And give you a hefty $70 fine. Bikes are treated as motorcycles from a law enforcment standpoint. They must abide by all the same laws. No sidewalks, no running red lights, must use turn signals etc. The reason you see so many people ON sidewalks with bikes is because police are typically lax on chasing them down in a lot of areas. But in high pedestrian traffic areas you will see lots of "bike cops" making sure bikers are on the road where they belong.
Because BMW is world renowned for being reliable?

And Microsoft is the exact opposite? Suddenly one of the worlds most reliable cars goes belly up mysteriously the same model they introduce Microsofts CE OS.. I'm sorry if you've forgotten your thinking cap today, but i'll let you off this time..
Since BMW's have been known the world over for being incredibly reliable for the past two decades and then some, and then they finally introduce a WINDOWS based OS to control their systems, and the reliability goes out the window.. Like not by a little bit, but the WHOLE FREAKIN CAR DOESNT WORK AT ALL.. Who are you more likely to believe is at fault? Incredible German engineers, or Microsoft? I don't care what fancy schmancy wordplay you want to try and say, it's Microsoft who is to blame, and they need to be dealt with. BMW honestly needs to drop Microsoft OS from their future cars, possible sue Microsoft for these current problems, and get something homebrewed. They're smart, they should have created their own OS to begin with.
Eaghh.. Even the guy who wrote the article got it wrong. If you're going to write a story about BMW's, get your facts straight. Why should I even consider what he is saying if he can't even get the simple stuff out of the way...
Doesn't sending virii fall under the Anti-Terrorism Act? Couldn't every employee be held accountable for terrorizing the world, and pretty much all be fined and locked up in jail for doing this if it were true? This would be a MAJOR National Security breech because more than likely some of the Government cpu's have this worm, which would be catestophic. Couldn't they technically get the death penalty for this?
Wouldn't this be patenting the alphabet?

I mean, it doesn't matter HOW you write the text, im sure some people write in uni-strokes as it is with a pen and paper without even knowing what it is.. How could Xerox patent a writing STYLE? Can I patent the way I make a capital P? Absurd!
Not really, no.. PCI has pretty much hit the speed limit.. To get faster, you're going to need a faster processor, and for that, you're going to need a faster bus.. You're stuck with what you have, or you're gunna have to upgrade to a 4Ghz P5 with 2Gb RAM for $100 bux..
Seriously, I have a 30GB drive now, and I have NEVER gone over 10GB with WinXP and all the greatest and latest games installed. What need do I have for a 120GB drive? I dont, I would love to buy another drive for a simple Linux install, but no way am I going to use 120GB.. 10GB is far more than enough for it.. Where can I get a 10GB drive for 5 bux?
You don't read well, it is a built in DVD\DVR drive. The R is Recordable. So yes, it will burn stuff to DVDs right from the Tivo portion. This will be an incredible device!!
Have you not followed the entire Monopoly cases? Microsoft undercuts its competitors to the point where the competition simply CANNOT sell any lower because they dont have the BILLIONS in resources to stay in business like Microsoft can, their strategy is to out live the competitor. They (MPEG) will eventually go belly up, like most of Microsofts competitors. This is standard Microsoft Monopolistic tactics. Find market to take over, then release a product far cheaper than competitor with NO INTENTION of making a profit, watch competitor unable to compete with price wars, watch competitor fold shop. Microsoft wins!
Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft make all their money on software sales. The second people can run UNLICENSED software on the system (Ie. Linux, which in turn can run Linux games, or emulators) will make it so there is little to no need to buy legit software for that console. You may think "Sure, but the percentage of people who will do this is small. So it wont hurt." - WRONG, losing ANY legit game sales hurts the developers. If you look at the XBox with it's mod chips, people can put 200GB drives in their systems, stick a Linux installation on the drive, stuff it with a NES, SNES, Genesis, GameBoy, GameBoy Advance, MAME, and god knows what else emulators on it, thats all people NEED for $200 bux! A lot of people are buying the XBox simply for that purpose, which Microsoft (And others) LOSE MONEY ON. You can blame this on bad console design, but Microsoft and Sony CAN NOT offer systems like this as cheap as we are seeing now if you want this. They will have to redo their entire marketing and we would see consoles for nearly $500 just so Sony / etc gets some sort of PROFIT by allowing people to opt out of buying their licensed software (Like the PS2 Dev kit).
They have sold over 20 million PS2's, and it is totally dominating the next-gen console market (For now.). It has the largest sell-through base of any platform for developers.
McAfee needs to add in more functionality to remove Gator programs, and other software that installs itself off the web for corporate users. Basically, they need to buy out Adaware and incorporate it within McAfee to make systems 100% clean. Virus Scanners for some reason have been very slow to scan for Gator-like programs that get installed and run in the background without the users knowledge and consent (Autoinstalls from certain sites, etc) and rack itself up as a legit virii if i've ever seen one. Users want to buy this protection, they need to offer it.
1. Program game.
2. Release as shareware.
3. $$$ PROFIT $$$
Easy as pie. Unless you're completely untalented, in which case you probably shouldn't be creating games, neh?
In 40 or so odd states it is legally allowed to be "driven" on public sidewalks in heavily congested areas where people on bikes have to actually get off and walk them or get fined.
I honestly dont understand how this got passed, but you can bet someone will be run over in one and that will be the end of it.
On so many levels. From the actual coding, to the sound design, and the artwork, every step of game production rivals movie production in one form or another.. Both are legitimate forms of art! I am totally against BANNING of games, but I don't mind if people want to ENFORCE game sales like they do with rated R movies. Michigan just passed a bill that if outlets are found selling mature games to minors, then they will get a $10,000 fine and up to 90 days in jail. It's a start. I just hope the fine is equal to selling a rated R *movie* to a minor, or I would think it would be unfair.
Talk about a hypocrit to the nth degree. That guy would set up "facts" one moment, and then rip them all down the next moment, and then go back to pretending the original "facts" were true. Granted, it was FUNNY, but none of the "facts" in that movie were even remotely true, and a lot of the blame (Ie. Returning spent bullets to K-Mart??! YAH OKAY, GOOD CALL THERE BUDDY. WHY NOT GO PROTEST FORD TO RECALL ALL THEIR CARS SO PEOPLE CANT DRINK AND DRIVE - Moron.)
They have so many genres to explore. Give it a try, and it sounds PERFECT. The record companies should be paying these guys for all the free advertising shoutcast streamers are doing. I buy so many CDs from hearing songs I like on there.

Thats the first thing I thought when I saw it.
Unlike stealing a bunch of ROMs are you are doing on your XBox.

You'll have to get your own adaptor for it though. More details on Tivos web site..

Have fun spending a few grand to get something readable. 75Hz... Man, your eyes must be bloodshot. Too much flicker.
I honestly dont understand how this got passed, but you can bet someone will be run over in one and that will be the end of it.
This should be sitting next to Visual Basic as a lot of companies usually employ both interchanably nearly. I dont even see it mentioned?!
