I have a rock that does that already. I will sell it to any body who wants it for $1,000,000 and no guarantee it will work on any day that ends in 'y' (according to the names of the days in the English language).
Just for a neighborhood in Sweden, but they had 100 Mb/sec fiber to the houses. A bit smaller than an entire town, but the basic idea is there. (Unfortunatley the page linked in the story isn't there, but here is the link through the Wayback Machine.
Friend's sister hit the max buddy limit on MSN at one point. (Had accidentaly merged her list and my friends list one day with Trillian). And she was competing with other people for the most buddies.
I think it depends on the monitor. Was playing Unreal Tournament on friend's roommate's LCD and didn't notice anything unusual when compared with a CRT (not on same computer, but general idea). Laptop LCD several years before had trouble with a movie clip @ 30 FPS and refresh taking about 0.5 seconds for it to completely fade away. (Added a interest effect to the video how ever)
I think it would have to do with limited space. If you have this you don't need both a monitor and a scanner. Less stuff on desk means more desk space.
At home we got a HP Laserjet 4 about Thanksgiving 1992 for I think $1100(don't quote me) Still works and works very nice. Page count to over 35,000 last I checked (about a year ago). Works fine. One point looking at it we had it doing 1000/pages a month (only like 3 months after my mom started doing lots of Ebay stuff).
Yearbook in High school, they got a HP LaserJet 1100(I think it was Spring 1999), worked fine until the pickup roller thing started sucking multiple pages at once. After we got the fix for that it worked just fine. On deadlines that would do a few hundred sheets in the two weeks or so leading up to it. So not super high load, but it held up.
Right now I got a HP LaserJet 1200 on my machine at college, have only printed 1797 pages so far, has postscript support and can do 1200 dpi, as well as using standard (I think) 100 pin SODIMMs to expand the memory. Got this thing in August 2002 for IIRC $400 and max volume/month accord to HP is about 10,000 pages. (yeah, like I'm really pushing it, although I am printing out the PDF files of my CS121 text out on it. Up to chapter 11 and 538 pages (2x sided so really 269 sheets of paper). Haven't been able to run it through a good hard endurance test, but so far it seems to do fine.
Inkjets may be nice for color inexpensively (compared to a color laser I mean), but for black and white gimmie my laser printer.
As for quality? Got a freeby color inkjet (about $200 I think) when we got a computer in 1996. Between the $35 for color ink (and the fact it is either black or the color in there) and it went so slow I have used it I think 3 times. So agreeing with other people, you get what you pay for.
It doesn't mention this but woulnd't this make the stuff easier to pirate? Just copy the movie off the hard drive, reencode to desired format, distribute.
Either he was removed or added, not sure which. Look underneith the tank and the colored bricks with the boy has a curve while the non-boy one does not. It may be rubble, but it seems kinda far from the boy to make it disappear. There is also the block thing on the cables to the upper left of his head in the photo without him. I guess I will agree with the consensus on that BBS and say they both seemed to have been touched. The only real answer will likely come from the guy who took the photo.

LCD Price Fixing?

I think that has more to do with the LCD having to withstand the heat from the light. And consider that the lights themselves seem to cost $100-$300 each....
Wasn't there a driver several years ago for a video card that allowed somehting like this? (Ok found/. story here.)
Why modify the game where they might be able to detect it when you can just play with drivers to do the same thing (assuming the game is sending all that to the video card already)
I have never seen a movie that made me feel so much like throwing up when you see his arm and the needle. It is also one of the scarier movies I have seen (although I usually avoid scary movies if their whole intenent is to scare). The music truely helps make this movie, listening to the music alone scares me(did it make an impact? yes)
I agree with my friends that it could make a good anti-drug movie to show in school health courses.
Under appreciated? I dunno, I just know I had not heard about it till after my friends had seen it.
The way it seems to be phrased even monitors are to be included in this
Please be aware that Office Depot is immediately requiring all products that connect to a Personal Computer and Notebook Computer must pass these Designed for Windows XP logo requirements to be considered for retail distribution through our stores.
I don't recall seeing a monitor with the "Designed for Windows logo on it," and the monitor certainly connects to the computer in a similar way that most mice and keyboards do (plug it in and it works with little to no setup)
True. I head to the WSU surplus prepriced sale/auction when they have it, more info here, and while the pre-priced is a little expensive for my taste, $45 for pentium 1 w/ 14" monitor, they have some great random stuff. Best yet: 2 arcade cabinets for auction. Ended up being $25/each. One had a working game board that sells used $900+, more about this in my journal.
President Skroob: 12345? That's amazing I have the same combonation on my luggage. Prepare SpaceBall-1 for immediate departure and change the combonation on my luggage.
I had a machine (on its 3rd motherboard, last 2 died, 1 of which had been purchased specificly for it) that is running 2.2.10 because I couldn't get the ppp stuff upgraded to work with 2.2.12 (clue to the last time I played with it). It is doing a firewall between home network and ISP (over 56K modem) and routing between the 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s networks at home (got some 10 only cards and a 100 only hub about 3.5-4 years ago).
I wanna watch a cartoon that is aimed at a more mature (high school+) audience. Most US cartoons I can think of don't fall into that catogory. Simpsons, Futurama are two I like to watch as well as Daria, oh and South Park (I think that is still considered animated). Beyond that there isn't much I enjoy that is recent (Ok, lemme be picky, I liked Dexter's Lab at one point but I aged a few years looked at it and started asking questions and thinking. How are the parents ignoring all the stuff that happens? ) The anime is interesting and I enjoy watching it as they do try and tackle some more complex themes and often times it has a bit more belivable story line and it does a better job of answering questions I might have. Cowboy Bebop(the series) for example looks more into the past of the characters during the series and you see something believable(for the most part) and it gives the viewer a way to associate with the characters.
What qualities do I use to think if it is good? If it is interesting to me its good. If it is funny thats a plus. If it is stupid/dumb I might avoid it but if I come across an episode or 2 I'll watch and see how it is presented, maybe change my mind. It is more personal preference than anything else.
Remember the bit about what Cartoon Network had to deal with for Cowboy Bebop (it was either that or Outlaw Star) when they missed a Star of David on a slot machine in one episode, they had parents threating to sue. (/. article mentioning that editing here). I think it is the general, oh its a cartoon its good/ok for kids idea. But yeah, if "Knocking on Heaven's Gate" had been something different it might have been left alone.
NBA on NBC showtime and NFL Blitz '99 in a single board (flip a dip to select) has the quantom board based on the 3DFX chipset and it displays the logo. Standard PCI plug into the main board, VGA 15Pin style plug, and it even has the plug on the card for 3d googles. Has a hard drive that loads a something.exe when starting the game but no other logos displayed when loading that.
The first time we had 4 players working on it we locked up it just reset itself after about 7 seconds, go watchdog timers.
This is kinda computer, kinda video games. An arcade board that when plugged into power sat for about 5 seconds, then a capacitor blew(I like fire but not on a game that sells used for $960).
Call up the service line, they tell us that is common when 12volts is on the 5 volt line. Rewired plug, replaced capacitor. Now it works fine. We, my friend and I, are determined that the people who had this last were idoits(my journal has more abhout this). Oh well it looks good in a dorm room (4 player started as TMNT cabinet(several games later)(with board I "fried"), 2 player MK2 cabinet(no game yet), $25/each @ school surplus auction).
or do what I had to do when we forgot the password on a box, init=/bin/sh drops you right into a shell prompt, no runlevels, follow that with a "mount/" and you got root mounted (maybe it was "mount / -o remount"), of course you need to make sure the / gets unmounted unless you want a fsck check next boot (journalling file systems should still be unmounted too).
If you have physcial access and no password has been set on the bios or bootprompt from modifing the command it is easy to bypass anything. (BIOS because why should the machine boot from anything but the hard drive once it is setup?).
Not sure on the Xbox or PS2 but on the PS1 some sectors were marked with what appeared as errors on something that the burner generated and the rest of the computer wasn't invovled in. (From quick skims appears the PS2 has something similar, and the Xbox has that reverse DVD format or something, hardware copy protection)
The main thing they are dealing with is that is allows the consoles to boot copied discs and out of region discs (like region encoding with DVD players).
I also know that I have seen modchips (at least for PS1) that don't let you play copies but would let you play out-of-region disks (region free DVD player like).

It's called Homeplug for the network over powerlines w/in the house, read about the spec getting completed here.

how about a 120GB firewire/usb2.0 drive? (instant seek)
Don't like to reply to myself, but 2nd read brought up the DRM part. But if people want to pirate it they will find a way arround that DRM, right?

Article says the original missions were for about 21 months. But that doesn't say anything for how long it will actually last.
