There were some seriously yummy chicks in that movie, but I can't find it anymore.
Of course, now I'm going to have to buy Ed's movie and see just how much Wood it produces.
Congratulations, Paul Bunyan. Yes, you can "survive," and be moderately comfortable. I went from my air-conditioned dorm in New York to living in Mississippi for a week in the middle of summer with no A/C and I adjusted in a matter of a day.
You can bet your ass that I *noticed* the difference later when I got back, though.
And let's see how well you'd tolerate the temperature variance in a sealed-up office building with the air circ. fans turned off. 90 degrees. How's that feel, bucko?
I think the point of this device is that you AREN'T free to take your business elsewhere because televisions in every kind of public place and private establishment have become ubiquitous.
It does seem to be a manifestation of the typical geek "we have the technological power, so we don't have to explain ourselves to you plebians" arrogance, though.
We are moving more and more rapidly toward a post-intellectual property society. There are going to be lots of people who don't like it, but the fact remains that it's coming and no amount of legislation is going to fix it.
... that there's been a lot of talk about "plugging the analog hole" in recent years. RIAA and its associated cronies have been talking about how they'd like every bit of the playback chain - from the sound card to the speakers - to be DRM digital.
Now, you and I understand that at *some* point the signal has to be turned into analog so that it can drive the coils in the speakers, but the average Joe is not going to take apart their speakers and hook up leads to the wires so that he can record into his sound card to an un-DRM-encumbered format with them.
My personal definition of "chick car" goes back and forth, really. If I can smoke some guido asshole in his blinged-out 4-cylinder Accord with my Mini Cooper-S, that's gonna make me *very* satisfied with my choice of automobile.
How do you define "chick car?" With respect to the Smart cars, I could definitely see driving a Forfour around the city (I live in NYC) and being able to park it nearly anywhere there's a gap between cars. Just the fact that it looks so radically different from other cars is enough for me.
The day we learn how to couple electricity and gravity to get precisely those amenities (which really need gravity to make them happen - pools, normal meals, etc.) will be the day space travel and in fact the world at large will be changed forever.
In fact, we typically just dig a nice hole and plant them (legs-first, of course) directly into the soil, then tamp it down a bit to keep them secure. Properly watered, most babies tend to take root within a few days - and as an added bonus, the soil tends to absorb and compost all that yuckiness you usually have to depend on diapers to contain.
A lot of consoles are moving toward having some kind of permanent internal storage (PS2, XBox). It wouldn't surprise me if the DS did too. Hell, the media format sounds like it might be something like SD. Maybe they'll shock the hell out of us and make it SD for real (or something that's form-compatible with it, and let you browse digital camera SD cards with a simple file browser or something). Sky's the limit with this machine.
I hope you have the pid of this post saved somewhere, because I'd like to ask you something since you're a pro-RIAA recording artist and all.
Suppose I like your music and want to support you without supporting the RIAA and your record label.
How do I go about doing this? Take it for granted that I've already downloaded your music. If I went ahead and bought $25 or so in merch, would that settle your need to get compensated for your work?
It's interesting how widely people differ on opinions of various brands of equipment. I had a D-Link DI-624+ which was absolutely terrible. Damn thing reset itself constantly and wouldn't work with any other wireless network cards other than D-Link's. Tried setting it to 802.11b-only mode and that didn't even help.
I now have a Linksys WRT54G and have never looked back. Thing functions flawlessly.
that book irritated the hell out of me. Not in the least because of its blaming the woes of the world on men, of course, but there were just huge gaping holes in the logic of whatsername's argument (Leyos? Who was the matriarch again?) that frankly, I expected Brin to plug in some insightful or unique way.
Bah. It was comforting to see that it was one of his earliest works.

Mine got worn out from stomping kittens.

I still agree with the grandparent in that breeding a clawless cat is a lot more humane than having regular cats declawed.

is one of the reasons I just ordered one of these. My shipment gets here today! w00t!

Sure, like this one and this one and this one, right?
Ethics do not necessarily match up with law.
Stop trolling and think.

You raise an excellent point.

Who's to say it doesn't?

Yes, in fact I own one. Again, it's not a quarter as capable as an OQO.
No USB
No Firewire
No hard drive (HELLO, MCFLY?!)
No x86 processor
Do I really need to compare specs on these things?
But you're insane if you think just the COMPONENTS of this thing run the company $542 in cost.
What the hell is the matter with you? There are PDAs that cost $600 that aren't a quarter as capable as these things are.
... will descend after enough corporations splurge on this to recover OQO Inc.'s costs. Expect it to be $1600 by the middle of next year.
It probably costs more than $950 just for the individual components. Be realistic.

That's awesome. I've been wanting to set something like that up in my home net. Did you find it difficult to configure?

"The easy solution, and perfectly appropriate for use in the car, is an external hd, but that's not an option here due to the slow USB."
Yes, it is. Why does everyone act as if USB 1.1 is a 5kbps protocol?
It runs at 12Mbps. This is more than fast enough to bring MP3s or OGGs from the drive to your PepperPad and play them back in real time.
No keyboard.
No color screen.
A proprietary O/S (yes, it can run Linux - poorly)
No bluetooth.
No ability to run real applications.
No touchscreen.
No WiFi.
This is easily worth two iPods.
it is only $800.
