man, I wish arcade games in America were as cool as they are in Japan. American audiences don't seem to enjoy the crazy peripherials and gimmickry that fills the arcades of the East. I suppose there is hope that games like DDR may inspire a new generation of arcade gamers, but I'm not one to hope like that.
I guess that's their perogative. Maybe I've been reading too much Joel Spolsky and think that there is no such thing as unmaintainable code (even though I've posted against such things in the past). Thanks man (or woman), whomever you are.
How does this affect spam? I mean, I'll agree with you about web standards and all, but you've got no argument about email. Unless you've been meaning you hate Exchange, which I really don't have any experience with, so I can't comment.
they should be embracing web standards, not supporting Mozilla. Hopefully they won't mess up the mozilla support by making it moz-specific. Mozilla is great, no doubt about it, and this is a terrific win for them, but web standards are what we should be more excited about.
In addition to the dirt cheap price of the gamecube, third parties are really starting to come around and produce the same titles as for the Xbox and PS2. For me, that was the biggest annonyance of the first year the gamecube was released.
I wonder if this is one of the impacts of the Open Source movement that no one bothered to expect? Bill Gates allegedly says that he could be put out of business by a kid working out of his garage, maybe the door swings both ways?
Sorry, it's probably not your fault, unless you're trolling...
Why is it that nearly every story about an Apple product, someone says "Well, the kernels are UNIX, so I wonder if there's gonna be a port to Linux..."? Apple won't port software unless there is incentive to do so (read $$$). They are firstly a hardware company. If you want iTunes, Apple wants you to buy a Mac--they'll settle for you buying a PC and an iPod. If you want cool products, either buy them or make your own, but please, please stop wondering if Apple will ever do anything nice for the Linux people. It's just not cost-effective at this place-and-time.
that Apple's doing something right if people think it's profitable. Maybe the big 5 are just pushing hard for other music stores to open up now that Apple has shown that it can be successful, or at least pay for itself.
Nintendo started out making cards. Then, they made arcade boxes. Then, they made consoles. Then, they made Pokemon. Then, they went back to consoles.
Sega's gone the way of Nintendo. They focus in whatever market they can make money in, as long as it's relatively consistent with the notion of being a games company.
The problem is that there is nothing wrong with that, yet everyone sees "they've changed" and says "they're dying!" when they might not be as lucrative as before--it happens.
After always looking down on those who worked with their hands I'm finding so much enjoyment doing it myself. I would have loved to have been a teenage gearhead, but I was too concerned with people's perception that I be "smart".
In short, being an insecure fool made for missing out on a lot of fun, and yes, I think gearheads and techies overlap a ton.
Sony makes some of the hardest to use remotes. All of the buttons are (pretty much) the same size, and they are really slender, but friggin tall so my average-sized hands can't access all of the buttons without moving my hands and looking down.
Sony makes OK hardware, but their remotes make me shy away from the system as a whole.
Oddly enough, the (first) PS2 remote was one of their nicer remote controls.
You should have started documenting before you started "actual work". This won't help you this time, but design the system on paper before you purchase stuff. That way, you'll have a plan set up that you can get other people up to speed with, as well as something that you simply edit when you decide that you spec'ed it wrong.
Always start with documentation.

My guess is they cut the power prior to installing the camera/reader, thus stopping the ATM camera.

and since the site is down, I can't check to see if they answer it, but why didn't they just add the features to CVS?
Not that my opinion matters at all, but I think that most people would prefer the LGPL to the GPL terms-wise. The GPL seems so restrictive.
You can use the Adobe SVG Viewer for your SVG needs, but you need to find the Beta version of 5.0 (I think that's the number).

will do anything to play minesweeper.

how many Christians don't read the New Testament (or Old, for that matter).
Old firmware caused some serious battery problems for some users. Not me though!
I'm impressed that a post managed to refer to both Siegfried, Roy, and Apple without being an "Apple is teh ghey" troll.
Good work!
Wow. Maybe they'll finally get around to fixing the clock update routine. It's been bugging me since 10.0.

only 8MB? That doesn't bode well to me for doing much more than playing games...how will this be the next Walkman again?
Let's look at this.
Nintendo started out making cards.
Then, they made arcade boxes.
Then, they made consoles.
Then, they made Pokemon.
Then, they went back to consoles.
Sega's gone the way of Nintendo. They focus in whatever market they can make money in, as long as it's relatively consistent with the notion of being a games company.
The problem is that there is nothing wrong with that, yet everyone sees "they've changed" and says "they're dying!" when they might not be as lucrative as before--it happens.
If this is true, maybe Microsoft will release Office V.X for Mac for Windows!
It's way nicer than Office XP.
I think Clicker is the real killer BlueTooth app. Apple'd do well to add this to iSync.

They've got one...it sucks. Use MPlayer instead.
