bahh... at least Law and Order is worlds closer to the truth, even if they have the 'majic science' going on in the crime labs (like the pixel perfect camera zooms, speedy testing etc..)
father in Stuart Little ??:) Most of England and Australia (and I assume many other countrys) remeber him as the lovebly idiotic offsider to Blackadder, in 4 searies of one of the funniest comedys ever going.
But it does speak well of Hugie's range, from Lorrie & Fry, to Blackadder, to Stuart Little's father to grumpy but correct House.
It'll still take a while for DX-10 only games to start appearing outside of M$ labeled games, and unless a new super-must-have MMO comes out with DX10 only support, I'll happily play what games I do have on my non-DX10 laptop:) (A assorted variety & Auto Assault, Matrix Online and World Of Warcraft.)
And on my god, the laptop users!! how many will make the switch to Vista do you think:P
Well I for one am pleased at the hard work, effort and detective work you put into your hobby of trying to pin down these numbers, especially when the companies involved don't want to tell the truth about these figures.
Oh, thats nothing... In Autralia, when your inland more than 100Kms, most GPS systems don't show whole towns or roads! not to mention the old 'take this road for 200Kms then this road for 50Kms' when a different road would get you there with almost 100Kms less..:)

Seconded

But to repeat, old news is old.
So Leverage was a documentary after all..... :P
Johnny Mnemonic movie much ? Same idea :)
Seconded man *high fives*

So we get it in both flavors here in Aus

Soryy, but I just have to point out, Ice TV is only providing the TV Schedules, it is not a device or a recording program.
This is all about providing the tv schedules, nothing else. Channel Nine DON'T want to share or play nice.
That is all.
best combo I have found, is if you have a hardware encoder tv card (Hauppage 150MCE for example), us it as the xbmc pc, recording in the background (as it uses a few % of cpu time) with XBMC in the forground playing other videos/music/media.

Over here in Aussieland, most (99.999999%) can only dream of limits anywhere near that! *sad sigh*
Personally I tried it on my MCE 2005 machine, and didn't encounter this problem, but it fubar'ed the MCE part good and proper. After several hours aggresivly googling & regediting, still no joy, so reverted back to SP2 image.
Even I've seen enough Law & Order to know this won't work more times than it will, and I'm Australian.
But then again, if you say terrorist nowdays then most of the rules go out the window.

HP 4L laserjet ? damn, those suckers were a workhorse, and damned good.
:) Seems the owners know a good thing
I've tried to by myself one in good condition over the years, but never fround one in good enough condition
