The only problem with Gmail POP is that you have to log in to check your spam folder. Not at least being able to receive the spam flagged as spam is one thing, but please, you've gota be able to turn the spam filter off. I was wanting so badly to use Gmail/Google Apps for my work's email system since the other option was Exchange, but having to tell my boss "log into the Gmail site to check your spam" is not an option. It's one of those WTF things personally.
I think your confusing death of the planet with death of the human race. The planet will recover quite eaisily once we screw up enough & stop creating pollutants through extinction.
Actually, those who broke the 5v line that causes the Efuse to be blown upon updating can reopen said hole. Those looking to mod the console did this quite some time ago.
Your Treo 650 doesn't need the MissingSync app. Just use the software Palm provides, install the iSync Conduit, and configure. MissingSync has been obsolete for a long time.
Have you actually used an Apple computer before? Yes things look all plasticly, nice, and possibly toyish, but thats how it's been for a very long time with Apple. Difference here is when Apple makes something with that feel it's done well, and mature looking. Everytime MS does it, well, it looks tacked on, and very Fisher Price.
And you know what? Zelda is a Gamecube game. It's got some optimizations to make it look a little better, but a Zelda made for the Wii specifically will be far better looking. Wait till you play Mario Galaxy, or the new Metroid.
Oh, and one more thing about niche markets. This is the exact same tripe I heard when the DS came out. Niche market console, gimmicks, less than stellar graphics, etc. I hope I don't have to tell you want happened. Niche markets are increasingly where it's at, and when you console has a large amount of said niche markets covered you got it. Take a look at the kinda games Japan has. The US is even getting a few of those games like Ace Attorney at Law, Elite Beat Agents (Ouedan), Cooking Mama, etc. Just because YOUR not the target market for some or all of these markets just means the industry isn't as interested in high cost for super risky return. If they do a bunch of cheap games that sell well so they can take a rick on something big I'm all for it.
Could this blow up in Nintendo's faces? Possibly, but know what what? I haven't heard them losing money in many years. Their competitors can't really say they made a profit.
Hooray for anecdotal evidence. Your experience is the minority with flash based media. Not to mention you yourself stated that it likely has a whole shitload of write cycles left. A problem like this would be averted by internal solid state memory (no frequent removal). Whats gone wrong worst case with yours is the controller is shot (can happen on any kind of drive). I'd put good money though that if you popped the case to the flash drive open you'd find one of the pins that leads to the USB connection has wiggled free of the solder or snapped from the user causing stress on the pins. It's a fairly common thing with devices like flash drives & USB wireless adapters with me.
Ok then, please state your options that, "must be considered" if your going to use that debate tactic. That way, others can either agree, or tear those, "options" down.
The fiduciary incentive that was offered wasn't really worth it. It was primarily a issue of 49 stats against one. It also doesn't help that Nevada is the richest state in the union. The money would have been nice, but the really wasn't that much.
Macrovision offered to take it off Apple's hands purely because they are pissed that they aren't getting a cut. Macrovision HAD to put out something like this. I'm supprised they didn't do it sooner personally. The whole company is based upon scare tactics. If no one used DRM afterall, what else do they do? It's just one more licensing fee you pay when you buy legitimate media. DRM stops no one that they want to stop. Just punishes good customers.
It's not so much the how to get it somewhere (it is fairly safe), it's a question of where. For years they've been trying to get Yucka Mountain able to accept radioactive waste, and nobody in Nevada wants it. Nevada don't really produce much radioactive waste, and as such don't want to be the radioactive garbage can for the country (plus if you poison what water tables Nevada has it's fucked). People's minds could be changed easily if there was a financial incentive for it (Yucka Mountain would be safe if they'd have built it right), but 49 states are focusing on ramming it through, and one is just looking to keep it out since theres no incentive. Not exactly productive imo.
May I be so bold as to recommend you try out Quicksilver? CTRL+Space then you can type in what you want. It's adaptive so if a bunch of apps share the same first characters it'll move what you use most to the top of the list. For me it's CTRL + Space + term + enter. I barely even use the dock because of Quicksilver.
Hah, gaming programing classes. You won't find one person thats important in the industry that's taken those (grunt-work is ok for allot now I guess). As for your instructors words, that's the EA method right there. You want to be part of that? Games that fail, fail for a number of reasons that aren't because they did somethings that were innovative. Poor implementation yes, but thats not because they did too many new & interesting things. If you poorly implement an idea your going to fail (or at least have a VERY hard time) no matter what.
You can do that already with iTunes. You can take an iPod to another computer, drag the music files into iTunes, it'll copy them to it's managed folder on the HD, sort by folder, and rename based on the tags. As for playing music directly from the iPod you just plug it into the PC or Mac, and un-check the box for the iPod for the machine to manage the iPods music. Once thats done, you can suddenly play directly from the iPod in iTunes (I found this about 2 months ago by accident on my Macbook).
Now if you want to get the files from an iPod onto a Mac thats another story. They get hidden easily, but many apps out there can help you get the files off eaisily like iPodDisk.
Okami was flatly made for the wrong system. Okami was a game that would have done VERY well on the Wii. How you cast your spells is with a paintbrush control system. It's their own fault they put Okami on the wrong system, but a system that is also on it's way out, and the only people really buying games on it at this point are looking for the sub $30 bargain bin games. Not $50 new! Clover studios was out of their fucking minds. Hell I was even gona buy it, but Capcom canned Clover Studios after the game had been out in the US for TWO whole weeks. No fucking way I'm going to pay for a game when you shitcan the developer so fast. I'm about halfway through the game now, and it's worth the money hands down, but no, Capcom can go blow themselves now for all I care.
What magical fucked up delusional world do you live in? It's certainly not this one. "Some" very well off locations have the ability to choose between at least two providers (often more than). Whereas the rest of us have to just take whats available. Know whats available in my area? Cable...and satellite if you count that. Know how long DSL has been saying they'd build out to my location? Going on 6 years now. Not exactly counting on annnnnyyyyyyy progress with DSL like ever. I'm not in some run down or back country area. I live in fucking Las Vegas in a nice area.
Plus lets put this into perspective a little maybe. Sure, maybe you have two or more providers clamoring for your service. Problem is both of them go through the same backbone. Those are the people that are most likely to start charging, and once they do it, your fucked, it becomes the norm, and before you know it the internet is more like TV.
Yeah I guess this is a way to welcome PC World to the current day. Only floppy I've used in years is when some RAID controler required it in Windows, or back when Quark required floppy validation. Bot of which were insanely stupid.
As in the spyware company WildTangent that gets packaged with a number of apps including AIM? Wish a CREDIBLE developer would have said that, and not them, being from the bottom of the barrel.
Fine by me if they want to sink money into it. Due to that insane idea I made off with a number of 2GB Sandisk Thumbdrives in Presskits (along with a few games, 128MB thumbdrives, and other stuff) during CES. They are slightly outa their minds thinking you can put a thumbdrive through that kinda punishment for very long.
Difference here is Google made the announcement to get people to do just that. Now what I'd really be for is these companies doing these signs on top of their own establishments. Want to know whats around you? Head to Google Maps & see whats around.
And primary school kids really shouldn't be on the internet at such a young age. Kids really shouldn't be online at a school until High School. Sure thats shortly after the time boys find out about girls & vice versa, but most people's insistence to make kids use the internet at such a young age is a bad idea. I'm positively shocked when I run across someone who can't navigate a library. It's stuff I learned in grade school, and I'm only 25!
Now as for High School theres just not practical way to do this. I was in HS back in 96-00 at an amazing public school that got insane amounts of money to put computers in every classroom for students (double-majored in Graphic Design & Drafting). Back then the internet was quite a bit safer, but even then they tried to filter the connections periodically (tried different ones like NetNanny & white-listing). None of them really worked too well. Always ended up just disabling them for myself, students, teachers, and we just went on our merry way. Which I know I was probably almost expelled a couple times for (good to have influential teachers on your side). Just glad I got through HS before this filtering nonsense started coming down too hard.
Will students get into things they shouldn't? Sure! But it's better than limiting the scope of what information they can access. It's not like the teachers didn't. I remeber at least one occasion of a teacher printing porn out on one of the drafting plotters. I certainly got a few laughs out of that one.

Who cares about being banned from XBL? XBMC, and various other tools on the 360? I'd plunk down the $400 just for that.

His laptop & battery were never part of the recall. There was no part where he could have sent it in to be replaced. Dell is boned on this one.

Plastic, and other non-organics are to be removed before being put into the system.

Doesn't make my life any harder really. Just makes my financials look better. The day their OS has as few problems as OSX I'll probably be fucked.
