What stops Sony from doing the same. These will be the standard systems for the next 5-7 years. I think that right now it may be hard to fill a blue-ray disk with data for a game, but who knows what will happen in 2,3,5 years? I think leaving yourself the option to add more content cant hurt you.
9 gigs is alot, but imagine the incredible ammount of contect a game in 5 years could have. HD graphics(i assume) takes up lots of space. If you wantted to creat a huge world to explore, being limited by data cant be good.
Ive already esen Xbox games hada are a full dual layer DVD, dont tell me you wont ever need more for a 360 game. And as someone else stated, swaping disks just gets annoying.
Yeah We heard
This is a stupid move. The fact that sony will be abel to add 5X the content to their games gives them the edge. Sure right nwo while PS3 is $600+, xbox will win, but in 2 years when the price levels out...you would have to be stupid to buy a 360 of a PS3.
You forgot to account for why they kicked my Dog;)
I dont expect to see anything, if there is nothing to see, why is it classified? Yes the released the 1 video that every one saw, they not all the video from other building accross the street, or anything else. How is there not 1 other video of teh plane crashing? If there is, please, post a link to it.
"Please do remember that Saddam Hussein made a habit of thumbing his nose at the United Nations, and that instead of following up on all its condemnations of his actions,"
Lets not forget how many UN resolutions teh US has Vetoed? How many world court dicissions they ahve ignored(Guatamala to name 1) The UN is only right when its conviniat for the USA. Lets also not forget that yes, in the past Saddam defied the UN, true, but also lets not forget the UN EXPLICITLY said that you USA has NO RIGHT to attack iraq at that point, for that reason, and yet they chose to do so anyway.
If the USA doest have to listen to the UN, then who said Iran has to stop uranium enrichment? North Korea has to stop missle tests. By america doing what it wishes, they are opening the door for others to do the same, and they can all say, if america doest have to listen, why do we?
Yes, the US constitution does not say that, but the US HAS signed the Geneva Conventions, and now has gone agaaint what they have pleged. If this does not count as a war crime, then i dont know what does. If not even 1 American Soldiar/Officer/Legislator/etc is not charged with anything at the Hauge, then justice is not served.
"Which part of the constitution does the wiretaps violate?"
The right to free speach and privacy? I belive thats in there somewhere. Is this not the core of the consitution? FREEDOM?
"If you were in your favorite spot, under the bushes behind your neighbors house smoking crack like usual, and you heard him talking about his plans to go to his girlfriends workplace and kill everyone, you obviously wouldn't warn anyone. That would be "unconstitutional"."
A, i dont smoke Crack, B, that is something that was done unintentioanlly. If i had decided, hey, my neighbour is kinda suspicous, im going to tap his phone, get a parbolic mike, and sit in the bushes record everything he does, to see if MAYBE he is goign to do something illegal, then even if you heard him "talking about his plans to go to his girlfriends workplace and kill everyone" you could tell everyone, have him arrested, but you should still be charged for breaking the law.
What ever happened to "The ends dont justify the means"
WHile we are at it, lets just break into everyone house and see if they are doing anything illegal? Maybe they ahve a bomb? or some crack? or an unliscenced gun? you can't be sure, so lets just screw the constitution, and search everyone. That sounds about right.
Maybe, just maybe, they could so some realy work, take the extra few days to setup a congressional committee, im sure if its REALLY REALLY important, you can get something togethr, and if you cant, then taht is a problem on its own. Get the warrent and tap waht you need at that point.
Im not saying let the poeple out who have done wrong things, they ahve done wrong things, and Americas screw up should not result in them going free. What i am saying is that america need to stick to its own rules of Freedom of Speach, and all the other things that they keep telling the world they are fighting for, while they take them away from their own Citizens.
Do it legally, do it right, and tehre is no problem. Just because you are the president, does not mean you do not have to listen to laws.
the universal answer:
"The U.S. government said it was within the president's powers to order the eavesdropping, but argued that proving its point would require disclosure of national secrets."
how can proving that something is within the presidents power be a disclosure to national secrets? Are we not supposed to know what the man/woman we elect to lead our(your) country can and cant do while they are in power.
They do what they want, and if anyone questions it, they say that its would disclose a national secret, or be a risk to national security.
When will we leave Iraq? We cant say, its a risk to national Security.
Why are people being help without charge? Risk to National Security
Why cant we see the confiscated video of planes crashing into the pentagon? Risk to national Security
Why did you kick my dog? Risk to Natioanl security.
Its is the be-all and end-all to any conversation, and if you try to fight it, they tell you you are supporting the terrorists. Why is wanting to know what your ELECTED government is doing so bad?
Check this out for more information on why this should happen. There are pages and pages of inforamtion as to why this President should be impeached, and i dont understand why he is getting off scott free, and Clinton went all the way through to the sent. Clinton did now start any wars on a lie(this is arguable), but bush has been proven to have lied for the reasons for starting the Iraq war. Hopefully once the democrats win back congress, this may happen
I think that this is the best news this year. This means that the wiretaping *should* stop, and if it doesnt, who ever is doing it, will be breaking the Law
This has clearly been against the constitution since it began, and since it was not appoved by congress, shoudl never have been done. Does anyone know of a amendment to the constitution giving the president the right to disregard the consitution? If this continues, and bush still knows about it, then it is definatly reason enought to impeach him, if there has been enought so far.
Then maybe you should get a shirt? Then you can take your message with you! And If they dont notice, tell them its a holiday, and their email will have to wait till monday...
PC's!!! Think of how mnay Millions of PC are left on over night all around the world....sucking away millions of dollars in Energy just sitting there with the logon screen up, because somone is to lazy to shutdown their PC, because they acnt wait for it to boot for a minute the next day.
From TFA: "Based on Tuesday's closing prices, Apple shares this year had declined 26 percent, compared with a 12 percent decline in the Morgan Stanley High Technology Index , of which Apple is a component. Apple stock more than doubled in 2005, after tripling in 2004, largely on booming sales of the iPod."
That a sharp drop in share prices after 2 years of huge growth. Altho their revenu and profits are good, why is their share price going down? I think its the fact that people realize: a) You can only sell so many ipods, as more products come out, and more people already have them, they will sell less and less ipods b) Intel Macs are over prices, and i belive that sales will slow once the "newness" passes.
Profits are good, but when your stock starts to fall after 2 years of going up sharply, that has to be a sign of something t come?
I was commenting more so about this not being big news, because what can u expect for a newer release of a beta, it would be news if it got worse. All im saying is that we did not need to hear this, because its the same rehashed story every few weeks.
New beta realeased, BETTER THEN OLD BETA!! OMG! this is amzing news, who could have ever predicted this 1!? I would have made the same comment if there was a post Linux-2.6.18-rc2 released, MORE STABLE THEN 2.6.18-rc1
Seriously, New Beta is more stable then Old Beta. A company takes the advice from beta testers and fixes issues the everyone complaines about. Congratulations M$, you have amazed us all again!
I agree, SSH would be incredible on something like this. Its cheaper then buying a PDA(is there ssh for PDA's?) or something like a laptop. Only problem would be slow input, altho with a touch screen, you could tap characters relativly quickly.
Something like this would be good for a System Admin on the run(As opposed to?) who does not want to lug around a laptop. You could keep it connected at all times, and even just run a system monitor, so u can keep an eye on what happening, and if u need to make any changes you could do it from wherever you are.
Thanx for the info, ill defiantly check it out next time im around there. Could it be something comming out of CIty hall? It is close by? Or perhapse a Unencrypted office network? Ive never read anything about this, and i would have thought it would make the news.
I Now i can re-read all the comments i read the other day, and new exciting comments about those comments....hmmm where have i seen people discussing these comments before?
Toronto? There are hotspots at places like Union Station, and around some coffee shops, but that is FAR from the entire downtown core. There is no 1 network covering the whole area so u can walk around surfing, not that i have ever seen. I used to lug around my Laptop as a mp3 player, and i would pull it out sometimes durring lunch, or waiting for bus/train(i work downtown) and see what i can catch. I dont think i ever connected to anything. The ones that u can see at union and the coffee shops are all Payed services, and on a a summer students salary, i can hardly afford the rediculous rates the are charging. Now i could see this being useful for Places that have widepread wifi for free, but who wants to pay that much money, to browse the web on a couple inch wide screen?
I guess you right, people never get screwed. All those poeple that worked at enron for 10 years, and lost everything, its THIER fault, they shoudl have tried harder. Your right, the CEO wasnt wront, he was just trying harder, and he got the rewards. If only the stupid justice system didnt interfer and maybe the rich could get richer while screwing the poor. ANd this iis not the only example. How much did the CEO of walmart make last year? How many of his employees can barly aford to keep their Kida fed. And you know what else, we NEED people to work at walmart, mcdonalds, etc. Not every1 can have a sweet corporate job. All im saying is that Mr. CEO deos not need 1000X more then the guy who cleans his floor and empties out his garbage at the end of the night. Sure he is entitles to more, he did try harder, but why does Average Joes kids have to suffer becasues daddy cant afford their medecine, because the CEO needed a Tax break, because they were taking away too much of his multi million dollar salary
People should be rewarded for trying harder, yes....but this does not mean we have to screw the guy down the street.
If your in a emergency room, you might have hundreds of tools that you need quick access to. You dont have time to count, or probobly the mental dextarity to remember to count, the number of tools your using when your trying to save someones life. You need to concentrate on what your doing, not on how many clamps you've used.
and the inequalities of the American way of life come out. 1 person gets to live life and too much. while the guy down the street cant afford to feed his family. But you know, its "ME, ME, ME" world....As long as im happy, who cares if they guy down the street can get his pills, or feed his kida...LOOK AT MY NEW TV!!
they should use this
if size matter, u cant been the size of Tomato Seed. All the tools could be put down on a sensor pad, and it could tell if everything has been returned, or have a running list of what is not on the pad ATM.

What stops Sony from doing the same. These will be the standard systems for the next 5-7 years. I think that right now it may be hard to fill a blue-ray disk with data for a game, but who knows what will happen in 2,3,5 years? I think leaving yourself the option to add more content cant hurt you. 9 gigs is alot, but imagine the incredible ammount of contect a game in 5 years could have. HD graphics(i assume) takes up lots of space. If you wantted to creat a huge world to explore, being limited by data cant be good. Ive already esen Xbox games hada are a full dual layer DVD, dont tell me you wont ever need more for a 360 game. And as someone else stated, swaping disks just gets annoying.
