What happens when the lights are off in the house can the robot dog then see the intruder? I do not see how Japanese people can waste their money like this in such a frivolous way. It's really absurd how obsessed they are with newer technologies that really do not have any benefit of the life we live today.
It's obvious this was not meant for a LAN / WAN indoor use. Who really would want to put up and foot the bill for a access point of this magnitude.
No one.
Companies could / might use it for inside their company...But being that it is alot cheaper to go with ethernet / wires.
Compare the costs of a huge switch / router with computers connected to it with a 12k AP that requires all of the computers inside the building to have a 50 dollar plus wifi card.
Not to mention the amount of interference / problems with wifi. Imagine the problems when their are close to 1k users inside a building.
It doesnt matter though...it's not fucking tangible.
If I liked a girl and someone I did not know came along and took her out from under me before I got a chance to date her / ask her out. Does that mean he is a thief? Is her love tangible / something to be valued by me that I could take someone to court for stealing it away from me.
When Diablo first came out their was a big craze at my school of people wanting to play it. People were always trading items around school via floppies and such ( mind you this is before Closed Battle.net ) and sometimes paying money for it.
I saw a oppurtunity.
Since this was before the major character hacking had came to be, I found a way to dupe items within the game and add sockets and everything else.
What did I do? I got all the best sets ( Immortal Kings etc. ) and began to dupe them by the hundreds. What did I do the following week at school?
"Hey were you not looking for the Immortal Kings set? I'll sell you the set for 5 bucks"
"Holy shit dude sure. *reaches into pocket and hands me 5 dollars"
The ethics of this? I'm just a guy turning a profit, thats all. Sure that I am violating the terms of the Blizzard.net and probably should be banned. But in the court of law I would / could not be charged for any crime.
Is it considered theft If I have a friend that works at Office Max that gets 50% discounts on harddrives. And I buy one from him for half off and pay 30 dollars. And I sell it to someone for 70? After all it is deception by a moral standpoint by selling it to him for 70 dollars. Doesnt matter how I got the item, just that I sold it to him for a bigger price than I paid for it.
Lineage II is a game in which characters are allowed to compete with each other for assets that have real-world value, just as with an on-line poker match. Taking somebody's money in Lineage II is no worse (or better) than slow-playing a hand of Texas Hold 'Em until some poor sap goes "all in" against you, and then cleaning them out.
You sir make a really retarded point, whoever modded you insightful must be drunk or delusional.
People that play MMORPGS go into the game for the enjoyment of it and the EXPERIENCE. The experience includes being able to kill someone in the game and they can kill you. Some games revolve solely around that fact ( Conquer Online ) Its a risk you take as soon as your outside a safe zone inside the MMORPG that someone could PK you and take your stuff. The same can be true for you killing them. These possessions have no real world value. They are only valued because some people have a craving for them. Other than that the common sense standpoint is that they are not worth anything in the real world
Lint / dirt is worthless to most people. Just because some people like it enough ( MMORPG nerds ) to pay for it doesnt make it have a real actual value.
You play onlike poker because you have a credit card or banking account and assume the risk / know that you are gambling / taking a risk with real money. You dont hear people that lose in gambling sites threatening to lock you up because you took their money from them do you?
Who says Lineage 2 is not a recreational game? Probably 90% of the people who play it consider that.
Never succeed in the US. How can something as trivial as a video game relate to real life? So he PK'd someone and sold their stuff for real money? If I steal your loot that you did not bother to pickup because it was worthless to you do that make me a thief? If I accidentally hit a monster you had just targeted ( a KS ) does that make it a attempted theft?
If I gamble in a video game ( some MMORPGS have gambling ) does that make it illegal in my state / country if gambling is illegal?
Japanese people never cease to amaze me in their stupidity.
I live in a small town in North Carolina. Around 45 minutes away from me is the capital of Raleigh, probably one of the most tech saavy / heavy places in the United States. They have xDSL / FTTC / Cable / Wireless solutions etc.
Being that I live in a small rural town ( like the rest of the state ) I am very limited on the whole broadband thing. We have cable in our county, but its a locally owned monopoly called Johnston County cable ran by a bunch of aging rednecks. None of their equipment can carry a cable signal nor do they care. Scratch cable as a solution
Satellite is out of the question. The lag is so immense that I can forget about online gaming. And the caps on downloading keep me very far away from even thinking about it.
Wireless is non existant.
The last solution is the local telephone monopoly. Sprint.
I pay 59.99USD a month for 512k / 128 DSL from Sprint. Why so high? No competition. The reason? No other broadband solutions are available because I live in a rural town.
Nevermind the fact that Sprint has interleaving on my line, equating to 60ms to my first hop.
Dont expect one country to be exactly like the other. Apples and oranges people. Plus the whole thing of states and counties having laws which might affect how / when / you get broadband.
For all you gamers out there, this is sort of an intuitive concept, right? How many times have you missed the doorbell, telephone or significant other trying to get ahold of you in the middle of a Doom/Marathon/Unreal fragfest? You increase the number of participants (and thus tasks to attend to) and you decrease your situational awareness of your immediate surroundings.
Those fucker doctors that my mom took me too when I was 13 were liars. They called what you speak of ADD. Put me on Ritalin for nothing. Those money hungry insensitive clods.
You are making it out to be that Google is not developing new ways to do various things which is a product of RESEARCH.
Almost all researchers are motivated by the thought of producing something that will benefit mankind in some way shape or form...but also that they will be able to make a buck off of it.
Where would the medicine field / area be without drug companies funding research to make a buck...but also helping out mankind in the process.
Corporate interest's stampeding the rights of the average Joe to earn his living. It's the same between the US and the UK no matter how you look at it. Their will always be something to this effect in any supposed "democratic" goverment.
Notice the fact that they proposed a bill on something that is only going to happen once and is not covered under the British constitution. It's complete utter bullshit. What sucks is the opiate masses are too lazy or down trodden to take note since this problem only affects the people trying to take advantage of the upcoming Olympics ( bar keeps and the like ).
I have never gotten a spam email on my personal email account. EVER.
Simple solution if you dont want spam, choose a free email service such as Gmail or Excite or any of the millions. Any time you'r registering for a site / forums / anything. Use that email...
The other email is your personal email, never put that email anywhere on the net.
The article states that 29% of the music comes from duplication means. 19% from illegaly downloaded music.
Where does the other 45% come from? Last I checked those are the only two ways to acquire illegal music. I'm probably oversighting something. The other 45% just can't appear in front of you by some other means than mentioned above.
2:57:36 AM: yes
2:57:44 AM: it happens, power is getting expesnive
2:58:21 AM: Im saying though...
2:58:27 AM: I mean for individual servers
2:58:36 AM: not for the individual servers, but usually for everyone
2:58:44 AM: Well heres what I mean
2:58:46 AM: Well I'm posting on slashdot about using mod_gzip for less bandwidth usage....and some guy replied back saying that using mod_gzip increases CPU cycles, I argued back that who cares....using extra CPU cycles doesnt cost you money from a datacenter...bandwidth does...he counters back with a stupid arguement saying that using more CPU cycles uses more electricity on the server...which equates to money, to which I replied no datacenters ever charge you for electricity / overages on power....he replies back that "I'm sure they pass the cost of electricity on to you, the customer. If their bills start going up I'd bet they raise your rates."
2:58:49 AM: though some that can measure power usage can do that, but i think that's just an excuse
2:59:18 AM: DC's never charge for you using your full power / wattage of your PSU
2:59:18 AM: It's a averaging out thing
2:59:30 AM: nobody is going to invest in equipment to measure the power of each server, it simply is stuipd
2:59:55 AM: He is trying to argue semantics....saying that using mod_gzip will lead to a whole entire datacenter raising its rates on the whole
3:00:09 AM: Or just for you ( but no DC has ever charged to my knowledge on a per user basis )
3:00:21 AM: It's stupid argument
3:00:26 AM: Yea I know:/
3:00:32 AM: the electricity use is simply insignificant
3:00:38 AM: Exactly

Straight from the a friend of mine that works at a prominent datacenter in California.
God you really are trying to argue semantics on a fucking moot point.
I'm too tired to explain to you how retarded that comment is in context to a multi-million dollar business like a datacenter. You think that they care if you are using 30 more Watts of electricity which doesnt equate to them having an extra 100 dollars on their power bill. They dont care / would never raise rates because of their power bill....They only raise rates when bandwidth availability / rackspace becomes a premium or their demand goes up. Not just because of something as trivial as your 30 extra Watts of power being used because your using Gzip.
And your acting like Gzip would be maxing your CPU out 99% of the time.
Simple, Mozilla / Firefox is free. Opera is great, Firefox has many features which it took from Opera. Would you pay for something that you can get for free?
Did not think so. Thats the reason people use Firefox more than Opera, because it is free..if two things have the exact same features ( not saying Opera and Firefox do, but Firefox took along from Opera ) and one is free and one is not. Which is the logical choice.
Your trying to debunk what I said. The reason they get all of the money from the advertisements are because....GASP...people like the browser so much they are willing to put up with one banner ad at the top of it.
You didnt read what I said in the context I typed it.
A Slashdot user that bought a Dell PC....come on now. Your average Slashdot user knows damn well its cheaper to build one yourself. So theirs your whole OS comes with the computer thing arguement out the window.
How are those the tastes of a 14 year old boy? What man on Earth does not want to be a certified porn star with a 15 inch flaccid penis? NOT A SINGLE GODDAMN ONE.
Pirates are kickass too ( And I'm not copying Maddox - I always wanted to move to Malayasia and become a pirate ) What man would not want to have some badass scar with some really truly fantastic story behind it?
"How did you get that scar Bob?"
"I was chasing down a suspected robber and beat him to death with my peg arms and legs. The scar is from him managing to blindside me due to my eyepatch, he caught the best of me with a knife to the chest"
No guy on Earth would not want to have a badass scar with a badass story.
You apparently are a metosexual sir. Good day to you.
Real men would want to be anything I listed in the parent post.
People that complain about the ads at the top of the trial versions of Opera are complete faggots. If a company wants to give you a free trial of something they are going to at least either disable something / add something annoying / or limit number of uses.
Why is it when Google used context sensitive ads in Gmail people did not complain half as much as they do about Opera's free trials. Opera is loads better / faster / more stable. Most of the Firefox "innovations" came from Opera.
People say that Opera only sucks because it costs money, how many people in the open source community / Slashdot actually paid for their version of Windows? Probably less than 4%. I bought Opera a long time ago and have stuck with it ever since. If you want Opera so bad just google for a serial.
Opera's yearly earnings are a testament to how badass the browser is. People are willing to pay for something in that niche ( the browser market ) that they could easily get for free ( Firefox / IE ) Thats a testament to how great Opera is.
