Being able to go up and talk to the pilots as a kid? and they gave you those little wings. that was so cool when i was like 8. too bad my kids probably wont be able to do anything like that.
Uh, didnt they already do this? I believe some programs such as naim (not to be confused with gaim) take advantage of this fact. I belive their system is open, but not all features (such as seeing an away message before IMing a person) are available...but i could be wrong
Uh, i dont quite think its worth the off chance that maybe i might get $1000. If i had ready every EULA for every piece of software iv installed, i would probably have spent multiple years of my life doing so. sorry, id rather spend those years watching TV.
I dont know about you all, but are people really having such a hard time finding files on there computer? It seems that if your savvy enough to find and install one of these programs (and i know many who arent!) you can probably find you files when you need them!
Unfortunatly if a webpage tryes to load something nore than once, IE gives me no way to say 'No to all.' They are happy to provide me with a 'Yes to all' checkbox, but if i have to sit there and click 'No' 50 times, after a while i get fed up and just click yes to all.
I use firefox at home, but my school only has IE, and it seems like i spend more time clicking the 'No' dont insall this crappy software button than actually reading webpages while browsing there!
An interesting question that the article raises is whether automatic takedown notices based on blind keyword searches constitutes spam.
Its not spam its harassment. not just harassmen, but unwarranted harassment at that. As with most things they sould be allowed to sue for damages, but for the time it takes them to rectify the situation, but for some kind of defamation as well....oh wait, this isint in california;)
Spend $199 and hours of time to learn obsolete skills? Games aren't programmed in assembly anymore... things have changed in the last 20 years.
It would appear you have completly missed the point here. First they do plan on making compilers for C and basic.
second on of the main ideas here is to learn how to be a GOOD programmer, the limitations of the system will force you to code well. this wont be like a desktop where you can have super sloppy code, but Ghz of power to force it to run.
Third, one of the things this is designed to teach is the hardware side of things. Its designed to be a completly open system to let you hack, tinker, and create. It comes with a book that teaches you the entire EE side of designing such a system. The idea being that if you dont like this system (or just think it might be fun) you can build your own system, and make it do whatever you want.
I think people may have learned that when you cram more stuff into 1 box, that means that box just has more stuff that can break. I dont want to buy a $600 PVR/DVC/XBOX/Waffle iron, when i know there is a good chance one (or more) of those will break, and i will have to send it away to be fixed at some outrageous cost and time, or shell out another $600.
How about we keep track of all the stuff that we would have never paid for had we been able to see just how crappy it was before ever shelling out the cash?
iv got well over a hundred cds on the desk next to me, bout 6 or 7 hundred filed away, and we havent even begun to discuss DVDs. i think i could max out a TB pretty quick. but anyway, my cas can hold 10 drives, actually it can hold 11, and thats only if your not creative enough to find new was to mount them. just pick up a full tower, had mine for years, its a real 'babe magnet' as well! (unfortunatly it seems to have the same polarit as women)
My computer has been acting up ever since i put it on. It freezes during regular usage, and while shutting down. It never did that before (by never i mean not as much;) ) Its all bad.
um... am i the only person who has heard of a NAT? Although, this wont stop absolutly everything, it will stop most of these takeover before they even begin
It's high time that the computer stop lurking in the shadows of dusty computer desks in forgotten rarely-used bedrooms.
Really now? that sounds like the perfect place to play doom 3 =) A well lit room will just not do for such a game...takes all the scare right out of it!
Sounds like it would be a good idea to open it publicly then, it would be a shame to see it fade into obscurity just because most of the world cant understand most of the communications....Naw, that could never happen, i mean its google right?
"Do I want to be a postdoc paid $35,000 or $40,000 at age 35, with extreme uncertainty working in somebody else's lab, and maybe getting credit for my work and maybe not getting full credit? Or would I rather be an M.B.A. and making $150,000 and hiring Ph.D.'s?"'"
haha! This is exactly why im not gettin a PHD. Im gettin an undergrad in EE, then an MBA all the way! Good to know im not the only one whos figured this out.
what makes you unpatriotic is using fear to spread lies that are nothing more than an attempt to scare people into hating the current administration, or believing that their country is evil. I havnt seen F911 yet, but i have seen BFC, do some research, you will soon see the movie contains more lies than facts...and the half truthes, well i cant even count that high.
read the new book 'Michael moore hates america' or just google it, the internet has plenty of info to go around.
The only one i subscribe to is 'Nuts and Volts'. If electronics interest you at all i would strongly recommend it. It has great information on all kinds of electronics stuff, and every month it has several different projects that it walks you through. They give you schematics, pictures and all that junk. I believe this month weve got a self powered voltmeter as well as info on PCB layout (and a bunch of other stuff i dont remember.) They always have a great Q&A section, and interesting articles. It also has a sister mag called Servo that is all about robots, im not in to the whole robot thing, so i only have a few issues of that one, but it seems good if you want to really get into robots.

Bah! $2 bills? thats no protest, he should have paid in pennies.

Sure it does, just check out open office, cant get a better price than that!

Also of note, 80% of users are male and the top films purchased are sci-fi and fantasy.
Anybody else supprised that pr0n aint toppin the list?

"computer games, the next designer drug" ...uh, what about those of us who already play our games while doing our designer drug?

the technique became an important method of communication for the military that was used until the advent of the communications satellite
;)
Well, i believe this made the moon a communications satellite. but im just a nit-picker

Any advice for the poor schmuck who's going to get the blame?
