Bluetooth is rubbish on a PC, there's no doubt about that.. believe me, I know. But I use my Jabra BT200 on my Nokia 6310 all the time, it works amazingly well. And it means I don't have to get my old phone out in public...
I suspect that part of the training is to confuse games with reality. There's a distinct tactical advantage with having soldiers who forget that when you die, you don't respawn...
Well Bluetooth is good for 10 metres, or 32 feet which is twice the size of my front room. He wasn't very clear but it might be that he can get a signal if the phone is actually on the windowsill, this has worked for me. Bluetooth should work fine, his problem is he can't get a signal from *outside* to his phone, but a signal from phone to headset within the same area should be ok. Also, cell phone frequencies are much different to bluetooth so the same conditions don't apply.
While I'm posting, I was thinking he doesn't actually need a headset, he could use a USB bluetooth dongle on his PC and use the mic and speakers.
Get a Bluetooth headset. Maybe you can leave your phone upstairs or near a window for a signal. You don't have to wear it all the time, just put it on when the phone rings.
The CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) did redefine what "Reasonable Force" means to them, as a way of changing the law without actually changing the law - if you know what I mean.. In the past the police would have taken a dim view of the killing of an intruder, and these changes have been made because of complaints that burglary is treated too lightly. Nothing has really changed there, as can be seen if you RTFA; 11 months for a rescidivist professional burglar. What a joke.
That sounds about right, Spidey steps into a black puddle - it becomes a living costume which he can call at will and adds more strength and powers, until it tries to take him over. One of the best villains in my book.
Actually, when I was watching the DVD back I noticed Venom in the opening credits. With the idea of Venom being in Spidey 3, I would bet my shirt that when Mary Jane kisses the recently returned from space astronaut, then Peter Parker, she is actually passing Venom on. Originally Spider-man got Venom from a trip into space with the X-Men but obviously they can't do that for licensing reasons.
I think you meant:
Cool!
Everyone outside of US will hear how bad it is and not waste their money going to see it 6 months after its released.
Rock on!
In addition to Sin City they're also filming Watchmen and V for Vendetta, two of my favourite Alan Moore stories - please, please don't let them screw it up..
Anarchy doesn't mean that. A true anarchist is someone who has a personal system of morals in place. When you know it is wrong to kill and you wouldn't do it, you don't need a law against it.
You've made a good point but it's my understanding that the reason why Earth is one of the few planets that can support life (the only one for all we know) in all its diversity is because of the excellent conditions and different climates that exist here. Therefore I'd assume that any Martian bacteria would thrive on Earth, like being in a sort of 'Bacterial Bermuda'. I would have thought that the laws of physics would dictate that any life on other planets would have to be pretty similar to that on Earth.
When carrying table legs always remember:
1. NEVER pretend it's a sawn off shotgun.
2. NEVER tell somebody in a pub you are going to kill them with a shotgun.
3. When confronted by armed police, PUT YOUR TABLE LEG DOWN. This is a good time to stop pretending you have a shotgun, or Darwinism may occur.
but how can you regulate face recognition? It's fundamentally no different from having a live cop recognize your mug
It's different enough in that there is currently no such thing as a God-like cop who knows exactly where you are at any given time. For example, in London there is a traffic congestion charging scheme which uses a computerised system that can read car licence plates via one of the great many cameras dotted around the city. I believe this system achieves very high results and catches a lot of non-payers. It's a lot different to being randomly pulled over by a cop for a check occasionally. Now I'm not saying we shouldn't have to pay our dues but it illustrates the kind of scale the system could work on. If this facial recognition system were to operate in a similar way, then it would obviously be a civil liberties issue for regulation. Currently it is illegal for the UK authorities to spy on their own citizens, which in effect is what would be happening.

Wow, I'd love to see that..
Agreed. It's a sure sign that a show is going to be rubbish when all the women look like Barbie dolls.
Also you can sometimes unlock DVD players by entering a code on the remote. Google for your make and model of player, and "region hack".

Try downloading Stuffit directly to a mac formatted floppy, not your hard drive. I think I remember that working for me.
You obviously didn't see "Andromeda". How I envy you...
My personal favourite. It was awarded a Hugo, the first time for an episode of a TV show.
Hey! I've still got one of those huge beige boxes, and it still works well - unlike all the PC's I've had from the same period..
...that is part 2. Part 1 was last week.

If I remember the comic books correctly, Harry Osbourne does come back as the Green Goblin - the Hobgoblin is a different character.

Some people have already seen the trailer on Bittorrent - er, so I hear...

Well thanks to cable TV, I now know everything there is to know about Sharks and World War II...
Incidentally, only 10 per cent of bacteria is bad so maybe we're missing out on some Martian goodness...
