it just seems to me that the imperfection of anything man-made will only ever get you at best a 99.9% solution. Just use some common sense and pick your software and hardware carefully to close that gap as much as possible.
i'm with you there, I have a All-in-wonder that I would LOVE to use in Linux with MythTV. unfortunately the only thing the all-in-wonder can do in linux without some hacks is just be a regular video card. bring me tuner support you crazies at ATI!
walmart has no concern over whether a 17 year old's parents don't want them to play a game, but whether or not its legal to sell that game to a 17 year old. Honestly if a 17 year old lets his parents treat him like a 12 year old, then I don't think there's any hope for that kid in any case.
Some of the technical challenges he faces are unique. This may be one of the only networks in the world where antennas must be monkey-proofed.
"Monkeys are everywhere," says Ben-David. "Often, you'll see a huge, gorilla-sized monkey hang on to an antenna, swing from it, eat it, try to break it. We lost a lot of cables that way, but now we use very strong equipment so that even monkeys can't break it."
Its the evil monkey in the close conspiracy to bring about the dark age of man, we can't let this happen! I mean just look at planet of the apes
The system uses robotic vision to count the cars in the parking lot, gathers feedback from employees and collects point-of-sale information in real time.
So I guess the time for the police or tow truck to come haul your butt away will get a lot shorter
why else would people pay for in-game money in MMOG's? Or for power-leveling, or for characters already at level 60? Don't enjoy life too much? Buy an expensive car or house, have the best stereo system and 64" LCD TV, make your kids go to Harvard, etc etc etc.
Its sad, but so many people believe it actually makes them happy. More of a vicious cycle I say.
one of Apple's reasons for having a default of one-button (Macs have supported multi-button mice, and programs for graphic designers, etc.) is to ensure that software designers didn't hide functionality behind right-clicks, etc. Everything should be visible, and accessible through menus at the top of the screen or icons on the screen.
which is why right click enabled actions are simply replaced by Command-Click actions. Now you actually have to use two hands to do the same action. brilliant;) I'm not trying to give Apple a hard time, I just fail to see why it took so long to create a wireless mouse of this design, when wireless mice have been around for a looooong time now.
its too bad that not all PS2's actually play DVDs as well as the Xbox (360) or some standard DVD players can. I even have one of those slimline PS2's and I can't watch more than half of any movie before it stutters and soon after just plain freezes. I have heard others who have similar problems, though its not necessarily a problem with ALL PS2's.

where's the Left Wing Say-anything-to-get-me-elected-zealot?
to take certain angle analagies too far:
doing a 90 = taking the first reaction to any situation, be it the best or worst reaction
doing a 270 = taking the last reaction to any situation, be it the best or worst reaction
doing a 540 (thats 360+180;) = taking the opposite position after first taking the same stupid position a second time
I mean come on, use your head. You may need to smack it a few times for a nice brain reboot.
As long as this buyout doesn't mean 15 more login screens with separate passwords to do anything internal, I'm down with it.

I suppose if it plays two hours of online poker every night when its not playing Halo, then we could really be on to some awesome AI!

Why not only allow pre-orders for unrated games to be sold to those 17+, since that is the highest rating walmart will sell anyway?

I always wished a Crusader:No Regret and No Remorse sequel would eventually come out... I believe the Unreal 3 engine would do nicely :)
At least they provided a good 20 minutes of entertainment for me this morning :)

Okay? Having the thing doesn't give you a right to download a copy
why not? its just the same as backing it up yourself, only someone else did the hard work for you.

I think comparing the MPAA (and RIAA while we're at it) to the bumbling Nazi's on the show are a good enough analogy ;)
ok so it technically has two buttons underneath... it still doesn't change the fact that it looks like a bar of soap.
I know this is Apple we're talkin about here... but where the hell is the second button still?
to vote for the winner? How does that one work?
