Then you need a TV that does NTSC and a power outlet (or more likely a transformer/adapter) that does US plugs. Although depending on how the power supply of the wii works, it might be possible to buy some kind of UK power supply thing for it instead of the converter.
and I had LEGO and books and games and action figures and cars and even excercise/getting out doors.
I dont know what it is with these people who say that video games are shutting out books and board games and jigsaw puzzles and sport and excercise and toys and such, I had all those things.
Vietnam is also another case of political meddling. At the end of WWII, the french didnt want (or couldnt have) their colonies (including vietnam) back. So, we ended up with a communist government in the north and a democratic government (heavily backed by the allied powers) in the south. Then, the north decided to annex the south and when the democratic government couldnt survive, we end up with a full scale war that no-one except the polititans really wanted and that the communists won anyway (after the loss of a lot of allied lives)
Its probobly not just about the money, its probobly also about being able to control things. I have no idea if hacks for DirecTivos are available in the same way that hacks for regular Tivos are but that could certainly have been a factor.
Show me a box that: A.Lets one recieve and record digital cable (including all the encrypted channels and pay-per-view content etc) B.Lets one copy the recorded content to a computer on my network or to some kind of removable storage e.g. DVD (without DRM or restrictions on further copying) and C.Is legal (so it wont get shut down by the cable companies) then I will be interested in a HTPC as a DVR.
Of course, no such box exists. If you have A, the cable companies and content providers wont let you have B so you have to do illegal DMCA violating hacks which means you can't have C.
Any good bank with an online banking system will use some kind of notification/messages in the online banking UI itself or will use physical mail instead of email (or in addition to the email). Generally I ignore any emails claiming to come from my bank. If the information is that important, I will recieve a paper letter or I can read about it on the website/online banking.
Everything I have seen suggests that it would be easier to make a totally new mod from scratch than it would be to remove the halo content from this one.
Buy up or partner with some companies making the kind of games that japanese gamers love to play (preferably those making popular franchises rather than just games in popular styles) and offer them briefcases full of money to make their games exclusive to the XBOX 360.
If Apollo 12 (and the lighting strike) were to happen under the current safety-focused NASA brass, its likely that NASA would have ordered an immediate abort without even considering what went wrong with the CSM (or failing that, ordered some kind of abort from earth orbit in case something fried)
I cant run Klocwork on my own code since I dont HAVE Klocwork. What I am looking for is a program that can do the things Klocwork can (detect possible memory leaks, buffer overflows and such) only without the big price tags.
...I can say that I am glad it is being run on something like Firefox. I just wish there was something similar I could run on my own code (or that others could run on their code), anyone aware of something similar?
The big advantage of digital distribution is that the costs are so much lower for the studios than manufacturing disks and selling them. What this means is that something like the iTunes Media Store is the perfect place for the studios to sell all that content that is not cost effective to release on DVD. What will be interesting is to see if the policies of "limited run" (like what Disney does with their films) carries over to the digital world or if we finally see an end to those stupid practices.
Once lego releases the full SDK and such (i.e. complete details to write your own firmware and download to the NXT), I wouldnt be surprised if someone ports soemthing that could be called "linux" to it... Or failing that, one of the BSD variants (hey, if BSD can run on a toaster, it could probobly run on a NXT brick)
Here in australia, ISPs have a pricing model and setup that reflects the fact that bandwidth isnt free and that they have to pay for it.
If US ISPs had bandwidth limits (like aussie ISPs do) and made the high bandwidth users pay for what they use, then they wouldnt need to cut back on bittorrent.
It shouldnt matter if someone is talking over Skype or Vonage, downloading (legal or illegal) content from BitTorret, sending large files to their work over a VPN, watching videos over Google Video, YouTube, CNN or Disney or whatever else.
This is what is needed, high bandwidth users (regardless of what they are doing) should pay their way.
The problem with disabling USB is that more and more machines (especially from the big OEMs) use USB for both keyboard and mouse (my home machine uses USB for mouse and PS2 for keyboard). So you cant completly disable USB.
What about the FOMA m702ig and m702is? I dont own one and cant say for sure but I believe that both run the same Motorola software as other motorola phones but modified to "speak DoCoMo" (as it were)
Actually, thats not quite true. There is at least one motorola phone which has software developed by Motorola. But the external interface (i.e. how it talks to the network, how it talks to things that plug into it etc) is done to a DoCoMo spec (AFAIK, I dont own one and havent seen one so I cant say for sure)

Throw in UMTS too please.

Only problem is that the game is for the XBOX 360 and you cant use new data/code for an XBOX 360 game at this time.

HPs answer: "Go buy a couple thousand dollars worth of special HP paper and inks and the problems will disappear" :)
In the modern age where hard disk space can be had for so cheap, why would you even want to bother with disk based data compression?
Everything I have seen suggests that it would be easier to make a totally new mod from scratch than it would be to remove the halo content from this one.
Do a patent search for "amazon.com" "1-click"...
And moving to whatever it is that Google Video uses. (I believe its just a simple embed tag or whatever it is that pulls in the video file directly)

I thought that disks without the image constraint settings enabled would output the highest quality without requiring HDCP on the output.

Is there a free (as in beer) solution for this?

At once place I worked, we had much the same thing except the ones we had were also ID badges and had to be displayed.
