The Xbox 360 has way more processing power than the original Xbox. If I can run VirtualPC on my PowerPC G4, and usably run Windows XP Pro (sandboxing), and an application or two, there's no reason that they can't simply run an emulator as a subset of the operating system. There's space on the hard disk for something like that. I realise the processor instruction set is different from the original Xbox, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the code has to be recompiled. The fun part would be detecting if the game requires the emulator on startup, and then calling it.
Way to completely evade the statement. And any network is only as secure as its hosts. You could have a cabled windows box, and a wireless PowerBook/iTablet, and still be very easily attacked, cracked, and 0wned.
WPA is a very secure wireless encryption algorithm suite. RADIUS (shared) is also very nice, but significantly more proprietary than WPA.
That is not 'they stuff to which [I] refer'. It's called Fluorinert [PDF DataSheet]. Fluroinert has a typical boiling point of about 215 degrees Celcius. 3M developed it, and this Hampton Research company apparently resells it.
It's bad enough with a water-cooled system that a leak could destroy your machine. Before I invest in a liquid-cooling system, I want to use a material that isn't going to be potentially harmful to my components. 3M does make a solution, but it costs 320 dollars per litre. I can only imagine what a liquid-metal spray would do to some of my components.
My roommate is currently bubbling over ecstatic at the very idea of your post. Congratulations. You've turned him into a babbling idiot. I only wish I had a camera.
When one is not in a city? On a trip? In an aeroplane? In a car (passenger)? And so on and so forth. Besides, I'd really rather not be tied to a wall-wart. If I'm going to be that close to an actual power suppy, I'd rather just watch the aforementioned movie/DVD on my laptop, or desktop, or television. The list goes on.
...haven't had the pleasure of trying to watch a movie on one, yet, though. I dunno, the whole portable-movie thing to me seems kinda silly, espicially when your power supply (battery) will last for only 4-5 hours. Spending half of that watching video seems a bit of a waste. This, of course, from the person who is content playing Metal Gear Ac!d until my eyeballs fall out.
The whole UMD video thing seemed kinda like a 'Hey! Great! We can do this, too!' idea, that should have been realized as being from the maybe-but-maybe-we-shouldn't dept.
The one thing that blows virtual reality completely away!
ACTUAL REALITY.
Course, I'm not sure how much space there is in that particular realm for running around and shooting zombies. Perhaps one should stick with stealing cars, and slapping hos.
You also might find some cocky little student who thinks he knows everything, will tell you so, and then when it comes time to make it happen, he solders his own thumb to your drive. Sorry, speaking from experience.
Sorry about your data loss.:-\ I would contact the manufacturer.
Chain of custody. There's no one to say that the imbribed student in question couldn't have just made up those addresses, or selected addresses of people he or she did not like.
Hopefully, 360 is not a measure in degrees of departure from the existing system. That would leave us with nothing more than an Xbox with a chrome finish. Hopefully, they've worked out the assorted design issues (huge controllers, superlarge system that doesn't really fit anywhere, horribly buggy games including KoToR, power adaptors which start house fires, incessasnt cooling issues, DVD support, projector support).
The major point that irritates me about the name is that it seems like Microsoft is trying to add a 3 to their name, to make it seem as if they've been tit-for-tat with Sony in the games market since the original PlayStation; with the advent of the PlayStation 3, Microsoft now has the Xbox 360. Who knew that game consoles would end up with sequel titles.
Actually, Puma was 10.0, and Cheetah was 10.1. And you forgot Garfield; for when they run out of groundbreaking new features to implement. Also, where's Lynx? That'll be the point-release where the only change is the addition of everyone's favorite text-only browser to the BSD subsystem.
...is suddenly in need of IT people. Too bad it will last only as long as there's capital around to support it - money out of the pockets of the customers.
There's something to be said about the usefulness (to law enforcement) of user activities to websites and such. So you can prove... what, exactly? That a person at a location visited a particular website, at a particular time.
But having to deal with time changing and readjusting my sleep cycle (which is currently horribly, horribly fucked up right now - DST really messes with college students, espicially when you have a project due) is far more troublesome than going to work in the dark and leaving in the daylight or somesuch. I'm still not sure how the system functions under an unchanged state (do I go to work in the dark or do I go to work in the light? Do I come back home in the dark or in the light?). Currently, my sleep schedule means I sleep for about 3-3.5 hours when I'm tired, which is about every 12-16 hours. If I didn't have that stupid jump that occured a few days ago, I would've been much better off.
How about we all just iterate on a system of Universal Time. You'll adjust. Lunch might just seem a little strange.
At my university, the CS department uses (primarily) Solaris 9/10 (yes, that's solaris nine-tenths, not a mix of 9 and 10 - sometimes it's called 9/10ths, though, because your login will randomly fail once out of every ten times, or so). Our IT department uses a shitty mix of Windows XP Professional, and RedHat/Fedora/Gentoo Linux. In general practice, it works out. As an IT student taking some CS classes, I do most of my work on OS X, or Slackware/Gentoo.
Question is, how close do you have to be to use it? I mean, it's got a whole bunch of applications, though it doesn't look very stealthy, other than it's size. The article(s) say that it's intended for use with ship-to-ship boardings, but nothing mentions it's actual operational range. I mean, if the thing isn't good for atleast 1500 feet (plus having enough power to make it through steel bulkheads if it has to go anyplace but topside), you might as well not use it. Also wonder how long the battery life is on that little gadget. I'm sure the US Navy thinks of them as disposable, so recharability isn't exactly priority, but with an electrical system sucking on power for both flight operations, two cameras, and an RF stream, it's got to have a nice big pair on it.

How about the fact that they get to keep your files, after the fact?
Because their programmer didn't understand how or why indices started at 0 and not 1, and that s/he could have just incremented after the fact.
I'm a student. Thankfully, ROTS (no pun intended) premieres smack dab in the middle of my finals week. Lots of free time for movie-going.

I understand that Texas is huge on the cow thing, but if your bullshit seriously walks, you might want to consider a stronger pesticide.
Little touchy today, eh boss?
When did you go? Perhaps during a time when the little-types were supposed to be asleep?

The Vulcan Cannon, many a day I remember terrorizing an enemy from across the map with that thing. Huge power requirements, though.
God I miss that game.

Next question, where can I get one and how much?
Except, this product is real, you dolt. Apple's been selling them for months.
Punctuation?
