You get your tuner with your HDTV subscription from your satelite TV or cable provider. If you bought an "HDTV ready" monitor (ie sans tuner)... it as designed for people using cable or satelite. These are cheaper models than those included with an ATSC tuner. Once the analog transmissions stop, you may want to renew your Blockbuster account. Best wishes looking... perhaps try Google.
I think that Apple's advertising campaign is horrible. 2 guys standing and pretending to be computers really belongs in a junior high acting class. The Microsoft bashing is not really effective, either. People already know what sucks about Windows PC, but use them anyways. Windows users have accepted the "quirks" of Windows. If Windows really sucks as bad as it did 10 years, OS/2 would be the main operating system. Windows XP is a decent enough operating system that really isn't compelling enough to dump. People use Apple PCs because they like them! That is what Apple should be advertising... what is great about the new Apples. Selling your product because brand X sucks isn't really a good campaign. I buy a car because it has x, y, and z features. Not because the other car's x, y, and z features suck! Come on Apple! You don't sell iPods because the other MP3 players suck! You sell iPods because iPods are a great product.
Definately a discovery to celebrate over drinks. Where's the keg party? Better yet, break out the whiskey and let's light some cigars instead. I knew there was dark matter... why else is the night sky black with so many damn stars out there?
Been there, done that. That is what happened to the media PC. I think people who wnated to do it, did it. The rest never liked the idea in the 1st place. Next subject Slashdot!
I don't think Ethanol is "The Solution", but an important part in solving the fuel problem. Fuel has become a requirement in this mechanized society we live in. I think having the capability to use E85 or gasoline is important, as it provides flexibility that is important. Brazil is a good example of this, where drivers can use either one that happens to be cheapest. Ethanol is cleaner burner, an important consideration if one is concerned about global warming (me personally, I like things warmer).
I would like to know why isn't there an E85 Flex-fuel hybrid that comes technology. Why do we have to choose between flex fuel vehicles or hybrids? Or biodiesel/diesel hybrids?
The voice dictation is at the end. Of course, this was an add in product. Later in 1996, with OS/2 Warp version 4, it was already included. Too bad IBM doesn't sell OS/2, you'll have to buy eComstation from Serenity Systems instead.
If you stop performing personal hygiene, you will earn about one hour or more per day. With that in mind, you would then have more time to perform leisure activities such as job hunting, etc. Once you start to stink and get real funky, your employer may request you to go home and take care of yourself. Be sure to schedule that mandated time off with an interview. Tip: Shower before the interview and not after. I tell my boss my odor is a medical condition and use it to go to "medical" appointments at my convenience (just kidding). But hey, use what works best for you.
I think they go to Asian landfills wher children pry off the heavy metal with their bare hands for resale. That's why us people in California import electricity from other states, so that California remains beautiful.
Where will all those obsolete TVs go? To TV heaven? TV hell is more like it. I'm sure there will be a marklet for adapters, but a lot of people will finally fork up some money to buy a new set I'm sure.
All I need to know is which companies to buy stock in before the consumer frenzy begins!!!
If the states want to collect taxes, that's fine. However, we should be able to subtract the cost of shipping and related expenses (registered/certified mail, etc.)! I'm sure that shipping expenses and insurance for loss/damage would far exceed any meager taxation attempt. Let the mud fly!
If you ask me. CO2 is another natural resource needing to be exploited. CO2 is also a renewable resource. We need to bottle it up and use it to enhance greenhouses. Eventually we will have so many people on this planet that we will require verticle farms (recycle skyscrappers). Just like scuba divers use bootled O, we should used bottle CO2 in verticle self-contained greenhouse farms. Why spend all that money to bury it like some radioactive by product? The money it takes to bury it, can be used to bottle it... for future use.
Making a movie about Halo or Halo 2 is a waste of time. If you have ever played Halo (do you really exist in this universe) or Halo 2, you know for a fact it should be a TV series.
That's right folks, I said what should have been stated. Let's think about it. Doesn't the format of the game really make a cool series. Who wants to wait 2 to 3 years for a sequel? After all, the game will change faster than Hollywood could keep up. How would you like to wait over a year for a R vs B ? You wouldn't want to a neither do I. A movie is plain stupid. I want a new show every week. I like the new BSG (Battle Star Galactica) and don't want a movie of it, as it would suck (just like the Star Trek series are better than their movies).
Microsoft's solution to the embeded open-source internet/computer thing the author hadn't realized. Think about it for a minute. Microsoft is in business for a reason. Put your idealistic ideas in your pocket and sit on it.
I really don't care what happens in that part of the world. We all know the former USSR is not a tech center, a global market, or relevent at this time. What is important news, is North Korea or Iran accidently blowing themselves up with a nuclear device. Then we all can understand how important the non-proliferation treaty is. Can someone put some web cams in those countries? Maybe an over the border shot from a neighbor?
IBM keeps changing it's focus. The PC company wanted to stick with Microsoft Windows and look at IBM's PC business now. With OS/2, they had their own product, identity, and niche.
IBM rode the Java wave, then the Linux wave, and now they have hit the beach. Instead of Linux (which I like, incidently) they should have ported AIX to the PC platform, wrapped it in a user-friendly interface, and broadened their platform. Or, maybe they should have stuck with OS/2.
... or do you? If you really want to mentor and relieve yourself of physical pain, becoming an instructor sounds like the right thing to do. If you've been in a cubicle most of your work life, it will affect your perception of others (not being appreciated, etc.). Imagine how caged animals feel.
Now if you want to keep on coding, dress up your cubicle to positively affect your mental well being. Get up from your cube and walk around once in awhile. Instead of looking at the ground, smile and converse with fellow employees... they are not such bad people when you get involved with them. Life is more than nine to five. Perhaps mangement of software development is better suited to you (mentor). Community charity (big brother) programs can get you involved with young kids who may want to learn programming (may even cut down on script kiddies). Best wishes on your decision.
I am sure the Germans have fond memories of news footage seeing the effects of snow on an indoor water park in Russia in the not too distant past. Seeing Russians rescued in snow wearing bathing suits gives me chills.
I can understand the arguements set forth. But their are some holes in the logic.
The amount of money spent sponsoring an immigrant can be utilized sponsoring a native born citizen through scholorships and grants. Companies sponsoring locals could even tailor their education to suit the specialized needs of the company. In the old days, their was an emphasis on a general education and then the individual was trained on the job.
The author asserts that their paychecks are spent on the local economy. Fact is, so would a local-born immigrant (ie native). Then the author asserts buying foreign automobiles, because of resale value. Any vehicle that is desireable would have a high resale value... Harley Davidsons for example. Which is interesting as cheap motorcycles are the norm in Asia (along with three-wheeled Tuk-tuks).
The bottom line I see, is that we are burning the candle at both ends. The eagerness of companies to focus on the short-term will not build long-term viability. How can underpriviledged natives compete in a one-sided universe? Of course, my view is tainted by unemployment.

Funny how this seems to happen from time to time. Microsoft accidently made the Kashmir valley a part of Pakistan in a version of Windows and had trouble with India.
Is this some diabolical plan to end the world? Perhaps there is some ungodly alliance of software engineers to start the "good war"?

Reminds me of a tv show called the "Computer Chronicles" with Stewart Cheifet. Don't take my word for it, see for yourself at the Internet Archive:
