I agree with you on the fact that it was mediocre comedy, but how many times can anyone point to an that the president was at and say that he just got his ass handed to him. There were a few points that I really enjoyed it, otherwise he was just someone showing the president what many people have been saying, and not just the president, the news. But, like many other Slashdotters have mentioned, this has not and will not be covered in any form of news other than things like Slashdot and Comedy Central.
I wish he had said more, because there is a lot more that could be said. There are plenty of ideas that have been pointed out long ago that would have made me respect Colbert much more. I'm certain that this is really pointless, and that nothing will come of it, because, like Good Night and Good Luck reminds us, "[media] in the main is being used to distract, delude, amuse, and insulate us."
Nearly everyone is mentioning MOTU. I'd have to mention a specific model. I'm researching it for my own purchase. It's the MOTU Traveler. It's about the size of a laptop and has excellent reviews. It costs a little more than the FirePod previously mentioned, but it truly is an amazing piece of machinary from what I'm reading. Haven't seen a poor review yet.
The other poster pointing out that you need to login to MOTU's site in order to download drivers or anything was right.
As for software, I use Digital Performer, also by MOTU. I haven't tried Ardour out yet, going to soon, but I've heard ravings about that. If you're willing to pay for your software, there's bound to be some other ones that could be better.
Seeing as certain things aren't Universal, Photoshop, Indesign, etc. Other things that are cross-platform but aren't universal on OS X yet. Those are your best options for Boot Camp usage, aside from the obvious games.
I'd like to say it'll be useful to the $100 laptop. There would be no other reason for nations to have internet access if there's just a bunch of laptops. This way the community has a real reason to setup internet.
I find it interesting that they talk about how character development is the big thing for Western RPGs. I never realized that RPGs were ever really that commonly created in the Western Hemisphere. I would have to say that the change to having the primary focus on character development is more a general revolution in RPGs. All of the table top RPGs and such were extremely story oriented as well. No one wanted to play a game of D&D where the master was a bad story teller.
Also, the fact that technology has increased so much is the only reason that the character development can take place. Eastern RPGs seem to be a continuation of the classics, which took place when they could only have so much and the best thing they could do was tell a story.
I read this this morning and watched Law and Order tonight on TNT like I normally do and the case was about things not getting deleted and at the end they make mention to the fact that no email is ever really deleted. I just thought that was pure irony.
So first of all I'm dissappointed that no one here has flat out asked this question yet.
How does this work? I'm not talking can you do these things easily, I'm talking how does it fake Windows into thinking EFI is a bios?
I could be very incorrect in this, but as I recollect the fix is supposed to become open sourced. I can't access the site but I remember yesterday or the day before readying that every donation from here on out will be put to use on funding the open source project that comes of it.
It gets annoying, but try gaming with lights on. It helps to allow you to focus on other things. If you start feeling dizzy, give it a pause and close your eyes for about 15 seconds. Try placing an object nearby (within your field of vision) that you can stop and focus on, get some extension cables or wireless setups so you can be farther away from the screen. These are little things that seem to work for me, but I can't promise it'll work for you.
IGN used it already, about 7 months ago. They found it to be quite responsive, although they were only working with tests and what seemed to be an alpha version of Metroid Prime 3, but they were quite impressed with it.
That's all well and good, but I really want to know when. I'm going to be in Florida for a wedding this year and I'd like to see a launch (hopefully one that doesn't explode) before the shuttles get decommisioned. I checked NASA's site and I only see one shuttle launch in the schedule:
Russia has 2 pluses, what you mentioned, them being the most viable vehicle and they're the ones who send billionares into space so they have a hard set method of funding these flights.
Really no. They sound like crap compared to a real set of headphones, a set like my HD 497s sound amazingly better than any pair of earbuds I've used. They were $40 or so when I got em. The only in-ears that I think might be better are those Etymotic Research ones, and those are too expensive for me.
...risk hooking new devices up to it; you might cause the spell to fail.
Sad but true. One of my friend's parents thought it'd be a good idea to upgrade his RAM. He had one of his sons try to upgrade it with an older chip from his computer. He didn't realize that DDR and classic SDRAM don't quite work well together. He forced the RAM in and now nothing on it works. Now they're waiting out for an Intel based Mac Mini.
And while it may, "effectively [lower] the price of the subcontractors operations," it's also quite likely that the subcontractor will still charge the same amount despite the fact that he has one less person to employ. I wish I could say that I truly believed that every individual was as noble minded and honest as you are, but most people are not. They will take advantage of any situation they can, (in a few cases I am one of these). People want to save money, or at least make it, as easily as possible, and if cutting someone due to a formula will save them money, they will undoubtedly do it.
No, I never said that. I said it's a much greater deal if the information surpressed affects everyone with that equipment. If someone who isn't going to use the information negatively and figured it out on their own (in the case of the article) it wouldn't matter if he stumbled onto someone's personal security code. If someone figures out a vital security flaw in a large corporate system, odds are someone else is trying to figure that out and therefore it should become public knowledge before someone has the chance to exploit it.
The likelihood of someone who figured out a security code through no fault of the owner to be a benevolent person is slim to none, but in the case that it were to happen, what would it matter. The person is not going to do anything bad with it and odds are someone else isn't cracking away at it. If someone benevolent were to figure out a corporate security flaw, the likelihood that a malicious someone is going to figure it out is much greater, therefore it is much more important that the corporate security flaw (which coincidentally is personal for some people as well) be public knowledge.
Big difference. If I gave out my security code to people, accidentally or purposefully, it would be my fault that my house was broken into. If the company has a flaw with their security system, it's their fault that my house is broken into. If it's public knowledge that there is this security flaw, I could possibly keep it from occuring in my house as well as complain to the company to try to get it fixed.

Just my $0.02
So how does this effect Myspace and Xanga? They're always streaming media, I don't know what format off hand, but still.

Wow. I've been up too long. I meant to say "READING that". This is sad.

Isn't that sort of monopolistic of them? Forcing everyone to pay them, whether you develop for them or buy from them.
Maybe you meant Psychological scarring? It'd be impressive if DDR will teach you how to mess with someone's mind!

I believe the term you were searching for is dystopia.

The difference is in the number affected. If the one person has it happen that's their problem, if the company has it happen that's everyones problem.
