I carry an obvious laptop case for work. I walk around Middle and High Schools in bad sections of the Bronx, and even bring it on the subway quite a few times, without incident.
I would prefer my wife carry her Nano in one of these "cool" laptop cases instead of the designer leather iPod case!
Vizzini: I can't compete with you physically, and you're no match for my brains. Westley: You're that smart? Vizzini: Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates? Westley: Yes. Vizzini: Morons.
Am I the only one who felt blatantly lied to about this game?... When I sat down to play it I found it to be a boring rehash of the last game.
That's called a difference of opinion, not being lied to. Ebert & the other guy don't lie to you when they say an artsy movie is excellent, but you found it to be a rehash of an anime movie in your collection.
... Clipping and other graphic glitches....
This could be the problem with video game journalism: story/fun-factor vs technical issues. If I give 4 stars to a low budget movie with a good story, great acting and an obvious amateur look and feel, does that compare to a 4 star big budget movie with a good story, great acting and a professional look and feel?
How many of your favorite all-time games had a great story and very poor graphics?
Wow, such objective reporting. They seemed to get all their facts straight then presented this unbiased article to a wide general-interest audience. Let's mod this "+5, Informative" for well-rounded news reporting!
Agreed, we are trying to expand the use of Lego Mindstorms in New York City public schools. So many schools are just on the brink of discovering this, though - most schools have never heard of Mindstorms much less what it could do for their students. And it's not just the students who love it so much, the teachers really get into it, too.
But the kits are expensive - buying them requires a grant to the school or an administration's commitment of time and resources, neither are which are plentiful in most schools. Had a discussion with a participant recently who told me about OpenSource options to Robolab, which I find to be very buggy. I don't know where Lego was aiming from the beginning, but a serious focus to restoring the quality of their product could be what pulls them out.
"There are a lot of liquid nitrogen tanks outside the building and they use liquid nitrogen heavily there.
A man working in the lab fled the scene when he saw a man in a Los Angeles police uniform chasing a huge bodybuilder-type wearing sunglasses, a woman with an assault rifle, and whining teenage boy. Police are still searching the site for clues, but LAPD does not have any officers operating in England.
It is available only as part of a private finance initiative that involves investing in the military base on the surface above.
With the interests in wine cellars there, I'm going to open a brothel, ala The Bunny Ranch (http://www.bunnyranch.com/). Them randy doughboys need a good shag, 'gov.
Upgradable, budget boards that will support a wide range of CPUs and memory would be useful in urban elementary and secondary schools where money for technology is limited, especially when administration considers 7-year old iMacs cutting-edge.
With Intel-based Windows/MacOSX dual-boot computers on their way to the masses, the ability to cheaply upgrade certain hardware to extend the life of these systems would be welcome. It would take years anyway for school officials to adapt (e.g., NYC Dept of Ed has a deal with Dell), but the future of the technology is interesting.
I believe the whole anti-AOL feelings are still part of a grudge 'l33tists' have from a decade ago. AOL really brought the Internet to the masses so technophobes could access the Internet, which pissed off the people would liked dialing into BBS at $4/minute. It's like when cars came with automatic transmission - only serious drivers drive stick, everyone else is n00b who slows down the road.
If AOL still has longterm security problems, it is their reliance on using Internet Explorer. For whatever reason I have yet to figure out, Time Warner still treats Netscape like the redheaded stepchild. But their continued support of the Mozilla Foundation, in whatever way, should be the one saving grace all of us should be thankful for. 'Lest we forget, if Microsoft becomes a significant voice on the AOL board, what do you think happens to Mozilla?
Time Warner has just tied their online cable service with free AOL service. Say what you will about AOL overall, but they are the only online service that offers free subscription antivirus to the masses (yeah, it is McAfee, but still). Someone else mentioned the Sirrius Satellite service, so if AOL offers free service to broadband customers while offering popular free subscription services as well, AOL becomes a player again. I'd rather have the resources and experience of Time Warner and Google behind that, and just maybe Google kicks TW butt into finally marketing and implementing Netscape/Mozilla.
I have been wanting Google to throw their hat into this, especially if they have a potential to lose 40% of their market (according to a past post). Either way, I say start buying shares of TimeWarner - MS and Google have deep pockets, and the money's gonna start flying.

Can he pay in Lego"S"?

I took two flash drives and tied them with a rubber band - Dual Channel!
Forget the danger. Humans:
* are very heavy
* get cramped, bored
* need food
* need water
* need air
Robotic probes just run off a power supply.
It's this kind of stereotyping which will lead to robots rounding us up for energy!

Of course, I'll have to import "talent" as English women aren't attractive (http://www.rainbowstudios.com/people/thewave/Imag es/London/Large/Beautifull%20English%20Women.JPG).

Blacklight + Irradiated Sea Monkeys = mobile LEDs in tubes
C'mon! It's from Japan. They used toy boats to make the squid look bigger. And you can see the strings....
