We ran into this problem. The support person didn't act like this was a known problem when I talked with them, but I'd almost bet they have a certain list of failures they just accept and setup a repair rather than haggling beyond the default questions.
Sent it back (with some pictures of the snow/gfx holes) and Nintendo apparently replaced the mainboard according to the documentation inside when I got when I got it back. Took less than a week.
Say $10 for a (new release) movie = 2 hours of entertainment. You can argue that movies are overpriced, but I think it's a good starting point. It's in the entertainment 'arena', some are good, some are bad, some are short, but so are games.
If a $10 indie game entertains me for 2 hours, I figure it's good value.
If a $60 game entertains me for at least 12 hours, then I figure it's good value.
If I thought I'd get 48 hours out of Rock Band Beatles... ok, I still wouldn't consider that.
If that doesn't work for me I just pretend I bought it "for the kids". The 6yr old is loving his Killzone 2.
It has a USB port on the back for plugging in a printer so it can act as a print server.
I had trouble getting it to work though. WinXP Driver installation did not work with the printer pluggied into the server. I had to plug the printer directly into each PC and install the printer driver. Once installed that way, I could plug the printer in the DNS323 and redirect the installed printer drivers from their USB port to a network port.
Works fine now.
I'm more than pleased with the backup capabilities though.
Let's see - vast drone-like armies of workers... corporate marauders... increased terrorism... now pictures of food instead of food. If DeNiro shows up to fix my toilet I'm moving to Canada.
Anyone sharing a desk with their neighbor in the next cube yet?
And sort of in California, I suppose. The Leftlaughed at the Governator and the Right accepted him because their Illuminati knew they could make use of his ignorance like they have with Bush.
It's obvious by reading it that the pulled article was an attempt by the elder Bush to convince the people of America that not going in the first time was a good idea after he was challenged on the decision. It's not what he really thinks.
It's a basic spin move - rather than admit that "we can't" or "we screwed up" it gives reasons why "we didn't" that sound like they make sense. They don't really believe them -they just hopw you buy them.
So, since it is crafted as face-saving, the text doesn't represent fact or opinion. To actually hold someone to a this in the political arena is kind of like cheating.
Some people compare Dark City to Matrix, but I don't think it's terribly worthy unless you are looking for a strictly visual comparison.
Unlike the Matrix people who'd like yo uto believe they thought of everything themselves (i.e. "bullet time" in 1, "car chases" in 2, and "rain" in 3) Dark City openly references it's source. Said source material makes the whole movie even more interesting once you read where the bulk of it came from.
I saw a Kubrick documentary (perhaps it was "Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures"...) which explained that he purposefully worked to get very little depth-of-field on his shots for that Movie so that it would resemble a painting. He used some sort of experimental camera, and even went to the effort of shooting from far, far away and zooming in.
I suppose by that you mean that the female character arrogantly and ignorantly intiates a series of "bad things" that the male characters must overcome ?
I just puchased one of those FireWire (or USB 2.0, I suppose) connected IDE docks for a harddrive for this very purpose. Cost me all of $65. The access rate is nearly 50 MB/s now and that's more than plenty. I have a slower machine doing the raw recording from the TV, then I unplug it and bring it to the other machine if I want to do some compressing and encoding.
120 GB from one machine to the next in about 30 seconds - hooray for sneakernet !
Does this mean they have a prototype?
I'm a bit fuzzy on how this all works - is there any rule regarding reality when you file for these patents, or is the game simply to get one so you can financially rape the people who do the real work?

Remember, this is politics, not reality.

What this is is a sort of internet mulligan.

And I manage to continue having a life. Maybe the poster has one too.
That was apparently by design.

After all, it's been proven time and time again by people here that all you need is an inking to patent something.

I have long held the belief that EVERYTHING in nature has an underlying mathematical basis. Isn't that a line from Pi?
