This is, imho, not a great idea. All it's going to do is cause children to leave their cell phones at home, so parent's are totally unable to get into contact with them. At least that's what I'd have done as a child
iirc in that same episode Prof. Wormstrom (sp?) built something similar to this which wound up getting hit by a piece of space junk, and turned it into a giant magnifying glass, doing more harm than good.
Only the windows ipod uses FAT. The mac native format is (I believe) HFS+. I was forced to reformat FAT in order to sync, as the ipod firmware will only read FAT or HFS+. I would have been much happier using ext2, as it's natively supported on my system. I haven't been able to find any decent HFS+ drivers for linux. I wonder if this means apple will add more support, stop selling windows ipods, or pay MS.
Who am I kidding, they'll just release a new ipod, and make people upgrade for the "new features".
Do I sound bitter? Maybe they should have given the Gen2 ipods playlist on the go support.
Actually, while I was a waiting tables at a diner, I discovered that by putting cubes of jello in a glass of cold seltzer, you could create a minimalistic lava lamp. If the seltzer is cold enough, the jello won't melt, and the bubbles will adhere to the cubes, causing it float, and when it reaches the top, the bubbles will pop on the surface, leaving the jello to fall back down. Pretty neat trick to impress the customers, especially if you leave it sitting on the counter.
I think it's possible that there's something we're missing in the equation. I might be wrong about this, but perhaps the reason violence is allowed is to discourage violence. I know that I often cringe, or say to myself "OUCH. I don't want that happening to me". On the other hand, sexually explicit movies have the opposite reaction (ie. they make me want to have sex). Either way, I don't think it's the place of the government to regulate what anyone can watch.
what makes you think there is an answer?
this is an issue that I am torn on. how is it possible to stop terrorism and child pr0n, with out eliminating human rights? I believe very strongly in personal freedom, but at the same time, I believe that my rights end where yours begin. as long as what I'm doing doesn't affect anyone else, I don't see how it can be wrong. at the same time, how can we tell when some form of communication is about to affect others negativly without inspecting it all (which I find deplorable)?
if anyone has an answer, I'd love to hear it
what about the spammers with half a brain, and a spare computer to install linux and sendmail? I personally use localhost as my default smtp, and have no problems. aren't you glad I'm not a spammer?
GTA:VC came out the same week I was laid off. I will admit that at 5pm the day I found out, I was at electronics boutique buying GTA and tony hawk 4. They managed to keep me amused until earlier this month, when.hack//infection came out in the US. I'd have to say it's probably the best video game I've played since Blaster Master on the original NES.
I'm also wondering how they measured the clock speed. Mac fanatics are always saying "MHz is a myth" because their chips will do more per clock cycle. I'd be really interested in seeing ALL the specs (flops, and mips, etc) along with clock speed.

are you sure it wasn't the Ford Prefect?

but then you lose the translucent/colorful/jiggily aspect to it.

especially since by cracking the encryption, whoever is trying to prosecute you will be liable under the DMCA. Brilliant idea, bravo.
and don't forget....

not only that, but didn't we see something very similar a few days ago?
wouldn't it be cool to watch? people's heads exploding and such.
mmmm, Mandrake. I would love it if I didn't hate it so much.
well, then shouldn't they have used yellow dog, which is tweaked to run specifically on Mac's?
I could be wrong, tho
wouldn't it make more sense to test OS X vs. Linux on Intel, on which it was originally developed?
