You should have been more specific, because it reads the same either way. Life is a pretty generic word. Maybe saying life "as an average human in today's world." Even so, no two people are not on fire.
Life is accessible to anything that is living. You might have working eyes, but other people don't. Not every living thing "sees" its world through visual input, as other types of sensory input exist.
No, I use a video capture card as well because the picture is nicer and it means I don't need to own a TV. I've had many systems hooked up to it and I can tell you that it's more than adequate for playing video games on. The cards that sit on the PCI bus are the best. Just don't expect to have a great experience with the external digitizers that communicate over USB or Firewire.
Most if not all of the "hype" on the Internet for Snakes on a Plane appeared to be making fun of the movie itself. I don't know how that would be considered positive. I think the situation that the PS3 is in now is similar to that of Snakes on a Plane as there are groups that enjoy ripping on Sony's various blunders (if you didn't already notice from reading Slashdot.)
Plus, even the really rich get put off having to re-buy all their movies.
How is this even an argument against the high def formats? Because I see it every time someone is putting down Blu-Ray/HD-DVD. You could only buy newer movies in the new format or only rebuy the movies you actually really like. It's not like your new BD player will fly around your house zapping your DVD collection with a laser.
Personally, I don't like IDEs. They force you into another's way of programming, and encourage sloppy design by allowing the management of needless complexity. They make it easier for thoughtless programmers to maintain bad code, by postponing the day when the codebase collapses under its own weight.
How exactly? I primarly use Visual C++ 6's IDE and have found, as with other development environments like IntelliJ, all they really seem to be good at is helping you to organize your projects files and automate the building process. Their debuggers are also often fairly nice. When I'm using Linux, I have vim, make, and gdb. The fact that I do not have these tools integrated in an environment similar to something like Visual C's means I have to do a lot of switching between terminal sessions. It's often easier to work on a project if everything is mostly in one place.
Development environments seem to provide ease of use and not much else. How do they "force" people to maintain bad code?
I have it set up like this too, but that damn bubble keeps popping up every 5 or 10 minutes reminding me to reboot. So the machine gets rebooted anyway after the 20th time I've been reminded.
I used to have a pretty bad CD-ROM drive in a server that would spin down while reading for no apparent reason. I eventually found out (probably because I accidently bumped it) that smacking the face of the drive HARD a few times would not only cause it to make some interesting buzzing and wobbling noises, but it would eventually spin back up and continue to read data.
And I will say it again, I don't think the remote will not work well with FPS - not that the joystick is a great alternative either.
It seems to me as if the pointing device and joystick (similar to a mouse and keyboard) would be superior to a gamepad in a FPS. It sure looks nicer than having to move two analog sticks or using an analog stick and shoulder buttons (with fixed looking up and down speeds.)
I watched one of those PSP commercials and at the end it told me that the PSP was better than carpet. I happen to like my carpet samples more thank you very much.
The lessons are that $4000 is not worth risking your life over, that that is what you are doing if you are foolish enough to volunteer for medical testing whatever promises you receive not withstanding, and that if you are so foolish you will be left to die by the company responsible without legal recourse should things go wrong. In other words, only an ignorant would sign up for medical testing. I predict a decline in voluntary test subjects, and a rise in the use of prisoners and other "disposable" human subjects.
This was obviously something the submitter put in, and it's pretty disgusting that it would make the front page. If this were a comment I have a feeling it would have been modded down to oblivion. How many times is it necessary to call these people ignornat and foolish?
One of my friends told me a story about one of those ancient hard drives (I believe he said it was from a professor) with the gigantic platters in the huge boxes. Well apparently, the drive head was moving back and forth fast enough to really shake the cabinet, which ended up dislodging one of the platters, which broke free from its case, rolled across the hallway of the building where it was being stored, then proceeded to smash through a brick wall and finally land on top of an employee's car in the adjacent parking lot completely crushing a good portion of it. I have my doubts if this was actually true, but it's still damn funny.
I wouldn't complain too much. Women are getting entire technology related websites trying to cater specifically towards them while men are still stuck with being the subjects of asinine studies conducted by members of our gender obsessed society who think some of "the dudes" are stepping too close to the edge of their gender role.
And let's admit it, men like to control women, weather they be digital or real. Games just makes it easier for men to control beautiful women.
Don't be so ignorant. There are a lot of games where you're stuck with what your character looks like for a potentially long time. Since I have a choice, I don't pick the often fugly males. I don't know where you pulled your idea out of, but basing your opinion of everyone on a stereotype can be pretty offensive.
I'm not sure what this obsession with "does system X have mature titles" is all about. I could care less about the specific content of a game; there are plenty of "mature games" that completely suck. I am more concerned if a game is going to be fun. (People still play games to have fun right?)
You're right, and it annoys me too. It seemed as if no one really considered to look at how the technology was intended to work as in: APs broadcast SSIDs to advertise their presence, and unless communication is encrypted, anyone can request to join the network. Of course, the reality of the situation is not being conveyed correctly to most consumers. I haven't bought an AP which has said in a really obvious place something like "the default configuration of this device allows anyone to use your Internet connection. If you do not want to share your connection with others then follow these steps.."
Most of the previous discussion seemed to focus on arguing about different aspects of various inappropriate analogies. I read through a few of these and the whole issue became more confusing as the discussion progressed than it really should have been. And no, not everything has to fit with the current exisiting ideas of what's right and wrong in regards to physical property.
What should be considered "public" and "private" with these devices is profoundly straightforward. Manufacturers should have made it clearer to the end user what they were getting themselves into.
Some advanced printing features would be nice. I know some people are already aware of this problem, but it would be nice if you could print pages as they're displayed. Sometimes there are noticable rendering errors in the print preview that do not appear when actually viewing some pages. Also, a print cropping feature would be extremely useful.
Because Slashdot only seems to have one legal section (YRO) and no one has made a generic one. This is despite the fact that most of the stories posted under this section usually have nothing to do with your rights online as people often point out.
n the case of the Sony ads people are seeing one instance of a white woman being agressive towards a black woman and assuming there is deep anti-black meaning behind it. Really, Sony's ad firm was trying to create a black vs. white ad campaign about the color of the PSP and used white and black people to help convey that message.
I'm really shocked that Sony decided that they needed to use sex to sell PSPs. I don't remember Nintendo having silver/white women battling to sell the DS.

Of course, if you're of the more discerning adult crowd who is PS3-bound, this list would look more like:

You should complain to Sony. They seem to be leaking bad news at an alarming rate.

I just downloaded Road House from the site and it's in MP3 format. I doubt you have to worry about any DRM getting in the way.
They suck their research to a white surface accidently and could not locate it afterwards..

No, what was said is exactly correct. It isn't limited to IT by any means.
