I'm glad I didn't have to upgrade after all. The pandora is a really good device. I wish there was a media player that did everything I wanted, but the emulator performance has been pretty good for the games I've tried. Wesnoth and Open Tyrian work perfectly and deadbeef is good enough on the...

I was in 800-900 range and am pending confirmation of shipping. I am hoping I'll hear something during next week.

Honestly this whole situation makes me regret that I didn't take the damn day off 2 years ago. It ended up making such a difference in timeline for people who ordered just a few hours before I did. Of course, I wouldn't want to be at the very front of the line either, but somewhere in the...

Proof of this conspiracy? If the politicians have little power why aren't they saying so? All of them are "in on it" as soon as they are elected? I'm not against conspiracy theories, I'm probably a believer in them if anyone is, but I need more than your posturing and I have to believe on the...

I agree with you, but not for your reasons. A lot of Americans now involved in the military would get out of the military with less need for it (I'm not for just getting out of the 2 wars, but removing the bases abroad that do nothing for us but drain our coffers). Initially, this lower size...

Kicker, thanks for the reply. It was my intention to get you to elaborate a bit, because your words were such that you felt you were so absolutely right, but didn't explain why. I have a better understanding of the why now (you feel history, current history even, gives credence to your view in...

If you were seeking to use trite one-liners to undermine any trust that people have in your ability to produce a cogent argument, then mission accomplished.

Good start, lets see what "a good deal" means... Ok... now you just lost me. So capitalism which is fundamentally about trade between parties agreeing on something to their mutual benefit and not based on coercion is now in support of slavery, a system that forced people to work for nothing...

Personally I find it refreshing and honest, as opposed to the pretense most offer.

So every bestselling book is undisputed in accuracy?

Way to take the high road in trying to belittle me. You pretty much completely ignore something called "per capita" but.. then the "little" details like that may not come your way too often. I won't get into slavery because that is going nowhere but flame-bait regardless of what I say, but I'd...

Fixed that for you. :)

I'm ignorant of a lot of things. But, I think that world history has provided substantial evidence that most societies that do well start off by developing economically before they start implementing ideas of additional "rights" (most of which I agree are good things to have, though not...

It's better than having no work at all and dying of starvation. Rome wasn't built in a day, and societies don't start off development as perfect socialist utopias. No matter how you look at it the Chinese are much better off now than they were in the not so far off past. I don't support...

It's as likely as there is a developer interested in doing it. Those who have fun doing emulation programming are not the same as those who have fun doing netcode or user interface programming. (As someone who used to work on scripting for Neverwinter Nights and who uses vba/vbs & SQL a lot at...

I don't think that the "theft protection" need be foolproof. Even if something as simple as removing the card would defeat it, the point is to convince a person picking it up that it won't work for them at the outset. Once they show determination by taking it and looking into how to break the...

I just didn't let my left handed sister learn to use the mouse left handed. It was for everyone's good including hers. People who have to do everything left handed are hurting themselves later on when they have to use right handed tools, etc. It's better just to learn to deal with being the...

This isn't really accurate for everything though. Check out a blu-ray rip of an anime, for example. Those 720p or 1080p rips look fantastic at just 300 mb (22 minute episodes). It's much nicer looking than a comparable 480p rip at 200 mb. Even at 200 mb the higher quality source will usually...

I'm fairly certain HD out is impossible, so you probably dreamed it.

I use my garmin with Viking and it's a pretty good setup for analyzing trips and so on, but since the garmin is standalone it does the turn-by-turn bit.
