I like stories like this that don't portray people who play with phone systems and computers in an intrusive way as reclusive introverts. It clearly shows that these brothers are experts at social engineering. They manipulated people with such expertise and skill that the people did anything the brothers wanted. That can be the most dangerous aspect of security.
Up to 16 hours mean it can and should play right up to 16 hours, or a bit under (obviously). Over 8 hours means that you can expect 8 hours, minimum. But if the unit did 9 hours, you'd bet your ass that it was listed in the specs. Based on this, I'd expect 8 hours to be a brand new battery with a full charge, and it'd go down from there. Obviously the dell has the upper hand here.
I thought the first link was actually going to be Random Words like it said. Needless to say, I was disappointed by the appearance of some...article... I usually never read those...
It's pretty funny, if you search "sco site:google.com," the first result is this:
http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Software/Operating_Systems/Unix/SCO/
And the category listing is as follows: Boycott, Lawsuits (409)
How, exaclty, would this cause SCO to lose money and not be able to afford lawyers?
I mean, I'm not stock genius, and admittedly know little of such things, but doesn't the stock price matter to their current finances only when they are going to be selling off some stock to raise money? Also, doesn't this happen rather infrequently?
What a great way to start a monday morning, two inspiring stories about the fight against DRM. First, the Big 5 record companies are being tried because of the DRM on CDs, and now DVD-Jon having all charges dropped. A big w00t to that.
Already as early as 2002, EFN (Norway's version of EFF) has launched campaigns against the purchase of certain types of CDs as well as offering assistance in pressing charges against record producers whose CDs damage CD and/or DVD players or computers.
Are there really CDs out there that will "damage" players when played on them? By "damage" I mean something that can not or is hard to undo and that impairs the ability of the player to continue to function. I have never heard of such things, so any info would be appreciated.
I entirely agree with the cause that is being supported, but to be honest, who really thinks that this legal battle will be won by the underdog? The Big 5 record companies have practically unlimited funds, and the recent RIAA suing campaign shows that they aren't afraid to use it the most brutal way they can. What chances does a small albeit well-known group have against them?
"The idea was that by writing something together, and as people worked on it, they could iron out misunderstanding."
Sounds like the type of idea that got the idea of publicly editable wikis going. Somebody starts a basis of information, and the community smooths it out until it's comprehensive and intelligent (until the trolls get to it).
Is it just me, or does that controller look bigger then an XBOX controller? I mean, I'd enjoy the portability, but I'd like to be able to, you know, move my HANDS after playing some Zelda for a few hours.
I live in ontario, and I'd LOVE to have 15 amp breakers, but I've tested all mine, and have inquired, and they are all 10.
Heh, consider yourself lucky.:D
I have similar problems when I host large LAN parties (IE, over 40 people at a hall). What I have found is that you can work everything out pretty well, and it will reduce problems.
In Canada, the standard rating for an electrical circuit is a maximum of 10 amps. When you increase resistance in parallel, you increase the overall amperage. So, you have to watch how many computers you plug into a single circuit. It doesn't matter if it's a new SOCKET, you have to be certain that it's another CIRCUIT.
In the US of A, the standard rating is 15 amps (or so I've heard) and so you can run a few more computers. Here in Canada, I find the magic number is 7 computers (that's a random survey of computers, and LANners like to have 400 watt PSUs and tricked out boxes with cold cathodes and the like).
I hope that helps.:D
I don't know about the rest of the stuff, but as a teenage boy, let me tell you, Netnanny or any of that privacy software DOESTN't work, so don't try that. Also, don't assume the worst in kids, unless they are male, and are pubescent, in which case, the answer is YES, he WAS looking at porn.
It has been said that evolution of cells must have been impossible, because each part of the cell is necessary for the cell to live, and thus they must have all evolved at the same time, which is highly unlikely. Perhaps this is a way to test that theory?
he's didn't make a webserver mod for his GBA, cause with the roughly 3 megs of images, the slashdot effect will be like dropping a 600 tonne boulder on an ant.
This seems to be just another way in which we can see that corporate america is controlling the government. I'm sorry, but what is the definition of a democracy? It's a system of government where the majority rules. It's clear that the majority of people would WANT this Do Not Call list, but still, this kind of stuff persists.
Although arguably not the best game out there, Banjo Kazooie, IMO, had an interesting way of handling the learning curve. You couldn't DO any of the advanced moves until your character learned them! You started off with the basic jump and swim, so easy that everyone can do them, and as you go along, you learn a new move, then do a simple quest or game that utilizes it. This way players are introduced to new moves, all of the depth is there, and no initial learning curve of any sort. Brilliant!

Gee, I hate when I have to contortion myself anywhere. To even have to contort myself, grammatically correctly no less, would be even more brutal.

If you RTFA they developed their own camera for this system, and it has three seperate light capturing devices for three seperate colours.

What I really like is that you took this opportunity to flaunt your 21" display. I now have a severe case of Display Envy.
