This guy is just another guy babbling about how *he* thought that sitting in front of the tv waiting for the stupid sailboat to finally get where it was going was FUN!
collected all those maps yet? sail over to tinkel to get them decoded. oh, don't have enough rupees because you assumed that like all other zelda games you have more than enough already? sail somewhere to get more, sail back to find out that the price has increased so you need to sail around to get more rupees repeat
got the maps decoded? good! now sail around to find all eight shards of the triforce. but they won't be in dungeons or anything- that would be too fun. nope, they're just all burried in the ocean. sail around some more!
oh yeah, there's a spell to warp, but you can't warp just anyway. warp to the nearest grid and then SAIL the rest of the way!
hmm... four thousand songs at $1.25? Not going to happen. People are just going to resort to piracy.
On the other hand, lots of people would shell out hundreds to load up the ipod...
The key to selling something that is nearly free to reproduce isn't margin, it's VOLUME. They could be generating a ton more revenue if lowered the prices.
The industry has been fighting the online revolution in music from the beginning. Perhaps this is just a way of killing off net distribution?
Wouldn't that require a reverse engineered implementation of apple's APIs? Or is this just talking about a portable framework so the same apps can run on both platforms?
Personally, I'd be more intrested on being able to run OS X apps on desktop intel linux than a pda
The transmission included power subsystem engineering data, no science data, and several frames of "fill data." Fill data are sets of intentionally random numbers that do not provide information.
They don't say why it's sending fill data, but I bet the NASA geeks are happy about getting that engineering data.
If we could put a man on the moon with slide rulers, we should have no problem figuring out how to three-key a computer on another planet
Lets say joe consumer drives a "light truck" that gets 15mpg. He drives 50 miles roundtrip to work each day, about 300 a week with random errands. He does this 50 weeks of the year (vaction time makes math easier), thus going about 15,000 miles a year. That's 1,000 gallons of gas a year. Thus the price of gas would have to drop $1.40 a gallon to get the $1400 worth of oil out of it.
I pay a monthly membership to my gym and get to work out as much as I want (which, as it turns out, isn't that much).
Give me a LAN center like that. My local one is $3/hr, which I guess is okay pricing for entertainment (say vs going to a movie or going bowling), but not if you do it ALL THE TIME like a lot of gamers do
Yes, going to the moon again is a GREAT idea. Building a moon base is a GREAT idea. Going to Mars is a GREAT idea.
This is something that looks good in a 30 second spot, but falls apart when you look at it. How is Bush going to pay for it? Answer: He's not. The 5% increase is a joke - it's not going to get a man on the red planet. But we can pretend for the cameras.
See, he doesn't want to get caught like poppy lacking the "vision thing". So he comes up with this vision of a moon base that seemed cool when he was a kid and tells everyone we're going to do it.
Kind of like No Child Left Behind. All those reforms sounded pretty good too. Who knows, they might have been, but Bush didn't fund it. Still, it made him look good, just like this NASA announcement does.
I applaud the Bush for being the first President in a long time to get us excited about space exploration again. I just wish he really meant it.
No, I'm a very satisified tivo owner. I never said the patent was a good thing. I was saying that unlike SCO, tivo as a company is worthwhile because their product does indeed KICK ASS.
Let me guess: you work as that jerk who jumps to outlandish conclusions?

I wanna play Kaboom!
I don't know if anyone mentioned it yet ;), but I think spymac has 1gig email accounts.
Why are you surfing for recipes for work anyway?
I remember hyperstudio, which seemed to be hypercard lite with multimedia stuff added.
Maybe there's a Free project underway?
My advertisers certainly won't be happy that all these people are seeing their ad via a link to my hit story. I'd better cut them off, and fast!
as an unemployed American citizen, I don't have much sympathy for you.
How would I go about finding a tech job in Canada?
the cat will cower in the corner
make your own compensation. :)
i don't want to have to patch or compile
can i just shut the lid and have it sleep? and then wake back up again?
The only reason I'm running xp on this laptop is so i can put it to sleep.
only 950 for students. 1050 w/ airport extreme, and then some crucial ram for another 200 - under 1300 for that slick little baby
have you used final cut pro on it? how does it do for dv editing?
a) oops, I get confused because in grade school the slide rule said we had to go one at a time
;)
b) It's compute and calculato
ass
intresting. does that mean we're sending fill data back when we don't have anything useful to send?
and does the band have to be saturated all the time?

I too think it's cool that hobbyists are hacking consumer electronics.
But, c'mon. Neither you nor I will ever actually run linux on our gamecubes.
I'm sure making linux run on strange hardware is fun and educational.
Why run a smb3 on a nes emulator inside of a ps1 emulator inside a pc emulator inside a virtual machine on a mac?
Geeks are just weird like that. I think it's cool.

so yeah, guess you're right

anonymous called be an idiot. boohoo. now i'm going to cry.
what did i assert that was unfounded?

I'm too lazy to look, but I'd imagine that like every every other platform, there are 3rd party IM clients, perhaps even multi-protocol ones
