Go find yourself a group of college kids. $$ to them = motivation, time and effort. And for the college - a feather to put in their cap.
I will tell you what though, I can put you in touch with a Software Architect that teaches at the school I work for. If (!) you can convince him to make his class project *your* project you might find yourself with a decent Alpha for a little money with a dedicated group that would like to see it be more than an alpha. Just a thought, but there you go. Oh and, I can be contacted at my sig @ yahoo.com
that if the astrologers and operators of the 1-900 service really had all this power, they'd use it for themselves and not have to do all this marketing to others.
...and they wouldn't be proving it to Randi for a paltry million dollars either.
Acting as Mr irtza's lawyer I would like to remind the slashdot community that though Mr irtza may not be able to reproduce Random Noises 1-43 he would certainly know them if he heard them again. They are copyrighted works and reproducing them will bring swift and harsh punishment. Please do not bring trouble upon yourself by making Random Noises. You have been warned.
Eh? Where have you been during all of the PS/XBox/Wii/Cube/PSP/DS/Cedega SUX Wine is good enough/ flame wars? And besides, look at all the consoles I just mentioned, no bios to tweak, no video card to swap out. The group you reference are the ultra hardcore types. For every copy of Bioshock sold there were four copies of Sims 1/2. This isn't current but if start to add the tweakers up, they aren't that big a bunch. All would take is a little initiative on Apples part and they could watch thier sales climb as the casual game crowd can get thier games working under Mac.

How about they make their premier development platform work on Vista first. That is simply inexcusable. Word on the street is to wait for Studio 2k8 and that 2k5 will be tolerated, and anything earlier can choke on it. Thanks Bill, The commercial copies from Trolltech are starting to look like a bargain.
Well duh, just get an extra 76.1 of those 100Mhz chips then each one will run at 1.29Ghz. I tell ya, they will give out a 5 digit UID to *anyone* these days...yeesh
The Greatest Christian Apologist in the history of the world. Sure there are a lot of Jimmy Swaggerts, but at the same time, I think that one CS Lewis just might make up for them. Maybe. If you haven't read the Screwtape Letters, you owe it to yourself to do so. Even if you are an Atheist, they explain what a Christian should aspire to be.
I thought that I should go on record as saying 'Thank You'. You are an asset to my understanding of the legal morass that defines this mess. Thank you for you posts, thank you for posting them, and thank you for being one of the good guys.
I mean hammers and screwdrivers have nothing on them.
What that means is that you don't know shit about screws, or nails for that matter. Don't think because you can code that "easy" stuff like machine work is simple. Machinists make as much money as you do, and half the time they are programming computers.
Man, making a face: "Good God Bob, was that your stomach?"
Bob: "Yeah, I got Googled all morning."
Man:"Do you want to go home and lie down?"
Bob:"No, I might as well just get it out the Yahoo here."
Torture relies just as much on fear of death or permanent injury as it does on pain.
And this has it in spades. "Are they going to turn it on again? What is it doing to me? How is it affecting me? MY GOD HE IS GOING TOWARD THE BOX AGAIN!" Dont be so naive, it makes an excellent torture device. "We will be back." and then leave the box in the room where you cant touch it from your chains.
So, when a crowd of people are smashing your store front and burning your car
I will bet you money, that when this gets to the police, it will be used more times then cars burned. Yeah, you are right, it can silence a riot in short order. But the definition of "riot" is getting weaker all the time, ask the tasered youth at a Kerry speech. Remember when tasers were used to stop violent people? This 'tool' will go the same way.
And you have not met me...Hello.... a person who spent years raising strains of germs in a lab, fully aware of evolution, fully believing Darwin. Yet, I am a Christian. Again, I say Hello. I am that corundum, a scientist that believes. We are few, but we do exist.
Yes, and Mr Randi is living proof that once a huckster, always a huckster. The man doesn't understand science at all. His "Challenges" are pure huckterism, everything is slanted his direction from the start. If I can call all the shots I can prove anything, or disprove anything. Randi is living proof that that is true.
You have seen the trees... now see the forest. If he had said "masses' instead he would be spot on. The masses given off by copper tainted water are different than pure water, ask anyone who has ever used a mass spec.. As for memory, I severely doubt it, but as the Bard said "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
OK, I might be having a mental break, but still. If I was shot into space with a member of the opposite sex I would certainly sit my spouse down and have a heart to heart. A spouse might be the jealous type but I hope they are a logical being. To be the first - or any person to have sex in space??? How could you not?
The key here was in the word "worldwide". Should say, Papua New Guineans benefit from the public works of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland?
Why not?
This is going to sound very ugly American of me, but millions, if not billions of people go to bed at night knowing they are safe because the US spends billions if not trillions on defense. (yes, yes, I know, caveats abound) The point is that the Army does not ask to be paid for it's work. And I as a tax payer sleep better at night knowing that the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, and the Tower of London are safe. Why should the media produced by the BBC be any different? The media has been made, it is already paid for, set it free.
This is slashdot, you don't wear them, you make the other person wear them.
You: Ok, here put this on...and this goes here, and that strap there and flip on the power switch...and are they on? Good. Ahem. [joey]How you doin'?[/joey]
