If I wanted a 733mhz Celeron with 64 megs of RAM and a Geforce card and a 10 gig hard drive I'd just build one for about the same price as a modded X-box. Or even better, I'd slap in an nForce motherboard and I'd have it already with a much faster CPU and more RAM.
Mail in rebates suck. I'm don't want to wait 6 months for a $10 check when I can buy it on pricewatch.com for $10 cheaper anyway. It's funny, when you own them money it better be on time, when they owe you money it takes 6 months. It's all a scam. They could easily sell it for the after rebate price. What they're hoping is that alot of people will forget to send it in before the rebate expires and they'll get to keep the money. It's retail's way of hopefully charging more than the actual price to people who don't bother. And people who do bother get screwed up the butt.
If he's from the future, why didn't he write himself a letter telling himself that he's gonna get busted? Shouldn't a time traveler know the outcome of his trip to the past before he leaves? And if so, wouldn't the fact that he knows his plan is going to fail prevent him from going thereby preventing the letter from ever being written and thereby preventing him from knowning his plan is going to fail... oh no I've gone cross eyed.
The Khan Character was a genetically altered human who possessed superior intellect and strength. He was also a tyrant with a huge superiority complex and delusions of grandeur who tried to conquer the world. So this is a question that has been asked for decades.
Nothing is the way it use to be. Take cars for example. My car is 27 years old and has over 141k miles on it. Yet it runs great, gets awesome gas mileage and I don't expect to see it stop any time soon. Where will a brand new car be in 27 years with 141k miles? Probably a junk heap. Printer manufacturers are seeing what car manufacturers saw in the 80's. If you make them wear out quicker people are more than likely going to need a new one sooner.
"I have let serveral farts of various loudness at home and work, and some of them have a very strong dead animal odour when expelled. Does anyone know what causes that? I know that crap has a distinctive dead animal odour, but so does a range of other organic chemicals. Can any Slashdot readers with a chemistry background enlighten us as to the possible source of the smell?"
Well which one do you want? That all depends.. See if you want to play video games, then you should buy the Gameboy Advance, if you want to take pictures, you should get the camera. See cause you can't play video games on the camera, cause it's a camera, and you can only take small black and white photos on the Gameboy with the help of a Gameboy camera, cause it's a game machine and lacks the ability to take pictures on its own. So because these two devices function differently you should decide which function you would most enjoy.
This is like asking, "should I buy a hammer or a screw driver?" honestly
Just the like the duckbilled platypus - stupid thing just refuses to fall into our predefined categories. Maybe we are just discovering that we don't actually know everything!
I quite agree. We humans look at the world around us and think we have it all figured out, we think we know everything about our world with our tiny minds only grasping a fraction of what's truely around us. We only know what we can see, and we can't see everything.
This war has plenty of good reasons. Keep in mind something. The American government does not tell the everyday citizen everything that's going on. They could have gotten intelligents that Saddam had a hand in 9/11, or maybe those weopons of mass distruction that Saddam refuses to disarm are pointed right at us! We don't know, we never will know because the president knows if we knew of such danger there'd be widespread panic and riots. All we can do is trust the president's judgement and support him in his efforts to protect us and the world from a tyrant.
Not to mention the fact that that lack of meat results in a condition called Vaginitus in which the victum starts sprouting little vaginas all over his body until he becomes one big pussy!
I remember when I use to work at Best Buy back in 1998. We started selling the green IMac. They didn't sell too well, so, a sales rep from Apple came to the store to try to sell more Imacs. He didn't sell one IMac. Eventually we stopped selling them all together because Best buy refused to sell all the different colors. They only want to sell the green one.
Maybe a better example would be a radio station. We listen to songs for free on the radio, and are free to record them. Most people do record off the radio, or at least they have before. Also most people have found a friend with a CD they like and gave that friend a blank tape to make a copy with, yet these technologies are not in question. You can't return a song to the radio once it's been listened to. RIAA isn't trying to stop the sale of blank audio tapes etc. We've been copying music and listening to it for free long before file sharing existed. And even before the days of napster we were sharing it on IRC.
Does this mean every McDonalds will need its own IT guy?
I can just see a group of geeks with laptops and custom made portible PC's having their LAN party at a local McDonalds.
I work on Toshiba laptops, and whenever I look up a part number to add or replace RAM for Toshiba laptop it's almost always Kingston. I get all my part numbers off the Toshiba web site. Accessible only by authorized Toshiba Techs.
So in theory, I could build a car that runs on crap? Just pump crap into the tank, Heat it, And run the engine off the methane. And when the crap's all used up, dump it on my yard and watch it turn a lush green and watch my flowers bloom! What would they charge per gallon for cow poop at the gas pump?

Defining "Planet"

"many astronomers think the asteroid belt is where a planet tried to form, but was pulled apart before it could solidify, caught between the strong opposing tugs of Jupiter and the sun's gravity."
Some think that the asteroid belt was once a planet that exploded, and mars was its moon. These people claim this is why there are more craters on one side of mars, the side that was facing the planet, and that this explosion ruined mars' atmosphere. So in this theory, Mars changes its status from moon to planet.

Maybe you can realize what Bush means by freedom if we take you and put you in a pre-war Iraq and make you live the life they were living.

I believe he's refering to the CPU, not the graphics chip. The CPU in the Xbox is a 32-bit Pentium 3. The CPU in the N64 was a 64-bit MIPS R4300.

No, All ET needs is an umbrella, record player, and a Speak n' Spell tied to a tree with a fork stuck in it.
An Apache Virgin is hard to find huh? Does this mean that an Apache Slut is easy to find?
