I don't think he meant to say bring the system down, because that's pretty stupid and we don't have a backup plan (rip it down to put it back up WTH?)....
ANYWAY He is agitated like I am at the FBI for their complete incompetence, we already eroded our right for them and they still FUCK UP. The track record of the FBI is they consistently do more harm then good (anyone heard of them going after the guys who wrote Louie Louie for subversion?).
you would be stupid to pay;) They offer a custom lineup option in every recevicer (so you can edit out the 250 channels of PPV and the 100 or so of music). The only thing you cant do is edit the order (like if you want to put all of the p0rn channels right next to comdie central)
(Off thread)Dish also has a new program running for the p0rn, which allows you 3 hours (and if you have the PVR, an investment:D) of viewing on all 5 adult channels.....
(Off-thread again!) But the dish network has the worst mpeg-2 compression I have ever seen, horribly blocky when pumped thru a S-video port.
And this is why we don't have a meta discussion page. Because it's all about the money, really. There's too much of it to allow Slashdot to really be impartial.
But nobody really cares anyway. Herds, the lot of ya.
And I'm posting this AC free, damn the punishment.
You do know that most banks (read: legit) do this service as well, and your money is protected with the famous FDIC insurance program.
I trust paypal as far as I can throw it. Any program that "acts" like a bank making money off the interest of money in the accounts (and they do, and they still make more when your account is frozen! Banks aren't allowed to do that!!!), yet claims its not is not something I want to deal with much.
if you watched this weeks chappell show you'll notice the guy robbing the hall where the championship craps game is being held shot a guy in the leg (below the torso) to avoid a attempted murder charge.
completely off topic, but on if you wanted to shoot someone fo' stealing your shit....
So what's the difference between finger printing and water marking? Or are they one in the same? I know water marking does degrade the audio or visable (as in looking at the soundwaves) frequency that can be found and defeated but is there more to that?
Yes but buildings aren't constantly evolving and revolving of capitalism
At one point it's still a box containing stuff you sell. People will still come back and 1 day hit is minimal at best to finances.
(Ex: You sell bred. Your store is closed down. Your bread will still be there tomorrow)
Online service companies OTOH have contacts to hold up. They must compensate for when they are down on their end.
( Ex: funnywittyp0rnname.com sells a service, they having income coming in and must continue to provide services at any giving time on the internet (for people um, who want porn at 3:30 in the afternoon). No porn, that guy now has to break the law and download for free of kazza. Net loss both parties (Legal porn, source of revenue))
Actually, activision published id titles. GT interactive did it beforehand before going under.
Id owns everything; activison gets a cut from publishing their titles.
That's not googles doing, that's someone google bombing google (hehe) and making sites like search-now-really-fast.net or a long-domain-name-simliar-to-wording-of-your-search.com rank at tops of list for stuff like toms hardware and bias....
These people don't want to pay teh google for a legitimate place on the right side of the search engine and for that they don't get one dime from me....
Well the AGP 3.0 spec specifies multiple AGP cards, but its going to be overlooked and irrelevant now that you'll have 6 of the same slots to accidentally put the wrong video card in.
Even now you can do Multiple screen quake, just that AGP card had to be capped so the PCI card could catc up.
I am going to love seeing video cards on the last slot of computers and people asking me "vanillacoke [well they wont call me that they just call me...never mind, forget it] how come my 500 dollar video card is so slow" And I'll say "You put your 16x PCIE card in a 1x slot" and they'll say "oh" and they'll ask me to fix their internet (because AOL just came out with Ten point oh Supercharged) then later on ill mock them on Slashdot.
And thus, the circle of life is completed.

He said car silly, that's a SUV. But looking further (teh quick google;)) the 89k Nissan Skyline GT-R (twin turbo inline 6) is in fact 280HP. I don't know about you, but for 89k car id like nice round numbers. The different levels on the car's Torque range from 266 to 293.
9. Lack of options. There's one thing that everyone loves/hates its options. I like how the option of playing a game at 1600x1200 at a very high refresh rate with eye candy set to max. Standard TV's, while big are still outdated. My monitor is bright, large and less eye damaging then your average 24 in TV. (To be fair the xbox does theroticly support 1080i but you could not seriously play a game like halo on that setting. the reality is its can handle 720p)
10. Controllers. They aren't the best input devices for every game. Have you tried playing a FPS on console?
11. half-decade self life's. Face it. Consoles are going to die out ever 3-5 years. That's a 300-400 dollar investment in one shot. Some systems are slowly letting you play older games, but that may or may not catch on. Current unsubstantiated rumors of the xbox2 all indicate that Microsoft's going towards a largely proprietary system then glorified pc.
12. Different systems. Hell you don't know what's going to be around in a year or so. Sega, 3DO Atari all died out leaving everyone high and dry... Plus now that games are shipped to all 3 systems which one do you get? The game cube get systematically jew'd with options that the Xbox and ps2 get (example: XIII. Of the 3 systems Xbox got xbox live support and downloadable content, ps2 got a lot of multiplayer features, and gamecube got nothing).
13. Content lockout. I don't know about you. But I know I can buy a game from Europe and know it will play on my PC here in America. Not so with consoles. Either physical or software lockouts inhibits us from buying from other regions (say Europe or Asia) in attempt to preserve profits. The only modern system i know that doesn't lock people out is the gameboy...
