I love how the focus of the comment is about HP region coding while few if anyone is commenting on the more expensive part of the article how an Apple G5 exploded do to power issues.
Evidently this Flamingo Travel has been getting complaints about the one sending spams and it is affecting their business as well. A message is at the top of their website saying it is a different Flamingo Travel.
As someone who lives in San Diego, Legoland is only for the very young. I'd say under 6-8. There aren't very many rides and mostly it is showing off lots of very intricate and large legos. They eventually had to get liquor licenses so the parents could be somewhat entertained while in the park. The zoo and animal park are a much better deals and more entertaining.
Well this company has 4x5 digital camera back. I don't know how long until they would go to an 8x10. They work with photographer Stephen Johnson who has does all or most of his work digitally.
There were more details in this article where the laws they allegedly broke are described. Evidently penalties are up to five years prison and $2500 fines for sending 10,000 messages in 24 hours or 100,000 messages in 30 days.
What I find interesting is the list of top file swaps. Seems more hip-hop than pop are being swapped (although there is now some overlap). Does this mean that Radio stations should look to change their formats (words in a lot of the songs might prevent that). How many pop stations are in your area vs. true hip hop unless you live in New York or L.A. The top ten list was:
50 Cent P.I.M.P.
Chingy Right Thurr
Black Eyed Peas Where Is The Love
The Ataris Boys Of Summer
Lil' Bow Wow Let's Get Down
Lumidee Never Leave You
Beyonce Knowles Crazy In Love
Christina Aguilera Can't Hold Us Down
Smile Empty Soul Bottom Of A Bottle
Lil' Kim Magic Stick
I wonder when they'll blame file sharing for the lack of success of Gigli. I mean someone probably uploaded the film to the web so everyone could just watch the film from home. That is the real reason why the film flopped!
Oh is that what France has not been doing in Africa for the past few decades and Russia in Chechnya and by the way, where is Yugoslavia (Bosnia, Serbia, etc). Just because they opposed the war in Iraq, they are not necessarily so venerable and need to be emulated.
Actually, they've had one failure so far out of eight with another launch to occur on June 10. Still while only a few launches, this is pretty good start considering their competition and their costs are way less. Both XM Radio and Direct TV have used them to launch satellites.
Actually, Boeing is leaving the company out to dry because of how cheap they are. They directly compete with Boeing's much higher cost Delta rockets and Boeing really wants the company to fail. This is because of their merger with Lockheed Martin that got them into the rocket business after Sea Launch was set up.
I was not aware that Burt Rutan is working on large rocket engines to enable geosynchronous orbit. The article is about the commercialization/privatization of space and how it compares to the airline industry (still heavily government subsidized in some cases) which found cheaper ways to do things in order to bring it down to costs the public could afford.
San Diego Technical Books provides a lot of discounts on technical books. However, I think most engineering texts are publisher priced and can't be messed with.
I wonder if the size of one's queue affects availability. If you have a great number of movies in your queue, you probably would not care as much if a specific movie was not available versus someone with just a few movies listed in their queue. This may also explain why a new user would have greater access to movies since their queue would not have grown so much.
I thought that the reason for this came about because the US government was planning to use the GSM based system that is already in place and being used by the Iraqi Leaders.
The implication is that the US government will have any easier time listening in to Iraqi cell phone conversations if they continue to use GSM versus CDMA that the congressman is pushing.
Check out the February 2003 Linux Journal (got it today in the mail). It has an article on a new Integrated Libray System called Koha from New Zealand.
I have not read the article yet, just marked it to read when I find the time. It may be what you want.
There was an episode of Sixty Minutes II recently where they had Kamen showing a prototype Stirling engine that could also be used to purify water in remote rural villages while providing power to charge cell phones, Segways, etc.
The show didn't say when the engine would be available for sale. But I see it as a much greater achievement than the Segway and something that will change the world more than the scooter.
How did a discussion of an anti-semite continue on to a discussion of the evils of Israel? Oh yeah, because if you hate Jews it's probably for a good reason and the good reason nowadays is Israel!
Saying Why do american "patriots" so often feel the need to blindly defend the U.S? Saying that the marks are irrlevant, that the european press is more evil and not free at all, and it's some damn liberal plot again. is the exact same thing as me saying, "Why do some american pinko, leftists, insert your cliche liberal statement here, so often feel they need to blindly accuse the U.S. of doing bad things. Saying that something is not perfect, that the system could be better, that we are not free at all, and that it's a right wing conspiracy."
It happens on both sides. However, when some institution makes a claim that certain countries are better, they should be able to back those statements up with clear grounds. It seems to me that yes the U.S. is not perfect, but there does not seem to be a concise reasoning on why some countries are ranked higher than each other. I read the article and it seemed like they felt this way without concrete data. What is the per capita arrests of journalists vs. other citizens. Per capita number of journalists that are killed by governmental troops, police, or the like. Number of stories censored by the police (which would not include self-censorship because it is against the law as in China, Korea, and Germany for example).
These are valid data points that is not shown in the article. If they don't show their data shouldn't we as a matter of good intellectual argument discuss the validity of their subjective arguments.

I forgot HP = BAD, Apple = GOOD.
How the hell did he become a member of the AFL-CIO and as a Republican, why would he support a union or at least acknowledge membership?

I can't believe you forgot the Twinkie Defense!

Wow an anonymous coward is actually going to deny Israeli's his software. I am sure they are so sad. What did you write "hello world?"

The only thing that would make this announcement any better is if Bill Watterson were to get the other half page.

Here is a link to past launches
Sorry, merger was McDonnell Douglas, not Lockheed Martin.

They are in California. They are suing California for their anti-tobacco ads.

Isn't this like saying the U.S. should not have gone to war in Afghanistan because the ancient statues of Budha might be destroyed.
Oh wait...nevermind.

You really should not talk about Quebec that way!
