Oh, I'm pretty sure you could find people who would beat his record on human rights violations, and I don't even think it'd be that hard.
You'd just have to go back to the settling of the American west and how the US dealt with the indians.
Plenty of shame to go around in this country's history - but that doesn't make our ideals any less noble. It's just a shame that we don't always live up to them.
I don't know what the heck you're talking about; I can connect to this $40 access point I just bought three houses away.
I actually got outside and walked until I lost signal because I wasn't sure how serious I needed to be with security. If a $40 linksys can do it off the shelf, I don't think it's that hard to believe.
Mario Kart is truly good if you'd give it a chance; the terrain in the Desert Hills track would definitely meet your needs, and it's not alone.
Metroid coming in a few months looks great, Castlevania was great, Zelda is coming, and Tony Hawk is also fantastic. Not to mention the release of Animal Crossing next month, or the various games like Kirby, Nintendogs, and Trauma Center which aren't even really possible on any other system.
I really don't see your argument - by my experience, the DS by FAR a better selection of games than the PSP, and I really don't even see how you could argue otherwise unless you were just a huge GTA fan.
I think that's more cynical than reality deserves. Sure, you'll occasionally get an overworked public defender, but there are plenty that do good work.
Of course, I personally wouldn't want Johnny Cochran anywhere near my courtroom. I got this thing against zombies.
That would likely be considered prejudicial and as such inadmisable, as is not actual evidence, and therefor not relevant.
Of course, if you had an incompeted defense attourney, that doesn't mean it wouldn't go through. But then, if you have an incompetent attourney, you're already screwed.

I assure you, a significant amount of the flicker you see is absolutely caused by the progressive scanning.
Note, I never chimed in one way or the other on whether higher was better - I'm just saying that the progressive way that CRTs absolutely does induce flickering that isn't visible in other displays.

No, it's not. It's still got to draw them vertically down the screen; the full frame is not drawn all at once.
On an LCD or any other device that doesn't do scanning in this way, you'll see that flicker is essentially nonexistant at 60 hz - it really is a CRT limitation.
Actually, in the original novel Dracula, vampires were not injured by the sun. In one scene in particular, Dracula himself is seen doing some heavy lifting in broad daylight.
While there could very well be a precedent in myth, I think most of this sunlight killing vampires business started with the silent movie Nosferatu.
Agreed - I've got a 9600XT that's been a pain since I owned it, though it's nothing compared to the amazing Rage128 as far as bad drivers go.
I thought they'd gotten better since the 9700 when I bought the card - and they have. Just not as much as they need to. Their Linux drivers are still a joke - no 16-bit color, lacking features all over the place, and they ignore my monitor settings in the last release, so I can't do more than 1280x1024.
And for this slightly higher price, you get the benefit of shopping at a single location rather than spending all day in garage sales.
Given today's gas prices, you may well spend less:)
Agreed; I'm one of them. Of course, the lack of good printing support is still preventing it from getting used for offline media, but between Gimp and Inkscape, you can do just about anything online, and I personally find that Gimp is often the best tool for the job.
I've been around a bit, too - Photoshop and Fractal Design Painter on Mac, and DPaint 2 for DOS are what I started with. That doesn't mean my opinion is any more valid, but I have at least seen what else is available.
Not just that, but the story is factually incorrect, as well.
I exchanged several emails with Ashley yesterday because some of the claims the article makes aren't true - for one, the OS-free PC is cheaper than the Windows one when they're configured identically hardware wise. The reporter claimed that the price had changed, which may well be true with Dell's website, but it's been the same every time I looked.
Also, there is no "secret web page" as mentioned in the article - you just mouse over the "Desktop" link in the site's main menu and select "Open Source Desktops".
If you only played for 20 minutes, you likely didn't get the sheer joy of playing a level from a scale of a few inches up to the point of picking up entire island chains and major weather systems.
It took me just a bit to get into it, but after an hour and a half or so, I was completely hooked.
Looking at your link, I must say I'm somewhat disappointed to see it only hit the religious right. Certainly, you can lay some of the threat there - but they're not alone.
Plenty of people who would define themselves as moderates or liberals seem to be willing to give up much of their freedom if the request is phrased the right way.
Very few people seem to be concerned with losing their freedoms - though most don't realize what's possible just under current law.
And if you bring the subject up in public, it's automatically assumed you're just some crazy conspiracy theorist...
DS can also be flashed with a new firmware, so that it checks the GBA slot for DS homebrew on boot.
Alternatively, you can use Wifi to tell it to look at the GBA slot for homebrew, if you have an RALink card.
Personally, I think the DS is better in the long run, because it's not possible for Games to update the firmware - therefore, you only have to make a change once. With the PSP, any new game might come with updated firmware, and it may become more difficult to both play new games and use homebrew.
QMail should be able to handle it fine, though he should of course expect to have the load distributed to quite a few machines.
I'd probably also set up a sizeable group of mail gateways on incoming mail, to filter the mass amounts of spam and viruses that a million email addresses are going to bring.
Bitstream Vera Sans - and Bitstream Vera Sans Bold for the title.
The Bitstream fonts I'm using are quite nice - at least up to par with Arial and the other Microsoft fonts, if not a little better.
And this is coming from someone who used to import the mscore fonts within half an hour of setting up a linux box.

It really worries me how uninformed people are even over legislation they're aware of and (one way or the other) enthusiastic about.
There are plenty of specific, legitimate reasons not to like the Patriot Act, but no, this specific thing wasn't made legal by it.

It takes more than a stylus to make something a viable gaming platform, and you know it.
I've written for the palm before, and I don't think I ever will again - though I've heard it has gotten better since I last worked with it.
His game is completely skinnable, and you can use your own music.
Don't judge it by the default, but look at the skins that have been created, like at: http://headkaze.webpal.info/lumines.htm
Oh, please. The DS is getting a 3D Final Fantasy game in a few months; screenshots can be found here:

Real does play MP3s and streaming MP3 media. It also plays a variety of other things - basically whatever Helix player supports.
It's not perfect - I still use Totem for movies and whatnot - but Realplayer for Linux is actually a decent media player.
I never thought I'd see the day I'd recommend Real software for anything...

It doesn't have to be; Ruby's integration of AJAX features is actually quite painless, and can add some real functionality.

I wouldn't say it's any easier than Windows, but it certainly isn't any harder.

I've used the site before, and really, it is actually fairly readable most of the time - enough that I've used it to read foreign news fairly often.
In Japan, the DS is outselling every other piece of video game hardware - combined.
It's doing pretty well in America, too. I've got one, as do most of the guys my age that I know. Sales numbers are good over here.
And I can honestly say that I don't know anyone with a PSP - though that's obviously anecdotal and doesn't mean anything.
