Rights of governments? The people give rights to the government in order to serve the people, not the paternalistic other way around.
Government exists to serve the people. Where do you think the money to pay MS comes from? It's like your dad taking money from your trust fund, giving it to you, then telling you that it is your allowance that you earned! The money is the public's money.
We agree to let the government protect us from harm and so we allow state secrets to exist in order that our common enemies do not use that information to avoid detection. Everything else that does not fall into that narrow category should be exposed to sunlight and competition.
This is a simple paternalistic monopoly protection scheme for MS.
He's presented that program many times before. McCain liked it enough to avoid raising the issue, and the media didn't have a complaint with it...
I'm with you though; mandatory volunteerism isn't good for anyone. Ask a career military man what the draft would do his Corps and you'll get a good picture of what a horde of mandatory community servicers would bring to non-profits.
You can use the old Cat5 as a wire fish to piggyback and attach to the fancypants new wiring that the kids of the future will need; conduit can get expensive.
I think these are the same parents who have no interest in the difficult job of active parenting and would have the kid plugged into a dvd player watching something at all times so they don't disturb the parent at dinner, in the car, in public, etc. I see a lot of that.
I can see where the kid might grow a negative view on how to act in society with violent games as the only thing that sets any parameters on behavior.
I saw a cool X-10 system that hooks into your wireless router. It calls/txt messages a total of 4 different numbers when a breach occurs; so you could have one of those be you, your spouse, a neighbor, and a family member. No need for fancy servers or payments or worrying about cell service.
yes, but you can simply add another car to the allowed list of cars on your online account. I did this with a rental van 10 minutes before using the pass and went all over the NY state with zero issues.
Our college had a great collaboration concept - 3Com tested out wireless tech before it was widespread; and IBM provided wireless laptops for a certain set of courses. It worked out wonderfully and no students had tuition raised as a result.
Been playing it now. It's very fun. I am also barely smart enough to not plug the freakin ethernet cable in while doing so. That's just asking for trouble. And if it's a 1:1 copy with the new FW, how would MS tell the difference between a legit review copy given to Game Informer vs the one I burned with my DL burner?
Rock-It Launcher is lots of fun.
And the horses & buggys were one way to get people from one place to another- a cd is one way to get media content into your brain.
The car/P2P is not replacing the demand but rather a more efficient method to satisfy demand.
But the "programs" or instincts within you are always running to some extent. The gift of consciousness is being aware that the program wants to run. And the gift of self-control is choosing to let the program run; to let instinct take over or to change to a different behavior.
Good sociologists are able to see when the program is running and be able to predict a response as a result. It doesn't mean that consciousness isn't present.
It also does not mean that it is the only override or the strongest override - you may understand that drinking too much is bad in your self-aware state, but the chemical effect of too much booze would easily turn you back to a total creature of instinct to smother the influences of conscious thought & self-control.
Yes, the CycloDS which I have will let you store everything on the microsd card that inserts into the DS Slot1 card. The homebrew card is the shape of a regular DS game with a little slot on it for the removable microsd. The card is like 50 bucks, and you also need to provide your own microsd (8 gig is like 30-40 bucks I think).
Really easy to use, no friggin firmware flashing or hacking required. Plug and play in every sense of the word. Will also store your backup roms if you've made backups of your DS games.
I agree with you. As the DS isn't forced to be connected to the internet all the time like the Wii or XBox 360, there's little chance that a user would install a console firmware update that would brick a hacked firmware or disable Slot1/2 card. So they use the carrot instead of the stick - new shiny carrot vs your old machine that can play homebrew/backup roms but has poor wifi and no camera...

I don't know, I like his style. Can we give him a TV show maybe?

I love that Neil worked in the Monty Python cheeseshop reference to his exchange w/ the TMobile people. heh

Yeah Wasteland did not age well. Tried it again about 2 months ago. Ack.

so how much for a wireless PTP with a distance of 5-10 miles vs hard-wired fiber for 5-10??
that's why they got the tanks - to protect the fish who have no thumbs to pull triggers with.
it is definitely civil offense
Remember that McCain is one of the AZ senators? And he won't porkbarrel or earmark for his constituents? There's the downside...
You never saw Brazil did you?
Or Fonzie to fix the jukebox...
