It's hard to do your first time, but if you're really having trouble there are forums for it. Try Shoryuken.com's tech/hardware section. There are many people who will build a custom controller for you. Happ controls has pretty much any arcade joystick part you could ask for. As for compatibility, I don't have a clue, ask an expert.
No one with any real clout in the OSS industry has ever claimed that OSS is 100% free of evil code simply because it's open. What usually happens is exactly what happens here, the problem is discovered and disclosed to the community. Now how different that is from a closed-source offering I don't know because I've never worked with anything like that. But with open source the code is there and you're free to review it if you want to and know how.
Yeah, that's a great idea. Take something that you don't want to break a lot and is already prone to premature breaking and shut it off and on a lot. Stop and go traffic is bad enough, but everyone knows that a sure-fire way to destroy a mechanical device quicker than normal is to keep turning it off and on. No thanks, cause planned obsolescence is already bad enough as it is.
You, sir, will likely also live to be 102 and b perfectly healthy other than a few minor hiccups while the go green eat healthy guy will keel over with cancer at 56. Live strong, mate. Live STRONG!
That question is only valid when the house's location can be spoofed. A better analogy is if the feds get a report that a sniper is shooting out of a window at an officer at a certain address. Would the best response be an air-strike, a SWAT team, or a single patrol car to investigate first before calling in back-up?
Really, now. Competitive gaming has been about gambling since there was competitive gaming. I'll never forget the naive youngster I was trying to reach the top in competitive Street Fighter when I see a couple of people taking bets on a match between some of the local best. I was appalled, intrigued and uncaring all in that order. It was kinda shocking, but it doesn't really surprise once you think about it and it doesn't even change the game all that much... maybe. Who cares besides haters?
I'm pretty sure that there was some ruling in a lesser court that basically said that the internet is a right, not a privilege. At least, that's what the language was alluding too, and even talking in the media that way. But of course when you commit a crime you loose all your rights, right? Nope, you serve time and then get them back either fully or under some form of monitoring, such as having to check in with a parole officer or participating in group sessions. we always seem to want to especially crucify pedophiles when all they really are is another form of criminal. They don't even get a decent break in jail for crying out loud.
I don't think so. The reason people don't get their PCs serviced when they get infested with cybervermin is that they see the overall cost as too high an investment when they could just go buy a new system that will work 100% guaranteed as opposed to playing whack-a-mole with screwy software. Unless they're in the know that a wipe and reinstall can re-create that like new PC experience pain-free, then people will most likely always go for something new as opposed to shelling out more and more to fix their old systems. A tax break isn't going to change that.
Starting a business is a great thing to do! However, unlike how the conservative, pro-consumerism people who propose starting a business as the simple solution to your each and every economic woe will tell you, it is a very difficult thing to do and you will likely spend a large amount of time and energy making it profitable in the first place. If you don't have money in the first place, then forget it. If you can't live for a while without your normal steady income, then forget it. Basically, unless you're really lucky and are able to get funding to start, or you come up with some brilliant money-making idea that requires $0 start-up you're in for a long ride till your first real profit.
In real life people have jobs because they either cannot or do not want to start their own business, so simply saying "if you would have invested x amount of time doing y then you'd" whatever is just making a big assumption without really considering what you're saying. Go ask a successful business manager how much more he could accomplish if he spent less time on the golf course (assuming he golfs). I'm sure he would not take it well.
If the immigration system wasn't so fucked up to begin with we wouldn't be seeing this. Corruption in Mexico and on this side of the border is largely what causes the problems that this stupid card is supposed to fix. It will not fix them. Illegal aliens are nothing if not highly intelligent and resourceful. The U.S. government is nothing if not blundering and ill-managed. This will not fix the problem, but instead introduce new problems for those who didn't have them before. The cards will solve nothing. I have illegal immigrants in my family who work here and I would love to see an opportunity for them to be able to be able to stay and make a living, but not at this cost. I refuse to trade freedom for a slightly and increasingly lesser form of freedom. I will be putting the word out that the US has its balls trapped on the immigration issue and that people should not be quick to support something just to get what they think they want only later to discover that it's actually a pair of shackles. Technology is not magic.
I don't have this problem with recent AMD processors, but I certainly do with Intel's. With Athlons it basically comes down to Athlons in 2 and 4 core variety, upper end is Phenoms with 2, 3 or 4 cores the Black edition of those which are supposedly for better overclocking, Opterons for sever and workstation, Semprons for budget computing. there's different dies and configurations But Intels, I can't even begin to name. I guess there's Celeron Pentium and Core. All of those have vastly different configurations, but b with Core it got really confusing cause they went from core2 to I7 and then I5 and now I3. WTF, Intel? Can you make this easier, please? This is a large part of the reason I completely over look your processors.
Why would you ever want to charge batteries through a USB port anyway? Last I heard, PCs require a handy-dandy AC socket connection to the power supply. Which means you could charge your batteries from there without having to install any software. Why would you ever need to install software to charge a battery? There's probably a light on it somewhere that can tell you when the battery is fully charged, but of course people want yet another icon on the task-bar and another app to start up in MSCONFIG and slow down their PC and conflict with other software mad dashing to load first. This is a stupid product to begin with, double win for it being taken off the market.
Dude needs to learn how to use Google before he takes on a task of this magnitude. Or, more aptly, before TALKING about taking on a task of this magnitude, which is all he's doing at the moment.
Ironically, on the Iron Realms MUDs that I play things do change all the time. Some type of quest, major occurrence or world-changing event happens at least once every two weeks.
It's WoW and other popular MMOs that are boring because they never change except after an expansion release, or an engine tweak. Which is what? Every two years or so. Oh, and someone might trigger a quest that does something "world-changing" every 30 minutes or so. Of course you'll be completely tired of it by the third time you see it.
The reason Morgan Webb's Webb Alert podcast is "suspended" is because Morgan was told to stop doing that since it competed with the The Feed segment on AOTS which up until recently was also podcast.
Great. Now all I can think of is Morgan Webb vs. Layla Kayleigh in a duel of some sorts. Maybe with an added interesting twist like in the mud, or a pool of jello, or perhaps motor oil.

There's always thing like pen & paper gaming or LAN parties ant the like. Us geeks have our get-togethers and meet-n-greets just like everyone else.
Anyway I could mount a fan to that? Could kinda use more cooling for this Phenom I got overclocked...

I bet you roll over and go to sleep immediately after orgasm, too. (Yes, I am aware that this is /.)

And what's wrong with a site like that? You're not paying for the sex service, but merely to find people to have sex with. Big difference there.

Nevermind. After RTFA I see they threw some games. This also happened at some major SF tournys, which I forgot all about. Still it's not surprising.

What you ask for is worthless without any way to reliably verify it. The real answer is true privacy for all.

I'd love to take a shot at the prize money. Now, will Toyota kindly release the source code to their electronic throttle systems?
What was that? No?
Didn't think so.

Word. I did this back when I was a temp in oh... '99, 2000'ish on a rather large network. I'm rather sure it would take much less time today.
