To claim that people who see racism in anything and everything, like King Kong, is due to their own racism is not wrong. If you look hard enough, you can find racism in anything if you are determined to see it.
Cosell was informed, and he did apologize. As I recall, he was very hurt by the implication that he was a racist. IIRC, he pushed for black athletes in modern sports and believed his character demonstrated that he wasn't racist, but that didn't stop accusations.
How old was that slave. The Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 and the Thirteenth Amendment of 1865 ended slavery in America. For the record, that was 140 years and 20 days ago.
Howard Cosell was not a racist. He used to call lots of small, quick players "monkeys", including white players. (Don't quote me on this, I remember hearing at one point he used to refer to his own children and grandchildren as "monkeys" as well.) Further, Cosell didn't even understand why what he said could be considered inapropriate at first. Blatant racism - hardly. The trouble is that true racists hear something and then decide that the person is a racist based upon themselves.
This reminds me of the South Park episode about the flag, with the black figure hung and a bunch of white figures around the black figure. The boys don't see anything wrong with it because they don't see white people hanging a black guy, they see 4 guys hanging another guy. Chef sees it as blatant racism. Racism is in the eye of the beholder.
I took King Kong to be a movie about capturing a giant ape. If you see racism in the pairing of Planet of the Apes and MLK, or in King Kong, perhaps you should take a look in the mirror, because the real racist may be closer than you think.
If you happen to be using a cable company supplied dual-tuner HD capable DVR from Motorola (Comcast uses these), the 30-second skip hack takes about 30 seconds to set up. Your description sounds like the Motorola DVR that I have.
All of the information I could find says an IBM 62PC "Piccolo" is a 64.5MB 8" rigid disk drive featuring six disks produced in 1979. It is mentioned as the first rigid disk drive, but nowhere do I see information about a transparent material, or even a picture.
A used 62PC can be had for about $150 according to Froogle, and if it is in fact transparent, I wouldn't mind having one to tinker with.
The theatre phenomenon is a good comparison to the SUV phenomenon. If there were many people in a crowded theatre, and everyone stood up to get a better view, there would be people that could see better, tall people (especially long legs). I'm 6'1", and whenever the crowd rises at a baseball game, my ability to see the game usually improves dramatically, unless of course there happens to be a really tall guy in front of me. I'd say I have about a 85% chance of a better view than seated though.
Likewise, not everyone can afford heavier cars, trucks, and SUVs, and environmentalist types wouldn't buy them even if they could. Some people also have their hearts set on cars. SUVs have been on the market for years, and not everyone has gone out and gotten bigger vehicles. Your comparison is good, but not for the intended reasons.
Not everyone buys a car for the environment or for safety reasons. Some people buy cars for utility (holding a lot of stuff or people in an SUV) or because they just plain like them better.
The first thing you need to learn is that blinkers/indicators/turn-signals are worthless. You can't rely on them even if someone is using them. As soon as you do, you get yourself into trouble.
Every time my mom goes to buy a computer she always tries to make sure it has a "Pentenium" intel inside, otherwise it's no good. Don't doubt the power of good marketing. That may be why AMD isn't trouncing intel considering they have better chips in nearly every possible way, including price.
I help run a consulting company, who do we have to pay to get security clearances. Can we get them even? I have been unable to find much information at all on the process.
My question is this, how does one get a security clearance? I live right outside of DC, 15 minutes from the NSA, and I have yet to get a straight answer as to how to get one. It seems that the majority of the tech jobs in this area require people that already have an ACTIVE security clearance.
What software are you using to perform the backup. Last time I checked (well over a year ago) it still was not possible to read and copy disks without downloading files from the xbox, then using GDFIMAGE to create the ISO. You could use UDF, but the end result could be any number of bad things. If you are doing direct copies, how are you dealing with the media checks?
As I recall, it has always been possible to create a backup of a backup.
You may be correct, but the drive is still different than a PC DVD Drive. A couple years ago, I replaced the xbox dvd drive with a pc dvd drive because mine was having trouble reading disks.
The pc drive had to be flashed and the motor had to be rotated 180 degrees to get it to read originals. I remembered moving the motor, I'm sure that's where the backwards bit came from. Here are directions. It is not as simple as putting a disk into a pc dvd drive and hitting copy.
You do realize it's MUCH more complex than that. With the original Xbox, disc copies were streamed from the Xbox to a PC because the Xbox disc drive spins backwards.
I believe to get disk images they've written custom firmware for a DVD drive to make ripping possible. Bottom line, getting an image is not trivial. Step one: know what you're talking about.
So I guess the United States lost all of the credibility gained in saving Europe multiple times by invading, of all things, Iraq. We should have let Europe totally fall to the Germans.
The Ricochet service was well ahead of its time. I was able to get about a 512 kilobit connection reliably in my house from the service a few years before I could get either DSL or cable modem service. Still couldn't get DSL or cable internet until well after Ricochet went under.
The only problem with Ricochet is that I am almost certain I was the only person in my neighborhood that even new the service existed.
A father once asked his son what he was going to do with a movie theater he had purchased. The son told him he was going to put new coverings on the seats. The father told the son the first thing he needs to put on the seats is assholes.
Metricom wasn't putting enough assholes on the seats. They were also overdelivering for what they were advertising, which as I recall was 128 down or so.
I'm male, and like almost all of you, I HATE g4. I actually find watching that channel to be mildly insulting (to me) and highly stereotypical. 43% of gamers are female, and only about 35% are under 18. (http://www.theesa.com/facts/gamer_data.php) The dialog is mildly retarded, who exactly are they trying to appeal to, maybe they never checked out the demographics. Whoever is running that network needs to go watch every episode of The Screen Savers and Call for Help ever made, apply that formula to their video game shows, and stop dicking around, it's not funny and everyone (I hope) hates it.

Could you elaborate on this a bit.

Money spent on advertising is never a waste. You can have the best super gaming network in the world but if nobody knows about it, it doesn't exist.

I predict it will never make it out of beta.
Goverment tracking and oversight in socialist societies must be seen as a good thing. That and 30% unemployment.
