I find it hard to believe that anyone would be so stupid as to leave that kind of cash in a PayPal account. Blaming PayPal is like blaming fire when holding your hand in it burns you.

The brain IS the software. The error appears to be on your end, not bpp's.

You really are.

With pathetic dogs like you nipping at his heels.

I fear that if MS tried to write an OS from scratch, it would likely be a big step backwards, do less than what we're accustomed to now, and take years of incremental improvements to get back to where we are now. I don't see what you propose as being either viable or possible.

Windows Phone 7 tells me your fear is well-grounded.

Not just power. It's mounted in a DIMM socket. If your server has lots of DIMM slots and few drive slots this is ideal.

Love the ironic juxtaposition of your post and sig.

My impression is the embedded code is just enough to handshake (with encryption?) and provide data to the 360.

Articles give the impression that they initially put the smarts in Kinect, but moved it to the 360 hardware to reduce build cost.

is now the serpentarium.

I tried to look at a photo of someone who won a Governors office today via Google images. The site I landed on popped up the Firefox Flash update screen for a second, then asked to update Firefox from a .cc site, which I denied. Was I almost taken by this exploit, or am I being paranoid?

I agree that 360p sucks, but want to point out that since the show is letterboxed, 360p is very close to NTSC resolution. A few years ago we were all fine with that.

Of course their horizontal resolution could be a lot less than NTSC's 400ish dots.

It was a good character drama set on a rickety ship in a mostly low-tech setting.
It seems like your only complaint is they're not on a flashy ship having space battles. This appears to be a personal preference, rather than saying anything about the quality of the show

I was put off by the cowboys in space thing and didn't watch many episodes until it came out on DVD. Now that I've viewed the episodes in the correct order with an open mind, I love the show. Joss Whedon writes great dialog.
