Sounds like a great idea. They could create it, patent it, and call it a radio. I mean, how many of you hackers out there have your amatuer radio liscence? Would it really be that hard to make one voice actuated?
Next thing you know, people will be hollowing out their X-Boxes, filling them with dirt and planting flowers.... how long till Big Bad Bill & Co. ask all the flower shops to stop producing flowers which are X-box-planter compatible. It's not that different. If I bought an X-box, I should be able to put in it what ever i want, be it MAME, be it Flowers.

I've never heard of this form of VHS which won't play in my VCR because it's been copyrighted. They never made a form of Movie reel, which couldn't be seen, while watching contact lenses, or thru any other form of glass, to ensure that people weren't video taping it.
People think that there is a large outcry because copying has been thwarted, but most of the outcry comes from people like me, who are angry, because their primary stereo [Computer/Playstation/Etc] will no longer play any CD they buy. Thus the new found desire to simply download/burn, in order to listen to the music i want to hear.
Copyright infringement hasn't ceased, nor been thwarted, it's simply gotten harder to want to buy CD's
I will never fully understand the desire, to beat someone else's 3D mark score.
I've seen LAN battle, after LAN battle, of geeks screaming over frames, and individual points. These people spend so much money that they most often can't afford, on every little component in their box, so that i can show up, with my 128 RAM, 850 Thunderbird, and Matrox Millenium G450, and Own them all at every single game we play...
There is also a secondary Simpsons reference, where Skinner, told Bart, Jimbo, Kearny, etc... that they had all won free bikes. He then proceeded to lock them in a storage closet, for the rest of Super Intendant Chalmers stay... However, if i remember correctly, in the end, Skinner was forced to buy all the kids bikes anyway.
With almost every punk kid, and teenager on the continent having a cell phone already, i wonder when people will have had enough.
Should upgrading your cell phone really be like upgrading your computer, or will people eventually realize that they're paying for all these extra features on a device they still only have so that mommy and daddy can keep track of them.....
As for the rest of the population, i'd like to know, just how many people, actually use all the fancy text messaging systems, that you're getting charged $0.04 per letter, for.
The question, of "how much money will i need so spend on my computer, to play this" is completely pointless. For the price of a Radeon 8500, or NVidia card, i can probably buy an Xbox, GameCube, or PS2, which the title, will almost be forced to come to eventually.
Save your money, keep the computers for coding, and the consoles for gaming.
In Fact, Jar-jar, will be sold to the emperor, who will beliddle him, and torture him, until he grows weary, at which point he sells Jar-jar to Jabba the Hutt.
Jabba, sends Jar-jar, for genetic testing, and we end up with a Rancor, which Jabba keeps below his palace.
In ROTJ, we see Luke horribly slay the Rancor [jarjar] and the comicbook guy (the only one who loved Jar-jar) comes out in uniform, and openly weeps for Jar-jar. Everyone else rejoices.
The End.
There is a handy little program available for pc, and palm, called PasswdGen, that one can get to devise passwords for them.
Get it here for palm, or here for PC
The program allows users to have passwords generated for left hand, right hand, both, alternating, and pronouncable passwords.
A magnificent little tool.
I think, that Blizzard should have an anti-trust lawsuit brought against them, for packaging the Battle.net connection software, in with their software, thus cripiling their competitors, and creating an online multiplayer monopoly.
You sound like Jim Carrey in the Cable guy:
"What you have just done is illegal, and in this state, if conviced, you could be fined up to $5000, or spend 6 months in a correctional facuility.............."
Of course, in the end, he was breaking the law too.

That *IS* the starfleet logo. What's more, is it appears that the entire PDF was designed to look like an LCARS presentation. Geeks will be geeks.
Suddenly coherent, and outspoken, George W. Bush, begins to act as a real president, and less like a pet monkey.
Strange, Dangerous... just tell me what kind of insurance i need!

Better still... Aibo can take pictures, so Aibo could bring you photo's of the cute brunette down the hall. Cute electronic pet indeed...
Or mounting other Aibo's, Sniffing other's rears, lifting their legs on hydrants and the like.....
