Ahh, unless dev-java/jdk-docs stops because you have to go download the javadocs zip file from Sun directly.
I understand the licensing issues that cause this, but come on!!!
If you could make emerge -up pretend a little harder (like, tell me if I need to download anything before I kick off 'emerge -u kde gnome gaim mozilla galeon-cvs') that would be damned cool.
By seventh grade, my teachers were telling me to stop turning papers in that were written in cursive, as "every form and everything in the real world says PLEASE PRINT CLEARLY"
Is writing in cursive outdated? I know I haven't written anything in cursive in about 10 years, and I'm not sure if I could "flow" in cursive...
Having been through this lately, I can tell you how damaging it is.
6 months of litigation, running over $15k now, and almost costing me my job.
The other thing to remember, you don't always have to _prove_ your case, but if you get a sympathetic judge which doesn't understand the intricacies of the case, you're screwed.
My attorney told me to remember that the burden of proof in civil court is not nearly as strict as a criminal case. (Okay, that's paraphrased, but you get the point)
The idea isn't original, but the tools used to create it could fall under the innovation category.
Groups of "hackers" got together and wrote their own ways to develop for the platform instead of the licensed software development kit you would get from Sega.
"Typing Of Fury", while not a new idea (combining "Typing Of The Dead" with "DDR"), but a combination of existing ideas is innovative, I think.
AT&T Wireless. Cingular. Sprint PCS. Nextel. (insert your carrier here).
Enough said.
Now, on the other hand, I do agree with the fact that I don't want to pay $50 for the game, then $10 a month. How about $15 for the game, then $10 a month? I'd be okay with that. Hell, make me pay $50 for the game, and include like three free months of service with it. That's okay with me.
EverQuest turned me off at the idea of $50 per expansion pack, on top of the $9.89 a month to play it. No thanks.
I know lots of adults that don't have the intellectual maturity to function in a corporate world, so there goes that idea...
I will admit I wasn't the most mature person right out of high school, but I had a full time sys admin job. If I could have gotten training in high school like this, I would have jumped right on it.
Believe it or not, spending 4-5 years in college isn't an option for everyone. Public high school is free (other than paying your taxes...) If we can help students be more productive right out of high school, I'm all for it!
Not to mention, you might turn on a few students to a field they had never thought of. The exposure in high school is a great idea.
You can use the serial connection on the back of your TiVo to handle connections.
My Series 1 DirecTiVo runs a serial connection to a FreeBSD box, and it does its PPP connection that way. Dig around on http://www.tivocommunity.com and you'll find the instructions for this. Basically, you plug in the serial cable with a null modem adapter to a Linux/FreeBSD (or even Windows) box, change your dial prefix in TiVo to,#211 then start pppd and tell the TiVo to dial out.
MechAssault is great fun, as is MotoGP. Being able to talk with your opponents and such while blasting them to bits or lapping them through that evil curve is worth a lot more than you'd think - it adds an entirely new level of interactivity to online gaming.
I know the idea of talking to someone while you play against them isn't earth shattering, but the implementation in Xbox Live is very, very good.
Since the only way to see the value of a PVR is to use it, the user community should have Tupperware-like parties.
Everyone that I've sold on a TiVo unit has come to my house and played with mine for about an hour, but prior to that swore they couldn't understand why it was such a big deal.
This happens with a lot more than surgery. For example, every time I get a new pair of glasses (which reverses some "pull" effect on my lazy eye) I have the _exact_ same problem.
I wouldn't chalk this up to just laser surgery, it happens with new prescriptions all the time. The headaches eventually go away once your eyes stop fighting and learn to "go with the flow"!

Go to http://www.expansys.us and buy any tri-mode GSM phone you want.
Take your current phone, write down your gateway settings (should be available in your SMS settings and browser settings)
Put SIM in new phone. Key in gateway info.
Voila! You are no longer limited by what your carrier thinks you should use.
The only problem with this solution is that you're going to spend a small fortune on the phone, since it's not being subsidized by the carrier.
...then they will fail miserably.

Half the time, I get JScript 'Out of Memory' errors or NO results from my searches...
Long live Google!

I learned cursive in third grade.
By seventh grade, my teachers were telling me to stop turning papers in that were written in cursive, as "every form and everything in the real world says PLEASE PRINT CLEARLY"

That idea is BS too.
What if I live in Portland, Oregon and spend most of my time driving around Vancouver, Washington?(or any part of Washington, for that matter!)
Should I pay Oregon gas tax on the miles I drive in my car, when I didn't drive the car in Oregon?!
I agree...

Pretty != good
Ever play Black & White? Looks great... It was lacking in other aspects...
Besides, some of us _like_ side-scrollers and played the other Mega Man games on our NES religiously.

The only number to reach the Kent, WA Police Department is 911.
Period.
Call 411 and ask for the "Non-emergency number" for the Kent Police Department. They'll give you 911.
You should check your facts before posting (yeah, call me flamebait...)
...and I think the rednecks in their large trucks would run you over if they saw you on that thing anyhow!
(Now, don't get me wrong, I liked it there. But I'm a redneck. You can't fight genetics.)
According to this article the phone was delayed, not dumped... There is a difference.

You know everyone at Apple is rubbing their hands together and laughing wickedly...

But ya know, it figures that this comes out two weeks after my Inspiron 4150 shows up
You should try used CD stores. Even better. :)
Get the CD you've wanted for a while for $7-8 (hell, I've gotten some good CDs for $4 used before!)
OpenOffice on Linux can read .doc files, but it does tend to destroy your formatting...
The best example of this is inside the jewel case of a CD you purchase at your local Tower Records (for example)..
:)
You'll see the RFID inside the jewel case, and you can easily remove it if you want, or just throw away the jewel case. The CD is unaffected.
I have a portable mp3 player I rarely use, but I use my Kenwood mp3 deck in my car all the time.
I'd much rather use ogg vs. mp3, but until I can have a car player, I can't convert...

Now, the computer may have actually played the game, but a team of human programmers had to "teach" it how to play.

My DTiVo is plugged into my FreeBSD box's serial port (using the serial cable that came with the TiVo and a null-modem adapter)...

You're leaving out MotoGP on this list...

A friend of mine had a brilliant idea.

If it doesn't support Outlook and the way it handles calendaring and such as smoothly as Exchange does, it will never be an Exchange Server killer!
I know I'm not the first, nor will I be the last person to make this observation.
