Or, you could just buy a laptop. Not such a big load as I had anticipated. Im sure the "48 page Canadian passport" could fit in the laptops side pocket.
Phoneboy sounds like something else I like to read.
On the other hand, I too read this book, and I enjoyed the detail and also the easy way it was presented. Thanks for the review!
First, you say I've only played the CD-rip version of the game
then, you say
So. In short, go out and buy this game!
hmmmm....Interesting contradiction
The announcement, at the International Electron Devices Meeting in Washington DC last week, gives a glimpse into the intensely secretive way chip firms attempt to gain an edge over their competitors in a market worth over $100 billion a year.
Chip market worth 100 billion dollars ? Wow. That is the thing that stood out for me in the article.
Not to mention...Dell puts the "Dell Music Jukebox" on their computers too and then send you spam every few days insisting to upgrade to their "premium" service. I never read beyond the subject line, so I can't tell you what the advantages of the "premium" service are. The absolute worst thing about the dell jukebox is that stupid icon in the tray that pops up each time you start the computer. I know its easy to stop automatic start-up, but, ARGGHHHH I hate having unnecessary tray icons. I only want the ones i want. Makes sense.

Your right, if the radio "keeps saying 'Please tune your radio to 88.8, the bible radio'", but I mean text on the billboard that says "tune your radio to 88.8" you can simply ignore it, or, if you are interested, tune in.

What would be interesting are billboards that send out ads. For example, you are driving by a heineken ad, and it says on it "tune your radio to 89.7" or something like that and you could listen to the ad that went along with the billboard. Might be useful if you wanted more information about an the subject of the billboard. Kind of like a drive-by movie theater where when you are in the right range, you can hear the movie audio.
Maybe if their was heavy traffic, the system could find the radio station that the most people were listening to at that moment in the range of the ad and display the ad the longest for the largest demographic, then the next largest demographic display the second longest ad and so on.
its interesting that you post that because microsoft just found that they accidently put two swastikas in a font set. They are coming out with a tool to remove them however.
(the Sims currency, exchangable on eBay for real-life money).
Sounds like its market is beginning to be like everquest's. Random fact(or not so random...from and old cnet article):
"And if the "EverQuest" universe of Norrath were a country, its per-capita gross national product would be $2,266--comparable to the 77th richest country on Earth and ranking it between Russia and Bulgaria. Platinum pieces, the in-game currency known as pp, end up with an exchange rate of about a penny per pp, making "EverQuest" currency more valuable than the Japanese yen and the Spanish peseta. "
i wonder how long it will take for The Sims' currency to be as valuable as Japan's, if it isn't already.
"You might also want to read through the talk.origins archive, since I think you might not fully understand how evolution works. (Hint: "survival of the fittest" is a really poor way to describe it.)"
Hey, its the way my biology teacher used to explain it, so yes, i probably don't fully understand how it works.
If there are other species of bacteria that we know can do this, why is this one special? Couldn't we theoretically use any kind of bacteria that creates charges of electricity using this type of cycle in a bio-battery? There might be a bacteria that gets their energy from a more common metal ion.
Not saying evolution didnt happen, but someone explain how an organism like this bacterium could evolve due to "survival of the fittest?"
It seems quite impossible to understand how a bacterium could have mutations that allow it to "convert 'uranium and other radionuclides dissolved in water to solid compounds that can be extracted.' It reduces (adds electrons to) positively charged metal ions, making them insoluble in water (making them easier to clean up), which creates small charges of electricity."

By laptop I mean PC, not mac. Thanks for the redundency takedown *gives thums up*

I can play Doom on my pocket pc, so you should be able to play it on a desktop. Same with Quake, it is the same thing I am sure.
Reasons:
Listen to music
Play games
Write Documents
Read Email
Internet(read slashdot)
Calender
Contacts
Looks slick
Reasonable price i.e. $200( Dell Axim)

Apparently, Star Wars is a series too...

I think that it was a joke.
