Agreed. If it was some sort of required class by teachers, then you can bet that a lot of kids are only there because they have to, or just to put it on their college applications.
I wouldn't worry about it too much, at least you got one who is genuinely interested.
It's still up to the "parent" company to verify by whatever means that the outsourced code is kosher, because they're releasing it as their own. If they were just reselling something, it would be different, but it's the fact that it's their product, regardless of if they outsourced or not.
I enjoyed them quite a bit. I went to the theaters opening day/night, and the audience cheered and got really into it. It was fun, and enjoyed by all. Even some people in my small town were dressed up as characters.
By that convention, broaderband would be the fastest:) because it's always broader than the last band (kind of like how the "new" beetle will always be the "new" beetle, even though it's years old at this point)
It's not usually the policy of a company, but now they've gone and gotten involved, so it's too late, they can't withdraw support without looking like they support the other side, because people are dumb as rocks.
I'll stop when people stop deserving it. I haven't missed the whole point of this discussion at all, infact I was the one who originally instructed the parent why he was wrong. Google caching might cache cookies, but not ONLY cookies; understand, comprende?
That's how beta software works, douchebag. One uses a beta moniker to escape any bugs that may be present. If it's a beta, there are bugs. Get it? You are utter crap.
It doesn't just cache your cookies, it acts as a proxy that compresses the data as you browse, much like the ISPs that offer "high speed" compressed modem surfing.
I.E. In addition to compressing the cookies for performance, they also compress other crap.

Before the above gets modded down, it was a sarcastic reply to someone saying prove there isn't a creator, I don't actually believe that we are someone's dream, just as nobody should believe that there is a god with magical powers unbeknownst to us.
I think it's more because it's a relatively high-powered, portable, wireless device, excellent input device, great battery life, stereo audio, etc etc. It's basically going to be like a $150 palm that runs linux that can play really good games too... think about it.
How often does Apple release patches and the like? I'm just curious to see how it compares to say Windows.
Do they have some sort of web-interface like Windows-update, or is it a self-contained program, or is it an open thing that you can use whatever browser/program you'd like to download?
Are there lots of little patches all the time, or just big lumps of patches like this one?
Re:dual tiny screens on the DS vs big screen on PS

PSP UMD Format Cracked
·
· Score: 1
They're far from tiny, admittedly not as nice as the big PSP screen, but very functional. I don't have any issue with the screens at all. Both screens added up pixels in total are less than the PSP screen, but the DS screens are definitely separate, putting video or what have you across both looks funny, because there is a largeish gap inbetween them.
As far as the touchscreen goes, you can buy screen-protectors cheap, and the plain screen by itself is pretty hearty.
I don't know of any zombie computers that can hack into things without someone controlling it... in which case just use your own computer. Maybe you're confusing hacking with DDOSing, which is a totally different thing?
The dual screens truly are a godsend. On a lot of games, the developers didn't seem to know what to do with it, so it's just used as a map or inventory screen, but the games that do make use of it are wonderful! Mario DS is my favorite time-waster, you can play the adventure game for long periods of time-wasting, or one of the myriad mini games for short waste periods. The minigames make great use of the touchscreen. One of my favorites is dragging bomb-ombs to their defusing pens, they start coming onto the screen faster and faster.
Once the hardware gets a little more hacked (it's in the works) having the touchscreen function as a character input a-la palm is going to rock the house. Linux anybody?
Which confuses me greately. Granted my DSL is only half that rate, but I pay $30/month. Cable internet access is ~1.5Mbit and most charge under $50. Maybe they've got a sticky zero key?
But you can't actually use your ~1.5 Mbit connection to its full potential all the time, your ISP would pull the plug quickly. Your service also isn't guaranteed to be up however-many-nines of the time. Cable can be had for $20/month for 4 megabit, but that's only 4 megabit peak, many ISPs have in the small print of the agreement that you technically have a limit for average bandwidth that's _much_ smaller. They can also block whatever ports they want, and don't consider downtime a priority like with businesses.

Hehe, I think we need a bear-pope. Or is that equating the pope to poop? (Eww, I just stepped in some pope).

My spelling and grammer combined with the fact that I have college degree, proves a problem with the educaion system.

Wow, couldn't have reinforced that point any better. These cores don't fight eachother, there are just two of them (duel/dual).
