And they cost less than $100. I was able to blow up negatives to 4x6 with no noticeable loss of quality, (picture perfect, you might say, hardy har har), 8x10 looks nice, but not great, with a slight degradation in quality.
I spent at least $200 in the arcade playing Ridge Racer, and it was an amazing game. And it was more amazing that the PS1 was able to duplicate that arcade experience to the last detail.
Too bad I didn't have the Logitech Driving Force Pro, so I could actually steer/gas/brake like in the arcade.
If you've been interested in computers for this long, and are learning fast enough, then just teach yourself. You're wasting valuable time and dollars in college that you could be using towards getting job / life experience.
College was the best party I ever paid for, but because I consider myself to be ultra-elite and the smartest person in the world, I've gotten myself way past where I could have if I completed college. (I still haven't).
Having 4 years of helpdesk experience, assistant LAN adminstrator experience, or even doing side jobs as a contractor (fixing friends/relatives PC's for a couple bucks) is worth more than a college degree, IMHO. Sure, it doesn't necessarily teach you programming skills, but if you pick the right company to start with, you can work your way up, and have the COMPANY pay for your degree. Although I haven't gone the degree route (yet, and not sure if I will, and if I do, it looks like I'll go for MBA, not CS) I have spend several thousands of my companies' dollars on training, instead of my own.
This worked for me. Maybe it won't for you. But as a 1-year college student making nearly 6 digits, (and I'm not in Silicon valley where janitors make that much) I'm just saying it can be done.
What voice is he in San Andreas? I'm in the middle of it now, I've heard Samuel Jackson, James Woods, that bald geek guy from MIB and Mr. Show (Bob Odenkirk? Or is the other one), but I didn't notice Wil's voice... I wasn't listening for it either though...
I had this same exact issue, on two different machines, two different Wi-Fi connections. And again on another machine, using a DSL 'shared' connection (one machine has the DSL modem, the other machine just uses a special connector in a different room).
I tweaked with network, tried turning off the firewall, reset everything. The only thing that worked was to remove SP2, and it worked like a charm.
VERY annoying. Someone let us know if you know how to fix this.
The opposite is true, too, however. I went to a certain country a while ago, and there, the lights run from green, blinking green, to yellow, to red. Red goes to Yellow and Red, and then green again. So people waiting for the light to turn green know when the red switches to yellow and red, it's nearly time to go (and many drivers 'jump the green' at this point).
Guess what? EVERYONE in that country STOPS at yellow lights. No one, and I mean NO ONE floors it to 'make' a yellow light.
I agree, I've had my hotmail account upped to 250MB at least a month ago, maybe closer to two. I also have had the account since the creation of the internet (thanks Al Gore!).
Of course, any news that has to do with Microsoft doing something well/nice/good takes a very long time to make it to this MS-Hater forum. (this will be proved by someone marking this post as flamebait or troll, wait and see!)
Post all your media (Books, CD's, Games, DVD's) online, and share it with your friends & neighbors, the old fashioned way. RIAA and MPAA can't touch you this way:
I've heard of this everywhere, my PS2 has been going strong for oh, almost 4 years now I think... never had any problems with it. And I leave it on for days at a time sometimes.. although I do make an effort to not leave it on for extended periods of time...
I honestly have no idea, but the latest Final Fantasy games I've played (X and X-2) seem so well done and crafted, with tons of audio/video, I'd wager at least one company (SquareSoft, or is it SquareEnix now or some other name?) will make use of this extra added space.

I could be wrong, but when I was a wee tot many moons ago, couldn't you buy a rocket from Estes that had a camera built-in, that would take a picture (or pictures?) during flight, or at least at apogee when the ejection charge would fire?

I like the wheel on my RIM Blackberry, seems like this has been around a little bit longer than the iPOD. The clicking interface along with the scrolling up and down is pretty nifty.
Awww. How quaint, a knee-jerk American response! A Bush man! Probably lives near Texas!
You mention murder while attempting to make a post about saving lives. How rhetorical!
If we would just get a little more murder on these days (on a massive scale) we wouldn't need big plagues, new diseases, etc, etc, to control our population. But everyone has to be SOOO P.C. nowadays... can't start major world wars, perform ethnic cleansing, stage a bloody coup, use nuclear weapons... so we get more and more populated, more disease grows and spread, and kills off 1/3 of us. YAY! More oxygen for the rest of us! Less Hummer H2's on the road while we try to go to work! Think of how much shorter the lines will be at the supermarket!
Humans die. It's what we do. It's what you will do. It's what your family will do. It's what your neighbors will do. Just accept that fact, and live your life to the fullest.
Just don't start bitching and moaning about "I didn't have enough time, I didn't get to do this or that, I never told so-and-so I loved them" because you're a procrastinating a-hole that thinks you're God and are going to live forever...
You get fed this line about how, like, you're gonna live forever or whatever. You're gonna die. Someone'll kill ya. Someone'll kill ya with a knife. You make sure your abs are, uh, friggin' ripped; you got some good guns! You wanna look good for when you get stabbed with a knife. Sorry, that's how it works...
I just don't see why humans are infatuated with saving everyone. Some people have to die. It's just fact. If we ever get the entire population to live for 100+ years, just think of how bad it's going to get. There will be fuel shortages. There will be food shortages. (some say there already are). Air and Water will be dirtier and dirtier.
Eventually, we will get to a point where the seas are over-fished, the ground is over-farmed, and then we're ALL screwed. You know why there is a deer hunting season? So they don't all starve to death during the winter. It's more humane to have some of them killed off.
I feel bad for people with AIDS, but I also feed bad when I stub my toe walking to the bathroom in the dark. Both of these events are preventable. I can choose to turn on the light when I pee in the dark, and people with AIDS (at least those not born with the affliction) can choose to not have unprotected sex, don't use needles, and to not eat monkey brains.
Well, over a period of centuries (6th, 14th, and 17th), The Black Death killed about 137 million people... The 1918 flu did kill about 25 million in one year, which is pretty significant.

Not a bad little device for $100.

This isn't a question for Wil, btw: anyone, feel free to answer this one :)

Shillelagh! Shillelagh!
I can't imagine how badly Lucas is going to mess up how Anakin becomes Darth Vader.
Maybe replace his light saber with a walkie talkie?

So I guess it works both ways.
You hope. Bush and his Republican congress could always change a few 'rules' and allow him as many terms as he likes.
It's the end of the world as we know it...
Silly me, here I am thinking the next time I see the words "Game" and "Sue" would be over Rockstar Games' new Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Well, a bit of good and bad at my work. They just laid off 30 (non-IT) people, but gave promotions to a handful of other (IT) people.
So this may not be complete lies.

I love how you can quote my message nearly completely, except for the one line that totally makes your message moot:
(and if it's my time to go, I'm fine with that)
Yes, death sucks. But it's part of life. Get used to it. You're not getting out of this (life) alive.
Here's some advice:
Don't go to Africa.
Don't eat monkey brains.
I feel bad for people with AIDS, but I also feed bad when I stub my toe walking to the bathroom in the dark. Both of these events are preventable. I can choose to turn on the light when I pee in the dark, and people with AIDS (at least those not born with the affliction) can choose to not have unprotected sex, don't use needles, and to not eat monkey brains.
Fnord.
