Is this a case of the government not thinking to future generations, or there being a general lack of need for a monorail here? How bad is traffic? Into and out of the city? Will it cost less to build this now and not spend tons of money of the roads or to just not build it at all? In the long run?
I ask this only because 99.9% of all city governments have no grasp of these concepts and would gladly pass problems off to their furture generations in seeking the all mighty vote for next term.
I have never even HEARD of screens cracking on the older gen iPods. While I could see it on a nano cause its so thin, the older gens are way to thick to even twist it enough to get it to crack.
The only possible way I could see it is tossing it out the window, and even then my 1st gen never had its screen break when it fell to the ground.
bull there is always fanfair because its still not a everyday thing. The russians where notorious for the amount of deaths they have on their head in space, a LOT more russians have died in space than Americans even if the Soyuz is safer, most where covered up though because of the cold war, and information about who died is still iffy since many where reported as dying in training accidents and or military accidents, not space accidents which the evidence points to.
No one, not even the Russians can EVER be 100% sure. NASA was 100% sure, and it cost them two shuttles. The Russians on the otherthand dont balk at a few people dying for the greater cause, something Americans do because often the causes are wrong in American minds.
Its a questions of additude, its not a question of safety
Depends on how you look at it, 1 more has died on a Soyuz than on a Apollo, but the Soyuz has been around longer in actually space use. but that doesnt make it less costly than other systems that can be developed as everything is tossed in the end.
There has to be a better solution that is reusable but actually saves money.
anyone else see this as the sad state our national space program is in when we are buying old Russian space capsules because our burecrates in NASA cant get their collective heads out of their asses and build a better spacecraft.
I mean why dont we just take Apollo back up there while we are at it, they where both built around the same time and seem to be better off than the shuttle is now:/
There HAS to be a better solution than these old 60s relics that doesnt cost a are and a leg like the flying deathtrap the shuttles are.
While i dont agree about TNG (I too think Enterprise while slow in its first two seasons, managed to come to its own the last two even if the beebs fucked the pooch with the ending.) I do aree about DS9. It was anything but Star Trek.
In my FFXI LS, I know of 5 people who play FFXI, WoW, and GW. I myself used to play Lineage and FFXI. I know a lot of people who play FFXI and EVE online or EQII.
So while yes, games like WoW and GW have opened it up to the masses by toning the game down and taking the challenge out of it (and accourding to a lot of the older generation, the whole point of a MMO), its also a lot of die-hard people who get bored playing one game so they take some time off to play another
A class-action suit was filed against Apple over the illegal bundling of iTunes with iPod. This practice is anti-competitive.
nothing says you HAVE to use the program. I know of plenty of third party apps that you can use to get tunes on and off your ipod. This is like saying Epson and Adobe should be sued for bundling a light version of photoshop with scanners.
A class action suit is gathering steam concerning defective main circuit boards in iBooks manufactured from 2001 to 2003.
Ok here I could see, but Apple allowed everyone with the problem free replacements of their iBook motherboard (and in some cases like mine, a whole new iBook) once the problem was known.
Apple faces a class action lawsuit by people saying they misrepresented iPod battery life. Info here and here.
Totally without merit even though Apple offered replacements. It was well documented when you bought a iPod that the battery life was 8 hours (which it was with my first gen and I can vouch for it along with thousands of others) and that after so many hours the batterys charge went down. This is like saying your going to sue Nintendo cause you play your DS too much. Just another group of lawyers latching to a story and getting rich while the few who legitimatly had a problem are going to get nil. Infact this one was settled if I remember for 50 buck voucher... the cost of a battery replacement.
Apple previously faced a class action lawsuit by Powerbook 15-inch owners concerned about white blotches that appeared on their screens. Info here. Apple resolved that one.
Was a very obscure manufacturing problem and I have yet to meet someone who actually even HAD the problem. Likewise it wasnt as if Apple wasnt fixing it (they where) people just didnt feel they where fixing it fast enough for them, this btw had nothing to do with drop pixle problems, those are just the nature of LCDs.
And im not even going to get into the other shit listed since some isnt even proven but just baseless accusation, and nothing says the reason Jobs gave (HIS OWN MONEY) to Kennedy has to be because of buisness (its well know Jobs is a very liberal guy and a huge Democratic Party contributer)
I mean damn if your going to troll, i could as a Apple user come up with a LOT better shit to troll with than you just did. Sure Apple is no saint. But its no Microsoft either.
um first its been 4-5 years since the last console came out.
second, you would expect a console to cost MORE than a graphics card simply cause it does more to begin with. its a graphics card PLUS a CPU, motherboard, etc.
And third its 400 for the full version, not 500.
Seriously you PC trolls really need to start doing your homework before you shoot flames.
A Architect is a artist, a engeneer is the one who actually takes care of all those little details like fire code and such.
Most architects have no fing clue about any of that as you can plainly see in any building that was designed by a architect but not gone over by a engeneer later.
As for why a special waver would need to exist, very simple, a architects calling card is his style. You look at a Wright house and you know Frank Loyd Wright designed it. Architects in the past used to be very sneaky and used to copy styles from other architects, thus why there is a copyright, to prevent someone from stealing anothers work which happend very often even as recent as the 30's and 40's.
why? 10 % of the market even knows about if (yes Im being very generous) maybe 1% of the market even encodes in it, and its been proven in audio tests ACC is better sounding even if its not nearly as small as ogg.
Face it only super nerdy linux geeks would ever use it so there is no point in putting it in, and its not like you cant not add support to iTunes.
Your totally wrong unfortunatly, and saying this is exactly what could be used to kill OSS if people are not more careful.
In this case if it was one person, ok they have a custom build of Firefox. But what if it was 5, 10? maybe 200, Now there is a custom build and a normal build of FF floating around the web and none of the FF versions amoung different clients is the same.
OSS is about project leaders solving every little problem out there through the help of other people who find the problem and code for it. It is not about doing it yourself and seeding a special build to everyone. Thats a easy way to disaster.
because most FF fans would agree VI was the best. Yes there are a lot of fanboys and girls for VII but the story character development length and design makes VI far far and away the best. VII doesnt even come close
this isnt a troll this is the truth, Microsoft is just taking another play out of Apples book, and one that Apples been doing for well over 7 years now ever since OS 9. Everyone knows its smarter to update your software as you find problems but M$ is well known to let bugs sit around for 3-6 months before they update it in one huge chunk.
It is in everyone person's right to criticize bad service,
Your exactly right here
and the threat of libel lawsuits should not be as powerful.
and your completely wrong here. The threat should be powerful, it is ment to prevent people from lying. Its one thing to not like your service, but when you outright lie about things, or in the case of most medical sites asume you know more about the subject than the doctor even when you dont. then your commiting libel which is a very serious offence.
Now if the doctor stuck his thumb up your ass and said was it good for you, thats one thing. But most of these sites are full of people with about as much medical knowlage as a fisherprice book yet asume they can diagnose their illness better than the doctor.
Basically put, you better not be making shit up when you decide to print things about anyone, because it WILL bite you in the ass and no crying freedom of speech will stop that.
After all the First Admendment does not protect liars. Sept unless your a polititan.
I loved FFVII, and I have to say it, SE fucked up. This was beautifully done, but it destroyed Cloud. The tacked on "ending" ending was horseshit, and in all it was just a retread of the game, sept now we get to see a second beloved character die for no reason other than to kill them.
And yet Apples customer service is considered the best in the buisness.
Thus we get the truth, most people feel customer service is crap when they dont get anything out of it they feel they should, even if they go in fully knowing they wont because it was their own stupidity that broke it.
And considering I have Apples from 84 and on still working perfectly, saying Apple products arnt durable is a lie. They freaking shot a old iMac with a gun and it still worked, and numerous Apple systems have been trashed only to work perfectly once plugged in.
somehow I think this entire post was simply a advertisement for AbsoluteMac.
FFXI has done quite well supporting PS2. Infact most of their userbase worldwide is PS2 players, surprising when you take into account SE never released a PS2 version of the game in Europe.
"The thing is, by the time things appear in headlines it's WAY TOO LATE to fix them. "
Tell microsoft that. 90% of their viruses are from vulnerabilitys that are known and have no patch even created for them.
And the truth is most headlines of Apple and Unix vulnerabilitys come out only to FUD the OSs because they are typically more secure than anything Microsoft has ever released. In every one of the cases the vulnerabilitys where litterealy just found that week except one. Contrary to your belief you cant patch something thats unknown. Course if you somehow have a time machine then I guess you could.
Apple has by some accounts a 16% userbase. Marketshare does not mean userbase contrary to/. belief.
Likewise Apple tends to inform their userbase better as to why you want these updates when they pop on the screen, Microsoft tends to just tell the common user what amounts to gibberish. Apple treats every security update as a major deal that needs to be downloaded. There is no low and medium priority like Microsoft has.
yeah and it hurt them. Bluetooth which was crippled is now opened up in new phones because they where threatened with a class action lawsuit to open it up.
The number one thing Verizon could do though is just to fire their CEO. Hes a major dinosaur in the industry and with him gone Verizon could start to make a comeback. Its saf cause I like Verizon a lot, but they are in trouble now that Cingular bought AT&T and their current CEO just doesnt see the threat his company is in.

There is no PSP or DS version planned. It was rumors that got out of control.

it was also much longer and funnier and in general better done. Ill have to see if i can find it.

Just for future reference of course.
If you can find a 4 gb for 50 Ill shit on it before I eat it.
