not even that we have social security numbers. that was originally a national ID. coruse its not photo or anything. we also have passports... what the retinal scans are going to try to do is thwart boot leg IDs
They figure since its got a complex retinal scan on it will be harder to copy. the problem is that most peoples eyes look different at different times of the day not to mention if you are tired/stoned/drunk etc etc
Scariest part is I used to lizten to the Z-Morning Zoo. I see your point tho... certain FCC restrictions shouldn't apply to inet radiostations. hell most stations aren't allowed to curse... but k-ROCK in NYC is. they can say shit and fuck (some songs blur it out a bit but others don't) but they can't say Tits in the same song. (wrong way sublime) look at opie and anthony. They cannot say Penis even in a medical sense... but Dr Laura can.
Radio censorship is fucking bullshit. It makes no sense... look over in europe(I will use ireland for this example) they curse ALL over the spectrum. The two times I have been there (a combined 2.5 weeks) I heard so many people say 'fuck' on the radio... and I LOVED IT!
They also did that becaseu well MAY-DAY is a distress call. I think there are still FCC regulations on it... kinda like shouting FIRE in a crowded movie theater... but what happens when you shout MOVIE in a crowded firehouse?
isn't this what the CARP bill wants to do? Basically they are not making a stand they are folding. what I would do is maintain service but play ANYTHING THEY WANTED TO! or even better after the CARP bill shuts em down continue to play music even though they are shut down.
actually most places use paypal because its easy and free and secure. if they wanted to accept credit cards on their site they would need an SSL server. and many other things. probably need to make a new server just for the user database. so its cheaper for them to use paypal. or money orders.
Most scientests believe that if an alien race is out ther(I personally think there is) they would probably be using a setup different than what we could understand. so basically the SETI@HOME setup makes a nice screen saver and thats all. With all the people using it they have logged craploads of years(I haven't checking a while so I don't want to give a false ammount) and yet we still don't have ET knocking on our doors. Does using SETI@HOME actually DO anything besides use big words and pretty colours? My personal belief is no it doesent.
This has prolly been said before but if they would STOP raising cd prices people would stop downloading them from one year ago cd prices went up a few bucks. so cds that used to be 16 are not 20 by me. thats insane! I am not going to pay 20 bucks for 30 minutes of music.(yeah not all bands do that but some do) I used to buy cds. back when they were around 15 bucks a disk. thats semi reasonable. for the same price of ONE cd now I can feed a family of 4 at mcdonalds. or I can get a 20oz steak and outback steakhouse. to me thats a better value.
except in hey you pikachu there wasn't voice recognition either. basically it saw how loud you were talking and if you talked too loud pikachu got pissed. kinda like seaman. interesting game but you could say 'do you want me to drop kick the dreamcast' in a nice voice and it would get a good response. On a side note... this also works with labradors... you could say 'I am going to kick you in the head and stomp on your tail' in a nice googly eyed type voice and they would love you for ever...
I agree hes not an innocent kid... maybe the first time he coulda gotten away with that. but not after repeating it. thats almost like saying 'I killed 2 ppl then I went out and killed the judge and jury in my case but I am still innocent.'
I agree the sega channel was interesting... one of the first cable based networks. too bad it failed in the end... just not enough support damnit! I bet the first show on G4 is about that fong guy who played quake... you know a 'where are they now' Dennis(I think thats his first name) Fong today lives with his parents in their surbaban home... even though he is 30 years old and has no job. He expected the money and 'ho's' to come rolling in after beating all in a quake tournment. After having an everCrack addiction however his life was nearly cutshort by losing his charecter in the dirty wastes.
Whats next downloading real player and having it search for ALL other players and deleting them. this reminds me of skript kiddies loading trojans onto your system and deleting things. and why does a company think just cause its in their EULA its legal?
The problem with furb porogramming is well its hard as hell to do. the chips are encased in an epoxy ood that if you try to disolve you completly destroy the chip. of course Tiger did this so no one could steal their idea for an annoying peice of bantha dung... I do like th idea for thedevil furbys though...
better watch out... you might not be as head strong as you like... but now you can become the head of a major corperation... ah Austin powers quotes... god love them.
actualy no need to go to the strip. they got slot machines in the airports. hell if they could they would chuck em on the planes.

Heh then when the microwave beams miss you will have to place your Fire engine markers near the fire and your police markers near the rioters. oh wait that was sim city 2000.... Never mind.
I was only siteing one example... well the most recent jumping... my local fox cuts out the titles tho... they go opening sequence right to a commercial. it bites... cause most of the titles are nifty and full of in jokes.

In a serious discussion of Godzilla please do not mention 'Deanzilla' as it does not fit into the Godzilla lore.
On a side note... Godzilla 2000 or even Godzilla 1954 could probably slaughter Deanzilla very quickly...
Even worse... GTA: Camden... atleast in Jersey city you can easily get to NYC...
....in Bed.

how can a monochrome monitor be SVGA? its only 2 color where as SVGA is millions.
