Yes, well, here in Mexico we enjoy a nearly 100% markup over US prices (the Wii is US $470 and Wii Fit will run you US $150). And indeed you can see mountains of boxes in stores, even walmart stocks tons of wiifits and wiis. So while a lot of them will languish for a while on the shelf, Nintendo knows that those who sell will give them a really huge profit. By ignoring the economic reality of the country, where a cheaper console would indeed move a larger number of unis, they maximize their profit by catering to those who would indeed pay those sums for the console. Sadly that excludes about 98% of the population.
Will users adopt this, or is it easy enough to simply host an additional file? Well duh, it's dead easy for me to just host another file, so easy in fact that web frameworks usually do it for you by default, but that's missing the point: the point is that for the end-user it would be better, faster and more efficient if I went to the trouble of using google's hosted version, instead of using my local copy. That, indeed, would be more work for me, but it benefits the end user.
I don't remember when I got my PictureBook (very first model, PII based, 200 or 400 MHz, not sure, it's a C1XD) but it browses the current Web just fine. I tried it just a couple months ago. So, you're posting now because it just finished rendering that page??:P
So, back when Windows had lame numbered version numbers (Win95, NT 4.0) it had jazzy codenames like Chicago, Cairo and whatnot. Now, that the official releases have jazzy official names (Vista, XP, whatnot) codenames have turned into... WINDOWS 7? so what gives?
The one thing I wish I didn't have to do is write all those "end" statements -- it's not DRY, I'm already indenting anyway. So ditch rails and use Django under Python. It's a matter of preference; I find indent-based parsers to be way too anal, and I don't mind writing the "end"s. That, for instance, is one of the things I don't love about haml.
On second thought, textmate *can* insert the end statements for you. Your editor should be able to, as well.
great so now all the "early" (2 years+) adopters got screwed, paying more for a lousy product to begin with. I wonder if they'll give a credit to those early adopters, like Apple did when they lowered the price for the iPhone.
Dude, gusanito means literally "little worm"; I personally would never open an email saying "hey, you got a postcard from a little worm!". I don't know who would...
It looks as if this guy believes the judge plainly shouldn't have ruled on the issues he did. I think he should put his money where his mouth is and, pro-bono, file an appeal on SCO's behalf reverting Kimball's decision and repeating the entire 5-year process. My guess is he won't; a good way to generate buzz about your writings is to be on the opposing side of a losing argument, and doing your best to confound things and give reasonings as to why everybody else (against SCO) is wrong. I believe this behavior is known in certain circles as "trolling". That, folks, is why everybody hates lawyers; they just complicate things and can make a problem many times worse, all while taking 5 years to do it.
3. It is shielded against the bites of pets (real problem for many people, my father's birds cut through several extension cords, luckily the birds lived.)
I have a US $150 21-feet HDMI cable. Thick as a hose and about as hard as one. My pet still poses a problem; the darling is a 110-pound great dane and has already chewed her way through 2 ipods and 4 phones. Mind you, one of the 'pods was a 1st-gen mini, sturdy aluminum, and it still ended up, well, like someone chewed it. So no way I'm letting the pets anywhere near the cables.
So, which pet you have definitely plays a role in how sturdy your cabling needs to be (steel ducts anyone?)
Does anyone else read " It is simply this: I got it wrong. The nerds got it right" like a high-school jock saying "damn nerd beat me again"?
Mr. Lyons, let's rephrase it to say "I fucked up big time; and everyone else with half a brain COULD see the facts but I couldn't".
Also, downplaying the fact that the journalist made a huge mistake by saying "I got it wrong, big deal", is in itself a tremendous blunder; as someone whose most valuable skill is his reliability, knowing that he fucked up big time in something so obvious should ring sirens for anyone currently paying this guy money to write.
Well, the Foleo compares UNfavorably to my 10-year-old Toshiba Portege; it's also only slightly smaller than my current notebook computer. So I'd rather carry a full computer around; specially if it's the same weight-wise.
Palm decided to throw all their weight and resources behind the Treo line, and thus rendered themselves irrelevant in the PDA business, leaving a lot of users without any clear upgrade path (my T3 starts to show its age and it lacks all sorts of connectivity). Also they have slept in their laurels and have a last-century operating system that's hopelessly out of league with any other smartphone or PDA device out there. I have zero faith in them now, and while I'll be in the market for a smartphone in the next couple of years, it sure as hell will not be a Palm device; while I hope my T3 survives that long, should it fail, I'll just stop using a PDA altogether, Palm's current offerings really are *that* bad and Foleo was only an indication that they're not about to improve.
It looks like the magazine's parent company, CMP media, has little faith in paper publications, preferring to focus their efforts on online material. However they are following this trend in a manner that hurts publications with real followings and a lot of history. Before sysadmin, it was the Perl Journal and venerable BYTE magazine that got the axe; I was particularly irked by Byte because it happened 4 months after I subscribed.
Someone from CMP did contact me about my problems when I complained (here on Slashdot, of all places!) and I realize that there are people within the company who really care about their customers and want to keep us satisfied. However it's obvious that someone up high, making the decisions, is making them with the sole intent of increasing profit, not pleasing customers. It's a business; they're entitled, but they should consider the "political" cost of taking measures such as axing established and very reputable publications.
website owners have a right to place whatever they want on their pages.
I have a right to display what I choose, of that website, on *my* computer. The computer is mine, belongs to me and my rights over it can't be alienated just because.
The website owner, of course, has a right to say "if you won't see my ads, then you can't visit my website".
This much is clear.
What they absolutely cannot do is call us who exercise the right to choose what we read, "thieves".
They are free to express themselves; and they are free to *not* direct their communications to me. They are *not* free, however, to force me to receive any kind of information. That's where freedom of speech finishes. You have a right to say whatever you want; I have a right to *not* listen to what you're saying.
I can't speak for you or the grandparent post's author, but I like to leave the house occasionally. A laptop is a good decision for people who occasionally stand, walk, or otherwise engage in self-locomotion.
So, if you like to leave the house and be outdoors, WHY ON EARTH ARE YOU TAKING YOUR GAMING LAPTOP WITH YOU? For god's sake man, unglue yourself from the machine!
Let's rig the detonator so it holds off until it *loses* cellular signal before detonating the bomb. That way it's even easier, explosives can be planted well in advance and by the time the motorcade passes near them, the perpetrator is well on his way back home.
DUDE!! take a look at GnuDIP. It's do-it-yourself GPL and free Dynamic DNS system. It interfaces with a standard BIND installation so you basically register a domain, then add hosts to your domain, and they can automatically update from a client installed on remote equipment. Give it a try. http://gnudip2.sourceforge.net/

Nothing's so smiple that it can't be screwed up.

not pretty either way.

No 900/1800 GSM. Slow GPRS. No user-installable applications. Lame.
At least it has wireless!

And with 2 GB of storage space, it's now even better. Where's WinLiveHotmailFS?
