Netwosix sounds like something Homer Simpson would make
actually when i try to sound it out i picture someone more along the line of Julius Caesar from Life of Brian. that "w" in there seems to be the source of most of the problem, so i figure it must have been added by the person who made famous the phrase "thwow him to the fwow"
i don't think it's completely fair to compare a device with add-on $120 2GB capacity (that seems to be the going rate for big SD cards) to a Video IPod that has built-in 30 or 60GB capacity for video. i'm trying to decide myself if 2GB would be enough for on-the-go TV viewing, as it seems like i'm getting about 600MB per hour encoding TV to DiVX (at standard definition, shrinking down to match this screensize would be smaller, but i'm not sure exactly how much) and that seems like it'd be insufficient for plane rides and require a lot of file transfering for daily use. i would say that the PSP is probably the closest non-free competitor to the gpx2, given that both rely on similar flash RAM capacities and both actually support game playing (unlike the IPod), or hell something like an IPAQ would be more similar
does anyone have any other suggestions for TV to go devices, if games are only a slight priority and i don't want to shell out the $600 that the windows media player-to-go devices seem to cost
i've experienced a crashed IE taking down the explorer shell/taskbar as well as a crashed explorer window making IE unlaunchable (some sort of network timeout when exploring a mapped drive, and yes this was very repeatable). i would say that those are also issues with making a lower level system rely on a higher level app, it's another layer of risk that some people won't agree with.
i would think that if you stacked a facial recognition software layer on top of this, you would only have to store a very small personal identifier, timestamp and x,y,z coordinates of the sighting rather than any actual video. we may not have exotic facial recognition software yet, but if they're recording all this crap now when they don't have that, they're not going to want to stop when they do.
of those, only the XBOX360 was 2005. it seems like what you're saying is that 2006 is a good year for Power, whereas the article is saying that 2005 was.
that "remarkable being, clothed in brilliant white light" was actually Larry Sanger. see the first version of the story was that Larry is an alien who helped him build a remarkable new website. the second version of the story is "Digital Universe is the brainchild of, USWeb founder Joe Firmage and Larry Sanger". the third version of the story (due out in a couple years) will be "Joe Firmage conceived and founded Digital Universe, after previously managing a website devoted to space flight"
I'm not sure if you're aware of this but, as it turns out, Mao Zedong was from China, the most populous country in the world. So if it is one of the most published books, it might be because everyone in China got one.
i think it's in a drawer in the nightstand of every Chinese hotel room
that this won't be very marketable. unfortunately, my software success detector says the same thing about itself, so i haven't bothered posting and ad for it on Slashdot
i think you missed the part about "without court approval". here's some more information about what the NSA is supposed to be doing :
[Director Michael] Hayden said the NSA has not spied on Americans since the 1970s. Congressional committees, led by U.S. Sen. Frank Church and U.S. Rep. Otis Pike, found that government agencies, including the NSA, had eavesdropped on actress Jane Fonda, Dr. Benjamin Spock and other anti-Vietnam War activists.
As a result, Congress passed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which created a procedural structure with a special court for considering and approving certain surveillance activities that occur in the United States and involve rights guaranteed by the Constitution such as the ban on unreasonable search and seizure.
...
In certain cases, the NSA can look into the activities of U.S. citizens or residents if it believes they are acting as agents for another country. The agency must first get the permission of a special court created by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and then get the U.S. attorney general's consent.
Hayden said the burden of proof is on the NSA when seeking such authorization. He declined to say whether the agency had ever been turned down.
i'm curious though if cddb/freedb isn't exactly what these services are using. if you're not happy with the content of those databases, you may have to clean up after the very expensive ripping anyway
what is the deal with "housing" that has everyone so infatuated? for years it was "player mounts and housing", and every new game was supposed to have them. now games actually have mounts, but in a lot of ways it seems like their introduction was balanced by making things farther apart so that we're back where we started. now every new MMO is supposed to have housing, and i wonder if the only difference will be that you store your items in a house rather than a bank and instead of buying more bank space you buy a bigger house. so tell me, if i had a house in a game, what would i do with this house that was fun or interesting?
exactly, if he's worried about people spending time working on unimportant things, imagine a taskforce assigned with this responsibility :
According to the proposed amendment, the subjects of its control would include:...(2) format and content of web pages maintained by commonwealth agencies, constitutional offices, and other government entities
we now have an 8 member team deciding which portions of the state website need a bold tag and which don't. which group should be spending their time working on things that are more important, the IT department or the task force?

they'd much rather release it now than a year ago when we were voting
you must be new to WikiDot
so now we've gone full circle from UFOs to Time Travel, rather than freeing us from our tin-foil hats we'll need to double their thickness
always wanted to say that

no kidding, most of them need something to write/complain about anyway

i was thinking the same thing about Experian
if a per unit unique key was being used, wouldn't you have to buy a copy of a game that's encrypted for your unit?
right, but other than all that it's just marketing right?
as long as we have Jay Feely pilot the plane, we won't have to worry that it has such accuracy
if you have probable cause you can get a warrant, the OP was complaining about searches not requiring a warrant
