No No No...its because of me. I JUST bought my wife an iPod Mini for $250 on Valentines Day and OF COURSE, they're going to drop the price to $200. Makes me wanna kick Mr. Jobs in the shins.
I just bought a 200gb seagate drive yesterday at CompUSA (They lured me there with a sale on 80gb Hitachi's for $40). Anyway, I bought an external enclosure for it because I just wanted to backup my machine. I installed it, partitioned it, formatted it, and then commenced the backup.
HOLY CRAP it was loud. It seriously sounded like a Dragon Fly stuck in a coffee can. This wasn't a barricuda, but it was WAY louder than my Maxtor 120 gb HD that is IN the machine. It could be that it was in an external enclosure, however, I have bought external drives and they are usually pretty quiet.
That's a good point, however, the thing with video recorders is that your selection has to be preemptive. You have to set up to record the show and wait for it to record. I think that what's cool about internet tv downloads is that you can search through files and say "hey, that looks like a good episode, I'll pull down that torrent"...Basically, instead of a "schedule and pick a channel for that time slot", Its "files and pick what you like". That just sounds so much more attractive to me then the current system.
I was thinking the same thing. I turn on my 2,3 ghz cordless phone (not sure what it is) and my signal on my wireless card drops by 50%. I would not use wireless to stream anything unless you know for sure there is no interference.
I'm in the process of building a house now. The way it works for these companies that are putting up whole neighborhoods is this:
1) They own the lot until you close
2) You sign a contract that cannot be modified basically saying you have to use their subs.
- New houses here are so in demand that if you disagree with the contract and don't sign, too bad for you, the next person will get your lot. Your stuck with their contract.
3) Their "explanation" of sole source for the wiring is that if you use a subcontractor not approved by them or you do it yourself, you risk the failure of the pre-drywall inspection if you did not wire it to code (thereby costing them money)
- The real answer, of course, is that it is cheaper for them to use their people.
One of those print/frame shops in the mall had a poster of a montage of celebrity mug shots and Bill G was one of them. Do you know what he was arrested for? The chiba? Indecent Exposure (Now that we know he was an aspiring bikini model)?
My elementary school (circa 1980) not only had a computer lab....but a computer lab full of Apple computers. Don't remember what kind though. I'm a PC guy now.
I asked myself this same question and then answered myself (schizo maybe?;))
They decrypt to their hearts content. They don't have to publish the results of the decrypted "copyrighted works" they don't own, only the ones that they do own. So if they illegaly decrypted my independant film, who's going to know right?
Well, this makes everyone's argument on this story moot as well as the "censorship" sensationalism that the story claimed was happening. I see post after post, "they should have given a choice!". Well they did. BTW, did anyone happen to catch South Park last week, where the kids had a news show but had to resort to sensationalism to gain in the school ratings? I can't tell you how many times I'm reminded of that episode everytime I assimilate some info from the media.
Thanks, that's been driving me crazy. However I did something I thought I would never do, let a site I never heard of install software on my machine. So now that I've admitted my sin, this extension is cool right? No trojans, spyware, etc?;)
I'm not sure I understand the comment about "there won't be a market for the DVD's in 3 years". Why? Because people are downloading the original untouched version of the movie and won't want the crappy CGed version that is being released? That's a big f*ing clue stick if I've ever seen one.
I've found it to be far more responsive than the touchpads I've encountered on notebooks
I bought a sleeve for my 4G iPod that covers the touch wheel. The touch wheel is still extremely responsive even with this thin cover over it. Pretty neat...
Not to get into the "my dog is the best" argument, but my Rottie is pretty damn intelligent. He knows who the bad guys are and who the good guys are. He's very friendly and I've seen him be *scary* agressive once in the 8 years that I've had him and it was justified as someone was entering my house at 4am uninvited and scared the hell out of him. Once he identified who it was, he was chill.
Now, my cousin has a black lab. Super amounts of energy, disobedient, and about as smart as a box of rocks. But its all in the way you raise them. I raised mine to be obedient. Oh and cutting his balls off at 6 months old is a good idea too.
uh...no...Nemisis was not the purged movie. It was 5. Don't remember the title..don't want to. It is now resting safely backdown into denial...aaaaaahhhh...
Kirk vs. God...KirkvsGod...kirkv sgod...noooo
reminds of the classic chris farley SNL bit: Hey Tad, Ditka vs. God...who wins?
I can't say I ever said "you dastardly kids! you foiled me again!"
Funny...But you never know when you'll find yourself compelled to dress up like a ghost to swindle some old lady only to have your plan foiled by a gang made up of a closet homo, not-so-closet lesbian, hot red head ditz, burnt-out food obsessed stoner, and a talking great dane. Crazier things have happened.

WTF is 10,00,000k ?
So that's what a "Gazillion" looks like... An email list that is a gazillion or above email addresses.
again....you're new here aren't you?

So is this the first manual to have the venerable "Hello, World" programming example? At least in C right?

So to keep the headaches at a minimum for us, what was the solution to your problem? Vid Drivers?
or how about "Join us next time! Same Jedi Time, Same Jedi Place!"
Sorry...I just had to get an engrish example...
It reminds me of some of the engrish phrases. A sentence that says nothing surrounded by randomly selecting jargon.
