One of those magnetic anti-theft devices was built into my dad's wallet, and never was disabled. As a result, he would beep in *every* store he entered or exited. We thought it was his PalmPilot...
On a more interesting note, would it be possible to build a personal RF "jammer" that emits strong noise on the frequincies used by these devices? That could at least keep people from tracking the tags in your clothing..
In 50 years we'll find out these things cause cancer. We'll see who's laughing then.:-P
Could it be that Sega could develop some of it's trademark games - Sonic comes to mind - for other consoles? I still want to see Sonic Vs. Mario fighting games...
With minesweeper, you have to have a starting point, so some amount of random clicking is needed to get something to work with. Once you get a few squares uncovered, though, all that is needed to win is patience. The reason many people don't do well is because they rush through and "guess", while more accomplished players recognize that each move must be painstakingly considered.
Just a second... maybe that's the point! Any encryption can be broken with sufficient random clicking.:-)
200 MB space.
6 GB transfer monthly.
Unlimited POP boxes.
You can create/delete FTP accounts, etc.
Like the guy said, I've had nothing but good experiance with their tech support. They host off of Redhat of NT, whatever you like. Of course, you get full CGI, etc.
Unfortunately, it's not dedicated hosting.
If you refer someone to the service, they credit you a month for free. This could be a good way for your group to cut costs. If you really wanna make my day, refer simer.net.
What I always hated was the fact that they needed to switch to CDs in the first place. Getting a friend set up with email, graphical web browsing, chat, etc off of a floppy was really nice.
These days, you're right - everyone has coasters. Now, if they shipped their software on ZIP disks...
Am I missing something? How do you equate "You must have your parent's permision" with a violation of free speech?
Should we allow our children to view some of the "darker" pornography as well? After all, not letting them see it violates the producer's rights to free speech, right?
Gee, shame on us for allowing parents to raise thier kids.
Don't get me wrong - I think the violence in games issue is blown way out of proportion. I just think that the parents should make the decision, not their immature kids, or the public. In a perfect world, all parents would be making sure their kids lived up to their own standards. This seems to only force parents to step up to the plate.
"This is important for us because it means that we can use a small device called a "Zapper" (like an electronic dog whistle) that produces ultrasound to get locusts to steer."
Why couldn't large emiters be placed around crop fields, steering locusts away from produce?
Ethical? No.
Lawful? Afraid so. And with good reason. Most managers would like to know if an applicant spent a year in jail for striking a co-worker, or stealing equipment. What is right is not always popular, and what is popular is not always right.
Now, if you could make them sign something to the effect of not disclosing the results of the check...
I've heard reports of some tiny schools setting up a few napster terminals in public places. The students who absolutely *must* have the newest Madonna album can go to that terminal, download it, then move it to their PCs over the LAN. Block Napster access for all other nodes on the network.
Obviously, this is far from ideal for the vast majority of colleges. But if you're not that large, it might work better than it would seem at first glance. I wish you well.
That's interesting, but it has a $599 sticker. For $600 I can pick up a very nice system at least in the 500-600 MHz range. Unless you've got a $4000 laptop, this is going to be a tad useless. Most affordable laptops could be matched or outperformed by a $600 computer.
It's about time this happened. If all pornographic sites would move to.xxx or.sex then blocking objectionable content would be simple. All it would take to keep kids away from the stuff is a switch in the browser: "Block.xxx domains."
The question that will inevitably come up is, is it wrong to force adult sites to move to a new TLD?
I knew that it would eventually get to the point where micropayment (per song) or subscription-based MP3 distribution would be instituted. I think it's the only way all parties can be satisfied. So long as they don't limit the amount of data I download, I'll pay up to $15 a month.
Consider this as well: Cam cooked this up as a free service, and changed the way many people looked at things. Imagine the potential profits of him making a business out of it! I say he deserves it.

Easy! Just wear one of those T-shirts that say "FIRST POST!" to any conferences or tech shows.
Of course, a bullet-proof vest under the shirt might be advisable, or else, well, think of it as the ultimate "troll" moderation...

I suspect the owners of that 800 number are not going to be pleased to find that it's been... um.. slashdotted.
Our bill was *how* much?
I believe that around 3500 games were made. (English only?)
:-)
I heard this while I was looking for someone with (at least nearly) every English NES rom. If anyone can send me this, please email me.

It's amazing what some sites will do to increase banner hits.
What would a mint-condition NES with ROB and games be worth these days?
To be more specific...
We pay them $19.99 a month. This gets us:
200 MB space.
6 GB transfer monthly.
Unlimited POP boxes.
You can create/delete FTP accounts, etc.

Isn't that funny? I saw this article about the time those QNX banner ads began appearing at the top of the page.
Wonder why that could be...
I keep on submitting suggested changes to the webmaster, but he never replies!

What's this conversation thing I keep hearing about?

A simple Google search found this. It has an overview of different battery technologies, as well as a few very good tips. Read it in good health.

Now, if the price drops to *$199*...
Just think:
"Just go to double U double U double U dot Slash dot dot dot dot!"
It's about time this happened. If all pornographic sites would move to .xxx or .sex then blocking objectionable content would be simple. All it would take to keep kids away from the stuff is a switch in the browser: "Block .xxx domains."
The question that will inevitably come up is, is it wrong to force adult sites to move to a new TLD?
Or it could burn down, fall over, and sink into the swamp and THEN turn over and blow up.
