I looked over the RSS you can use... I was quite happy to see that one "news company" included images into their RSS Feed. On my personal site I use MSNBC right now, and after looking over CNN's, MSNBC, etc etc Google is the only one nice enough to include nice little images into their RSS Feed. Nice:)
So Robot pets eh? I personally own 4 parrots. Now, how on God's green Earth is a Robot supposed to mimic the antics I see on a daily basis that I see in my birds? Now, the birds honking, screaming, talking, coming up with their own sentences, being fluffy, playing in water and stealing my food... can't be replaced by a metal pet that attempts to honk and learn to talk like my birds... I mean, how could I give up a pet that tells ME to goto sleep every night for a robot?!
While I am a Star Trek fan, I am also someone who knows when to let something die. I understand that this is Fan Fiction and that from what I hear it is pretty good, but its not Star Trek... I think they should like Star Trek just go into intensive care for about 10 years before wanting to see new Trek like entertainment...::sighs::
Personally, I do not think that Apple cares how much switching to Intel will cost in the short term. In the long term, they will be able to lower costs and offer their products to a larger consumer base so that they may increase sales. Already, with switching to Intel, they have become more mainstream for the coming shopping seasons, and years. Plus, as the article states, the IBM Processors were power hungry, and created wayyyy to much heat, much like the AMD processors on the market. Intel is definately a good choice for apple in the long run.
Reading this brings up bad memories of working at Best Buy During college. However, while I am happy to see a smaller company like AMD make a dent in the PC market, I have to say, I would still never buy an AMD based system. I have had AMD based systems in the past... Issues that I have had included overheating and missing bench marks, so I switched to Intel and have never had an issue with my P4 processor. And now that Intel is being put into the new Macs, I think we will see Intel take the lead again this year with the AMD users grumbling that they are in the minority of new PCs again. Either way I personally don't care, But I would prefer an Intel processor over AMD just because of sheer quality.
When I was in College, I had a lot of first hand experience with this. I made quite a bit of money doing other people's homework, coding their projects, doing pretty much all their school work. The end result: I have 1.5 years out of college, I am a senior developer because of the experience I gained by doing so much programming in school... and my friends from college... well... Last I knew most were in Retail, or very low end support jobs because they did not learn... their loss, my gain:)
Seeing things like this in the news every so often makes me wonder how much some of the Domains I own would be worth like ups-sux.com heh I hate UPS. But at least someone is making a killing off the internet.
In a time of war, the President has such powers as to suspend the need to goto court for such activities. And yes, we are at work. In a joint resolution was passed after 9/11/01 to give the president the power to wage war against the terrorists. But why should we care even if we do wire tap such people? Chances are: 1. They are not US Citizens and NOT entitled to the rights under our constitution for criminal punishment etc and 2. They want to kill us. Why fight that? Do you want to give these people the right to kill us, plan in the dark and destroy more lives, and more of our cities? The only reason why the Democrats are flipping out over this is because they aren't doing it, they aren't in charge and they can;t take the credit for freeing Afganistan Iraq, and Hopefully soon, North Korea and Iran.
Personally, as a republican, I feel that this is complete and utter garbage that only the ACLU can come up with. The president has the duty of protecting the Citizens of the United States against all Enemies Foreign AND yes AND domestic. Which is exactly what he is doing. By wire tapping terrorist phone calls, not only is he doing his job, but hs is doing a damn fine job of it. I know you all will mark this as trolling, but I feel the ACLU is overstepping is bounds, which it needs to learn quickly does not include dictating national security policy.
The article on Cnet isn't right... I live in the Albany area, and I have gotten Ethanol gas around here... and I didn't have to go to Canada to get it! Oh well.
Now, I think this is awesome technology... However, as people said... what about Klingon? No really, my question is, when will we be able to have universal translators implanted in our ear so that anyone speaking anything can be translated into your native language? Now wouldn't THAT be nifty? Klingon/Cardassian/Romulan included of course. Maybe even elven.
I saw this article on space.com a few days ago. Now that we are able to spot white dwarf stars that are the size of earth in Detail, I am hoping that SOON we will be able to directly observe rocky worlds that are the size of this planet. While the hubble is a small telescope, it would be interesting to see telescopes put into space that are say... the size of Subaru Telescope on Mauna Kea (I was there a few weeks ago, the observatories are... well... awesome!).
Anyway, with knowing that there are over 100 star systems out there with planets that we have found, I hope we find something much like our own soon. I know they exist, we can't be it...
Seems that this new form of storage is rather nifty. But kinda slow at the same time. For mass storage I can see how this can be used in almost any application unless you want it done instantly.
My question is: Where are isolinear optical chips?::stares off into space::
I am rather happy the US gets to keep control over the internet. The last thing we would need is for some other European Country or Asian Country taking control and screwing things up. Even if they DO threaten to create their own DNS System etc etc etc, they won't. They would alienate themselves and be like:
"Look we have our own Internet system, what you gonna do now, US?!"
"We simply won't update to allow you access to the REAL Internet, mawahahaha!"
While I enjoy the FPS and the attmpts at RPGs like Galaxies and WoW, I still play gemstone IV because... well... You get more out of it. You use your imagination, and you can::gasps:: really roleplay. Unlike the D&D games I used to play here in Albany, where roleplay consisted of the DM giving all the awesome stuff to his wife, and people acting like morons around the table.
Gemstone is BY FAR the best MUD out there but I love them all anyway. I am glad the genre is staying alive. Even if I do pay $50 a month for text:)
Wasn't this duped from the other day? Even so I didn't get a chance to comment on it... so...
While I do read most EULAs that I get with my software, software like this that has no purpose on my machine is something I want to have removed. What gives them the right to say "While this has been installed on your machine (probably without your consent), you cannot have anything remove it from you system.
I picture a small bald guy sitting in the background rubbing his hands together and cackling madly thinking he will get away with this. If you intend on breaking the security on my system, damn straight I will find a way to remove it. Stop whining about how your EULA supposedly gives you legal rights to keylog people. Blah.
Sounds like a good business model, but will I be able to put said movies onto a DVD and watch them on my TV? That would be the most important feature, if it does not have that, then no I would continue to purchase normal DVDs.
Well I know what you guys are saying (all the above replies) However, saying something like, "I am having an issue with blah blah blah any of you free or know about it?" The whole ask to ask can be annoying I know. But if you put relavant info in there, why still freak out? I dunno I have been using IRC for years and still do not understand 90% of the people on there. Heh
Developers help eachother on IRC? Seems like everytime I go on there with weird Java, JSP, ASP, Oracle MSSQL questions I always get read the riot act about how "Don't ask to ask" Guess don't be polite... and get treated like a complete idiot for asking about the weird things I come across here at work.
IRC is great to share info with random people and learn random stuff... But I would always recommend a Book over IRC... Unless yer in a pinch.
From experience in the field as a developer, I can say that working with.net does rot the programmer brain. My last job I used JBuilder for Java/bean/jsp development, and now I work in asp development. It seems that ASP developers hold to no real standard no Pattern no OO... I want to shoot myself when looking for things in the code to fix..net makes things wayyy to simple and theres no set standard. I hate it, but it pays more. Heh.
Apache is doing awesome, however now that Microsoft is second, expect to see the commercials on TV:
"Is your host using IIS? No? Is it using ASP? NO?! Are you using OPEN SOURCE! (Evil sounding) opeeeennnn sourrrrceeeee.... If so you need to experience IIS! With its ability to make your developers coffee in the morning, and to block users who use that evil Google software from hacking your system! Call 1800MICROSHAFT today to get your free 12 minute introductory offer to IIS! Thats right TWELVE minutes folks! Microsoft nevers gives away free time on any of their products! During that 12 minutes you could host your own Porn site, or just blog about stupid stuff no one cares about, all using asp.net and a cheesey Access Database. Call today!"
Yay for Apache, but I really do think Microsoft will cause some issues on this and start pushing their stupid server software. While I do think IIS is easier to setup I think Apache is MUCH MUCH more stable. (experience with Tomcat and::gasps:: JSP!)
"A local man was cooked alive by the FBI using of all things a Microwave to spy on his Bittorrent and file sharing PC! the man did not realize anything was wrong when he had a craving for his own arm. Local law enforcement were baffled to see that the man in question had eaten his arm to the elbow, and the rest of him seemed to be cooked except for his mid section which was on a rotating glass plate in his living room. A local FBI spokesman said, "We thought using a microwave oven would give us a clear view of the file sharer's life and how he does it!""
This is of course made up! haha. However using microwaves to peer through walls and see whats going on is kinda nifty. However, I would think it would be dangerous over prolonged exposure, since a microwave does move molecules around to heat stuff up.
