why people think the US highway system should be converted to metric. Miles are longer than kilometers. Our roads are longer and need the larger measurement. People argue about needing metric because we export products. WE DON'T EXPORT ROADS!
I'm not totally up on all this stuff (some, but not all.) What about this: I copy a HD-DVD to my harddrive. Then I find the decryption key for it. I decrypt it and convert it to another format. Couldn't I then distribute it without them knowing what player was used?
Actually, there are several groups doing old time radio drama now. One I know of is Decoder Ring Theatre at http://decoderring.libsyn.com/. There are others, but I don't have the URLs handy.
I love Ubuntu. But if you're on dial-up, it needs work. It doesn't include Gnome-PPP. So you have to get on the internet and download it. But first you have to figure out how to get on the internet without Gnome-PPP.
I agree. I recently discovered him. Some of his stuff I like and some I don't. But everyone on slashdot should listen to "Download this song." It sums up how most people here feel about the record companies.
Christians do not hate homosexuals (or Muslims or anyone else). It is the act of homosexuality that we disapprove of. And it's not because we don't want people to do what they want. It's because homosexuality is harmful--to the homosexual. It's like when your parents tell you not to play in the street; it might seem like fun, but they can see the dangers that you don't. God designed sex. He knows how it should work and how it should not be used.
It implies that any sales of such games would be prohibited. In reality, it would prohibit minors from purchasing them, like the way they are prohibited from purchasing cigarettes.
Went with a friend to pick up the Wii he preordered from Gamestop. Stopped by Walmart on the way and saw the line--about 40 to 50 people waiting by the layaway department. My friend got his from Gamestop about 12:30 and we went to his house and played till about 2am. Then I went to get my wife and we headed to Best Buy. Got there about 4am. There were 3 tents, one person in a sleeping bag, one man sitting in a chair and an empty chair next to him. We sat down and started to wait. Then we decided to go to Walmart and buy a chair and some gloves and blankets:-) We didn't really need to sit there all night because it wasn't till after 6 that anyone else showed up.
As BB employees showed up for work, someone in line jokingly offered each one $500 for a Wii. Then at 7am the manager(?) came out and annouced that they had 24 and the first 24 in line would get one. (We were number 11!). We were given tickets and told to came back when the store opened and we would recieve one.
Waiting outside about 10 minutes before the store opened was fairly uneventful. There were some excited kids at the front of the line. When they opened, we walked inside in line, traded our tickets for a Wii, picked our games and paid. It was all very orderly.
I almost forget, at Gamespot, there where a couple of people who showed up "in character." Someone came dressed as Link from the Zelda games. Another person came dressed up like a country music singer--boots, cowbay hat, and guitar--and....a Darth Vader mask. He called himself "Garth Vader."
Picked up Zelda, Excite Truck and Madden. I took to the controller as soon as I picked it up. It's very intuitive. We spent most of the time playing Wii Sports. Haven't even had a chance to check out Zelda yet!
"Seriously though, the author completely ignores the vast geographic differences between the US and other industrialized country when categorizing the US as falling behind in broadband acceptance. The US has an average population density of ~30 people per square km, industrialized Europe's is ~100, while Japan's is 336. The higher the population density, the less cable is needed (and hence, the lower the cost) to provide broadband to all these people. "
I agree. But the communications companies have had enough time to expand the system further than they have. It's been ten years and I'm still waiting for broadband to reach my area.
I wish they would actually take a technology and push it all the way out first before jumping on the next thing. Get coverage everywhere--even small towns. The way it is now, someone intros something new, it gets rolled out to the large cities because they have more people. Then something new comes along, and the first product is abandoned and the new one is rolled out to the large cities. The people in smaller population centers end up with nothing despite all the promises of great coverage.
I was under the impression that they are suing because of all the traffic coming to utube.com from people who are trying to find youtube.com. According to this:
"The company, which sells used machinery for making tubes to clients worldwide, has seen its site utube.com knocked off line by millions of online searchers looking for video site."

Utube Sues YouTube
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
Redirect everyone coming to their site to a youtube.com video of an advertisement for utube. And in the description say "if you would like to purchase our product, click here". Then people who are really looking for youtube will get there (and see a utube ad). And people who are looking for utube will think they're just watching a utube ad before entering the utube site. Problem solved.

The Razr was about $500 when it was first released. I doubt the iPhone will drop in price the way the Razr did though.

Not to restart the Amiga/Atari ST wars, but....
It's not as nice as the Amiga stuff, but the Atari Running On Any Machine (aranym) project is continuing work here: aranym.org
I first I thought that it was some kind of platform (written in ruby) for reading ebooks!

A better one might be "when will they travel back to the late 20th century earth?"
I for one miss the old school 2d scrollers.

I believe that C# can stand on it's own. It doesn't have to be compiled to managed code.
Interesting. That averages out to 611.1 students per school.
If someone breaks into my house and steals something and the police catch him, I don't "get paid" for it. I just get my stuff back.

What's to keep the machine from registering the vote wrong and then printing out an (also wrong) piece of paper?
