Who cares about realtime.. There's so many times when I see another Dodge Neon with "Viper Series" stickers all over it with painted/flaking calipers/wheels, man.. To be able to always get pictures of those ricers and expose them to the world, well, I'd pay $2k for one of those phones.
That's like saying that reading the dictionary is the best way to learn to speak English.
You need something that puts pieces together, puts things in perspective, gives you a 10,000 mile high view and drills down into certain aspects of what it's trying to cover..
Just being devil's advocate. I learn from source code. After that, I hit websites that dive deep into the subjects (like the main php site), and finally I'll take a college course (community college, mostly) on the subject just to get it on paper that I know it.
Sega has the #1 sleeper hit for the gamecube right now.. Monkey Ball is by FAR the best game out for the system. It's got that cute-Nintendo-like-appeal. Extremely addicting. My buddies stop over and chuckle when I suggest we play Monkey Ball over Halo, GTA3, etc -- and then 5 hours later when we finish our last game of Monkey Target and can't hold our eyes open any more, it's time to put it away..
Am I dunk, or haven't I been using tabbed browsing in Mozilla now since version.5?..
Could somone enlighten me on why someone would ever want to use Netscape again?.. What added functionality does it provide over Mozilla 1.0/pr2 (build 2002051206) --
OH CRAP! Tomorrow I'm going to get the infamous "Your copy of Mozilla is so-and-so days old. Time to update!".. Can't wait!
Wouldn't access to the password file be the weakest link? Who doesn't run a shadowed password file anymore?..
Without that - you're looking at brute force. So, start guessing at usernames, and start guessing at passwords for those users. At since the Unix login slows down the more you attempt to get in, well, it's pretty damn hard.:-) Oh, wait, every system has root! Well, show me a system that lets you login as root and I'll show you a sysadmin who should be shot.
Windows - on the other hand - is no issue, they lock accounts after a couple failed logon attempts. Microsoft knows how to implement tight security controls.
Uhh... This isn't for this crowd.

For example, when you are watching a video and the phone rings, simply press Mute. The Harmony will not only mute the sound, but will also pause the video.
Did I SAY I wanted to pause the video?..
I'm sure this is configurable, but I really don't think this device is useful. Two years ago, my wife bought me one of those cool lcd-screen remotes (The Marantz), and while it's pretty cool to be able to set it up so one button will dim the lights, kick on the behind-the-tv light (ease the eye strain), turn the TV to input 2, kick on the DVD player and the Receiver -- I found that after a few months I started using my normal remotes again. It was just too much work to keep this configured correctly.
Now, for my wife who has no clue what inputs things should be on - this is okay. But most of my good remotes (with many buttons - which I like, and with tactile feedback - which I like even more) have the ability to learn the capabilities of a few other remote's functions - so my receiver's remote can control my TV.. I just set up a few of these remotes that I use most often to control a couple other devices that are associated with them, and I'm very happy.

So, how do we get this guy out of public office? This is sickening. The government pursues them for monopolistic practices, and then we still this this gross conflict of interest arising..
.. because after I read a story here last month and found out about the uce@ftc.gov address they want spam forwarded to, I've probably crashed their email servers 10 times with the volume I've pushed to them.
People - use this address to bounce your spam to - it appears something is actually being done about it!
(This is debatable) Better to have the feds go after these people then report to spamcop and have, well, ISPs breathing down your back.
If you wish to run Gran Turismo 4 in full resolution with highest graphics settings, 4 Playstation 3's are recommended.
Well, I guess if they're rack-mountable, I'm game. Bring it on.

Yup. And there's something to say for using your imagination... OH CRAP! The green "@" and the red "'" are trying to eat me!! Ohhh noo!
Do we need graphics fed down our throat for everything? Anyone remember playing AD&D? Or even D&D? I never walked out of a game saying "Hey, DM, your graphics suck!".
I tell ya what tho - I've spent about 20 hours playing Balder's Gate II, which is fun - but since I've started playing BG2, I've put in about 40 hours of Nethack. I have to keep playing - all for the high score list when I die.
I have one of these mounted on the wall in my garage, with ethernet run out there and in-wall speakers. I'd definitely not want a computer and monitor out in my garage. This is perfect. The inboard amplifier is great, too!
Definitely doesn't belong in a stero rack, though.. That's where the Audiotron is. Looks like a stereo component, and has optical audio out.
And, the comment about how it requires a computer? Oh, I'm venturin' to guess that everyone on this site has a computer laying around. Comon.
I still don't understand why people would buy these things. You already (well, should!) have plenty of space on a PC in your home. You can already rip mp3s. The only thing is you can't cue them up on a stereo component.
Get an Audiotron for $199 or so, and you're done. Use your existing collection. Why waste money..
Now it's time to skew their numbers,.. I think I'm going to have to do about 14million automated searches for "CROSSDRESSING MONKEY PORNO" using their search bar..
