I dont leave my freaking DS in the car let alone sensitive data like that. But there is plenty of blame to go around on this... in particular the fact that other than to prevent loss in the case of a fire, I cant see one legitimate reason for the tapes even leaving the site.
Hell even in that case, why didnt they have a remote backup to prevent loss through a fire or flood.
yes but Australia's coverage sucks unless your at a coast, so the point stands that in the US the cost has a lot to do with the sheer amount of area they are covering with their networks.
Yes but in this case its the RADIATION that they are blaming on the sickness. If people are saying they are getting sick with the tower not even powered up, then it is NOT the tower doing it as the only source of said sickness that could be attributed to the tower would be missing.
Your method of testing doesnt even relate to the problem at hand, that of people making up illnesses over a perceived threat. Using your analogy, its more like saying this food is poisoned and getting sicker and sicker as you eat it... yet have no poison anywhere in the food but simply being told "there is poison in this".
What they are simply showing (and whats been known for years) is that you can be convinced to be something to the point your body actually goes about and screws with it's self, yet have no actual illness be present.
There are a multitude of factors why the Wii didnt hit 1 mil it's first weekend in Japan, but I would think the biggest one would be because unlike the PS2, the Wii launched in Japan and the US at the same time, and thus split its stock among the two nations. There was a decent gap of time between the PS2's Japan launch and the US one, and in between Japan had almost 0 PS2s in stock anywhere as they where all diverted to the US launch to cover the mil promised here.
Hard to hit a million your first weekend when there is not enough out there.
We pay more for sugar because we import sugar. Congress put really high tariffs on sugar to help out their buddies in the midwest, who needed a use for corn, which has huge subsidization over other grains. Sugar growers caused none of this, they got royally screwed by the US government under the idea of a trade imbalance, and it would be very easy to fix though likely never will because of how in the pocket huge corporate farms are to the democratic and republican parties.
1) drop sugar importation tariffs.
2) Stop subsidizing corn or any farmed crops, there is absolutely no need to just like there is no need to subsidize airlines, banks, or ANY corporation for that mater. The only people such subsidization benifits ARE big huge corporate crops owned by huge companies, and not the people they are falsely being created for (IE little mom and pop farms which still exist are practically all gone thanks to the politicians)
If some company cant keep going on their own ability to make money and budget properly, then they dont deserve to exist until they can.
which is also why video games suffered as being a nitch market in the last 15-20 years, when back in the 70's early 80's they where something everyone played.
Nintendo has realized one of the biggest problems Sony and Microsoft didnt, that hardcore gamers are not a big market and catering to them severely limits your audience. If you look at some of the biggest games of the last few years, they cater to general audiences and are party games.
while yes they could steal the license plate, you run into issues of the plate not matching the vehicle its supposed to (you do realize that your plate matches your car, and that its a clear tipoff if they are looking for a white car with the plate and the camera sees a red one.) Also you have to look at how easy it is to steal a plate (not as easy as you think it is, and in truth it would probably just be easier to steal the car)
as for making one up, well since its going to look at a database of every plate out there, and not just a select few, there is no way in hell your going to be able to make one up to fool it. Actually you probably could, but its going to take a lot more work and thus give us a lot more time in return.
Well at this point, I think the more interesting SE games are coming out for the Nintendo systems. Between the two FF:CC games coming out, and Dragon Warrior, who needs a proper FF game that will likely be all graphics and cutscenes and no story and gameplay. FFXII was a start, but at the moment post SNES Final Fantasy has 2 good story games going for it, and 3 1/2 ooh look at the pretty pictures ones (I count FFXI as a half since while it didnt start out with a decent story, the last two expansions have had some impressive storyline going for it, especially Chains of Promathia.)
It wouldnt make me bite when it was this much for the 20 gig... why should the 60 dropping 100 buck matter, its till more costly than a 360 which atm has more games.
And honestly looking at FFXIII despite being a huge FF fanboy doesnt make me bite at all, not for 500 dollars. As for the other PS3 killer apps right now, more than a few are actually out or coming out on the 360, which I already own.
Im sure a bunch of people are going to jump on me with bluray this, and HDMI that, but quite frankly Sony really think about what made their PS2 a huge seller. They though it was the diehards, and built a system perfect for them. What they forgot was the casuals, of which the 100 dollar PS2 became a big seller not the 300 dollar original pricetag version.
because unlike the last President where the republicans owned most of the house and where able to force through a extremely unpopular impeachment proceding, the Democrats only own a slight majority.
But more importantly because impeaching him wont get us out of Iraq any faster, which the Democrat leaders stated quite clear to the rest of the party when the younger ones wanted to impeach AND try him for treason after winning congress.
there could very well be GPL2 code on it, but license wise thats fine, its GPL3 code that matters and as you know, GPL3 was JUST released the same day as the iPhone.
If that license was retroactive we would be talking about hundreds of thousands of devices having to be called back and opened up, and hundreds of companies ready to hang people by the neck.
Yeah but since I have seen even CNN do this, Its not a shock, and I would say its just blogs emulating what the real media does themselves... make news so they have something to report between real newsworthy stories.
actually he is just stating a fact, that a unscientific poll does not = everyone having issues. Everyone I know who has gotten one has all had not one issue with it except one, who had a pre-existing ATT account which many people who have issues, ALSO have had.
Your right it aint 3G which means the entire country can use it instead of roughly two dozen cities that have 3G support leaving the rest of the country out in the cold.
Oh and the iPhone can last a day with normal consumption, not 45 minutes because 3G chipsets consumer insane amounts of power.
Seriously this not 3G crap is getting old. Its not 3G because in the US 3G is NOT READY YET.
your facts are a little warped on the Saddam Donnie meeting. Donald never pitched chemical weapons at all, he was supposed to (by order of Regan) tell Saddam to STOP using them, but the US had such a fear of Iran at that point, that they (the cabinet) overruled Regan (without Ronnie knowing) and told Rumsfeld to not bring up the issue. Rumsfeld did bring it up with Tariq Aziz in a later meeting though, feeling it would be easier to talk to him about it, that Saddam.
Regan repeatedly in public though decried Iraq's use of chemical arms, and the US most certainly never supplied any technology, knowledge, or arms themselves.
Just the foreseeable future. Regimes change (thank god) and governments change. Little over 30 years ago we where Irans friend and traded major arms to her (including F-14 fighters and their powerful at the time Phoenix missiles) in less than 3 years they became our sworn enemy.
and when it was released it was over 700 dollars. And no most smartphones are NOT subsidized unless they are over a year old. Most PHONES are, but then thats a cell phone, not a smart phone.
I woke up this morning to the iPhone on Today. Its not just Slashdot... the entire country has drank the koolaid. I used to think I was a Apple Fanboi, but even I think the amount of attention a god damn phone has gotten is ridiculous. While I have no problem defending the thing against the numerous people who are making shit up on the fly to knock it (hi um a LOT of phones are not subsidized when they are released. The Q was 400 dollars on its release, and Treos are still 500 dollars WITH a plan from Verizon unless you buy it online.) at the same time I just want to scream....
ITS JUST A GOD DAMN CELL PHONE NOT A CURE FOR CANCER
I really feel ridiculous as a human being people are so enamored with teh shinyz. Especially 500 dollar ones when that money could be used for something so much more important.
nope, its only Apple stores and select AT&T stores are carrying it. In no way has it ever been stated that you can buy a unlocked phone. Jobs was very clear to the fact that the iPhone was a 2 year AT&T exclusive.
College educated people tend toward Facebook since up until recently it barred people who didnt have a major corporate job, or where in higher ed right?
you realize these sites make MILLIONS in ads right? When a site can actually pay its moderators money (something most sites dont even think about), you realize that said site must be racking in the dough.

Yep plenty of blame to go around.

Well if you throw enough rocks at a coffe cup, one of them has to land in it eventually.

Just because your a Dr. doesnt make you in any way smart. It just means you where willing to put up with the bullshit that is high education longer.

none of the system makers allow AO games, Microsoft included.
