I have a wildcard unit which can transfer roms from a cartrige. Even then there's a question of legality. Common sense says that there's nothing wrong with making copy of something I've purchased as long as there's no intent to distribute it, nintendo says there is.
It depends on what computer one's talking about. On your computer, or mine, or that of most geeks, the speed isn't going to make much difference. There's still a massive amount of older systems out there though, which haven't been upgraded simply because the owners don't feel there's enough incentive to do so. I'm heading out on a post-christmas vacation in a couple days, and am defenitly going to be taking advantage of zsnes's extra speed on the older comuter in the mornings while I wait for every one else to wake up.
and providing some links to show how really terrible the real client is to the user's computers.
Is the windows player really still that bad with the real player 10 release? It seems like not all, but most of the complaints I've heard were cleaned up there. And the linux version actually seems pretty nice.
To convert realaudio, I use
mplayer -vo null -ao pcm -hardframedrop filename.wav
To convrert the realaudio to a wav, then oggenc to convert to vorbis. Not sure how well it'd work from a live stream though, as I usually download archived episodes of radio shows.
and unless you are saying that one cannot own ideas, creative works, or anything else that isn't tangible, then you are wrong.
No, I think he's saying that ideas can't be taken. If I draw Micky Mouse, Disney isn't going to wake up and find all images of Micky gone. Which is why there's a term for what you're talking about, copyright infringement.
I've been wondering this as well. Freenet might only be as fast as one would get with a dial-up connection, but that's fast enough for a text only site such as a torrent list. Sure, it'd lack some of the modern nicities, but not getting sued for running it, and not having to pay hosting fees, would seem a nice payoff.
Oglethorpe: NO! It is the FARGATE! It is not some other kind of gate from a movie or TV show that I've never seen! Notice that it has a wheelchair and a pink mohawk? We're not getting sued!
Don't they say in that movie "Death becomes her" that at the very end of the movie at Dr. Ernest Menville's death, the narrator that he lives on through his progeny?
I hate that sentement. It's given rise to uncountable generations of children being forced into attempts to live out their parents dreams. I'd find it great if we did live on through our children, but we don't. It'd be even more correct from both a biological, and psychological standpoint to say we live on in surviving siblings. We share much more geneticly with them, and were raised in exactly the same environment. If I took a bullet to the head, it wouldn't give me much comfort to know I had a brother as 'backup' though. Ideas of religious afterlife aside, when you're dead I don't see one living on as anything. You're only living on in the sense that the easter bunny is living on.
Off the top of my head, KolourPaint comes to mind. Not quite there though, as I think it lacks layers, at the very least. What I'm trying, and not having much luck at, to remember is a story from a couple months ago here. It linked to a QT application pretty similar to paint shop pro - but which I can't for the life of me recall the name of. Anyone?
For some reason I've been unable to get spellbound working since firefox 1.0, on debian unstable. I noticed complaints of linux problems on the front page, followed the linux instructions on the install page, and it never seems to be able to find the installed english dictionary.
You have no business going to a doctor and telling him/her what drug you want to take to cure what ailes you
It's my body, I think I do in fact have a right to decide what's going to go into it. And you're seriously overestimating most doctors grasp of pharmacology. It's just one aspect of many, many, things they have to attempt to keep up with. It's not that difficult for someone with even a moderate background in the area who has out of interest in their condition spent time druging through databases to know more about a particular drug, or class of drugs, than a gp.
There's young folk in this country right now who think we are worse than Nazi Germany. They're mentally ill.
What do you expect? For many young people it might as well be Nazi Germany. In most parts of America getting caught with even small amounts of Marijuana or Mushrooms can land significant jail time. Getting caught growing either and one might as well be dead for the life they're going to have once they get out of jail. That also means no police protection, and having those same police constantly be making attempts to hunt them down. And you think it's strange that young people are paranoid? Or that they don't trust a government which is activly trying to imprison any of them showing much independant thought?
All this prestige that surrounds the Oscars, Grammies Emmys Etc is in my humble opinion dumb.
Agreed. I've never understood why anyone not directly a part of these shows would even care. I might get a 'really' good hamburger one day. But I'm not going to run to the back of the shop and beg to hear a short speech by the people who made it, nor come in with baited breath days later to see if they've been voted hamburger maker of the year.
I suspect a lot of it just comes down to our societies emphasis on everything needing to be about groups instead of individuals. People have to look to the side, make sure that others have given a thumbs up to something, and only 'then' can they feel comfortable having a prefrence for it.
I can verify that it's pretty close, at least in the theaters I went to. Before I gave up on theaters, unless I was trying to seem 'not crazy' for the sake of a girl I'd usually go in about 20 minutes late. Even then would often catch a bit of commercial. Or trailer, whatever the kids are calling movie comercials these days.
Something which really surprised me was how painful it is for even Canadians to get past the border. I know there's worries about terrorists sneaking in, but the Americans at the border are sometimes just insane about letting in even Canadians with mounds of identification. I've heard they're even ripping up peoples cars on a random basis now to search for drugs, or oranges, or whatever it is they're so affraid of.
Eh, I think we all know it's going to be Egwene. Egwene, taking bath after bath, ignorent of the source of her problems even after a giant magic sign decends from the heavens pointing with glowing arrow at it.
Just wanted to give you a quick thanks for even thinking about something like this. I've been wanting to learn American Sign Language for a while now, but wasn't able to find much on the internet. Even books have been a bit of a hit or miss thing that seems more often than not to fit in the miss catagory for my learning style.
I can't say I'm too surprised. I imagine that if I had a calculator around me for large chunks of my time as a kid my math would have suffered when it was taken away as well. I also have to wonder if the kids would have done better on the reading exams if it'd been done with the medium they used most for reading, a brightly lit screen instead of paper. I read most of my novels on a backlit PDA, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to find myself scored lower reading from paper at this point. No more than I'd be surprised to find the reverse from someone who only had brief exposure to reading from backlit screens.

Heck, there's even multiple dreamcast ports, and I've got it installed on my pda as well.

Don't be too hard, or easy as the case may be, on asia. They had their share of people questing for elixers of imortality as well.

I had an old gamepad around here that windowsXP didn't like. So, is windows ready for the desktop?
I don't understand why it's so difficult for the OSS community to just get the point -- some people don't want to play in your sandbox.
You think that's bad? Try writing a linux/mac program and refusing to let it run on windows.

My thoughts exactly. Wooo, I can borrow books about farming, the rapture, and the book of mormon. I'll stick to 'borrowing' from netflix.

Right, I also use Safari, which is a Gecko browser.
Safari uses a tweaked version of the rendering engine from konqueror, not gecko.
