...And pair it with VOIP, and you should be able to save the cost of the phone over time, assuming the phone works as advertised. A cell phone that you can call all over the world for "free".
Yeah, it would be interesting to see the server do that. If they could get that to work, I would buy one.
The only problem is that iTunes ALWAYS stores the XML library file in "My Documents" on Windows. They could probably get around this by creating(or adapting) software to sync the library. From what I have seen, the XML format is pretty easy to detangle, and could be re-created by a 3rd party program.
I know exactly what you are saying. These are basically just "stands" for the Mac Mini. But hey, the company got a free advertisement that will probably drum up some sales. They are smarter than me in that respect, and will probably be laughing all the way to the bank.
I blame you for such blatant stereotyping of people because they are of a certain political persuasion.
In fact, I think that your attitude is exactly why Kerry isn't in the White House today. Honestly, who is going to vote for a candidate who comes off as very elitst when all of his supporters act incredibly elitist, saying things like you are, that Republicans are bible thumping rednecks, and other assorted insults. It simply alienates a lot of people who wouldotherwise vote for you, even if they disagreed with your moral viewpoints a little bit.
Lastly, grouping people like that makes you look less intelligent.
This software tags every movie/music file, merely "virtually" all files.
I love how when i ran it, it picked up the MP3's I had gotten from a local band first. And apparently, it doesn't pick up i2hub as a P2P app, but does pick up both Soulseek and Azureus.
Exactly. The federal government needs to come in sometimes, when it is clear that leaving it up to the states will harm the rights of citizens.
For example: Civil Rights. In the 1960's, would you allow the states to decide if discrimination was legal? All the southern states would make life very hard for blacks if left to their own devices at that point in time.
My friend works as a consultant, and he was consulting at a company where they decided to outsource some programming to Russia. They get the program shortly before the deadline, and it DOESN'T WORK!!!
So they take the program, rip out all the shit (a surprising percentage of it), and rewrite the whole thing pretty much from scratch in the course of a week. They finally get it working, and hand it into the boss, without telling him how badly they got fucked by the outsourcing. The boss is impressed by the quality of the code, and decides that the next project they do should be sent to the same firm. Luckily, my friend wasn't around the next time they went with the low-cost outsourcing.
Yeah, and it's not even the worst one. I just put it in there for users of text to image, because I keep telling one of the developers that he needs to put in a check so that it doesn't attempt to render really large pictures.
(There is an 18000x18000 picture that ruins people even with high-end machines using text to image.)
Linus is one of the most peculiar people. He is the most grounded, nice guy in Linux... yet many who follow him are narrow minded zealots. Its truely amazing that more people don't try to follow his example
Cable can broadcast whatever they want. There was a Supreme Court Decision on it. From what I understand though, the reason why Cable channels don't just broadcast hardcore pornography is that they want to keep their advertisers.
This is why MTV is so tame. MTV could allow uncensored rap/nudity/etc, but the advertisers are too conservative to alow such a thing. It's just capitalism at work.
I have used Minibrowser, but it doesn't allow creation of HTML profiles/away messages, and I couldn't stand the fact that file transfers wouldn't work if the person wasn't also using Trillian.
From what I understand, dense flash storage like this would become corrupted in seconds when subjected to the harsh environment of space, despite the sheilding that these flash memory cells have.
Of course, I could be wrong, but am pretty sure that this new tech isn't nearly hardened enough to survive space.
The advantage of the D70 is that I will be able to mount one of these on my D70 when I get one this summer, so basically, I get 5 extra stops of shooting latitude (f 2.8 compared to my 24-120 that does 5.6, plus VR offers 3 extra stops worth of shot steadyness)
Some of the photos won't be very good and maybe the _proportion_ of good shots goes down, but the _quantity_ of good shots goes up.
I have to disagree with you a bit. Ever since getting my D70, I have had more and more "keepers" compared to the total amount of pictures I have taken due to the fact that I am getting more practice(I usually take my camera out every day), and the instant feedback lets me know if something I tried works or not. It has been teaching me a lot about photography.
I just got a D70, and am extremely happy. I already had a nice lens (Nikkor 24-120G VR AF-S Lens) and flash, so it was a no brainer. After selling my old body, it was about $500 to upgrade, and considering how much I spend on film and developing, I saved money.
Some Advantages of Digital for me (I shoot Concerts): -ISO 1600 is very usable, enabling VERY low light pics like this one. -Auto White Balance (or simply the ability to change it) alows me to go from outside to inside to inside w/flourescent lights -I can carry the equivalent of 4 rolls of film on a 1GB CF card, which is more than enough most of the time.
I think this is the right track. Paying for results, instead of a promise is the way I would like to see things get done. It would probably greatly boost the rate at space advances happen, because there would be money in the solutions, as opposed to money prolonging the problems.
Well, I am going to bet that a large part ofmy position is because I am an able-bodied 18 year old male, but I see older people with all their problems and I can't stand the thought of relying on pills to keep me alive.
Also, I don't mean that I would want to just live for 50 years and die, I meant that I would prefer to live a full life and then die, rather than dragging on with the aid of pills/random therapy. However, the way they explain this, ti would seem as it would slow down the aging process as a whole.
Actually, some guy was talk to me about this. He was saying something about how the earth wasn't developed and had no protection from UV for some obscure reason, so that bacteria and virii would be eliminated naturally.
I really didn't feel like arguing with him, so I just listened to his theory. He failed to take into account the other reasons why people die, such as the degradation of our genetic code that occurs over multiple generations of cell division
I personally would rather live 50 good, full years, and die gracefully, than live 1000 years dependent on all sorts of pills and not really living life.

Im pretty surprised the parent got modded as insightful instead of funny.

I for one, welcome our new overtime, slave-driving overlords, Electronic Arts.
Have you or have not you ever contributed code to the communist operating system, Linux?

Ill come back when they support HTML profiles/away messages, and fix file transfers.
I wouldn't worry too much.
