I have this revolutionary idea. I think celtic_hackr should try it, it's a new open source application called "Go to the school and pickup your goddamn child"
Charging cable have a median efficiency rate of 57% as stated above. The magnetic solution has already been known to reach 98.5 efficiency. I would trust the RF power more than the magnetic solution, simply because magnet + credit card = 0.
I just got hired for an IT spot for 10$ an hour I guess I am that bad end-game scenario.
I'm pretty sure you have a career path that rises above $10 an hour even if you remain in help desk type positions. I doubt that endgame is here yet. When your boss gets hired for $10 dollars an hour then the end game is here.
I am an IBM contractor for an AT&T Call Center, the guys here think I am here to take their job away (because AT&T took over this Cingular Call Center. and IBM is the new IT for them). These guys used to do some Heavy CISCO stuff I have no real world experience in and now that IBM is centralizing everything the job functions of the position require just basic PC support. You know, I switch out a mouse, re-image a machine, clear the cache, etc.
Exact numbers aren't available "Anonymous Coward" but there are figures from multiple sources putting the number "over 30%" (http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gaming/xbox-360-failure-rate-30-says-retailers-271487.php). An unofficial survey from a xbox fansite lists 61% (http://www.360-gamer.com/news.asp?id=964). Microsoft Claims 3-5% (which is still more than the 2% of most consumer electronics. And considering they have pushed millions of units...(http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/games/archives/2007/05/31/whats_the_true_failure_rate_for_the_xbox_360.html). "In response to what Microsoft is calling an "unacceptable" failure rate during the past several months, the company is extending the warranty coverage for the Xbox 360 from one year to three years." (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2003776998_xbox06.html) "Microsoft has shipped 11.6 million units -- slightly shy of its goal of 12 million by June 30 -- since launching the game system Nov. 22, 2005." (Seattle Times)
When a Microsoft Xbox 360 console experiences a "general hardware failure", three flashing red lights appear on the front of the console, known by gamers as the infamous "Red Ring of Death". Supposedly, when this problem started arising in early 2006, 30% to 33% of all Xbox 360s were experiencing the fault.(http://www.xboxredringofdeath.com/)
"Gamestop has now stopped offering extended warrantees on all Xbox 360 consoles. This is a telling sign. After all, if a game retail giant doesn't trust the Xbox's quality, why should I?

Which even at 5% is still more than half a million units! Have you ever heard of ANY OTHER consumer product released lately with a REPEATED failure rate? When Dell, Sony, and Nokia have Battery replacements they don't ship out ANOTHER flawed battery, where MANY X-Box 360 owners have gone through 2 or MORE X-box 360's. And in a famous internet case covered by 1UP Justin Lowe has gone through 11 XBOXes. (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3160603)
You know what IS UNIQUE to Microsoft? A fucking 45% Electronics failure rate, most electronics have a 2% or LESS failure rate.
Also if you paid for a month of dental insurance and for the month the only dentist approved for you to use is on vacation, would you like your money back? X-box live (XBL) has been down for almost a 2 week combined. That's not getting what you pay for.
Thank god my Xbox 360 has been at the repair center for the 3 weeks of on-and-off downtime, getting fixed because it had the Red Ring of Death.
So I played my PS3 for the time, I can't say the service is better than XBL, but it's reliable, free; and you get what you pay for.
But for two days the Activision servers were down so there were some Call of Duty 4 issues there, but the issues were fixed promptly, and in the meantime there are other games to play.
LOL a friend of mine makes an extra 500 a week from his Hovercraft business in There.com. I was always hopeless with it. I always just barely cut even. I doubt Congress will be able to tax the game transfer of currency exchange. It's like them taxing me for buying a couple Euro when it was 1-to-1 and then exchanging it for dollars when the Euro is worth more than the dollar.

How much
FEAR II isn't even out yet! Pre-ordered for PS3 YAY
Bartend and Barback at a local Stripclub. Good money, good time, great moonlighting :D
Because I have a PS3 is really the only reason. I don't want an Add-on on my 360, just like the stupid DVD add-on for the original XBOX.
