But it seems to me to be on the complicated side, expecially on the asset tracking side, and not very reliable. I assume that in time, this could improve, but your clock cycles alone are not worth this sort of reward, even when not pricing music at market. I have no figures to back me up, but if you were to follow the supply vs. demand principal along its natural course, you find it a little hard to believe something like this would be self-sustining.
See, this kind of thing I think is a lot more benificial then some of the rabit anti-anti-copy thought that has been growing recently. Manufacturers should be allowed to so whatever they want with their product, and on the other side consumers should know what they are getting. No need to start spewing that DRM is evil, just allow everyone the information they need to make a good decision.
Yes, I am aware of the irony of using that case for DRM, for the information people may need to use for good judgement can be hidden using DRM. I believe it is a weak arguement though.
I LOVED the Virtual Boy! (Please don't take that the wrong way) I played it first a few years ago at tennis camp in PA...I was hooked! I never understood why it did so horribly...Maybe the seizures and headaches casued by it was a factor...
I work for a Very Large Company (Merck)..we still have many 600 series (600, 600e and 600x)...pretty much 3 out of 4 batteries I come across cause the light to blink amber. Contrast this to the much older dell latitude CP series we still have...i have seen only 3 or 4 bad dell batteries. (I deal with hundreds of laptops) In storage we have entire scores of empty 600 shells because we just don't have any batteries left for them.
Australia? Hell, those Auzzies are pretty damn earth-careful compared to most of the rest of the world, and they still have frogs and lizards and other funny looking animals entering the endangered list and exiting out the other side at a worrying rate. Parts of South America is destroying the enviroment and a much more staggering rate, and whats worse, they have no other option if they want to feed their kids.
I dont claim to be a huge database of information on this subject, but everyone else here who has taken Blaw202 might recognize the difference between lost items, misplaced items and discarded items - each has their own rights towards the owner. Trash would be discarded, and as soon as an item is discarded, it becomes public domain.
The connection between morality and legality is soely based on the usefullness of keeping social order with laws. You undercut the laws, you undercut that stability. Usually that can lead to negative results, but the final outcome is for you to decide. The results have nothing to do with morality, usually when people ok at results they are basing morals on greed or something similar. Or so I think. At least I thought. I don't know.
What I want is a button that can destroy a continent at random, preferabily back-lit.
My idea for the use of this button is to see big explosions on demand, at first just one explosion, but exterior explosions which could outline the main explosion or cause air pressure to make the main exploson create perdy pictures.
We already have Fruit roll-ups, why cant we have random giant thermonuclear weapons of mass distruction triggered by a backlit (blue) button in my control? It would be the same as making those funny designs on the roll-up stretch and warp when you pull on them, except instead of warping sugar and red dye #5 we explosively alter the landscape consisting of million of tons of earth and rock.
The backlit button is a big requirement for easy pressability and finding it in the dark for those times you wake up and can't find your wall switch and would rather get illumination from gamma rays from some random continent. But what I'm really waiting for is one that has a blue backlif button, which could double as a funny exploding trigger AND as a sign at k-mart's blue light specials. And the Batteries should be rechargeable.
Well, once I was able to breathe for 96 HOURS STRAIGHT! --- I am not kidding, I really did. I think the world record is like 128 hours...so damn close!
Just because you kill for the thrill does not make you a nutcase. The arguement could be that most people find an exhilirating thrill in the kill. Not that that is totally relivant. However, it does pose a threat to society, and those that want to maintain the status quo as it is realize that to do this it must be punished, If he (or she) doesn't give a shit about that then that is another trait that will define his or her pattern in the "random" shootings.
i mean, would'nt it be a good idea to teach the other generations how the tech generation speak?
My teachers can't use powerpoint properly, and that is just click when you want the damn slide to advance. (No! Don't press it twice! no! NOOOOO!!!!KABOOM) I don't think the teachers are there to learn 1337 to be able to grade papers, most of them have enough problems as it is.
Lets see, who do you think is a bigger name, has more marketing exposure, a bigger advertising budget, more employees, greater income, more products, more shelf exposure, higher name recognition and has been that way for many, many years?
And don't you think people who make the headlines would want to put the recognisable name first?
imagine powering your house with the excess electricity generated by your car I hate being a critic, but humbug. You have any idea how much damn electricity the average house uses up? About 6,500 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year. Even supplimenting this with your car seems kinda like filling up a pool with paper cups... feel free to correct me if I'm wrong (and im sure you will)
You remember the announcements at the end of each battlebots episode saying don't try this at home kids?
I can imagine little children cooking up bots with chainsaws and flame throwers and atomic death ray guns shoddily duct taped to shoeboxes with R/C cars underneath.
Actually, this would be SO much more fun to see!

Kind of ominous, isn't it?

Sounds like overcompensation.
It wasn't something that I believe is humorous like you seem to think. Being reactionary is the mark of the ignorant.
Not to take sides but I higly doubt World War Two was a fight of good vs. evil. Well, maybe in some movies with cool explosions.

Never mind
That TOTALLY defeats the purpose of this experiment, you hearsayer you.

Yes.

Except that the P1 might be a P2 for the pre-NT installs..but you get the point
Win 98&ME: P1 233 64 MB ram
Works fine
Win NT: P2 400 64 MB ram
Works fine
Win XP P3 700 128 MB RAM
Works fine.
Not sure where you get your data from.
Then dont buy them.
Seriously.
