I think MGM needs a big thank you from all of Stargates Fans. SciFi channel wants to end the SG1 franchise, MGM says fuck no. Let's hope DVD sales skyrocket so it'll slap SciFi in the face to pick up the franchise again.
Exploring are solar system is part of that. 'general welfare' can also mean building moon base on the Moon and researching ways to survive on Mars. Humans can survive if they spread out in the galaxy. If we a stuck on this shitty rock, we can be wiped out by a single asteroid or comet.
If NOAA built the weather satellites, NASA can still launch them.
NASA is leaving earth science to the commercial sector. It is more then capable in doing so. Commercial Sector is launching satellites all the time.
And remember people, NASA stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Their mandate is to explore the solar system. Building a moon base will benefit mankind allot. Near Zero G experiments to the feasibility of humans surviving on Mars for long periods of time. And reaching mars will enable us to begin a terraforming process or at very least, make it possible to build a dome in a valley.
NASA is doing the right thing here. Because Earth Sucks.
I feel sorry for this guy. He spent $15,000 on a suit that the military has no use for. The military currently working on liquid body armor. The liquid is used in addition to the Kevlar vests.
I know who killed the electric car --- the auto makers with their butt ugly designs. Concept Cars make or break ideas. Ford just killed the electric car.
Honda should add plug in ability to their FCX concept car for 2008.
I find that most people today are lazy. And people who work in minimal wage jobs aren't worth $5.15/hr. People don't work hard enough to be paid $5.15. The average minimal wage worker today is only worth may $2-4. People should be paid what their worth and not what they should be paid. People today are lazy slobs who don't give a rats ass about others and thus don't deserve the money they do have. Next time you visit a busy well trafficked store, look down on the floor. Take a look at the trash. That is laziness. Look at the side of roads and all the trash there. People carry that attitude to the work place. They do half baked jobs as slowly they can. Minimal Wage workers don't deserve the $5.15 hour they get now and Minimal Wage should not be increased until those workers actually deserve it.
The richest people in the world go where they are now not by being lazy but working hard. They went to school and studied hard. They proved they are worth thousands of dollars every month. They truly deserve the money they get. And taxing them more is UNEQUAL and is a Violation of the US Constitution (comment directed at usgov taxation).
Also consider the proverb, "The love of money is the root of all evil..." (Timothy 6:10). The world's problem is the constant need to acquire wealth. If the world could removed money, it would remove the need and the love of money. The crime related to money will go along with it. One question remains, What would the world do without money? And if it could rid the world of money, What would it be like? Of course, that was Gene Roddenberry's dream.

IC 009. US 021 023 026 036 038. G & S: computer hardware and software for providing integrated telephone communication with computerized global information networks. FIRST USE: 19970606. FIRST USE IN COMMERCE: 19970606
It is obvious that Apple, Inc believes that their iPhone is a PHONE and not a computer providing phone access to phone networks. iPhone is not a VOIP but an actual phone. That is what Apple is betting on.
Actually, I think you are wrong. It is could have a hard drive that is similar to the one Macbooks have. If you look at the macbook specs, It is 1 inch in height. Whereas the Apple TV is 1.1 inches in height. And it better have a hard drive over flash drive. Otherwise, it will bomb. 40gb is way too small for video.
And As I said in the reply title, This only the beginning. With more thought, Apple could make it stream live video from a desktop or notebook. And plenty of other things they can do with it.
The Apple TV is Apple's version of Tivo. And of course the box doesn't have tuner. That's what your COMPUTER is for. Your computer records the program, you stream video to Apple TV and watch the program. I expect Apple will further refine this hardware even further in the coming years but it is a good start.
Why did they call the iPhone the iPhone? It is more like a PDA with phone ability builtin. With Google tools, you got all the business apps you could need.
The only thing I would change is replace that damn small drive with 160gb drive. I'm betting it uses similar drives as the MacBooks do.
Yes, It is true the first hydrogen engines won't be as good as gasoline engines today but It will be the first of it's kind.
Hydrogen today is produced by Natural Gas but it can be produced from anything else, including Solar Power. Even our trash can be used to produce hydrogen. The same trash that will be used to produce oil as well.
Auto makers should have focused more on Hydrogen R&D rather then Flexfuel. Since they all screwed up, Honda will reap the rewards first. Again, Japan beats American corporations to the punch.
I highly doubt the electric car will ever catch on. And Ethanol is idiotic because it reduces a cars mileage. And next year will be the year of the Hydrogen car for the consumers. Gasoline cars will be replaced with Hydrogen cars. Flexfuel is just a fad.
From my experience; You can suspend billing of a Blockbuster Online account from the website itself. They won't bill you again, account remains open, and no futher dvds at sent to you. And you can reactivate billing to continue dvd mailings to you.
There won't be a war people. And it's a total waste of time and money to make 'Total HD'. I think corporations are trying to scam the consumer on something they don't need. I'll tell you how this so-called war will end.
HD-DVD will win and Blu-ray will go the way of Betamax. Sony will feel the pinch financially when both Blu-ray and PS3 both flop.
Why will HD-DVD win over Blu-ray? Consumer are idiots. When a average consumer sees Blu-ray? All they see is a new disc format. The name does not say I am High Definition. Today, when a consumer sees HDTV, they immediately know the tv is High Definition. When they see a dvd player that says HD-DVD, they will immediately recognize that this player will play High Definition movies to go with they HD-TV.
1. Cable is shared. I wonder how long it would take if everyone in the neighborhood decided to download 8gb dvd.
2. aDSL is dedicated but some areas don't reach 1.5mbps.
As I said before, Verizon has everyone going in the right direction with Fios but I would still like to see T3 lines attached to houses.
Broadband is not yet ready for DVD downloads. Your basic cable or dsl line takes to long to download DVDs. And when I mean by DVD, I mean entire DVD iso and not just the movie. Though, Verizon's Fios service may just improve the download speeds. It would still be better when every household has a high end T1 line.
Until then, I'll stick to my Blockbuster Total Access.

Wouldn't dvds and hd dvds (more so for hd) fall under DRM protected data? \

Global Warming is a Theory. And the planet takes care of it's self. It's called BALANCE people.
Of course, Evolution is a Theory. And everyone believe it is a fact. People assume to much.

OSX on the phone is probably the same as Windows CE but for Mac OSX.

Dude, they don't call them Media Center PCs for nothing. They are meant to be hooked up to a large LCD and replace the tivo.
This type of device would go great for airlines and trays. One can use portable devices longer and recharge when needed right there on the plane.

Wouldn't it be better to just sue ROM and create better licensing policy. RIAA could USE ROM to make Media Services to pay more money for licensing.
On the other hand, RIAA is bunch of dumb asses so I guess the point is mute.
