As to whether we have observed it, who knows. Maybe some celestial phenomenon has been mistaken for something it isn't, instead of being seen as a gateway from another universe.:)
This is very true... but I just bought the condo, and it was all nicely painted by the previous owner... Ah well.
This conduit of which you speak, how condusive is it to adding other devices to the TV, i.e. DVD player, Digital Terminal, Wii, etc? I guess standard cable-fishing rules would apply, but what diameter of tubing would you use to make it easier to add stuff?
I haven't bought a 360 yet (nor a Wii, nor a PS3), so I'm glad that they came out with this option. I rented a 360 once and it was *sooo* loud; if the Elite is quieter, I would gladly buy it over the original XBox.
Also, the HDMI would make the cable runs to a wall-mounted HDTV that much less ugly.
While this sounds like a good thing on the surface (the mere fact that they're paying attention to OS security is nice), I think it's bad for two reasons.
1) It ties the entire government into Windows - and on top of that, the most expensive and resource-consuming version thereof. Think of the thousands of PCs that would have to be upgraded for Vista? Now... what happens to all the old ones? (I sincerely hope that they get donated to schools or something)
2) It may prevent opensource applications from achieving any traction in the US government. Unless, of course, Microsoft is willing to give them the keys to be declared "Secure/Vista Friendly" or whatever the latest gimmick certification is. Granted, the big guns like OpenOffice and Mozilla might be able to make inroads, but smaller opensource applications might be S.O.L.
So it's nice that the issue has received consideration, but it may be a rather insidious form of consideration. And that's not a good thing.
But, then again, my users aren't exactly "power users", if you know what I mean. Give 'em a locked down desktop with email, web, and desktop publishing (OOo), and they're fine.
I disagree with your slam against phpMyAdmin. I find that it's much easier to use for quick and simple projects than something bloated and ugly like pgadmin3.
That said, pgadmin3 is a cut above MySQL Administrator. But it's all open-source, so there's always room for improvement:)

Well duh ... a WHITE hole! :)

Now you're thinking with PORTALS.
*ahem*
I mean, maybe we should just design trees that DO do that.
Oh, you have that calendar too?
Isn't this pretty much the same as asking "Can desktop apps every truly replace mainframe apps"?
There will always be room for them, and I doubt any one of the concepts will entirely supplant another.

Cool, thanks for the tips :)

Not that I have a wall-mounted HDTV yet
All in good time

The obvious answer is to run everything through a single LinkSys home office router, and then not have any firewalls on individual machines. :)
YOU'RE WRONG!!
:)
If anything, this makes it even funnier
Only 80%?

Pfft, you're very optimistic this morning.
Probably a whole lot of BJs.
X-Files said it best:

Deceive. Inveigle. Obfuscate.
Coincidentally, this is also Sony's tactic.
The thumbnail I saw of a screenshot of it looked rather creepy.
I'm holding out for Maneater 2
Wait, I know the answer to this one!!
Because it was stapled to the punk rocker's face!!!1
Finally! A material that can challenge ... Iron Man!
:)
Or not.
This is making me hard.
:P
And, by my nickname, I *am* a metal.
It works for me.

I kind of like Brak, but I also don't "get" ATHF.
On the other hand, ZIM RULES ALL!! BOW BEFORE ZIM!!
A friend of mine tried to tell the local FOX News affiliate.
They laughed him off.
Idiots.

As a Telus Mobility customer, and formerly a Telus DSL customer, I can say that they are possibly MORE fond of customer rapeage than US providers.
In fact, while they provide smartPhone services, they don't even offer a plan with unlimited data! Crazy.
More like Blame America ... 25 million americans have "pirated" a movie, according to yesterday's Slashdot headline.
This is just as stupid as the War on Drugs - don't take it to Columbia and Canada! Fix the damn problem in your own country.
