Makes me glad that my phone doesn't have a camera. Of course it is a b/w display that can go a week between charges (with some use, not just standby), no internet browsing (does do SMS and internet email).
For those that have cameras, how often do you actually use the camera on the phone? And for the photos you take, what are they of? Did the camera on the phone fill a niche that wasn't there before you got it?
I wondered what was at the top of that ad (yesterday's on campus paper @ WSU had one of those ads. ) Interesting scanning the list, you have lots of "@KaZaA", "@fileshare", some "(DirectConnect)" and some "@Grokster" and some "(LimeWire)" I think I saw an "eDonkey". Most are either KaZaA or fileshare though.
Yes the hard drive in the XBox have other uses, but for most people they are only going to see them as memory card replacements, XBox Live content holders and soundtrack holders(a big use of the hard drive that can't be done with memory cards). The games will use the cache space offered, but the user doesn't need to know that.
It is only a small part of the population that use them for other uses.
I would conider the HD as a bad example. The games should be able to use both the HD and the memory cards to save things, so you don't have one listed if it isn't there, no big deal.
Of course, then all you have to do is make saves too big to fit on the memory card (I have a few games which do that in the Original Xbox, they won't fit on a offical Xbox 8MB memory card(500 blocks), although they will fit on my 32 or 128 MB usb memory stick (2000 and 8000 blocks). Or you require some things be saved on the HD and refuse to save them to a memory card.
Well you could get a PDA with a VOIP app running on it. For example, the Zaurus can have either KPhone/Pi or tkcPhone(demo version on their website). Both of those apps are SIP compatible.
So you get a PDA and a WiFi conectivity and there you go.
Probably not the best or most ideal solution, but it is something that does exist.
Except HTTPS uses the name and not the IP, so that if they got a cert that said they were www.somebank.com and the signer was a legitimate signer (or they convinced the user that they needed to accept that it was legit) it wouldn't set off the alarms.
Plus I'll agree that I doubt many people check the lock (or key or whatever) says it is encrypted. Part of the reason I have my brower set to tell me everytime I enter(or leave) an encrypted site.
Hmm, makes me wonder where people with speech dificulties fit in. (I'm thinking more about pronounciation problems, as that's what I had to deal with). BACKGROUND I spent from 3-13 years old being taught(in the public schools, yes I have ridden the short bus home a few times(when I was like 4)) how to speak and pronounce certain sounds(English: the R sound(think Elmer Fudd's pronounciation, I sounded like that), SH, CH, and one or two more I think). (Actually it wasn't just that, but also controlling the pitch of my voice because it was high I guess or something (I would have been 2-3 years old, so I don't remember too much and it wasn't done at the schools)). By the time I hit 9-10 years or so it went from learning and practicing to just practicing. /BACKGROUND When I was in kindergarden (about 5 years old) the other students could understand me and would "translate" for the teacher, who had a hard time understanding me. When I was at home my sister (about 7 years older then me) understood what I was saying better than my parents.
If everything he is using is already FCC ceritfied and he hasn't modified the actual equipment it shouldn't be a problem. Plus since he is working for the ISP he might have access to the propper equipment already. It is really when you go slapping power amps and antennas(or opening up the boxes and removing the shielding to get it into a smaller container) that aren't cerified by the manufacturer for use with that equipment that you might get into trouble. In the sense that they[manufacturer] can say that yes, using this combonation of equipment is still within the allowed part-15 regs.
Odds say that I could take 2 wireless APs set them up to bring the signal in, go via an ethernet cable to the other and rebroadcast it, put it in a big box, and sell it as a unit and not have problems. But I don't know that, it is just a good guess. Or a better way, include instructions to build the contents of this "box" with the 2 APs and set them up to just be in a bridge mode (or one be a DHCP server and the other be a bridge).
Don't forget the when the alternator light comes on to stop soon, because the cooling fan was/is on the same belt....(At least in my dad's it was(circa 1960-70s)). We wouldn't want that computer overheating now...
Isn't there something else, that with the anti-freeze/water mix it has a higher boiling point as well(as a lower freezing point)? Although if you are getting the water to boiling in your computer, I think you may have a problem.
Not cheap, but you're not really doing this to save money are you?
I was pricing some Gb stuff a few weeks ago, you can pick up sme Gb cards for <$30, and you can pickup a 5 port switch (if you don't want to just cross-over cable it) for <$100. Actually for just 1 stream, 10Mb/sec would almost be fast enough. I playback videos(XBox frontend, my desktop computer backend) and the link is only about 300-400 KB/sec(only Byte thing in this article, rest are bits), but the machine encoding them goes straight to MPEG4, and not the internal RTjpeg format. So 100Mb/sec would proabbly be plenty fast for just a stream.

1 Machine and 50 votes, that's really small sample size. Wouldn't it be better to do something like 1% of the machines to be used (or 5 or 10%, just pick a number) and have the number of people expeceted to use the machine use it(or have lots more people then expected, just to make sure it can scale it the future)?
But it doesn't do USB thumb drives (or anything via USB yet, unless that has been added in the last few months) on the Xbox nativly. Of course if you are doing network file shares, just plug the USB device into a network file server and go from there. Plus if you go software exploit you don't even have to pay for the mod chip (or the TSOP flash method), of course if you get a really new Xbox those (software & tsop) aren't really working and you would need the chip.
I haven't looked at to many of them, but they are likely just using either: RGB out, S-Video or Composite from the system. You might just have to crack one open and see what they are using, you should be able to find pinouts for the video game systems. (And If it uses RGB, it is probably using it at 15.75 KHz) (My personal favorite for pinouts is GameSX.)
The OpenXDK download seems to have docs in the docs directory. At least the CVS view, it shows the docs.
It seems to use a GCC toolchain, and the docs mention using Cygwin.
You will likely need a modded Xbox(unless they can get the stuff signed, highly unlikely) and then you will probably run stuff just like you would anything else, either burn it to a optical media with the executable called "default.xbe" or place it in a directory on the HD where the dashboard replacement scans.
When I disabled the "follow the web pages colors" so it used my default colors it didn't work. It did work when I had the "follow the web pages colors".
Quite why he chose not to include Mario 64 and Mario Sunshine, I dunno, but he looks pretty cool in them.
Perhaps he is focusing on the 2D style games where Mario is still (for most purposes) a sprite. Mario64 and Sunshine he is rendered in game. I will agree though, Sunshine he looks really nice (of course you can't really compare a gamesystem of now to a system built 20 years ago).
In my volvo('83 240) I had 4 Positions (Reading clockwise, with Off at about 11 o'clock, and about 1 hour or so to the next position): Off (where you could remove the key and steering wheel would be locked) I - Power to accessories, fan, steering unlocked II - Normal Running position, most everything on, status lights in dash III - Run starter - Cuts power to most everything that was on in I and II. Dash status lights were on as were headlights(if you had turned them on before starting the car).
So, if I knocked it from position II to I it would kill the engine, but not engage the lock.
Send the email to your self, click on the "keep copy in sent folder" (Or whatever). So for every message you get 1 GB down (of course I haven't read the terms and conditions for the contest, but it seems like a posible solution, either that or get 2 addresses and send back and forth).

They didn't pull them just because they looked alike, they pulled them because they were running pirated copies of their games.
A friend of mine saw one last year saw no copyright acknoledgements on the box.
