I would love a service like this for US Colleges. Currently I have to go through various problems with postcards and other bull trying to get grades sooner then a month after the semester ends. Though currently there are some online grade services but not many teachers use them so maybe I should be complaining about the lazy luddite professors.
Err...that is not racism. Granted racism may also be present along with anger about outsourced jobs they do not really go hand in hand. Even if you wanted to associate some sort of prejudice with anger over outsourcing (which you do seem to want) then it would be a form a nationalistic discrimination. Really all it comes down to is looking out for your own interests.
"Why don't see see more of this stuff popuarlized for the computer? I know very few people who have a joystick or joypad."
Your obviously un-familar with the product (or MAME) and also didn't bother to read any of the links. This is for computers.
I guess I can understand wanting to create something like this and even a few geeks wanting one but I really don't see the need for workstations. Maybe it's the cure for tiny cubicles though.
I specifically said NOT traveling faster than the speed of light, in other words something like a hyperspace or wormhole solution to relocating the camera.
Using faster than light travel (not necessarily traveling faster than c but rather a form of travel which gets you from point A to point B faster than light would travel the distance) and a powerfull enough imaging device you could actually do it. By computing the correct distance and magnificaiton the device would need to be located to zero in on the correct time and then getting your viewer there before the light which started out at the period you wish to view (you would of course also need to find a clear path from Earth to your point with no gravity or objects in the way).
Or the much easier example, if we discover distantly located alien life. We could one day show them pictures of their own past, maybe even clear up a few things for thier historians.
(Now don't laugh this is all technically possible.)
I'm serious about this, Microsfot lacks soul. I'd say that Nintendo has the most in the gaming industry, though in recent years they seem to be holding more and more to post successes instead of creating new things which as long as they do it well is not a problem in my book. Even Sony has more soul than MS, there is more heart in their products. One of my favorite games is Halo so don't get me wrong, I do believe MS can turn out good games. I really do doubt however that they will every really dominate in the field.
It's nice and all but I don't see how there is any real control of the product. Like most other computer generated music it is must fiddled with until something pleasing accidently resulted, right?
I probably just missed something.
No dude. Sorry but these are not overly expensive in the States, even years ago you could get one for a few hundreed or alternatively get an addon for any normal bike for about the same price. You may be able to find horribly expensive ones with a nasty markup for yuppies but it is not the general condition of the market for these bikes in America.
When I first came across this technology years ago I wondered why it didn't seem to very popular. I soon realized that here in America nobody would ride one of these because of the social implications. Your either such a lazy fat bastard that you need a motor on your bike or your too weak and pathetic to just ride a normal bike or your a broke looser who can't afford a motorcycle or car. Who is gonna ride even a good electric bike (which even now there are few of) with these sort of implications attached.
They obviously need Sherlock Holmes. Not only would he solve the riddle but he would also manage to save Britain in the pocess, bring a criminal to justice and protect an innocent man who somehow got mixed up with it all.
nigritude ultramarine
Black Blue (the basic meaning of nigritude ultramarine) is a very fitting name for this contest as it is kicking my ass. My nigritude ultramarine page is a sad little 200th and so this post to try and draw attention it to and/or raise its rank through this nice little linkage.
A virus which kicks the other ones ass and then take up patrol duty. "Arkin and his colleagues have designed a potential AIDS treatment that would remain with the patient as long as he or she has HIV, meaning it would prevent AIDS from arising even in patients who otherwise would have developed the disease after a decade of latency"
And not only that but they made it out of the HIV virus, damn fine work.
I can get your not liking the pop-up windows (I don't either, though in this case it's probably the best solution) but complaining about the default size of the popups is moronic. They aren't cramming anything, resize or maximize the window like a good little boy and shut the fuck up.
I'm sorry to say that I haven't been able to watch either show because they are just so bad. I've never been able to stomach Mutant X but I liked Andromeda at first, but now to watch episodes I originally liked I stand stand it. I believe the reason for this is fantastic shows like Farscape and Firefly which just make these shows look like steaming piles.
Okay I've got to admit I little offense is actually intended. How do people whatch that dren?
Exactly WRONG! Alchohol based markers can in fact break down the layers whereas oil based ones cannot. I can't believe you could get it so completely ass backwards and be modded informative.
Slashdot Mirror
No I'm not. I said that if you want to call it a form of discrimination than at least call it the correct closest form, which is not racism.

Since I can't decide if your serious I'm going to respond like you are. That said: FRUIT YOU NINNY, FRUIT!

I agree completely, Microsoft is no competition for Linux and shall fall before Tux's might.

I think the nail has already been hit on the head here so no need for comments, move along.

Yeah okay now I'm mad. Don't you dare touch my precious...I mean my google! Filthy little beauracrats...I mean hobbits...no wait I mean baeuracrats!

Seems like a good solution though I would expect to giver up at least an arm and leg, possible a kidney, to buy the things.
Slashdot, the only place you can make a Futurama reference and then have it expounded upon.
And so the Bad Shows were executed in the mannor most befitting virgins.

Incarerated in a mental institution dude. He's not mistaken, you are.
