Because tonight I am setting up VLC to send my America's Army video at 320x240 over my lan to my pocket pc, which will transport back wireless controls, allowing me to export my entire AA experience to a portable device. Now I can hide in the cupboard and play AA, while imagining people are looking for me.
What has this got to do with the story? Well, I have a PDA that runs a GBA emu, and a PC that runs lots of EMU's, and if I can export them to my PDA with.1 seconds lag, I think that would be teh fun.
And I have a PVR in my PC. so ner. seriously, anyone ever done this?

30 seconds is a measurement based on a measurment of distance that we observe because a light source moves in our field of vision during the movement of the object. Speed = Distance / Time. Time = Distance / Distance - because time can only be measured via relative distances. A clock hand, sand falling, an ceassium vibration.
Speed = distance / distance / distance.
Distance = Speed * Distance / Distance.
Get your head around that one! But before sundown ya hear I haven't got that much ti... erm... distance!
Funny how science spouts such bullshit, while being fooled by their own human nature of 'sun comes up, goes down, monday, another monday... time exists... shit there is a whole new galaxy right under our noses that we didn't see, but let's pretend we are clever enough to give credit to bullshit like string theory, and theory is > theory because evolution is theory'
This is basically cheap ass battery and GPS unit that is so over produced today they are cheaper than peanuts. By Peanuts I mean slightly premium quality ones, that may costs 30$ a unit.
And glue, well, that isn't exactly expensive, add on some air based cannon, not very expensive at all.
Of course, the whole process of development is expensive, so you should be glad when such development that your taxes goes into comes out with something that can reduce get aways, dangerous chases and crime.
Anyone need any further info? So sorry to say that you can't tell you girlfriend that her favourite vase will jump back off the floor and repair itself in a couple googlillion years.

I was called out to a small document writing office, as one of their older PC's was running out of space, they had no clue why.
Nothing installed, just basics. They had about a 20-25GB (Hooooeoeooewg at the time) hard disk.
I found almost 20gb of BMP files that the users had been storing, basically, random screen grabs. in BMP. Some were composite and were 8-16 mb files.
They had filled 20gb in BMP's, not even run length encoded. Most of it was black and white text, saved in a 32 bpp un compressed file.
more than 3000 BMP images.
*shudder* Almost makes you want to start some kind of 'save the hard disk' foundation.
Every year BMP files destroy an area of hard disk the size of the united kingdom. Act now, boycott bmp files on the web, and visit jpeg2000 compliant porn websites.
I wonder if fractal compression is actually better on lesbian porn that hetro porn.

It was fun, and more star wars than star wars.
BUT you have to wonder, the first blu-ray or hd-dvd discs will sell purely on the motivation that some people will want to get one until they get a drive, or will have a drive and buy any movie etc.
So they movies they release first may follow a starnge pattern of 'let me get mine in befoe there is too much buying competition'.
Also: DVD's are released so slow, which nobody has seemed to commenton:WHY? they have transformed the old film industry intot he music industry. Release old film, and track their sales in a chart.
They can ensure two 'blockbuster' old films (or new) aren't released too competatively on the dvd market so that each one gains as much as it can.
That is why 'dvd release' news sites sprang up.
I wanted to get the original Willy Wonka on DVD the other day at my local rental place, after seeing the horrificly bad new one... they said it hadn't been released, but a quick imdb shows it is.
Why does imdb on the fonrt page have 'now showing' with a 'buy your tickets' link, links to trailer,official site etc, but no links to reviews? hrm? hrm? hrm? or even a 'customer star rating'. internet-what?

What is scarey, cowboyneal put this CAPTCHA on his curriculem vitae.
Google will unveil its own low-price personal computer or other device that connects to the Internet.
Sources say Google has been in negotiations with Wal-Mart Stores Inc., among other retailers, to sell a Google PC. The machine would run an operating system created by Google, not Microsoft's Windows, which is one reason it would be so cheap -- perhaps as little as a couple of hundred dollars.
Bear Stearns analysts speculated in a research report last month that consumers would soon see something called "Google Cubes" -- a small hardware box that could allow users to move songs, videos and other digital files between their computers and TV sets.
Larry Page, Google's co-founder and president of products, will give a keynote address Friday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Analysts suspect that Page will use the opportunity either to show off a Google computing device or announce a partnership with a big retailer to sell such a machine.
Not that it may or may not be true, but speculation is speculation. Interestingly the word of the day is concrete.
Walmart the next Dell? Google to sell online? Is this made up?
Google is hoist by its own petard here - people write google friendly articles and want links from slashdot, so they write speculative peices about google.
