See i would have expected SOMEONE to get bored enough to crack into the system they were running sorice system from and start messin' around with that.:)
Hmmm....I wonder if someone could go after Sony for their universal remote? After all they had to decode all those infrared blips to make it.:P Any those self-programming (where you aim the otehr remote at it to program it) isn't that like selling a device INTENDING for it to be used toe decript other remotes? This could turn ugly in a hurry!
I actually have a functional Speak n Spell (as well as the Speak n Math). I put batteries in them recently and was shocked that they worked. One of these days I need to see if the whole box of cartridges for them still work too:)
The device it self has an MSRP of $1500....so if one can aford the hardware, i would expect they already have, or will be building up to having this many disks. If it were a $300 device I might agree with you, but this is in a different ballpark.
Hell i've run into a few test books (college level) that had those slated:CueCat barcode that say to scan here for more info...i'll bet the publisher is sorry now that the whole:CueCat thing is dead and they have tons of text-books that don't work as planed.:)
They may start to see more channenges, but by and large people will still "google" things. People who always use google will as long as they remain a great search engine...if they start letting the results slip, then all bets are off.
Ok the question asked shouldn't be "Can the fragile internet economy really help local tax economies now?" It SHOULD be is making it harder for people to buy things on-line the best thing for the US economy? I admit the states need money, but look at x-mas sale, a great number of which were ONLINE. Does the government really want to do ANYTHING that could hurt sales/commerce right now? That's right, let's shoot the economic recovery in the foot!
Some time drive on some of these US highways.....there are alot of places where it's not uncommon to see people doing well over 100mph, those little while and black signs that say 70 or 75 are just suggestions, not rules:)
Actually, I know of 4 large (read: Have branches all over the US) that do this. The only catch, they usually add 1 digit (at the begining or the end) to padd it to a 10 digit number, and MOST people won't know what to look for. Advice, always ask questions BEFORE opening accounts......this was a standard for a long time.
Yeah but this tends to "tie up" a PC. While it's recording it often means you can't do much else with that system. I would love a set-top box, so I wouldn't have build another computer JUST for this. I just hope that it has the ability to allow me to add/upgrade the HDD or at the very least store files somewhere else (a network port would be nice) so that I can save stuff that I really like. Here's to hopeing that This one thinks of these features. I also wouldn't mind a digital audio out so I can attach to my Reciever.:)
Thats why for any on-line purchases (or places where the card is going to leave my sight) I use a card with a 1K limit, and I check the callances on-line at least 2x a week (it takes like 5 min to log in and check it). If someone want to mess with that card go for it. As for my garbage i've got a file of every reciept going back 3 years, at the end of that it gets shredded on it's way out (takes like 20 min to shred a whole year). Problem solved. All it really takes to protect your self is to keep an eye out. I had that CC stolen one (on-line). I noticed the charges right away, called the bank, they re-issued the card and removed the 2 bad charges. End of problem. As for my SSN, hell more sites use it for logings then i care to think about (most financial sites ask for it) and wone of my friend's banks uses it as her account number, so it's on every check she writes (the whole 9 digits!). Your info is out there. Just check it yourself to make sure that nothing looks fishy. Hell if you don't order a Credit Report once a year and review it, your asking for trouble.
Ok, so it's just under $50 (it's been a few months since i've been there and then I just showed my season pass from New England that I had bought months earlier). Still the point is that Cedar Point is less expensive for a better collection of coasters.
The reason taht some OSes like the 1:1 relationship the artile talks about is that in some OSes the data in RAM gets written to the swap space durring "free" cycles. This means that if room is needed in RAM that page can be jettosoned without having to do a write back then. So if your OS does this, and your not currently using RAM much you *should* have an exact copy of most of the pages on the HDD. If you suddenly start doing a MASSIVE amount of calculations on something that is currently not in ram at all, you don't have to swap all those current pages out (they have alreadys been copied there) just dump them and load the new stuff. The less writing you have to do before you load the faster you can get the load done.
A BIG part of the time is how long it takes to get UP the hill....the newer coasters only sound short because many of them you go up the hill fast! If you compared the time from the top of the lift hill to the end of the ride on the older coasters it's less then 1/3 of the "ride time" in most cases. So while it may seem sort, it will not seem any less of a ride.....you just lose the anticipation factor of that first big hill, waiting to go over.
Hey when they have some of the best coasters in the US (and yes I have been on most coasters in the US so I am not just guessing) and THE best collection in the US then i think the admission price is reasonable. After all 6-flags Magic Mountain (Outside LA) which has another great collection of coasters is more then $50 a day. I don't know about anyone else, but when this ride is open, i will probably travel from CA to Ohio to ride it.
I'm an adrenaline junkie and damn proud
If your data is worth that much, then ASK to see credentials. If you don't care then don't. Just because the government doesn't regulate the industry doesn't mean that you can't selectively choose who you use. Just because they regulate the "auto-repair" industry doesn't mean I can ask my neighbor who knows all about cars to do some work on it for me, and then pay him for it. In fact that's not even illegal. You will probably pay more to use a place that has credentials and will guarantee their work, like if I decide to take may car to Midas instead of my neighbor's driveway. The gov. doesn't need to be involved. Hell if they get involved then the price of fixing someone's Internet browsing/e-mail reading computer could become very expensive. Sometimes having the unqualified kid next door come over look at it is the best thing, if you don't care much about the system or the data.
Or the trees are in the neighbors yard and then you get told that it can't be installed, and you have to fight with the store that sold you the dish so that you don't have to pay the $250 "early terimination fee" because THEY were incapable of installing the hardware required for the service.
Yeah, I would agree with higher gas taxes if it got rid of the property tax on cars. I drive a gas-guzzler because there are times when I need to power of the large V8 engine. However I figured out that while I could afford to buy a second car (something small and economic for my daily commute) that the property taxes would cost more then the extra fuel for having just one car. So I keep driving my van (10.2 miles/gal) everywhere. Too bad for the environment that 10% of the time I need to carry three quarters to a ton of stuff around and need the bigger engine.
They don't exist (believe me I've looked). There are some that are designed for video servailence cameras, but they don't include tuners (and many of those want to record 4 different cameras on the screen without sound). If you want something like that....build one your self with a computer. I'm hoping that some company figures out that these unit would sell BETTER the TIVOs and starts making cheep DVRs rather then PVRs. Hell I would be willing to pay the $500 that TIVO costs (with the life time service) to get a DVR that i didn't need to hook up to a phone line and let it call home.
It would be especially nice if they relized that tech-savy people are the ones who want this and designed it around current computer hardware and let people install extra/replacment drives easily, let them add DVD drives to play DVDs, let them add DVD burners to save favorites, places to plug in RAID cards, network cards, and the likes. But hey, i know that's a lot to ask, a company that delievers what customers want.
I learned eiffel at RIT. It sucked, but that was more because they made it harder then was really necessary. Ok, we're going to GIVE you AMLOST a whole program (with NO documentation) it's a combination of Eiffel and C++ code, and there's no way you know enough to understand the graphics parts, or the parts that interact with the other language, but HAVE FUN! It's not a bad language, it just needs to be used right......RIT didn't do that. So now they use Java.

Um...i belive the term you are looking for is BILLIONAIRE.....not millionaire. Hmm....does your computer also have 512 KB of RAM? A 30 MB harddrive?

Actaully you would get X = 2X and X = X+2 (the 2 operands are the same the instruction is different) and the race would be to 2X + 2 or 2(X+2).
