Ten years ago, SONY began making integrated stereo components, designed to interact with each other. I found this an exciting and enticing trend until I discovered if I wanted to take advantage of it, I'd have to completely replace all components in my system -- no accommodations for any "foreign" components.
I know JVC had a similar system, and I'm sure other consumer audio manufacturers did as well. I don't think Sony is special in this case.
Oh, this will be as great as watching Neo Geo fanboys talk about how superior their $200 game cartridges are and how much clearer the colors are on Fatal Fury 14 than that 16-bit system.
...in today's world. 'Fancy' usually amounts to an Olive Garden or some other such chain restaurant, whose prices are reasonable. If we were talking about the 1600's, this would be a different story, of course. Fancy restaurants were all the rage, because it wasn't about being full, it was about impressing people. Then again, everyone had head lice in the 1600's. Go figure.
In the modern world, people want what is cheap and gives them the most for their money.
Not so. In my part of the US, even the cheaper sit-down restaurants try to out do each other with frills and presentation, and there are vicious flamewars over which high-end steakhouse is the best. Late-night sushi shops in New York City have elaborate setpieces and decor without being out of range of the average Joe.
oh sure, any school can give you an academic challenge if you push yourself. i don't think a school should ever give an easy ride just because you've passed the entrance requirements.
I have no idea how it is now, but when I was figuring out financial aid, folk wisdom said that middle-class families would receive the lease financial aid. Not poor enough to qualify for significant aid and not rich enough to afford it without heavy borrowing.
You know why it matters to you? (The generic/. reader you, that is)
Because you're a geek. Preproduction hardware and experimental phases of things are interesting for their own sake, whether practical or not. This is why Slashdot posts articles on things like overclocking a 486SX to 147 MHz and other completely impractical junk.
There was a time when this would only be questioned on its technical merits, but waiting for an actual product is just a bit sorry.
The virtual money is not actually legal tender anywhere but in the game. It is not guaranteed to be worth anything by the Federal Reserve, but by the game publisher. They agree that they will pay you X dollars for Y game dollars, but if they go under, you're fucked.
Do they randomly overclock chips on the board? I know there are cycle-accurate Genesis emulators. If there are such for the SNES, wouldn't it make sense to hack the emulator first to see what effect overclocking particular components will have?
Have you had problems with you phone not allowing connections after a disconnect? I always have to power cycle mine before using a Bluetooth function of any sort.

A perfect example is this joke. People link forever, and nobody will just paste the stupid joke into the form!
any USB event will wake a PowerBook up as well. just plug or unplug something just after clsoing it
Which part of the XPrize got something into orbit?
But the hard drive upgrade alone for the white macbook is only $50
I don't recall the N64 being horrendously overpriced. The games were, but not as ridiculously so as the PS3 games.
There hasn't been a Saturn-style bomb yet, either. The Xbox 360 had launch games that functioned.

Especially with only Gilligan and the Captain as competition.

There is the possibility that the IPO itself is outsourced to a financial consultant of some sort, I suppose.
I'm pretty sure he was replying to this:
Also, when you enter your account number it successfully looks up your account information, a phishing scam wouldn't be able to do that.
But you type in all caps, so you must be right.
Don't get cocky. They still make it hard to get in.
Until a couple years ago Brown used financial aid need data for admissions. Too poor? Can't go in.
Ivy League universities are greatly rumored to pad grades in order to keep their high reputations.
Hell, at Brown your entire freshman year is pass/fail.
You're right. The only thing it was really good for was running multiple versions of the Linux kernel at the same time.
Linux can be run on top of a Mach microkernel. Apple supported an effort to do this called mkLinux which ran on both Intel and PowerPC hardware.
If it can go more than 6 months without being in the shop, then it's got a big advantage over any VW I've known.

You're missing the point. Nearly everybody runs negative campaigns these days: winners and losers alike.
Hey, I never said it wasn't stupid :) Remember, that iTunes Music Store song went up to multiple thousands of dollars before getting cancelled.

Almost all the losers run negative campaigns, too.
