Um, Gameboy advance? That is backwards compatible with gameboy. And the Japanese version of the super nintendo(super famicom) was compatible with Famicom games.
Heh, till the people who went camping to get away from electronics "accidentally" toss it off the embankment. Gravity can do terrible things to a gamecube....
No, it won't. The places that are starving are not the places that will have phone centers. The places that are starving tend to have very corrupt governments which won't allow their people access to food. Most of these people cannot even read their own langauge, let alone English.
It isn't like there isn't enough food to feed these people, it's that often times when we try to help, the governments won't allow many aid workers into the countries and when people try to ship food aid in, it just ends up getting diverted to the army and such. The real answer to Africa's problems isn't phone centers, it's getting honest governments. And if you or I had a 1 sentence solution to that problem, well we would be talking about it in Oslo, not/.
Oh yes, offshore outsourcing is going to be huge! Oh and by the way, we do have our own offshore outsourcing consullting services!
Not saying they are wrong, but you just gotta wonder if they may have alterior motives....
AIDS is actually a problem in India too, but Gartner and crew don't want to let you know about them(because they are trying to sell you outsourcing). India has the highest number of HIV infections outside of Africa(about 4 million and growing)
India and China are also trying to sweep diabetes epidemics under the rug. Because of genetic factors, some doctors consider Asians much more prone to diabetes as they settle down into office jobs than people of European decent.
Technically they are allowed to deny service based on the color of your skin, but only if you do not participate in any way in inter-state commerce. The supreme court enforced the anti-segregation laws by using the government's power over interstate commerce. That is how they manage to legally be able to tell people what they can do with their property.
Nothing like a bit of constitutional trivia on a Sunday! source
This is why things like iTunes and the like are great for artists. After their RIAA contract expires, they can get paid for music with almost no costs to them. I'm not sure about other services, but iTunes is accepting independent artists. There are no cds to produce, and Apple will do your advertising for you if you make it worth their while.
I guess till the RIAA gets wind of this and forces the distributors not to accept independent artists lest they lose access to all RIAA titles...
Heh, Apple used to use SCSI as the standard, but they switched(ironic) a while ago. For the home user, there isn't really the need for that much power.
I know, it's ironic that that when computers are advertised, they usually have the most blazing fast cpu and crap for the rest(thought this is improving). For the money, more RAM would probably help users out better than a SCSI disk(or 2 since the advent of high end video games, mp3s and movies has really caused the demand for storage to soar)
My co-workers were quite pissed

when I declared that every other Tuesday was pants-optional day. Needless to say, very few ever join me.
Heh, off-topic, but you also forgot another interesting point(which may have parellels to today, depends on how you look at it) Spain diverted a lot of naval resources from fighting to hauling stuff back from the New World. That helped the British defeat the Spanish Armada and allow Britian to eventually become the world's super power till the Americans and Russians took over that role after WWII. Here is the wikipedia article if interested. Though the conclusions drawn by the wikipedia article could be under contention. My history text in high school(which was a great text) pointed to this same event as one of the most defining moments in American history.
Come to think about it, we don't even know if humans can screw in space properly yet!
Yes, but I'm sure women already have, "He was faster than the speed of light" jokes lined up and ready to go.
So let me get this straight, you claim that the gaming industry "sold out" even though you download their games? That is rather self-centered. You somehow expect the whole gaming industry to serve you but you don't want to pay money for their games. I got news for you, games, and music are not your rights, you don't have some innate right to access games and music.
You don't like it, don't buy it, and don't pirate it. Don't sit around on/. bemoaning that the game industry refuses to indulge you every whim.
Uh, you do realize how much of a fixed cost there is in a car, doncha? There is also a lot of IP that goes into every aspect of the car, the engineering down to the steel that is used to make the car.
So, I want you to stand up for your rights. A $20,000 car maybe only has less than $15,000 in variable costs. I want you to proudly go to a dealer and give them $15,000 and walk away with your car, see how far you get. Because after all, it didn't cost them any more money than that $15,000 plus some fixed costs to make YOUR car, so why should you have to pay for it?
manage to spend almost 2x what the total revenues were?
If I did this I would be MBNA's bitch for the rest of my life. Ah to have the life of a corporation....
Doubtful. They like to pain over every single second of that album until it is done...
Before Lateralus was released Tool, on their website, made a list of fake(well, they didn't say at the time they were fake) tracknames and some random music to go with them, just to see how far it would profiliferate on the P2P networks. Shame to, since RiverChrist sounded like such a cool trackname.
I would rather artists wait till they think their work is finished, they should have control over what they do and do not release....but maybe that is just me.
Heh, I want to try that out, but it seems to be untested for mac and linux. Since I run OS X, kind of hesistant to buy it, though I would love something like that.
Um, you might want to check your facts there pardner before you get on your high horse. This is a bill introduced by Senator Orin Hatch. They don't get much more conservative than that. He wants to introduce it on a vote with a Republican controlled senate and house and give it to a republican president to sign.
Thank you for your pointless post, try RTFA next time before you pointlessly bash liberals and show your own ignorance of the situation, k?
Maybe that's something the Slashdot community could tackle. How to make the whole process better. I suspect part of the problem is shear quantity, as well as the obtuse nature of the wording of some of these bills.
I just thought of a great twist on the Turing test. You put a human being into a room with a terminal. On the other end you either have a senator or a random sentence generator. If the human cannot tell the difference, then you have built the world's best random senence generator.
