I seem to remember my friend being able to still get on to Live with his modchip running by first routing the xbox through his computer (and firewall), then out through the cable modem. Does anyone know if this still works?
The idea of mans creation being infused with spirit and coming alive, and the ethical/moral consequences, are not new. not even close. way before frakenstein even. check out pinnochio. or the ancient legend of the gollem. (not the shitty tolkein gollum, the clay man gollum of middle eastern and hebrew myth). so, its not really a "Sci-fi" plot you are fed up with, is it?
thanks for the advice. how would i implement a parametric equilizer while playing MP3s from winamp on my speakers in my living room? is it a hardware equalizer?
they seem to be pushing the download of their search bar. services like notes on your searches (the "diary" function IIRC) are not usable unless you install their searchbar-browser-thingy.
Ok. Don't take this the wrong way. Don't take this as too personal of an insult. BUT. SWEET ZOMBIE JESUS. Shut the fuck up with that holier than thou attitude! (Not just the parent, but other posts quipping about waiting to see it and not download) So What If I Download It? I certainly WILL download it. AND I will end up driving at least 1 to 3 hours from my south georgia home to go see it in the theaters. AND i will shell out so i can own an official copy. Big friggin deal if i download it.
Its all a matter of opinion. Personally, i was pissed when i saw both The Matrix and Spiderman. I honestly felt pissed and cheated by all the hype. The Matrix, for all its cool violence and CGI effects, had zilch for original story value. While my family and friends were raving about how cool and thought-inspiring it was, I was thinking to myself how they were a bunch of morons who had never read really good science fiction (Gibson, Dick, Asimov, etc). And Spiderman... well, after growing up reading comics and working in a comic shop....I thought the special effects were sucky and they ruined the story. Heres hoping Sky Captain won't be another ripoff!
i agree with the "flamebait" mod of this post, but there is some truth to the statement, especially during this presidential election. according to my uninformed opinion based on news reports and political discussions with friends, countless people are voting for the candidate that is "Not Bush."
Excuse me, sir, but in order for your Troll Post to be compliant with OpenTroll 2.0 Standards, you will need to implement the spelling of "the" with the standard "teh." Thank You Very Much, the Mgmnt
Gizmodo linked to http://pmw.sorobangeeks.com/news_51.html about an iRiver portable media player. It doesn't look like the same as the one pictured in TFA. On a lighter note, I just can't see shelling out for any of these damned expensive gadgets.
One of my favorite corners of the internet has always been http://www.totse.com/
Plethora of random subjects to peruse, with or without my tinfoil hat.
"absolutely stunning looks and style" and "Absolutely gorgeous" ?? jeez, some people are falling all over themselves. other than size, what makes this so "perty"? it looks rather plain and small to me. and expensive.
i agree. that movie really bit the big one. i generally fall for smith's cheap gimmicks and wonderful dick and ass humor, but the promise of lesbian sex wasn't even enough to keep that stinker afloat.
"it should be mandatory" ???? what? don't you think thats a little like record companies saying saying it should be mandatory for you to have 5 different media players to play media from 5 different companies? I completely agree that companies SHOULD make older versions of software available for download or purchase, or let third parties distribute abandonware, but making it MANDATORY seems fascist.
do you want a system where music is distributed and listened to in a proprietary format? someone should inform them music companies of this horrendous mistake in the making.

I have found that my mp3s (vbr or not) sound significantly better when i can use a good graphic equalizer, software or hardware.

that is exactly what i thought. kinda funny that both were reworked several times, and had their release dates pushed back.
