I just saw one of these things in my local mall the other day. I played Super Mario Brothers on it for a minute, and wondered why they used an N64 controller for it...
Think I'll print these sites off and give them to the guy running the booth.
I have always hated that wording. "Innocent until proven guilty" implies that the defendent WILL be proven guilty. It's like "Driving a car until it crashes". There's nothing ambiguous about that. The car is driven until it crashes. The defendent is innocent until proven guilty.
Innocent UNLESS proven guilty was what they should have said.
Final Fantasy X-2 was planned from the moment that FFX was released. Anyone who had the international version of the game knew that: it had a video at the end that showed Tidus in a cage, asking for Yuna to save him. There's nothing about it that is rehashed - it's just the second chapter in the same game.
DARPA envisions a day when a fighter pilot, for instance, might operate some controls just by thinking.
There's just one problem with this whole thing. If a pilot panics in a modern plane, the computer can compensate for his errors and adjust to a proper course of actions. If a pilot were directly wired into the plane, however, what would happen if he panics? Is it possible that he might send it reeling into a tailspin?
Yes, wetware is a dream for a lot of us computer geeks, but we have to realize something. Computers are emotionless, analytical machines. People have feelings that affect our decisions. A program can be designed so that it has a 100% repetition rate for a desired outcome. If you could control every possible external factor influencing a person, you MIGHT be able to do the same thing, but if just one variable is altered the results might be totally skewed.

I've got the Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra (the 40 GB model). It has all the functionality you could want - playlists, sorting by author/genre/album, searching for specific titles, etc. Not only that, but it supports both MP3 and WMA formats. To top it all off, you don't have to pay ridiculous amounts of money to replace the battery.
Oh yeah, since it's a Creative product, it comes with a hard-wired EAX setup, where you can simulate surroundings, speed up or slow down the music, etc.
Doom 3 will require an Intel Pentium 9 Quantum 1024-bit Edition PC running Windows XP with a +2 for Gaming, 128 TB of RAM, and an approximately infinite storage capacity.
But seriously, I ran the demo (uh...) of this on my machine - a Pentium 4 1.5 gHz with 640MB of RAM and a GeForce FX 5200 with 256MB DDR - and only managed 5-10 fps. What have id gotten themselves into?
Is it just me, or does the name Christian Ahlert go really well with the thought of internet censorship? Here's a scene to tickle your fancy:
Ten men sit in a computer-filled room, their screens filled with dozens of web pages. These are the local ISP's active censors, whose job it is to monitor and censor pages that are currently being viewed by subscribers.
Suddenly, the room is bathed in a flashing red light, and a siren shrieks loudly. "CHRISTIAN ALERT! CHRISTIAN ALERT!" screams the loudspeaker. Immediately the men leap from their seats and gather around the offending monitor.
"What've we got, Johnson?" says one man, to the man seated before the monitor.
"Just another Code 7, Sparks," Johnson says, pointing at the screen. "Someone's looking at a porn site. Tsk... come on people, ten simple litle rules... and you can't help but break one." ... ok, so that's not nearly as funny as I thought it was going to be when I started into it... but eh.
I am simply astounded that you tried to link Jesus to Taoism. Have you actually read the Bible at all? Jesus most definitely made distinctions between Himself and God. Ever heard the phrase "not my will, but Yours be done"? He specifically petitioned His Father for mercy, excepting that God's will and not Jesus' be done. He accepted that His will was not the same as God's, because Jesus was a human being.
Besides, He would NEVER say that all are God. In fact, He said that "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." If He said we've fallen short of the glory of God, how can we all be part of God?
Please, I respect your beliefs and all, but before you make an argument based in someone else's, do a bit more research.
I noticed that one of their services includes "Interactive 3D POPverts". Huzzah! Now I can get annoying flashing banner ads in 3D! My life is now complete.

Neither Bush nor Kerry are secure, stable, or standards-compliant. ... oh wait, you were talking about the browsers...

To think that I was just looking for GMailFS a few days ago, and was bummed that I couldn't find a Windows port for it. Bravo to the guys behind this.

Oh, thank God! Now I just need to dig up my 400GB SD card...

Actually, as racist as you were... yes, in a way, it is.
From Dictionary.com: "1 entry found for nigritude.
nigritude
\Nig"ri*tude\, n. [L. nigritudo, fr. niger black.] Blackness; the state of being black. --Lamb."
... in Portuguese, it's SEM. rrgh.
Both have the potential TO live.
Slow news day, I see!
Wow... you certainly seem to want Jesus to be a Taoist.
"With enough effort, anything can fit into your philosophy."

I'm pretty sure it's in Michigan.
Um... Gravity has never been proven. There is merely a large amount of evidence supporting it. That doesn't mean that we have it 100% right, however.

Heh. "Bacha (a common last name)"... and where might this be??
