You'd be suprised the kind complaint they respond to. My house used to have a very large antenna for TV(35 foot I think) because we were on the dark side of a mountain and couldn't recieve a signal from NYC. We also had a special motorized/pointable CB antenna. The guy next door, instead looking at the mountain and thinking, "hey the only reason they can a signal is because they have a giant antenna" thinks "hey they are plotting against me, and blocking my signal"
The FCC actually came and did tests, said that was silly and went home.
well that what I was thinking, maybe the track and one standard node to keep it going.
I think this is what sucks with most legal torrents for download alternatives. Most of them simply don't work becuase no one is going to be using them all day long, and in tern no one uses them becuase of that.
unfortanitly, you kind of need the antenna. Laptops that contain internal cards have an antenna that usually runs around the display just under the plasitics. Apples laptops for example, used to just have what was pretty much just a PCCARD card with antenna jack. It sat just below the standard card slot but staggered away from the edge of the case.
What would have been nice: including contact for the antenna at pin side of the cards, so the antenna could be optional. Or even just a card that sits flush but has a flexible wire antenna of some type.
Either way with all the memory and device interfaces lately I really don't think this is appropriate. Seems like it been physically reduced too far, though a standard interntal USB interfave would be nice.
ubfortunately what makes it seem os independent, is really just a mess and is probably the root of every bug and design problem in dw. I've seen dw's ftp client start corruping code, getting mixed up and writing files to the wrong site or folder and the editor interface it's self returning javascript errors causing cashes on file save. I've also seen it dump random "mm" markup durring paste and save operations. They creating a pretty good product on top of it, but i'm suppised more people don't complain about the technical issues underneth or that its slow as hell
I agree, his reasoning for using templates like this isn't the greated. But static unpdatable templating is usefull for HTML where it might not even be passing though open HTTP before being displayed. For documention, cd-roms or sites where the pages might need to be mirrored(or just used at different times) on differnt server software.
Yep it crashes. I've seen it many times. The high number of form object on slashdot's moderation has will crash it sometimes upuntil recent versions.
<i>He doesn't care. Who's going to hax0r his computer for the information on it? At worst, they'll try to stick an open relay on, but he should have a firewall anyway, since there are more attack vectors than just IE.</i>
He would if his computer stopped working, then guess who has to fix it. While a firewall is good its not going to help with this. The normal firewall set up is only going to stop in comming connections, give a user like this advanced firewall software and it will just piss him off or he's just click allow.
<i> Typeahead find is great for hyper teens whose brains work faster than their connection. No insult meant, but I'm not sure he's going to appreciate the page being scrolled faster than he can read it. He'd probably read the whole thing top-to-bottom.</i>
Sorry firefox's find system isn't just for teenyboppers. Its a very useful tool for all ages.
<i>Standards</i> Standards are important. I've into quite a few bugs that required little tricks or complete redesigns so that IE didn't screw up the page. For instance inserting empty javascript blocks on pages not even using javascript just so weird table render bugs would not appear. The fact that IE does a better job a displaying very poorly designed pages is great but forcing people to use better would be much more useful. Nonstandard code doesn't only hurt firefox. If websites are forced to conform more closely to the standards, then it will be easier to develope the gecko engine and firefox. Just as it will be easier for any brower or application to continue development, this includes tools for the disabled, browsers in cell phones as well as other embeded devices and also the applications for web development or even just content managment.
I would love for IE to be more secure (it would certainly make my job easier) but it just isn't in it's default state. And whats so wrong with just using another browser anyway?
Actually it does, but even better. 802.11 isn't just some basic physical layer replacement for copper cable. It involves both physical and data-link layers.
Not true with the people I've talked to recently, linux users obviously know what it is( and seem to be using suse, slackware or Fedora. Newbies know its not just redhat even with the trend to use Fedora. And non-users often have not even herd of redhat at but definatly Linux or Unix. Among non-users there seems to be more confision of what unix, linux and the BSD's are. I heard quite a few people who thing linux is used in MacOS X even
The intel board and chip combo hold very true I've built hundreds of them. Only a handful have ever had problems and with at least 50% of them it was other non intel hardware that was at fault. Intel 3 year warrantee on boxed boards couldn't be any simpler or quick. Their server board/chip/RAID/ chases combo is pretty decent as well. Nothing on the technical side to complain about at least.
thats pretty scary considering, the way the car industry is pushing to add more 'advanced' computers to future models. I've heard stories of high end cars having problems, image what could happen when they out 'test' software in econonomy cars.
Divorce! Seriously, just keep the damn thing and play it. If you feel the need to tell nintendo and the kiosk whats going on, go ahead. I wouldn't act like you saving the world, things of this nature are sold all over the place. Go to any major city or some electronics/computer conventions and you'll find plenty which is more more damaging to the authors.
If I see any more out there I'd let them know but maybe try to get a deal on one before they close up. I've probably already bought most of the games on there, and wouldn't even play it that much anyway. Either way it in no way affects future pachases of nintendo products.
more problems there. I've haven't seend store in a long time that would take a return without information about the customer. And some won't do a full return in cash but with store credit which again they usually need your information.
I think what the real problem is that they would be gauging your customer rating without being able to take into account how much you have puchase from them. Someone who returns every thing they've bought from a store might be a bad customer but how would you know if that was all they bought. They might have made many other puchases with the items returned only being a small percent. Sounds to me like these companies are just trying to recoupe losses or are some how atracting these bad customers. This time and money should spent on better policies, better products and better training.
Well I wish you guy's lots of luck. If you guys are successful I would defiantly be more likely to buy a DS. If i decide spend the cash start testing it once you have something to test.
I will have to post a link to you guys once I get my site back up and running (and get some traffic back.)
Some thought on your site: you might want to make the logo a little less like Nintendo's just so you they can't give you a hard time over that. You also need some more obvious information about what you guys are doing, an "about us" "about the project" just something even a tag line describing what you guys are doing.
Sound like an awesome idea to me definatly makes me want to complete my order with EBgames more. I'm very supprised that nintendo didn't partner with palm or plan on making it more of a pda them selves.
has any work actually been done yet or it just planning? what do you think nintendo's reaction will be?
I was thinking about getting one to play with at work maybe set it up lke an arcade machine.
They were still in the two malls I go to last I checked. I even asked the guy one day if the roms were legit. He said they were licensed. I said "Um Sure I bet." And continued to play excite bike for a while.

I think linksys thought a lot of things weren't significant enought to invest in with the WMLS11B.
great idea but poorly executed.
Here are some interesting display/development related bugs
It does what?
Yep it crashes. I've seen it many times. The high number of form object on slashdot's moderation has will crash it sometimes upuntil recent versions.

yeah not totally sure but I don't think dell, uses boards made by intel. Chipsets yes, boards probobly not.
If the logins are posted in such public forums, they should be even easier to detect and disable. All while still driving more visiter to thier site.
the only ones that are really winning, the lawyers.
Any one atempting to become a member with the sole intent breach privacy and sniff around should be denied on those grounds alone.
