It sounds like the EEE would do everything you're asking for. [...] The EEE is stable, mature, and, most importantly, not locked into a proprietary OS.
Which is why I have faith that this will be comparable, as it, and the Asus offering also mentioned in tfs, are essentially an EEEs/Winds + capacitive multi-touch capable screen, sans keyboard.
Once they saw the Play Station 2 they jumped on that ship. And when the 360 showed its strength they announced an FF game for that.
Not quite.
They jumped to the PS (PSone now) with FFVII, a game much loved by almost all who played it. PS2 FF games weren't until FFX.
They put FFXI Online on the 360 b/c Microsoft gave them a lot of money to do so. MS wanted to start getting quality, well-known JRPG games so that they could start selling more units in Japan. By then, though, all the Japanese were already playing either on PC or PS2.
FFXIII will be the first FF game SE ever put on 360 without first giving it to Sony. That probably cost MS a lot more money to make happen, too.
Our house-rule for rolling a 1 on a skill check is that 1 = automatic -10.
This allows for sufficiently experienced characters not failing at something trivial that they'd normally be able to do in their sleep.
So, in the above case, if the person had been programming for 20 years, and rolled a 1 writing an example "Hello World" snippet in a language he's familiar with (a simple DC5 check), then he'd still end up with a roll of 10 (-10 + 20) which succeeds against the DC5.
Even writing one in an unfamiliar language (arguably +10 DC) but having a syntax reference handy (-5 DC) he'd still pass the check, just the code wouldn't be pretty.
I agree that it should be, however it is completely cost prohibitive to get a separate network run to the smart meter in everyone's home. Even running a separate network to all the utility substations would be challenging.
The smart meter is already connected to a network of hard-lines which links it to every other smart-meter in its area, as well as the substations those houses draw power from.
How cost-prohibitive is that?
And you think that wireless networks are somehow immune to the effects of Faraday cages?
No, but if you setup the source of the WiFi signal within the cage, then anywhere within said cage can get that signal.
At least he wouldn't have to worry about neighbours sniffing/stealing his internet.
If King Henry is really a time-travelling assassin, bent on affecting as much of future-history as possible in an effort to overthrow non-anglican government; then wouldn't he have killed you before you wrote that post (after reading it today, of course), thus creating a temporal paradox and destroying reality as we know it?
The only way to win is not to play? I think I've heard that somewhere before...
"The only winning move..."
The phrase, stated as you have, implies you are already playing (as presumably one plays to win), and thus have already lost.
With 15 years developing C++/.Net applications, I have run into ONE female developer that was good. Just an observation.
(emphasis mine)
Right, so about 10%.
In my 10 years of development, at most 10% of the devs I've seen walk through the doors in my company were any good, and it had nothing to do with sex.
It's a simple application of ratios. With a larger sample set (# of male programmers) you'll find a larger set of higher performing ones. The ratio of good programmers to poor programmers remains about the same.
To continue along the lines of your thinking; In 15 years, you've seen 9 poor female devs. My argument is that you've probably seen hundreds of poor male devs. By your logic, then, men are poorer programmers.
Also, based on that logic, I would lump you in with them.
11) Pizzas are mammals

They're basing it off of the online play results indicating at least 10% of the people might have been using an infringed copy. The reality is- you're going to find people committing "piracy" on a given title.
It was actually the other way around...
Sales only matched up with 10% of the registered online players.
i.e. 100,000 total units sold, approximately 1 million online (numbers not actual, used for illustrative purposes).
If you factor in that not everyone who bought the game necessarily would be playing online/uploading their stats, and that not everyone who priated the game would play online, then that means even higher incident rate of piracy.
I saw that too, it was pretty cool
IIRC he used arrays of IR LEDs around the plexiglas table (mounted in the wood in which the table was inlaid), and a standard 640x480 webcam (mounted below the table, near to the projector assembly) with the IR filter removed to detect the FTIR "touches" to the plexiglas.
The projector was a standard projector that you can buy in any shop today.

The correct question is, how many beer kegs fit in a 0.5 micrometer fridge?
The answer is None... None beer kegs fit in a 0.5 micrometer fridge.
One fits nicely in my kegerator, though.

We'd like a way to play this game on a console with bloodlines to the original, without having to resort to emulators to do so.
FF I+II GBA Cart on a NDS or DS-Lite (just not the DSi where they took out the GBA slot)
Bring it back so that we can eat it to extinction like the carrier piegon.
You mean to tell me this world has NO CARRIER??

But wouldn't Henry need backers, could it be that Z<CARRIER LOST>
Nope, it's the Spanish Inquisition...
They don't like Judeo-Christian based religions, either.

Will you throw in a case of headlight fluid for free?
No, but I've got a case of snake-oil you may be interested in...
I prefer Terminally Ill: Revenge of Helvetica
A lot of people get that one muddled up with Terminally IV: Arial Strikes Back, because they're quite similar apart from some minor details.
Personally, I found them both grotesque.
Strikes back was V;
Terminally IV was "A New Courier"
About twice as many relevant stories per day.
There, FTFY
I got to walk through that shit to school for 5 years.
Lemme guess, about 6' of it?, uphill?, both ways?

That's Real Ultimate Power
Right now, all we can do is pray.
Tossing a few virgins into the caldera probably wouldn't hurt either.
So i guess, in this case, we should feed the trolls? (to the volcano)
A data center in a silo would be almost as good. Looks like a death ray generator to me. Yeah, Canadian death ray. Pew! Pew! Pew! Eh?
That's preposterous... Everyone knows that the Canadian doomsday machine is at the top of the CN Tower.
I’m willing to be interested. You just have to tell me why I should be.
Punch-and-pie?
I'm not aware of any context in which this makes sense. Could you please provide a reference so I can read more?
Yes
No
Maybe
2 bits, or one bit with a fuzzy logic state.
Anyone know what that fried out component is in the picture on TFA?
I'm pretty sure it's Amy Winehouse
I could be wrong, though
Be careful! New moon tonight.
