I don't know much about this device and don't really care to learn anything, but if you can watch anime and type in Japanese, it would rule! A big step closer to being this guy.
Now hopefully there will be less spam in the descriptions and searches can become relevant again. E-Bay isn't a place to run a business; it's a place to sell shit you don't want.
40% of music downloads are legal and 35% are legal.
That must mean that 75% of music downloads are in fact music downloads. What did they do? Ignore certain genres?
Despite the high "awful" and "dumb" factors of the DMCA and Patriot Act, you must remember that courts do function in a sorta-real world.
The virus writer would have to write a program that pretty much breaks into your computer and puts itself into your computer. His lawyer would have the daunting task of proving that despite the fact that his client is a criminal who planted the program on the machine by its design, the person whose computer is infected is still at fault for having it. It would never work, even with the DMCA.
Higher capacity tends to mean longer load times. Also, Sony's support of Blue-Ray and not HD-DVD in the PS3 won't add up to anything as far as swinging the market since nobody watches DVD's on a PlayStation.
Very well stated. I can only hope they don't fuck up as bad with the upcoming Indiana Jones movie. If they make the ass-kickingest hero ever look bad, cinema itself will finally be robbed of its last bit of glory.
That's not an example of censorship. It's a bad thing that happened to them, yes, but they were able to say it.
Censorship is preventing something from being expressed, not harassing somebody who already said something. Censorship definitely exists in the United States; that's what the FCC does to TV and radio with their "obscenity" rules. I know the FCC is trying to replace what parents should be doing (and perhaps doing more sinister things), but I challenge you to prove to me that there is more censorship in the USA than China.
They're going to try the "my friend put the crack in my glove compartment" line. It doesn't work in the real world; it won't work for data on a hard drive, either.
Actually, Martians prefer to beam messages directly into our brains or abduct us to tell us personally, which is why I use a thought screen.

That's the reason that they change car designs every few model years.
See, if the junkyard fills up with semi-useful, people take the parts off of those cars and use them to replace broken parts on their new cars since a brand new car can have most of the same parts as a two or three year old car.
What that does is keep people from buying new cars. To limit the usefulness of old parts, auto makers simply redesign some of the parts so that they don't fit.
See, they've been doing the exact same thing as Microsoft for a while!
The porn industry isn't trying to portray great sex. Great sex isn't something you can convey in a movie.
It's something you experience. It's not something you experience with a stranger or a vibrating Nintendo controller and a tissue. It's far to deep to explain in a videogame; they will never succeed at making sex much more than a story element.
I've still got a N64 and all the stuff that goes with it. What I'm looking for is a system that will play the N64 games at 60 fps instead of emulating a real N64 and play them at 15-20 FPS as many N64 games orginally played.
An addon for the system that would let you insert an N64 cartridge to play the game would also be great.
I'm in college and I can't get a job that respects my intellect, either. During the summer I do construction. I'm no good at making stuff at all. I come up with ideas that are brilliant but my boss is too scatter brained to implement them even though they'd save him lots of money.
You know what? I get paid $7.50 an hour to get the same job as the highschool dropouts I work with. That's more than any of my friends get paid. You know what else? The reason you get paid to do something is because it sucks so bad that almost nobody is willing to do it for free.
Nexuiz will be your answer to the FPS problem as soon as a few bugs get ironed out. I just tried it and it's great for somebody who enjoys more "hardcore" shooting.

Google already does it. Try to buy something on Froogle and you'll eventually notice that half of the listings are from shitty E-Bay "businesses".
The names of the companies will usually say something other than E-Bay, but if you click on enough, you'll find them for sure.

That's kinda cool, but I'm sure somebody can do better.

He promised to make Star Wars get even worse than he managed to do the last three times. How will he do this?
He'll do it weekly with a TV series!
If you lose the penis measuring contest, try the brain measuring contest. Just what some people need need, something else to bitch about.

But can the straw out-flow the rain every few days? Wait...this is going way too far!
Well, the giant isn't exactly falling. I'm sure that to the winner of the lawsuit, it felt great to get paid loads of money for his patent.
To Microsoft and the billions upon billions of dollars under their control, however, it's like trying to drain a lake by siphoning it through a straw.

Moore's law wins again! Well, probably.
I never have and hopefully never will; but, if I need to, I'd like to stand a chance.
And then they make them illegal so that we can't properly protect ourselves from the government and thugs since they're the only ones that have them.
Actually, those aren't machine guns anyway. The MP5's are submachineguns because they fire pistol ammunition, not full sized ammunition.
