That's exactly what I thought too, I mean, other than that I don't think they'd do that kind of thing on the official page or anything. But, check out this video: http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/pic/xbox-linux2. avi, it's 1:34 minutes long, encoding in DivX 5/mp3 and it shows him setting it up and booting up. Putting the cords in and everything. Fairly Convincing.

Gaming on the IMAX
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
For my last year of high school I went to a charter school that was housed in St. Paul's (as in Minnesota) old science museum. And lo and behold, they use to have an imax screen. The old imax theatre was transformed into the audiotorium and once a week we held gaming contests. We played all the N64 classics (goldeneye, mario kart, etc. etc.) and all the new X-box games on the huge screen. It was seriously a lot of fun.
The best though, was bringning in our own computers (the school's computers blew hard) and setting up Quake III tourney's, Counter-Strike tournmanets, TFC, and etc, on the school's network. The cool part was, if you weren't playing at any given time you could walk into the auditorium and watch the game spectator style on the huge screen.
I couldn't either until I searched for it on the web and found out who's acting in it, then searching for that actor on IMDB and looking for a similar title. The actual name of the movie is Waydowntown (one word!) and IMDB's search engine ain't smart enuf to tell the difference between 'Waydowntown' and 'Way Downtown'.
Slydell: So we just went a ahead and fixed the glitch. Lumbergh: Great. Portwood: So um, Milton has been let go? Slydell: Well just a second there, professor. We uh, we fixed the *glitch*. So he won't be receiving a paycheck anymore, so it will just work itself out naturally. Porter: We always like to avoid confrontation, whenever possible. Problem solved from your end.
That would be ridiculous, no one could claim rights to a generic word like 'hammer', I mean, that's like claiming no one can use the word 'door' or 'windows'.
Oh wait...
I don't cheer on Intel when they drop their prices because frankly they were too high to begin with. Despite the 'official' AMD cuts that happen after every Intel cut, that's merely a PR stunt, since you can get the AMD's for so much cheaper than the 'official' price. Intel's chips tend to not wander as terribly far from the 'official' price.
It's sexy, exciting and the stuff of dreams - but how, with nations lining up to annihilate each other with weapons of mass destruction, millions dying from famine, drought, disease, slavery, oppression and global warming - can we justify spending the hundreds of billions of dollars it would take just to put one or two lucky individuals on Mars' surface? We should be confronting and solving our problems in the here and now, not looking for ways for a handful of the "great and good" to run away from them.

Ummm, there was famine drought disease, slavery, and oppression when Wright brothers made their first successful flight @ Kitty Hawk, did that stop them? I'm not sure what this guy thinks we can do to change human nature... but if he has any ideas, I'm sure the UN would love to hear them.
The approximate size of the simulator is 13ft wide x 11ft long and 9ft high.
It will include every switch and panel in the 747-400
Built to accept full motion and visuals at a later date.
This is a Ten year project.
6 years to go!
Naturally it will be controlled in time by the one and only Precision Simulator

Pittsburgh Launches Large, Free, Public WiFi Network
"Pittsburgh launched an outdoor public Wi-Fi network on Monday."
OK sweet, free 802.11 access.
"The story here from cnet talks about their plan to cover 4sq miles of downtown Pittsburgh with 10Mb internet access and charge a $20/month access fee (cheap!!)."
OK even more sweetness, a 10Mb internet connection for only $20. The Wi-Fi access is free, the ethernet is $20/month.
That's a sweet idea, and the best part is, i wouldn't mind buying $10 or $20 worth of tickets. The odds that I get into space may be 1,000,000,000 to 1, but the odds that my money goes to an underfunded, underappreciated space program are 1 to 1, so either way I'm a winner.
Screw the stadium, and screw the Twins! Why should people fund a private business that makes more than enough money to buy every team a new stadium every 10 years? They're a monopoly which hides it's revenue by making the food vendors a corporate entity seperate from the baseball teams. Just like movie theatres are in the popcorn and candy business, so is the baseball monopoly in the hot dog and nachos business.
I haven't gone to a Twins game in ages, who needs them? The 'sin tax' is really ridiculous. I remember at the beginning of the budget deficit a bunch of radio pundits and editorals called for a 'fat tax' on all the junk food sold, just like there's a tax on cigarettes, beer, etc. A simple, 'fat tax' would have gotten Minnesota--where a huge portion of our taxes go to health care (can you guess how much goes to treating fat-related illnesses!?)--out of the damn budget problem in a obese man's heart beat.
Buzz Aldrin has some interesting ideas for getting to mars, again and again for relatively cheap. I actually read a little blurb in this month's popular science that got me interested. Basically you put a few 'space hotels' as the media has begun to call them in orbit around the Sun. Once you've got those puppies in orbit it makes the trip much cheaper then using rockets to get all the way to Mars and back.
I can't even connect to their shitty ass news servers, it's like they don't even want you to use it. Plus it's a self-correcting situation. You try to connect and it's slow as hell, so you don't even try. I called them up to complain and they said they would upgrade their systems but no one uses their usenet servers. I told them no one uses them because they're shitty as hell, he hung up on me.
I can't stand their usenet servers, they have shitty retention if you can even connect to them, and 75% of the time you try to opn up a newsgroup and the damn thing times out, saying you can't have more then 3 connections running at the same time. I rue the day I switched from DSL. I switched to Cable so I COULD GET massive downloads from a news server alt.binaries.vcd, alt.binaries.movies.divx, etc. Now I've got an ISP where I can get super fast downloads, but I can't find anythign I really want. Thanks alot Road Runner.
what would the effects of the creation of a kind of 'net traffic cops;' i.e. a law enforcement type of agency which monitors web traffic and fines individuals which break laws, i.e. distribute copyrighted information?
Hmmm, sounds like a violation of my 4th amendment rights:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
How would you feel about mail cops? Who open up your mail as it passes through the post office? Sounds like unreasonable search and seizure to me. Why is it that net traffic and e-mail aren't protected under the 4th?

What I find even more suprising then your recycling of a terribly old joke is that your kitchen has carpetting.

I'll stick with Google also, it indexes more interesting stuff. :^D
My fav's are: Dave Haxton, a programmer.
and
Damon Wright, business writer.

They're all real video and come in 3 diff. sizes: 28.8Kbps, 56Kbps, and 200Kbps.
This technology seems pretty promising in comparison to straight up solar panels, thanks for informing me.

Oddly enough, some people are still holding out some hope for this company that has yet to give any definitive proof of this 'perfect compression.'
If anyone has any updates they wanna post, I'd be interested to see if they're actually planning some peer review stuff in the near future.
