Well the difference is that is some skill [or so they say] involved in FPS.
This is more like the pool tournaments bars have - small entry fee, and a pot split with the winners (and I assume the site, couldn't realy find details on that . ..).
IANAL and all that BS, for all I know, the pool tournaments I play in each week are illegal:)
I look at these posts, and see alot of oooing and ahhing over the _dvd_ part of this camera (and that is probably the only reason it was posted in the first place). As I see it, the only reason to have a RAM type media is if you are going to be doing random access, otherwise it just adds cost and durability issues.
Now, for still photos, DVD-RAM might be a good solution, but that is not what this camera is designed for (just a 1.1-million-pixel 1/4-inch CCD).
For video, Mini DV tape does the job just fine, and at very low cost, and high reliablity. If you want better quality create better CCD's, and if that causes a higher bit rate than DV can handle, create a new format. But I don't see a reason to move away from tape at the moment (other than to cash in on the ooo's and ahh's we have seen here today!)
Can someone let me know why exactly dell is so bad? Well other than that fucking commercial this holiday season:) (actualy, I kinda liked it for the laughs)
I have used a few of their systems (servers and desktops) and they worked fine for me . . .
Actualy this is more like the boots Carl used (with nanosites pluging the pores).
Though they do mention "How about self-cleaning textiles that are covered in nano-machines that eject dirt?", but that sounds more like USAToday 'journalism' then reality.

Explain to me again how a tunnel to Alaska helps Russia reach the "pacific rim power house manufacturing countries"?
I really don't think raw goods are the answer here, as Alaska and Canada are pretty good sources of most (other than oil, but tankers have got to be better then a train, and if not, how about a pipeline?).
The only way I'd even consider turing someone into Ebay for something like that is if they tried to screw me
That is exactly what they are dealing with:
"However, fraud that occurs in those offline transactions and spam have become the two biggest complaints eBay receives from members, prompting the changes"
Basically eBay is worried about people scaming users through this method, over which they have no control, and blaming eBay.
However, the question to ask is why doesn't eBay make it clear that these are transactions that they accept no responsibility for, and just leave it at that?
I would bet that their [internal] answer is because of the money they loose from not having those transactions going through them.
ethereal (above me) has it right, "There's a difference between abhorring the "national institutions of churches" (such as the Church of England for example) as Paine did, and believing that there is no God.
However, as you probably guessed from my "God is the answer - to people who don't ask questions" sig, I don't belive there is a God (atheist). I do not claim to be able to prove this, but I hold this belief as a matter of personal ideology. In fact, my personal ideology holds that people who belive in God tend to be people who don't ask questions about the world they are in, and I have theorized that their capability to belive in God may spring from this. (note: I mostly have experience with people in the Christian religion, this may not hold true for all religions:)

"CBCP may try to restrict users to wholesome sites, but it tolerates violent computer games. . .
While Quitorio acknowledges that the church frowns on the violent arcade games, he has chosen to take a pragmatic attitude.
``We were convinced by Eman that we had to adjust to the priorities of the market, or we wouldn't earn enough money to open new sites,'' he said. ``Since the terminals in most Internet cafes are used for games, we had to accept it.''"
But of course they want you to buy their ram, at $7,779.60 for 1GB!
I would realy like to know if you can just slap anyold SDRAM in them or what. And also if there are any alternitives to the actual board on the market, as $1,969.40 for the board and 512MB of ram is a bit steep even to get started (assuming you could add SDRAM at market price)
BTW I am getting these prices from http://www.cdw.com, I don't suppose it gets much better, but any one have other info?
And what does "Please, I'm really happy for you, as this is an important holiday for you, but why not accept that in an international forum there will be plenty of people not sharing your set of beliefs?" mean to you?
So if you dont earn any money, you dont have to pay anything?
i.e. if my friends and I pool cds and run a little AM station I dont have to pay licence fees for the music? (forget about the FCC for now, or forever:)

If you are talking about a single 1GB module, that's not $7k either.
No, I am talking about the Platypus ram they want you to use.

RAM is VERY cheap now, too.
But of course they want you to buy their ram, at $7,779.60 for 1GB!

Yes, it is a crapy website, after about 15 min I dicovered you click on a image to get to the 'qukdrive' info page here: http://www.platypus.net/pages/products_qikdriv2.h
I havent dled the pdf, but looks like no price info. Does offer drivers tho, so probably not vaporware.
