seems like the 2nd frame in the animatation was rotated so that i'll resemble the original so we can notice the difference. is it just me or was the rover extremely tilted to take that 2nd image. i mean i might understand a 5-10 degree tilt or difference, but this is like a 15 degree difference.
or maybe because people no longer have much expectation for the 3rd one. you know how when you have high expectations for a movie (like Matrix 2), the movie usually ends up not meeting your expectations. after seeing SW1 and 2, i've given up any expectation on the movie, and will just enjoy it as if it was a stand-alone.
Why can't people realize that special-purpose devices work best with special-purpose OSes?
that requires pumping money into research for a product they won't know if it'll do well. it's a lot cheaper to take the easy way out and put an existing program onto your hardware which you know will work, even though it's less efficient or more bug-prone.
it's similar to how many companies use the symbian OS as their cellfone OS, which i personally dislike because of the lag between input and displaying on the screen and the sometimes long load times.
Symbian licenses Symbian OS to the world's leading handset manufacturers. The following Symbian OS licensees have Symbian OS-based mobile phones in production and / or in development: Arima, BenQ, Fujitsu, FOMA, LG, Lenovo, Mitsubishi, Motorola, Nokia, Panasonic, Sendo, Sharp, Siemens, Samsung and Sony Ericsson. In 2004, over 14 million Symbian OS-based mobile phones were sold worldwide and almost 25 million have been sold to date.
Although it's true w/ impulse buys and such that buy lowering the price from 99cents to 5cents will help the industry grow exponentially, but that will only be initially, because there's usually only a set amount of music released a week or month. Once a user has gotten all the music he wants, the impulse buys on the new music will not compensate for the price decrease.
In other words, outta the new songs that come out each week, for every one new song I buy now, I'd have to buy 20 new songs under the new pricing scheme which I don't really see happening.
Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. (from http://www.google.com/corporate/)
i don't see how providing VoIP would organize or make information accessible and useful... just doesn't seem to have any part of their mission statement.
regarding the login hash, was it a static hash key no matter how many times you logged in? or was it like a session key type of deal where logging off and logging back in would change it.
Who is to say that the cellphone companies weren't the ones who designed this virus to catch unsuspective victims who pay their bill w/o looking over it?
i would think the damage u cause to a laptop by mashing the keyboard to just get the extra power would not be smart. laptop keyboards are very delicate. and often times you see someone's laptop with a broken key or two. imagine losing an important key such as the left ctrl, alt, or one of the more often used alphabets.
on the other hand, if you can just bring a crank (hidden inside your power adapter or under your laptop) pull it out and start cranking, i feel this will give you more power in less time.
of course, then you wont be able to have a valid reason to mash your keyboard;p
i've been using yahoo for years and i get about 3000 spams per month which averages to about 100 spams a day. not quite as much as you, but i get about 1 spam a week that falls into my regular inbox. however, some of my newsletters which i subscribed to did get marked as spam and after marking them as not spam a couple of times, yahoo spam filter was smart enough not to do it again.
[x] Download the full version of Adobe Reader (recommended) [x] Download the Adobe Yahoo! Toolbar [x] Also download free Photoshop Album 2.0 Starter Edition software
All 3 boxes were checked by default. All I wanted was Adobe Reader and if I was lazy and didn't bother reading, I would've downloaded and installed Yahoo! Toolbar and Photoshop Album 2.0 SE
The reason I believe for the price increase is generally in 1 full album, there's about 12-16 tracks and only about 2-3 of them are worth listening to. The others are just mainly crap, which comes along w/ the package. assuming that these cds cost about $12-16, it comes out to be the same amount of money per track like iTunes and other downloadable music services. However since people are allowed to mix and match now and aren't forced to buy the entire album, hardly anyone will buy a full album, unless there's a lot of good tracks on it. Assuming the guestimate I provided above is true, intead of making $12-16/album now, they're only making $2-3.
On a side note, ATI will also be releasesing a 512MB version. Even though ATI acknowledges there will probably be no performance benefits to bumping the memory support, they believe there will still be a large market of "people who don't know better" that'll purchase it.
They probably canceled it to produce Serenity Status: Post-production
The film centers around Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the losing side) of a galactic civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, "Serenity." He leads a small, eclectic crew who are the closest thing he has left to family -- squabbling, insubordinate and undyingly loyal. When Mal takes on two new passengers -- a young doctor and his unstable, telepathic sister -- he gets much more than he bargained for. The pair are fugitives from the coalition dominating the universe, who will stop at nothing to reclaim the girl. The crew that was once used to skimming the outskirts of the galaxy unnoticed find themselves caught between the unstoppable military force of the Universal Alliance and the horrific, cannibalistic fury of the Reavers, savages who roam the very edge of space. Hunted by vastly different enemies, they begin to discover that the greatest danger to them may be on board "Serenity" herself.

In the interests of creating employment opportunities in the Java programming field, I am passing on these tips from the masters on how to write code that is so difficult to maintain, that the people who come after you will take years to make even the simplest changes. Further, if you follow all these rules religiously, you will even guarantee yourself a lifetime of employment, since no one but you has a hope in hell of maintaining the code. Then again, if you followed all these rules religiously, even you wouldn't be able to maintain the code!
One thing funny does happen when friends drop by w/o notice or when the UPS guy tries to deliver something when you're not home. Since the telephone directory that you ring up is usually a landline, there shouldn't be any problems when you're not home. But like my friend who lives across from me in my apartment ccomplex, has the directory system dial to his cell. Works fine when you're at home, but when you're not at home, you still get those calls and if you do pick up, you'll have to explain you're not really at home and that the directory system is calling your cell.
I guess then again, w/ caller id, you'll know if it's the telephone directory system calling you, and you just won't pick up if so.

they forgot about exceem too. exceem claims:
2. Bittorrents are spyware free.
3. Bittorrents are adware free.
but that's misleading since Exceem (not bittorrent) contains spyware: cyberGOLD.

that's right, we forgot that mac users only want one mouse button. can't call it a pc if the mouse doesn't have 2 or more.

Anime films without Pokémon in their titles haven't fared well at the US Box office (see Appleseed, Tokyo Godfathers, Ghost in the Shell 2, et al.).
How bout the works of Hayao Miyazaki such as Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, etc.
I just don't believe it's only pokemon animes that did well in USA.
just imagine, someone installed a keylogger onto just 1 atm machine... the horror!

A search on google finds: ESRB Game Ratings - Game Rating & Descriptor Guide
But what happens are these ratings aren't enforced during purchase. I have here an article: Minors Buying M-Rated Games
Just like if the theaters don't enforce the rating, children can sneak in or in this case purchase video games that weren't intended for their age.

Students attending this university next semester will encounter a tuition increase tacked on as Technology Fee (aka Slashdot Effect).
an IBM-Compatible PC would no longer mean a computer running DOS or Windows, but Linux!
I remember back in the days when asked what type of computer you had was either an Apple or IBM-Compatible.

also, given these are microprocessors, when they have instruction jumps, wouldn't it be a concern if the address they're jumping to is slightly off?
I did. and I'm supporting him, and not the article starter.
I love Verdana! It's one of the better fonts overall (better than Arial imo) and I even have it as the default font for all my menus and icon text.
I can't believe that you said Verdana sucks (besides the fact maybe microsoft owns it).
