I would love to see a hack that would allow people to use the Kinect with programs like 3dMax and other 3d programs. It would be awesome to be able to download or create a 3d model and then use the kinetic to animate the models and easily make your own animated movies.
Then by your comments about Microsoft NOT actually making the Kinect, Are we to assume you make everything you claim to make? When you make dinner, do you raise the cattle? Do you grow your own wheat? Do you make your own cheese? Do you even make your own beer( I have friends that do that and its not that hard to do)?? Microsoft was at the helm the entire time this product was being developed and created. So what Steve Balmer didn't actually sit there and hand craft the molds for the plastic to be poured into to make the shell. AntiMS fanboyism at its worst.
It does not matter how many people buy it for games or whatever. What does matter is when a customer bought a PS3, they were told that it has the ability to use the other OS. And then Sony took that ability (that the customers paid for because it was a part of the package they bought.) and removed it without the customers permission.

Please list everything you have done and every place you have visited in the last week. Every place. And be prepared to do so at any time upon request. Just because its not illegal does not mean it cant be spun to be embarrassing or have otherwise unforeseen consequences. And I am sure your insurance companies wont use this information to jack up your rates. Driving in a bad neighborhood. We will have to raise your car insurance rates due to the higher risk of accidents and the higher probability that your car can be stolen. Wow it shows here all of the places you ate at. We are going to have to raise your health insurance rates. You were in what neighborhood the other day? Isn't that were your ex-girlfriend lives? I'm sure your current girlfriend will be understanding. (especially since it shows you driving through there a lot lately. Why were you late to work? I'm sure you would have no problem showing your boss a detailed report on where you were every minute of the morning on your drive to work. Not that you get paid for that time, or that its any of his damn business. But like you said if you have not done anything wrong.... Perhaps you would be OK with someone coming into your home and making a detailed list of everything you own. Including the Dollar value. And putting that information up on a webpage for every law abiding citizen to look at. While your at it Please don't forget to post the following information in your reply.... Real name. Address. Birthdate. Phone Numbers. Drivers Licence number. Bank information. Where you work. Your yearly income. Your Tax return information. Library card number. Theres more but I have to cook dinner for the kids soon so this will do for now, but others might request more information at a later date.(don't worry since we will have your phone number we'll just call you. Is 3 am ok?)
You have every right to let anyone and everyone know whatever you want to tell them about yourself. I on the other hand have every right not to let anyone know a damn thing about me if I so choose. You want to just toss your rights away, fine so be it. I wont and I am sure there are a lot of others out there who don't fall for such stupid crap.......
If you are not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to hide...Fuck you
We have to do it to protect the children...Screw the children. Its not my job to protect your kids its yours.
If you don't/do the terrorist win. Fuck you and your scare mongering. You are worse then the terrorist.
It makes my insurance rates go up.... To damn bad. I will not give up my rights to Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, just so you can save a few bucks. You want lower insurance. Vote to put people in office that will stop insurance companies from screwing you over.
Its what God would want....Let him tell me that personally. Until then go screw yourself.
I am sure people could come up with more unrelated, irrelevant, bullshit reasons we should just bend over and give up our right. I don't feel like wasting more time at this moment to counter all of them, so they will just have to deal with "FUCK YOU" as my response.
We will be able to tell if the Aliens are rednecks pretty fast. Here are some signs.... A large dead alien life form is tied to the front or back of their spaceship. If when they land, one of the landing struts ends with a concrete block. They don't land in Paris, New York, DC, or any major power center and instead land at a Nascar event. Their spaceship backfires constantly. Their spaceship has a front porch with a rocker and a fridge on it. When approached by the President of the United States, the Aliens point at the Presedents dog and ask "You gonna eat that?"
You are assuming that the aliens would be using Base 10. The reason we use base 10 is simple. We have 10 fingers. If human beings (or aliens) had 8 or 6 fingers than most likely we would be using Base 8 or Base 6. And thats assuming that the number of fingers or appendages are even and not odd. Hell, what happens if the Aliens have 100 fingers total. Or if they can polymorph their digits so that sometimes they have 6 sometimes 74. Of course this is all also assuming they do not have the recipe for Soylent green. (yummmm)
Since the prices have fallen to about $1 to $1.50 for a 25 gig Blu-Ray disk, I'm thinking they would be great for backing up data. Blu-Ray players... Ill hold off on that. I dont trust the Motion picture industry and their new toys. I would have to research it to see what kind of shackles they include with it
I saw a recipe there once for Jambalaya....One of the ingredients was Jambalaya Mix. If I had the Mix I would just follow the instructions. Claiming something is a recipe and then saying you'll still need to go buy a premade mix is a cheap ass shortcut. Crappy reporting from a crappy site. If the whole thing crashed and burned it would make me happy
10 Years, 10 Years, I Love You, 10 years. Your always 10 years away. *Sung to the tune of Tomorrow. I'll have to work on a whole song for that...I wonder if theres an App for that.
Start with a map of a mans mind and then take away reason and accountability and you will have a womans mind mapped. Just kidding, God the women here are going to kill me......err wait this is slashdot so I should be fairly safe.

This is AWESOME....... So we can just pick someone and constantly report them for copyright infringement and have their internet shut off...... Now does anyone have a list of the people that voted for this 'Magical' law???????
Isn't this post about 9 days too late. **ALERT** The Integrity of the posts on SlashDot has hit bottom, and is now showing signs it is starting to DIG. (Actually shouldn't this be on Digg)
Thats fair since Lawyers have been pretending to being human since the dawn of time. (some exceptions of course including a certain Legal Eagle from the NY area that is well know here on/.)
OK but by that logic...if you go to work for a company in say knoxville tn, that is owned by a foreign company from China. If you were to do something that is illegal in china, then china can charge you with a crime.
Because it is part of the story. The story is that US Tax payer's money is going to purchase young BOYS for the male warlords. There is no instance of the buying of young GIRLS in the story. Thus the homosexual remark. I personally don't have anything against gays.I have had gay roommates in the past. It doesn't bother me a bit. I have a simple rule. If I am not fucking someone, then it is none of my business who they are fucking. (since I'm not gay I'm not having sex with men, therefor who there are having sex with is none of my business. 2 exceptions to that 1. If they are family then that overrides the rule if it is in their best interest. 2.Sex between 2 or more consenting adults is fine..the key words being Consenting, and adults. (and if you have to be told that Baaaaa means no, I wont even talk to you.)
So what your saying is if a foreign company sets up shop in the USA and bribes a US official it would be the job of the foreign companies government to deal with it. I hate big corporation as much as the next guy (probably a lot more) but if we want companies as accountable as an individual person is then it goes both ways. If I go to a foreign land and do something that is not illegal there I shouldn't have to worry about my own government when I get back. If I do something illegal there I should have to worry about that government throwing my ass into jail or prison.
