I like what i am hearing in terms of hardware (as powerful as my family's old gateway astro and awesome resolution for the display size, but I think the keypad could use some work, the round arrow keys i see as a problem, the first thing i would get with it would be one of those folding or soft rubber keyboards and the second would be a big CF card to boost the storage, 128 is kinda small
a 1:1 translation of any book to film is impossible
You haven't watched the Hitchhiker's Guide to the galaxy Movie It is pretty much Line by line from the book series, it's long as hell too, 1:1 translations are possible, just not very interesting
I wonder if Lawsuits or threats of Jailtime for DMCA violation will be the end result, i really hope Nokia Takes the High-Road on this and just tries to improve their DRM/copy protection.
Well if the UN gets "control" of naming it will only have control of people who use the UN's DNS servers, anyone with access to the current ICANN DNS (anyone at all) could copy it, preserve current names and build on it as a seperate registrar, as long as most people and ISP's know better than to switch to the UN DNS then the UN can do whatever the hell thay want and nobody will care, China won't care since they have the firewalls in place anyways and would probably rather not have to mess with all their hardware and infrastructure and if enough people call up their ISP's and demand that DNS be preserved and linked to whoever does an unofficial replacement for the ICANN root DNS then the UN will, as usual, be pissing into the wind. it will be interesting if primary DNS does end up fractured, then browsers would have to have some kind of DNS control available from the address bar such as UN>http:// and ICANN>http://
Digital Cameras are hurting and will continue to hurt Wedding photographers for two reasons,
1) Digital "developement" is free and thus enough pictures can be taken that there will be sufficient good ones and alot of imperfections that would "ruin" a 35mm photo are just a few clicks away from being fixed 2) The digital age has removed the demand for posters and prints for everyone in the family, just upload and email to the whole family
actually a "bullet time" matrix effect was implemented in a Ut2k3 mutator, i think it was called "monkey matrix", and it worked pretty good. the developers of Max Payne just didn't try hard enough.
and i will be laughing my ass off when someone creates a palladium worm that not only infects EVERY palladium machine connected to the internet, but is able to mess with the encryption so that nothing can be accessed on any of those machines. Imagine a virus that operates on a layer below software and uses network interfaces that slip under both software firewalls and security monitoring. Palladium's release will usher in a Golden Age of unstoppable virii and virus writers identities cloaked by the same technology that was meant to stop them.
Though I am a strong advoate of copyright/patent reform myself, that does not mean copyright is useless. Without copyright Microsoft could take GPL'ed code, slap it in their software and sell it.
and without copyright you could crack Microsoft software and give it away for free, so it balances quite nicely, the greedy can take what they want but won't make any money while those creating for recognition and the benefit of all will do well.
well, YOU may have lost the desire for real world women.
Personally i think the whole thing is far less Stupid than the Real Life equivilant, with each entry actually requiring talent and artistic skill rather than just genetic good luck.
It would make alot more sense to make the NAV software free to download but you'd have to pay to get access to VDF's that were newer than 6 months, that way it's easy to install and the software would warn the user on bootup if they didn't have a subscription.
something like (ignore syntax, im a bit rough on c++.... its been a while
class importantValue()
{
private:
int a=0 b=0 c=0 d=0 e=0;
public:
void addOne();
int getTotal();
};
void importantValue::addOne()
{
a++; b++; c++; d++; e++;
}
void importantValue::getTotal()
{
if((a+b+c+d+e)/5!=a)
{
cerr^^"Warning, Internal data corruption detected"^^endl^^"values"^^a^^' '^^b^^' '^^c^^' '^^d^^' '^^e^^endl^^"do not match"
stop;
}
return a;
}
Now i know this doesnt even come close to everything needed (i would rather also have a struct which stored the 5 copies throughout the system and only merged them when it was time to do the totals...
also note the use of ^^ because of the fact that html formatting won't allow me to put the [less than] character in
Why the hell are they using signed integers in a voting system anyways.... a good programmer would not use a +/- data type on a value that can only be positive, and if i was designing a system where accurate data was as important as voting i would make a class that replicated the total in 3 or 5 locations to ensure that a rare random bit flipping would be caught and notify the admin so multiple changes would alert people that there was something seriously wrong
Policing the GPL would be easier than policing pirates of proprietary software, GPL violations are far more likely to be committed by corporations while piracy is much less well defined and black market, in order to violate the GPL you have to be available in order to sell a product which violates the GPL while pirates can move from place to place selling copies of existing software.
Actually my calculus class uses a textbook written by the professor, it is one of my cheapest books ($35) and it follows the curriculum exactly and any errors found one year are certain to be fixed the next, unlike certain publishing companies, also the fact that the book is only printed on the front of each page allows alot of people to take their notes right in the textbook.
IIRC the $cientology stuff was just modded down and not deleted... therefore it can be found by those looking... same should be done with the diebold memos... just make it easy to fin the posts but keep them modded low to have an added benefit of saving bandwith for the server and visitors not intending to get said documents
umm... did you try holding the power button for 7-10 seconds... every system i have seen in a long time has been soft-press but a hard power down if you hold the switch.... even better if you config for hibernate when pressing the power switch in software

If they complain tell them to Shove It FCC Regulations [www.fcc.gov] forbid HOA's from restricting recievers unless they are over a certain size limit
You can get IDE PCI cards, my roommate has one in his Machine.

I highly doubt it, I am sure that when placing an order all that is sent is your personal info and a list of item#s to be purchased

since you can get the AAC encoded files to CDA without using cracks i wouldn't say it's crippled

it means that enemies of microsoft are not found mysteriously dead or framed for murder.

I do not doubt your claims although it is totally asinine seeing as email headers can be forged and truely any digital record is open to tampering
They should just change their name to "Diebold Machines and election results"... seeing as both are for sale
