Don't forget the downloadable commentaries for Firefly.
Pitty these have nothing to do with Firefly at all. I started listening to the first one and it sounds like a few guys doing a radio show on geek related topics.

Exactly. Nothing better than having a book in your hands to read when taking a shit.
Anyway, doesn't everyone here know that all the cute pictures online are fake and you are talking to somebody who weighs 300 pounds and whose real name is "Bubba"?
I find that hard to believe since all the good sites have their cities listed under thier pics!
I remember reading an article not to long ago where a company painted a fly onto each urinal in an effort to keep them peeing in the ideal spot to reduce mess. I believe it's design was for bars and such where people may be less likely to care about if they miss.
privacy concerns? Assuming the signal was strong enough and the RFID was embedded in the product (so I can't remove it), couldn't someone drive by my house and see what sorts of things I buy?
Let's say a company A was collecting data for marketing purposes on their product and they had an RFID tag. They drive around and collect regional data to help better market this product.
Now let's say company B has a similar product but no RFID tag so they survey this data.. Maybe they ask if you could fill out the survey after you buy the product or maybe they just survey random people at random times attempting to collect the same information as company A.
Now for the sake of arguement that both methods collect the same information who's will be more accurate? cost less? take less time? Now let's say this information is so vital (ignoring time/money constraints) to the company B that they are willing to go door to door to collect this information.
What method would you rather have them use?
Call me me crazy but in a perfect world I think privacy wouldn't exist.
I have a feeling in addition to reduced prices Microsoft will make the Xbox 360 free w/ a 3-5year subscription to live when the Wii/PS3 is released. If somebody was having a hard time choosing between PS3 or Xbox360 I think that could really pull them toward Xbox.
Also parents who have kids begging for the new console would be more likely to sign a payment plan that having to drop $500-600 down for a new console for Xmas. Not to mention they could warrent spending another $200 on software so they kid has a game to actually play.
I'll keep this short & simple. If you're going to do something illegal, don't tape it, don't take pictures of it, don't write about it, and most of all...don't post it on the internet. Does common sense even exist anymore?
But how else am I going to share my antics with the world? How else will MTV discover the new cast of Jackass?
I believe I have a good idea how the combat system works and I assume it's similar to Tales of Symphonia where you can tell the AI players kinda what to do. What I'd really like to see is several different methods of combat. Think along the lines of 7th guest RPG where you like maybe a handfull fights in a game and they are all significnatly different and actually challenging to the point where when you fail a few times in arow you don't just power level to make up for lack of skill.
WHile I do like the Tales of Symphonia's idea to merge a street fighter game into an RPG eventually you learn all the combos and it gets boring 1/2 into the game. Then the 2nd half you can pretty much just turn the full auto AI and let the computer do the whole thing.
MacGyver was saved from the menacing glare, and took cover in nearby bushes to build a new brain.
After that was complete MacGyver realized just how old Christie Brinkley has gotten and maybe he was a better choice to partner up with Norris peddling the Total Gym and after selling his idea to Norris they went on to settle their differences and retire stinking rich.
Slightly longer answer: gravity is essentially the warping of space-time by the mass of an object. You can think of it as being like putting a heavy object on to a trampoline - the surface is pulled down under it. If you put a ball on it near the object, it'll roll down the sheet towards it.
Uh the only reason the ball rolls down is because of gravity in the first place. If you were in 0g and did the same thing described above it wouldn't roll down torwards it right?
So how does this warping space-time create gravity if in order to warp space-time you need gravity before you can warp space-time?
My dad - yes yes he does NOT live in China - has an even stronger opinion than I have. He firmly believes that people are getting paid by the US government to bash the Chinese government. When the Chinese government does something, everybody yells 'OMG those communist bastards are 3v1l!!!'. But when the US government does something, almost nobody says a word.
If he ever finds the agency paying these people to bash China (or any country) tell him to let me know.. Not that I have anything against China I just could use the money.
I don't use iTunes but I would if I could get new eps of Firefly.. Do they offer any preorder service? Why not toss out a Preorder Firefly S2E1 and see what kind of responce it gets? I'd assume if they get the ball rolling future episodes would be cheaper since sets are made etc etc
Yes, our Xerox machines have the ability to send the TIFF (or PDF) files via FTP. You have the option ot overwrite, abort if file/folder exists, or rename. Now with a PDf it just creates file.pdf but with TIFFs it creates a folder of the name you specify and puts all the TIFFs in it with a text file containing a list of all the presets the user selected during the scanning process.
The problem I can't seem to get past is determing where to store the files. If we have a large public folder where all scans go it will be a nightmare to find your document you just scaned. It sounds like we have a similar system. Could you elaborate on how you overcame these types of problems?
Right now we have the ability to store images to any folder on the network (that is writable), FTP or via email. However having a large number of usings it's not exactly easy to select where you want them to go. Each location must be typed in via touchpad.. Entering an email address just takes too long
Yes, that is exactly what I'm trying to do. Almost all our forms are simply created from a template in excel, printed out only to be reented by somebody in data entry. It really blows my mind how such a procedure ever was implimented.
Did you guys buy of this software or was it pretty much all custom written web based apps?

For the love of Gaming God, play Psychonauts. If you have, and didn't find it funny, I'm surprised and saddened.
I agree! Psychnauts is an incredible game and I laughed out loud several times. The whole Milk Man character and level was incredibly funny.
know how to party or what?!

Remember how the early breast implants were all "bleeding edge" and awesome? Then we found out a few years later they may oh.. kill you?
Don't you dare same anything negative about breast implants you son of a bitch!
is a good open source cross platform virus/worm!
It's true! One of my professors wears a bright pink collared shirt with a purple vest every other day. All the guys are scared of him......
You mean all the guys' cornholes are scared of him right?

I would make sure that when it's actually done it really is realized on April 1st as a big fuck you.

Every time I hear (or read) the word "Irregardless" I instantly think of the short film "The Parlor" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0296134/
I'm sure you can google it and find a copy online as well. This being slashdot I'm sure you'll all get a kick out of it.
