Doesn't nintendo have a pantent concerning running an emulator on a console. Oh wait, Sony isn't using the patent, because they're running it on a handheld. Which is sufficiently different since Nintendo was granted the patent, and emulators have been around for ages.
I think that as far as sony is concerned, you'll probably have to pay. As I understand it, it's possible to play pirated stuff on the PSP. Maybe someone could design an emulator to play PS1, and then you could just put the games on flash memory.
I'm thinking of buying a new computer, and the only one of those specs it's likely to fullfill is the 1GB of Ram. The OS won't even run as it's intended on the Sub $1000 (CDN) dells since they all have crappy intel integrated graphics. And how do they ever hope to run this OS on laptops. You could turn off all the eyecandy, but then what's the point of the new OS? More DRM?
The guy charging $12 per ticket is making at least $7 Gross more per ticket. I'm sure there's a flat rate per person, and it's not based on a percentage of the ticket cost. Otherwise, you could just charge $0, or $1 of some measely fee, and just pack the theatre full for every showing, and make more money on concessions. You might as well fill up the theatre every time, because empty theatres don't sell concessions. What I think it is, is the cost of the giant multiplex, the building, the land, the land for the parking lot. The cheaper ones just rent a piece of land in a high traffic area like a mall, and have much less operating costs.
I looked at the wikipedia article, and didn't see any dates (except for the airings of the episodes) at first glance, so I just gave up and went with what I thought was right.
Yeah, they do the same thing with WWF (I refuse to call it WWE) in Canada. I've never actually been to see WWF in theatre, but I imagine the crowd is quite loud and spirited. I would expect it to be. Just because it's in a cinema doesn't mean it has to be quiet. It just usually is that way, because a lot of movies are reliant on dialog, and missing out can make you lose the store. I don't imagine people cared very much if others were quiet during the silent movie era.
I was pretty sure star trek took place around the year 2400. If so, I think you have a while to wait for your holodeck. Cue the Trekkies correcting me on that date.
Please explain why one theatre in my city charges $5 for a movie, and the other charges $12. They both play the same movies, they are both owned by big corporations, and as far as I'm concerned the quality is about the same. The super-duper multiplex is the one charging high prices, while the one with only 3 screens charges less. I guess movies don't scale well.
I usually just bring in my own food. I haven't ever been told I couldn't and as long as you don't bring food that disrupts the other patrons (chips make lots of noise, bag and eating) I don't think they really care.
Make it a powerpoint presentation. Anything more will make them think it's closer to being done than it actually is. If they see something in a web browser that looks like the final product, even if it's just 10 static pages will make them ask why it isn't live already. It sounds like the managers don't understand the technology, and wouldn't understand the meaning of prototype.
Who cares if it wasn't standard HTML when the company name wasn't even spelled right. If it was straight ascii it probably would have been better than spelling the company name wrong. And blue on orange? does this guy have no color sense?
This is where reference frames come into play. If you have a ferris wheel, then we say the wheel is spinning, but how do we know that the wheel isn't staying still, and the earth/structure-holding-it-up is rotating around the wheel. We always have to have a reference point when talking about motion. All you have to have for spinning to create a "force" (real or not) is for the object to be spinning relative to a stationary reference frame. The earth is stationary as far as the ferris wheel is concerned.
I've always had a love for wordperfect 5.1. Probably the best word processor that ever existed. Maybe wordperfect 6, as long as you didn't run it in graphical mode. It was the best thing for actually getting the job done. Lately, I see people spending more time trying to get formats just right, and pick the right fonts than actually typing the document. And all that time searching through menus is a big waste of time. Everything on wordperfect could be done with key combinations. Which once you learned them were much faster than using a menu system, with or without a mouse.
But if you take away the Aero Glass interface, then you really don't have a new operating system. They took out everything else (winFS, Monad, etc.), I think Aero Glass is the only thing left.
I somehow missed out on bomberman for NES and SuperNES, and then when we got a gamecube my girlfriend told me we had to get Bomberman. We got Bomberman Generations. One of the best games I own.
But surely if you can afford $400 gaming system, plus another 1 or 2 $50 controllers, plus $x00 for a TV that actually makes a difference with xbox 360, then you could certainly afford 1 or 2 $60 games. Your argument makes no sense, Only people with lots of money can buy the xbox 360, but people with lots of money can't afford games.
Not on geocities, but on may other hosting companies it does. GoDaddy.com will give you 5GB of space, 250 GB of transfer, 10 MySql data bases, Forums, Blogging, Photo Galleries, php, and a bunch of other stuff for 3.95 a month. Cheaper if you pay for 12 months at once.
If you think babies can't learn language before 1, you should check out Baby Signs. Babies can learn simple sign language as early as 8 months. Just because they don't have the necessary muscle control to speak, doesn't mean they don't understand language.
But Google already pays for their bandwidth, and so does the End User (person browsing the web). What they want to do is set up toll-bridges in the middle so that you have to pay not only for the stuff that leaves your servers, but also for the entire network it travels over. Even though Google or the end user has no control where the routers send the information in between. I would hate for Verizon to slow down traffic to Google, and then find out that my access is slowed down because the traffic is routed through verizon even though they aren't my provider.
It seems like technological feats happened much quicker in the past. The building of the Pyramids, The Great wall of china, Cross continental railroads. We can't even build a Secure OS, or a laptop that doesn't toast your lap.

whatever happened to simulating gravity by having the spaceship rotate. Seems like it would be a lot easier. Reminds me of the pen/pencil space story.
Not sure how useful Ethereal would be for everyone, but I know i've found it useful in debugging network issues.

You could just type an email, and save it in your drafts, email it to yourself, and then if you want it in word/openoffice, then just copy and paste.
Where Writely. I tried it out and it's pretty good. As far as web based word processors go. Seems to have a lot of features that AjaxWrite is missing.

You couldn't test adobe, but you could test some other piece of software. Maybe apache. See which OS can handle the most requests.
