Well, it does have uses beyond that of video. DVD may hold the consumer market in terms of video, and may be good enough, but there are people looking for that next big media format. The size of PC and Console games is getting larger and larger, and the requirements for interactive hi-def gaming are pushing the limits of the current media format.
If anything at all, one (or both) will win and be primarily a data storage format.
Humans are natural, but the things they create, or do to existing things are not always considered that way. That is the difference between natural, and man-made.
The process of in-vitro fertilization is an unnatural one, but the resulting child development and growth, is natural.
It's not that humans exist outside of nature, it's the fact that what they do sometimes does.

"natural world" refers to light found naturally, without artificial generation or alteration. In this case, they're doing something that makes it bend in a way that it doesn't naturally do without our intervention.
They let him guest lecture at MIT. But it was so the students could make fun of him during the Q&A portions. I don't know where the video is, but it is funny.
That's because of private property. The railroads OWN the lines, so they are allowed to protect their intrests. Keep in mind that any of those "police" that can actually arrest anybody, are normally bonded by the city/state they live in. That's how it worked at the amusement park that I worked at. Some of the security was just that, security. Some of the security were bonded patrolmen, that could arrest, and carried a firearm.
Fuck people in general, because they've allowed marketing in general, including advertising, to completely brainwash them.
Didn't notice. I was too busy listing to my iPod while sitting in my Laz-e-boy, watching Guess Who on my Dell laptop, with an HP Lightscribe DVD+/-RW, Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, and a free year of AOL.
I don't use WindowsUpdate, but I thought the Automatic download and install did it without having to launch IE, hence the "automatic" part. Don't really know, though.
Something tells me MS isn't going to take this lying down.
They're not. Remember, regardless of the lawsuits, IE6 is still built into XP. Sure you can "uninstall" it, which does nothing more than hide it, but the functionality of IE6 is built into many of the core operating system files. Hell, iexplore.exe is a protected windows file.
All they would have to do is silently release an XP security update that "accidentally" turns IE back on, or restores the executable. Then any of the people running Windows Update automatically, like they suggest, will automatically have IE again. But then again, who's using Windows Update? There are more pirated copies than legal anyway:).
No matter what, though, all the old APIs have to stay there for compat reasons.
With the size that Vista is (the Beta 1 disc I believe is around 2.7 GB, and installed, it's probably much larger) I'm sure it wouldn't have cost them too much extra space to rebuild the old API with some sort of intermediary to the.NET framework, or just rebuild the existing functions as part of the framework (essentially emulating the old Windows API). They managed to include an entire 16-bit Windows emulation back-end for compatibility after making the full switch to 32-bit, although this didn't work out well for old device drivers (which isn't because of the APIs).
But the key is, you can now ditch the old API's and do not have to rely on them at all with new Application support. The.NET framework for Vista is to replace the APIs, not build an interface to them.
Their goal with that is probably to create "lifeless" shells to produce organs and stem-cells with. Or at least something to that effect. But I agree. What happens when we create some super-bacteria by accident, and we have no way of stopping it?

You get the idea.
I'm sure that some homebrewer will figure out how to drop the games on a DUO and play them on the emulator. Or they can use that PSP harddrive.

Now if I could figure out how to stop myself from paying for WoW. There shsould be a clinic for this.
it was.
Everything will take less than 1 second, but the DMV will still take like 9 seconds.

I'm offended. You made fun of fat people such as myself.

I'm sure (or at least I hope) noone is playing their 360 outside.
I think that guy is saying that all of the *files* on the disc (including exe's) are nto signed.
Good to know someone else feels the same. I thought I was the only one insane (or is it really SANE!?) enough to believe that.

You expect minimum wage cashiers to mention the caveats when the suits who ok'd the ads weren't smart enough to do so themselves?
Yes, I did it, and I was getting paid, what at the time was BB's minimum wage.
