After posting our (appropriate) indignation on/., how many of us jumped to our senators' websites and left a comment voicing distate and/or disdain for the plan? (I went before posting this question.) It would be great to be able to get an accurate answer because when these types of YRO posts happen, I often wonder about the "so what?" response. How many/.'s consider themselves to be activists? (And maybe that would be an Ask Slashdot topic instead of this.)
More particularly, modern Hebrew uses vowels where Hebrew in the bible does not. Then there is the issue of "trop" which are symbols that give guidance to the melodic pronunciation of words used when reading the Torah during the service.
But isn't the fact that you need to "buy" an Internet connection when you buy/use the Xbox an example of some sort of illegal bundling? Or would that only be the case if MS owned and sold the Xbox and the connection? Not trying to troll, just curious.
Funny, those were the only two I liked. The cast of the first worked quite well together (although the smarmy character who joins at the end was a touch too smarmy) and if you like The Onion humor as well as things like Police Squad then the second is perfect.
The Congressional Research Service's definition of an HVE (Homegrown Violent Extremist) event is a "terrorist activity or plots perpetrated within the United States or abroad by American citizens, legal permanent residents, or visitors radicalized largely within the United States."
Thinking and puzzle solving (to a greater extent it's why people still mention Myst, although that was problem solving and really neat scenery). They were fun, with memorable characters and funny catch phrases ("I'm Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirateâ). They weren't twitchy, blow-things-up-to-solve-problems games.In some, the characters had continuity between games and in others they were tied to movies of which we had fond memories (Indiana Jones and Star Wars).
It sucks, but it's not surprising: "Hey potential advertiser, I have 5 million people able to watch cable TV, even if they don't want to" is a lot more attractive to Potential Advertiser then, "Hey potential advertiser, I have 5 million Internet users who don't give a crap about what's on TV."
Going back a few days later to "test" if they fixed it = bad
He reported it. He shouldn't have signed the NDA (assuming it was legal; did the company have the enforceable ability to make him do so?) so that if he wanted to know if it was fixed, contact them again and let them know that it's in their best interest to so as he plans on contacting The Register or/. and tell them what he found. Embarrass the school into fixing it, or, if they haven't, open them to a lawsuit if any privacy information is leaked. He had no authority to test the security of the system himself.
Instead of being "frustrated that American technology companies that dominate its digital economy are largely beyond the reach of French fiscal authorities" try kickstarter-type projects encouraging your own folks to create France-based sites that can compete and dominate your own digital economy. If they're good enough then citizens of other countries might come to _your_ sites and you can charge whatever the heck you want.
When my wife was going through chemo she really couldn't move from the couch. I picked up WoW because I hadn't played anything similar since a MUD years and years prior and it was the only one I could play on my MBP. I sat on the couch playing it on my laptop and she sat next to me, watching, helping and having a good time. After she got better, she had enjoyed watching me play so she opened an account and since then we've played together. That was around eight years ago (although we took a break playing for a couple of years). That got her into other games, like the Mario ones on the Wii.
We've got about 500 of our DVDs ripped so far and about another 200 to go. I'm ripping them as MKVs and storing them across a few drives on a win7 box. They're being streamed wirelessly by the same box to our iPads, Xbox, laptops and two Roku devices (not all at once. I think we've had two or three devices at once.) We use Plex as the streaming server and so far I've been ok with it. I think more than half the time it pulls down the wrong metadata for the movies so I've been using a third-party app to populate the data. We use Netflix, amazon streaming and pandora via the built-in functionality. One thing: we're using PlayOn to view content from some sites but in general it sucks. Waaaay too slow to load video, it's My Media function (which I thought might have been an alternative to Plex is crap, with one of the worst UI's I've ever seen.

They can't remember where they left the 'Meanderings of Memory' book?
> EVE came first.
Well, I guess the chicken finally has his answer.
Thanks for the clarification. The analogies are excellent :)

> Horsehoes don't really exist.
Sure they do. They just charge more by the hour and it's tough to get a hotel room that will let them in.

Yes, but does it run linux? Regardless, your machine has no wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.
First I hope they resist arrest.
The question was related to Lucas games not those by Williams or id Software.

Actually, MASH was set in Korean but was actually intended as commentary on the war in Vietnam.

> Have there been any "gotta have it" applications for the Kinect?
For us, yeah: Netflix. The ability to control it via voice is great. If you mean games? None to speak of.
> Mythbusters use the scientific method to test claims.
It's true, and if you forget what the methods are, stick around until after the commercials when they'll spend five minutes reminding you.
It just made sense for them to do that. After all, they get more sunshine there.
Pointing it out = Good.

What if you work in a facility that won't allow devices like cellphones, bluetooth, etc?

The computer or the user?
Didn't China just have a railway accident in the last couple of years that killed a bunch of folks. Turned out it was shoddy construction?
