Kept "overheating" or something, and the store kept saying it was the programs I was using and then the power supply. So we kept swapping them out until they wouldn't let me anymore. The period between startup and crash would start at a few hours and inevitably get down to a few minutes, until I was never sure whether I should PRINT or SAVE my file because either one might increase the chances of a crash...
I'd recommend a Zoom standalone box, record directly to a hard drive. The files are easy to transfer to your PC/Mac and best of all Zooms are the easiest multitrack recorders to use.
I'd search gizmodo, engadget, and Boing Boing, as they often post "out there" examples of hardware (I'd imagine you already searched the archive of Slashdot). Also the US Patent office has a search on it and you can search by keywords, like "touch screen," "handlebars," "vibration," and "chocolate" (no, I won't tell you what I'm working on either...).
Games for the PC can go from $50 to discount bin in the time it takes for developers to put out a Mac port at the starting $50 mark. I've been a Mac user since '01 after years on Windows. If I end up buying a copy of Windows XP (possible) along with an Intel Mac (likely, eventually), it'll be for games.
I carry a year-old download of Wikipedia on my Palm via TomeRaider, fits on a 1Gig SD card. Very convenient and searchable. For me this was more cost-efficient than to pay for a monthly palm-internet connection, but 80G is a very small percentage of the web no matter what the cost, and the main thing I would like "permanent" access to the internet for would be communication (email, etc).
I know they've missed out on a few sales from me for just this reason. Just a few weeks ago I heard a song I liked on Scrubs, Googled the lyrics to figure out the title, and went on iTunes to purchase it that very night.
I'd have to purchase a whole album with songs I already own (it was apparently only available on a movie soundtrack)? No thanks.
Yes, but those reading Slashdot on an e-Ink ereader use up precious battery life every time the display changes. You wouldn't want them to have to scroll, would you?
I think it's great that they're trying something new, but I'm surprised video games gets a category before sequential art, since the latter has actually been nominated for existing category awards in the past.
ANd make sure you get the full version (yes, the expensive version). There are cheap, pseudo-abridged versions of the Pimsleur method out there, and they aren't going to be as much help.
And I'm not talking about the monopoly issue decades ago. A few years ago AT&T split into four companies voluntarily, including AT&T Wireless, Cable, Broadband, and Consumer Services Units. It ended up a bad idea, but then maybe they would have done much worese if they hadn't done the split. I think Wireless at the time was the only profitable one.
That said, TW hasn't really taken advantage of "synergy" opportunities enough to benefit from having it all in one company. If the problem is that it takes too long for the behemoth to move, then maybe this is a good idea.
Yeah, I was very excited about this contest--would have even purchased the game--until I did some searching and figured this out, too. There are some non-BioWare mod-making tools, but I don't think they'd work.
I have an old Windows machine that I almost never boot up anymore, but I don't think it will run NWN. Ah well.
Because it's an introduction and overview of LLCs and not a state-by-state reference that would need constant updating to keep you abreast of the latest rules, exceptions, etc. (which should be available online and could be out of date yet again as soon as the next edition gets printed), YES, I'd recommend going with the cheaper version.
Yes, the book talks about areas where LLC owners will not be able to use their Limited Liability status to protect personal assets. The book offers an overview of what LLCs are and aren't, to help readers determine whether an LLC is right for their businesses.

...that the snobs are just overexaggerating their influence again.
Yeah, I'm afraid I'm going to need you to sign an NDA...

Of the ones you mention I've used FantasticFiction more than once, perhaps because it came up first on the Google search.
There's the CBDB for comic books.
And The Locus Index for science fiction and fantasy works, featuring short stories (which is no small task).

I know it isn't fancy, but I wrapped a busted case with electrical tape and it was fine.

I'm all for being efficient, but a bungee cord? That's just lazy.
No badge for you.

So you attach a rope to a missile, fire the missile at the moon, and then pull it back when you're done. What's the problem here?
Yes, but those reading Slashdot on an e-Ink ereader use up precious battery life every time the display changes. You wouldn't want them to have to scroll, would you?

Also try Destinos.

I'm on a laptop you insensitive jerk!
But if I had an extra drive bay and all the hard drive space I needed, I'd go with a tape deck.
