I doubt the latency of cellphones communicating wirelessly to a relay hanging from a balloon would be any different from them communicating wirelessly to a relay on a tower
There's a chain of movie theatres in the UK called "Warner Villages" (run, unsurprisingly by Warner). I haven't noticed any sort of favouritsm towards Warner films.
I'd have thought it's in their best interests to show any film, if it's goint to get good box office takings, since they get their profits that way, afterall.
The GBC didn't have a backlight either, and neither did the original gameboy. The only model to come with a built in light was a model called the "Gameboy Light" that was only released in Japan
I'd guess he was trying to say that most users don't need an ultra powerful PC. His Aunt and her ancient machine can out perform him on his high spec box at the task that she uses it for (word processing).
Well I don't want to run Deluxe Paint because PPaint is so much better. And yes, there have been many times when it's been much easier to fire up UAE and do a task in PPaint than to use Photoshop or PSP
The whole "why region TV shows" issue is something that confuses me too. Recently I bought 2 BBC DVD box sets, Fawlty Towers, and The Blue Planet (a documentary series about the sea)
Now Blue Planet is region 0 (i.e. will play on any player), but Fawlty Towers is region 2.
The only possible answer I could think of was that Blue Planet was a joint BBC / Discovery Channel production, and the Discovery Channel wanted to sell it outside Europe
Nope, it comes out with.com's as well (.com's that are uk-based, that is)
The option only appears in the non-dotcom versions of google (such as google.co.uk or google.fr) and appears as a radio button option under the search box to let you choose between searching everything, or just sites in the given country
So you just go to the uk site, click the "pages from the UK" radio button and type "bicycle shops"
Well I just found the same info about the kernal file, by doing the highly technical thing of opening it in notepad and looking at all the readable text inside.
The first 2/3 of the file is actual code, so just looks like random rubbish in notepad. Once you get past there though, you start seeing chunks of readable text, all related to Trillian's MSN messenger connection code.
Here's a snippet

This is only true if the groups are very large (say each group contains half of the country). Then in that case, yes, it would be a disadvantage to give the other group more money, since it would devalue the currency.
In the case of small groups, giving one person more money than another isn't going to effect the economy, and I seriously doubt any of the people in the experiment are worrying about the strength of the currency when they make their decision.
Well in the game, the freeloaders weren't so much cheating, as just playing in an anti-social way. The article says nothing about freeloading being against the rules, but it's obviously irritating to the players who actually invest
The big problem is that for a game to boot up on a GBA, the ROM has to have the correct header information, which includes code copyrighted by Nintendo (part of which is the NINTENDO logo that appears when you turn on the GBA with a kart in)
You can't produce a working game without including this game, and if you do without licence, you risk the chance of being sued for copyright infringement
Of course other companies have got away with it in the past (Often being sued by one of the big console firms) but afaik, the law has always come out in favour of the games developer, not the hardware manufacturer

Red and green may be opposite each other on the colour wheel, but have you ever tried reading red text on a green background (or vice versa?)

Right?
You can't be certain. He might have read all 40 pages in 5 minutes, if he's an android or something
Well there are plenty of screengrab tools available on Aminet
As pointed out earlier, it's most likely that a photo was used to show the OS running on a laptop, rather than just to show what the OS looks like

How about the wayback machine's caches? (as this page has been around since August 2000)

It "fixes" most of the links (a few still sometimes point back to the original site, but often or not a refresh will fix that)
Though oddly, Walking with Dinosaurs is region 2+4
Maybe they just roll dice, or something

I doubt the BBC would be allowed to include the text of the novels, as they don't hold the copyright to them.

Or try using google.co.uk which has a "search only sites in the UK" option
Yeah, that article mentions the new MS technologies "Mira" and "Freestyle"
I guess "Hawk" and "Skater" will be following soon...

I understood the original point perfectly
Set the bios to not boot from HDD, or put in a HDD that's too small to be usable for anything bar log files
Exactly, so the act if giving 10 people $3, and 10 other people $4 is hardly going to effect the value of the dollar
You are the weakest link...

only make people more desperate to get hold of the thing.
In the case of computer games, which would you rather:
A kid walks into a shop, hands over his pocket money and walks away
with the game.
-or-
A kid logs into a Warez site and downloads the game, along with a few
virii and an assortment of nasty porn that pops up along the way.
(This also applies to age ratings too, of course - if a child is desperate
to see that 18 rated movie or play that 18 rated game, a way will be found)
Then again, in Haskell I was never quite sure what I was implementing either
