Yes, there's a lot of places where public transit just doesn't work. They have a bad system. But even in places where there is good public transit, many don't take advantage of it. Everybody thinks they have to own a car, or their life won't be complete. If governments devoted more resources towards public transit, then there would be a much better system. Currently, Public transit is seen as something for the poor, and therefore doesn't get the attention it needs. You can't just keep on piling cars onto the same roads as poplation increases along with the population density. That idea just doesn't scale well enough.
Why are people even buying cars in the first place? If you city has good public transit, you could take the bus back and forth to work each day, and rent a car for the weekends for less then the price of owning a car. $15 a day to rent a car, plus $15 a day for insurance, that's $30 a day, times 8 days for weekends in a month, and you at $240 a month. That covers insurance, and your car. You'd never have to pay for repairs, and you'd never have to worry about your car breaking down. You probably don't even need a car every weekend, so your costs go down. If you just rented a car every time you really needed to use a car, you'd probably spend a lot less. I realize that some people need to commute long distances to get to work, but there's plenty of people who don't. If you don't need your car to get back and forth to work every day, you probably don't need a car at all.
Actually, the way I see it modding has come down in recent years. First there's consoles, which allow for very little/ no modding to begin with. Then even in PC games, a lot of time they don't make the tools available to do the mods. When they do make the tools available, they are much too complicated for the average user to be able to use.
Either the bullet is actually the RFID tag, in which case I'm not sure of the aero dynamic properties of hte RFID tag, but something that small wouldn't really travel well in straight lines, and would be too light to maintain the necessary speed. If it was larger, and could carry the necessary momentum necessary to get to you from a distance, then i would surely feel a lot more painful than a mosquito bite, or you'd notice the dart sticking out of your neck.
I've tried all those supposedly fast ones. They are fast, and use very little memory. Until you try to open a KDE app in them. Once you open a KDE App, it loads up a bunch of KDE libs, and takes more memory because it has loaded its own libs, and kdes libs. If you can get by without running any KDE of Gnome apps, then the other ones work great. However, I find that usually I end up loading 1 or 2 KDE apps, meaning I might as well just run KDE.
This is usually only the case when the person buying the product isn't the person using the product. Granted this seems to happen more than it should, but it shouldn't. Why do people have such a problem admitting that they don't know something, and just asking the people who do know.
You're a little bit off there. To a company with very little data, 10K of data is large. There's nothing saying that a small company can't handle lots of data if they do it in an organized manner.
But they aren't including the fact that not only will the Revo be backwards compatible with the GC, but it will allow you to download and run games from the last 20 years of Nintendos consoles. So long as these games are reasonably priced, under $5, I think that Nintendo will probably have a big advantage over the competitors.
Although I think the PC is the best gaming platform, I switched to consoles for two reasons. 1, because continually upgrading my PC was much more expensive than having the latest console. Especially when you wait until the hype dies down before buying a console. 2, Too many problems with games that don't even run because they don't like your cd rom drive, video card, direct x version, or many other things you may have installed on your system.
I stopped playing final fantasy games around 7 or 8, once it started taking 5 minutes to do a single attack move. The game got really boring when you had to watch the same cutscene 15 times over just to kill an enemy. Has any of this changed in the more recent versions?
Did they code all their own codecs? Or do they use the standard codecs? Either way, I don't know how which application you use has any bearing on the sound quality. You can't make a badly encoded MP3 sound good.
I run a P2, 266 at home, with 256 MB of RAM. KDE 3.4 runs pretty slow. I've turned off a lot of the eye candy, but still the response time is quite slow. Windows 2000 on the other hand is quite speedy, I can't speak for windows XP, because I don't run it. The problem is, is that this isn't really a fair comparison, as the Windows 2000 UI, it more comparable to something like sawfish. Well, the look is similar, but Even straight X Windows has a better feature set. So, I could use Sawfish, but If I start up a KDE Program, then it takes forever just to start it up.
I use Horde because it comes with my hosting, and it's better than the others, neomail and squirrel mail. I still think it's pretty sub par. I think that although webmail is nice to get at your mail when you can't access it otherwise, it doesn't really compare with have a full fledged application. GMail is about as close as it gets, and that still has some short comings.
It really depends on how hard it is to use. If it's the kind of thing where you feed it the file, and it spits out a percentage of how likely it is that the image is fraudulent, then perhaps you could have a regular cop working the system. Or at least a Cop who deals with computers on a day to day basis. I don't think you'd really have to know exactly how it works to get it to work right. I'm just worried that the error rate might be a little off.
I think it's because apple is applying for a patent on something that is pretty obvious to anybody skilled in the art, and has actually been done in about 17 other places. Just check around this story for lots of examples.
You don't have to use a pen (stylus) with a palm pilot. You could, but you didn't have to. For the gestures you can use fingers, and they are not very exact. For writing you have to be a little more precise, but even a fingernail works well.
Just because nobody watches it, doesn't mean it's not a good sport. I know a guy who's really into unicycling. They get big beefed up unicycles and ride around on dirt trails, jump around, and do a bunch of really fun stuff. As a sport it's pretty good. Low cost to start, $600 gets you pretty much the best unicycle there is, and you can do it just about anywhere. It's very exciting, and very rewarding, as you can judge your success on how much you can do, compare to what others can do.
VS.Net lets you do that, You see a function you want to explore, push F12, you go right to the definition. Then you got forward and backward buttons to go back and forth to where you've been in the code. Oh, and you can mark places like a favourites list. Can't recall what they call the specific feature, but it puts a blue arrow beside the line, and it shows up in your task list. Just because you aren't aware of how to do things in VS.Net, doesn't mean it doesn't do them. And this is only in VS.Net 2002, I'm sure things have improved in the new 2005 version.
I've used both Netbeans and Eclipse on Java projects. I don't know what all the hype is about with eclipse, because I find that Netbeans is much better.
You should just buy a book and learn it yourself. Do some real projects that you can demonstrate to the interviewers if you don't have any real world experience. You can use Mono if you want, or use the VS.Net Express Edition to get started. Once you get into more complex stuff, it'll probably be better for you to get real experience with the real VS.Net IDE. It's a pretty powerful IDE, and I like it a lot. There's a few things I'd like to change, but otherwise it's pretty good.
Maybe it might happen on computers, but never on consoles. They won't even let you customize the controls. You can pick from 1 of 3 control configurations, but you can't customize them. I don't see what's so hard about customizing the controls. It's a simple mapping.
I live in canada, and as long as you don't tote your snacks in hand, and have them in some sort of backpack, then they don't seem to worry too much abou you bringing in your own snacks. They hardly ever come in to check if you are bringing your own snacks, or doing anything else you are supposed to be doing. I don't think that they really care. On the other hand, I don't see how so much really goes to the movie studios. Some theatres charge $13.50, others charge $3.50. Assuming they charge each theatre similar prices for licensing, how does the theatre only charging $3.50 make any money? or even stay afloat. I think the high prices are more due to theatres who shell out tons of money for state of the art equipment, and giant pieces of land with giant parking lots. The cheaper ones are usually found in malls, and have less advanced, but still good equipment. They only have to pay for the part of the mall they are using, usually 2 or 3 screens, don't have to worry about where people are going to park.
Do people really get that many AOL cds? I live in Canada, and when modems were "da bomb", we used to get a free floppy disk every couple of months. In the last couple years, I haven't seen one though. At least not in my mail box. They leave them around the drug store counters for people to pick up, but I don't think I've seen a CD in the mail for quite some time.

The popularity of emulators and roms sites says that there's a lot of people who still aren't bored with old nintendo games.
