Hulu is a waste of time anyway since the thing has to freeze and buffer all the time if you try to watch it during prime-time hours.
Personally I think the Asus eee box has more promise for the same price, though obviously this Link is twice as speedy, but for most things except HD video an Atom processor is ok with. As for both of their default linux OS's you're best off ditching them and installing regular Ubuntu with XBMC.
As more appropriately paced games have come out since the hay-day of Quake 3, I feel like its just too twitchy for me, that and I guess I've gotten older. Still, games like Call of Duty and Battlefield have given online FPS play a real jolt compared to the old run and gun games.
So tell me... why does a game cost 50 dollars but a DVD movie costs 20 dollars? Movies generally cost way more, usually, than game development. Now maybe most games don't see the numbers in sales that movies do, but could that possibly be because they cost 50 dollars? That seems to be what this article is saying, lower the price to 25 or 30 dollars for a new game and you will actually make more money total due to volume of sales!
Besides, half of these things are going to be ad-supported, right? At least in my experience, the performance of most websites has decreased the last 3 years or so as they hit and increasing number of different servers.
firefox is still free and not ad-supported, and this is coming from the mozilla labs. Besides it looks like if you wanted you could just create your own server and throw the code on it and not use their server. Who knows maybe it will eventually be picked up by sourceforge.net for easy viewing of the projects hosted there.
Its that kind of attitude that has us see all of these click through licenses that users don't ever read or really acknowledge or much less actually understand how it holds up in court. If there were only 2, 3, or up to say 5 different standard licenses that ANY application could choose to use, that would make things easier to users, developers, businesses, et al.
I'd imagine they could just build the harvester into the building itself and basically automate everything from the planting to the harvesting. Of course I'd still recommend a human presence to monitor it and to know when the harvest is ready.
I would think it better to use visual HUD and/or audio cues to let the wearer know they are in the path of fire. This whole idea of the suit controlling your movements involuntarily seems like a poor idea created by someone who's probably never actually been shot at before. (note: neither have I)
I've been using the same Windows VM in VMware at work for 2 years now and it has survived two Ubuntu upgrades just fine (7.04 -> 7.10 -> 8.04). I even have it on both my laptop and desktop since the files are easily copied and transferred to other systems. Basically you should only have to set it up once and then you're done, never to need to reinstall windows ever again assuming you don't lose the image to hard drive failure.
Thats nothing, when I was young we had to pick our paddle from a bundle of thorny bushes, then after the beating on our bare bums we had to pour lemon juice and hot sauce over the sores, and then they would kill us. And that's if we were lucky!
This really should put to rest the idea whether this is a truly a new version of windows of just a version update. I would think of Windows 7 no different than I would see a difference between Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10, or OSX 10.4 and 10.5. If they really wanted to make people happy they'd give existing XP licenses a free upgrade to win 7.
nowhere in the bill is an "open" standard for medical records referenced or called for.
as long as the standard is open to those in the medical profession, regardless of their practice's size or influence, that would be open enough. There's no need for Joe the IT guy to be able to see the standard unless he happens to be IT for a medical company. And by "medical profession" and "medical company" I only mean those which actual would have a need for your records.
Point of fact: In this bill, the government is appointing itself as the entity to ensure that everybody (yes, everybody - there don't appear to be any provisions for people who wish to opt out) has electronic medical records by 2014. The government has also tasked this bureaucracy with developing infrastructure to facilitate the exchange of those medical records.
the IRS already has records on every tax payer, so how is this different? You pay taxes == You get health care.
Fixing this problem by taking on more debt is like helping a trauma victim by stabbing him.
or maybe its like when someone breaks their shoulder/elbow and someone has to "unbreak" it by popping it back in place. Sure it'll hurt like a bitch, but in the end at least you won't end up worse off than you were when it was bent backwards in an unnatural position.
point is we can't know which works until we either succeed or fail massively with whichever option we try. In this case the last 2 years have failed in trying to just let time and debt destruction have a stab at it, so now its time to try a different strategy.
but wouldn't that lower the dems to the repubs level? However to some extent I can agree with you, that trying to get all the republicans to be happy should be a small priority, but just big enough to make sure some of their concerns can be addressed.

When Win7 releases they'll probably play catch up to Apple and rebrand it "iGenuine"

Irony in its truest form is a bitch
You could just use Vista in that case... why wait for something slower! Oh wait, you like waiting. Ok, wait away.
So there really wasn't any good news, there was only bad news and irrelevant news!
Ubuntu Mobile certainly has my ears perked up :)

1... 0... -1... -2... -3...
oops, sorry the damn while loop was never told to break at 0, looks like it will just have to wait till CTRL+C!

Sounds more like an article by Mr. T.... fool!

or possibly he couldn't make bail because he's not as filthy rich as Paris

No way, these are way bigger... like Duplos

that stimulus last year which didn't really do much of anything
