HDTV support has been an absolute bitch for the last year. Now I can finally pull my computer (3ghz P4 computer I built for HDTV, $700) out of the closet and record some HD CSI!
Ever seen one of those nature specials? Jesus, they REALLY make you appriciate the abilities of those things. They can squeeze though like 3 inch diameter tubes to get to food, can climb out of a tank to get food, and just solve lots of problems.
I agree, probably one of the most underrated animals.
Most artists come out behind after they get dropped from a label. Sure they pay for the hotels and cars and things for you to stay on, but little of it is actual money. One band came out $14,000 behind.
Exactly. Even worse, the artist makes around 11 cents. It's pretty fucked up when your downloading a song and the cartel thats "reason" for existing is for packing and distrubution gets a cut. Screw that.
Because then people realize that having sattelite radio is stupid when you can have have 2+ weeks worth of songs that are replayable, searchable, and pauseable.
I'll take an MP3 player over even the most tricked out sattelite radio.
You will NEVER be able to record sattelite in any serious way. Don't even think about it, the RIAA is sending a hit squad now to take out you and your dangerous ideas.
I don't want an iBrick; I just want a freaking MP3 player. Jesus, will companies get over this "everything in one" idea? If I want a satellite radio, I will buy one.
"ENTPs are known for their quest of the novel and complex. They have faith in their ability to improvise and to overcome any challenges that they face. They are highly independent, and value adaptability and innovation. They may be several steps ahead of others in encouraging and valuing change. They hate uninspired routine and resist hierarchical and bureaucratic structures that are not functional. They need freedom for action....
The worst job for them is working for someone who demands considerable rule following or tries too often to tell or order, rather than make suggestions to the ENTP. Throughout their careers, ENTPs want their work to be enjoyable, with interesting possibilities for applications. Additionally, having their work widely acclaimed and accepted as a unique contribution would be highly gratifying for ENTPs...
They prefer the start-up phase of a project rather than the followthrough or maintenance phase. Once the project is designed, they prefer to turn it over to someone else. They take initiative and inspire others toward greater accomplishments and challenges."
The "smart" personality types are generally this way. People like me are the "inventor" class, we are geniuses when it comes to ideas and thinking "outside the box." However, following through on these projects is the hard part. Usually we like to get a project started then let someone else take over when our attention span is used up.
Of course, no company would bother even thinking of these things, even though it would make them more productive with happier workers.

The only thing that sucks is that biology is more effcient than many "artificial" solutions derived from it.
Yeah, because we all know flying robotic octopuses with fricken laser beams are so close.
Fricken homework...
Yes, but the legs never even get close to tangling themselves, even if they were not lubricated. They are pretty good at manuvering.

Well, at least thats what Microsoft told me...

Does anyone know why they would do something so stupid as having sattelites in LEO and not geo-stationary?
GPS and sending hundreds of channels of music+data over a wide specturm are fairly different things mate.

Actually, it is enabled during non-peak times when most users are not on. This is getting pretty rare, though.
They may even add links to wikipedia articles at the top (like they do now for images) if it matches a wikipedia article. Cool.
I suspect you are just jealous.
In general the people on Slashdot are indeed very smart people. I think these responses are to be expected.
Counter-intuitive, but it makes sense.
But it is hard for us to admit we are wrong.

I dont think anyone gives a shit about profanity in code. It's not like 5 year olds are going to be reading this stuff, you know.
Dude, the "Invent" in their logo is just a marketing ploy.
...which still holds true to this day.
