It's on the border line of being worth it for me. It all depends on how well the quality is. I know I can't get HD quality for the old stuff but if it's all direct copy from a bad VHS... then I don't think it's worth while.
As a CS major student now, the one best advice I can give you is to start with a data structure class. A good data structure class will probably teach you the bare-bones of a language, then somethings about how computers work on the inside, then they'll teach you about how to organize data, how data works, etc. I really wished I had taken a data structure course before I took C++, Java and Assembly. Languages might change over time but data strucutres will not. In programming, it's not the language itself that's the hard part (although some languages are harder to grasp than other. *cough* *assembly* *cough*), the hardest/important part of programming is trying to figure out how to get something done.
Since wikipedia put out some good evidence that might prove bill gates didn't say the "All anyone ever needs is 640kb of memory", I'll resort to this one:
"There are no significant bugs in our released software that any significant number of users want fixed."

I personally think that no one should have the final say about what domain gets what. Whenever countries like China whine about things like how' they're not involved enough in stuff like this, I have to take their argument with a grain of salt. Really, a communist country should have no right to talk about... well... rights. I thought as it is now, people are on the first come, first serve basis. I personally don't mind that. (with a few exceptions, of course, i.e. registering someone's name, squatting on it, and force them to buy it from you.) But I don't think the internet should be something that any country or a group of country gets to regulate. It should be regulated via agreement from the netizens, you know, the people that actually run webservers and contribute to content on the internet rather than some politicians that want to control it for their own purposes.
That's my 2 cents. If any facts I stated needs correction, I'd greatly appreciate it.
so... why isn't this being parachuted into every state in the union now? Why are we still using fossil fuel? We have tons of sunshine here in so cal, put it to better use than giving people a tan. >.
I just want everyone to know that when I first bought GTA 3 on the PS2 that in my 5~6 complete hours of playing that game, I blew up around 25~30 cars, blow up 4~5 trucks, shot and hurt many, many civilians. But you know what? I think I might have killed a total of one cop... again, I think... By the end of that 5~6 hours and leaving it on the shelf or a good year or so, I sold it to a game reseller a really bad Gundam game. You know... some people just fired up about nothing...
Sim 2 has low-res polygonal nudity? God, thanks, Mr. Thompson. Thanks for telling all the pervvy little teenagers that. Now they'll go out to buy the game... idiot... *shakes head*
Sometimes I wonder if he's getting kick back from these game companies.
Oh yeah, I would also like to announce that Star Wars: battle front is a jedi-killing simulator. I mean, if I saw a real jedi on the streets, I would know exactly how to kill him! All I have to do is try to land a tie-fighter on him or blow him off a cliff with a grenade (and I say him because there are only male jedis/siths in that game). How dare lucas arts for making such a violent game! I mean, you can totally see what they're trying to do to our poor, innocent children!
People do realize that RFID is a radio frequency that broadcasts 64~128 bits when hit with a certain radio wave, right? I mean... 128 bits... that's not alot in terms of hacking and capturing...
I know it has it's uses but..
Another reason many fail to appreciate Microsoft inventiveness, continues Carroll, is because most inventions are pieces of larger puzzles."
I have no doubt that ms did some innovative things (not all of which came directly from them, but nevermind that.). What I have problem with is that larger puzzle. Small pieces don't matter if the rest of the puzzle are chewed up by a wolverine.

woohoo! I hope blu-ray does the same.
I'm still waiting for them sue an embryo.

The chinese have already done that for Final Fantasy Online and World of Warcraft. :p

I think you guys are missing the point. The point isn't the cost. The point is that skittles is a renewable resource... I think... right? :p
