Why not get a gamecube emulator and some USB controllers for your Mac?
Because:
a) Roms are hard to find and of dubious nature
b) I want to play 4 players, I could get a USB hub, but there would be a lot more wires.
c) I don't want to chew up my cpu while I am playing a game, part of the reason I am getting a G5 is that for my research, I need to plow through very large data sets, why would I waste my resources on an emulator?
is a Joe Don Baker mod. Imagine, saving the government of Greece from aliens with a fat, sweaty cowboy/"bad boy".
Goosio will obviously have to make a cameo of course!
Or you can derive WNT by adding one to each of VMS.
It would be more of a coincedence, except(from wikipedia):
"Microsoft hired a group of developers from Digital Equipment Corporation to build NT, and many elements reflect earlier DEC experience with VMS and RSX-11. "
Seems like less of a coincedence when you take that into consideration:P
is that, as far as I know(please correct me if I am wrong), you really can't play consoles on it since the cards have a 1.5 second or so delay from when the video comes in to when you see it. Obviously this is fine for television, but not so hot for gaming.
I am a college student who will easily move 2-3 times in the next 2 years, so I really would prefer not to have a seperate TV(the G5 weighs enough as it is). I love the gamecube because it is easy to get a bunch of friends together to sit around drinking playing Mario Kart or Super Monkey Ball or Mario Party(yeah I know, they are childish, but still a hell of a lot of fun). Somewhat harder to do that with PC games.
While I am delaying my purchase of a monitor till the WWDC(Apple is supposedly going to release new, cheaper monitors. I'm holding off on buying a G5 till i see what they have, the student developer discount makes them affordable), it seems that I will buy an LCD monitor/tv combo. You can't record with them, but you can plug your gamecube in fine.
I'd be interested to see if Intel can actually strong-arm them into it
With mainland facilities becoming more and more advanced, but without huge increases in cost, I think Intel can get their way. All they need to do is say, "Shanghai" and I bet the Taiwanese manufacturers will change their minds.
There's no reason why you couldn't play multiplayer games over bluetooth?
Yeah there is, bluetooth requires the person you are playing with to be in the same area as you. If you are that close together, why not just link up via gameboy?
True mobile gaming would allow me to play a game of chess during my commute to work in Tokyo with a friend in Paris who is riding the metro. Can't do that with bluetooth.
Though I suppose using bluetooth on a train might be an interesting way to meet new people who are into gaming. And nobody is going to try to go "toothing" with the gaming geek!;)
hehe, the fish market was fun, I went with a Japanese friend who spoke English very well, but she couldn't even translate most of the fish names. My dictionary had most of them, but I hadn't even heard of them before.
Too bad my internship ended and I am back in Pennsylvania, I miss Japan, can't wait to go back.
iTunes music store, if you don't mind paying the bit of money, has a nice selection(though you have to buy an iPod if you want to do a portable player).
For books, check out audible.com, $20 a month gets you 2 books. They have a decent(if not huge) selection, maybe you can browse around, see if there is anything she is interested in. You can also buy them directly from audible or use iTunes to buy them, but seeing as how most books average about $10-15 easily, you would probably be better off going with a subscription.
Good luck, and you are to be commended for your kindness.
as short as possible while still highlighting your skills. Remember, recruiters are busy people, and they usually spend a very small amount of time per resume(unless they are interested). Sometimes your resume may even get filtered out by computer.
Your best bet is to make a tight, targeted resume. Flooding monster or hotjobs with generic resumes probably won't get you very far. Find the jobs you think you are most suited for, and go for them! And of course, networkin never hurts either!
Happy hunting!
Even better than post it notes, get a CRT monitor and burn your to-do list on it, may not be the most efficient way, but everytime you look at your computer, your todo list is stqaring you down.
I never actually went to a US Yoshinoya, there really aren't any in western PA, and actually I only went there a few times in Japan(though the beef bowl was actually pretty good). I usually went to Matsuya, which had pretty good food(for fast food anyway).
Shame they didn't do it right in the US, Japanese fast food is actually pretty good. And I cannot believe how energetic the staff is. Makes me wish people in the US actually enjoyed their food service jobs(though having worked in one, I can understand why they might not be very perky)
are the only place you can get a beef bowl from Yoshinoya(in Japan anyway) right now. After mad cow was discovered in the US, Japan blocked all imports of US beef, and still has the block in place(they said they would remove it with 100% testing, but so far the US has said that would be too expensive without any real increase in accuracy), so Yoshinoya has stopped serving beef bowls outside their original restaurant in a certain part of Tokyo(their original store, can't remember what area) where they use more expensive beef. McDonalds imports their meat from Australia, but Yoshinoya has said that Australian beef just doesn't work right in the beef bowls.
They have replaced the beef with chicken/pork, still cheap, but just not as good.
gay marraige, and a whole slew of immoral acts, most of which would make the ancient greeks cringe in disgust.
You do realize it was an honor for a young boy to be screwed in the bumhole by an old greek philosopher, don't you?
I'm not sure where you are going with that statement...
(i.e., the 1st for the lefties, the 2nd and 4th for the righties).
Am I the only crusader for 3rd amendment rights?! Power to the people! No soldiers in our homes!
Though it is the only amendment in the bill of rights that the supreme court has never ruled on(it was only even presented in Federal court once, in 1982)
That may help for laptops for personal use, but you can often read in the newspaper about a social engineeri just walking into some business, and getting the receptionists to help him steal 20 laptops. And considering even though PHBs only use their laptops to check email, as a status symbol the PHB usually orders the most expensive laptop possible.
My laptop anti-theft devices are
a) I'm a poor college student and I dress like one
b) I carry it around in a beaten up(on the outside) backpack, but one with a lot of padding.
c) my final line of defense is the laptop itself, an all white little clamshell with a glowing white apple on the other side of the screen:) Not too many thieves target the iBook(or at least that is my wishful thinking!)
They approached Michael Dell about installing at the factory. He doesn't want them as 1000's of laptops are stolen every year, requiring replacements..... Hmm, Profit Motive?
As I imagine the theifs aren't using them to give venture capital proposals, it also means thousands of stolen laptops that get sold at very low prices, taking away some potential Dell sales.
May be to stop movie/award screeners from distributing the films they are given(supposedly a major source of hi-def piracy, esp. when a movie is new) thats about the only legitimate use I can see. However, it wouldn't take a genious to copy the film first to a normal dvd, then watch it.
Oh well, as bandwidth improves, downloading movies(legally) will *hopefully* become the norm of after-theatre distribution. But then again, the MPAA could always emulate the enormously successful strategy of the RIAA and ignore new distribution methods till you are pretty much forced to do something about it:P
There are outbreaks at the sites of the former labs(I'm not saying they are responsible for country wide outbreaks), that would tend to make me believe that the lab is at least partially responsible.
Stalin agreed to help the US fight Japan 90 days after the war in Europe ended(I can't remember the name of the conference) You can find out a little bit more here I don't have time to do more research, but if you are really interested, dig, it's in there

Gah! Yes the nuking was a terrible thing, but you don't realize how much worse the other options would have been. Guess what August 6th, 1945 was? It was 90 days after the official end to the war in Europe. Guess what that meant, that meant the Soviets could now enter the war. The Soviets were already destryong what was left of the Japanese army in Manchuria, and Stalin was rushing as many troops as he could to East. He wanted to take Japan regardless of the number of casualties, Russian or Japanese. This would of also forced the Americans to try to capture as much territory as possible. There would have been mass civilian casualties as well as military casualties.
Seriously, put yourself in Truman's shoes. Would you be able to face the war widows knowing that you had a way to prevent the deaths of American soldiers? Would you think it was a good idea for Japan to be divided in half like Germany was? Hindsight is 20/20, and we tend to forget about the circumstances that led to the dropping of the bomb.

Here is some info, basically the Japanese covered large areas with infected fleas. With sanitation these would probably have been cleaned up, but from time to time people probably uncover areas with infected fleas/rats. Not 100% sure, I saw some people on the history channel saying that a recent plague outbreak had been blamed on the Unit 731.
There are outbreaks at the sites of the former labs(I'm not saying they are responsible for country wide outbreaks), that would tend to make me believe that the lab is at least partially responsible.
