Seriously, we dont all pay the same for electricity as you.

If I had to run a 60" Plasma 24/7, it would be $1095/year

I had the same plans when I bought my Pi. But along the way I found out that there was a bit cutier gadget with better hardware for XBMC, but in general for other programmed stuff too.

The MK 802 series (there is I, II and III models), UG802, GK802 etc. There are the size of a bigger USB stick, contains HDMI, WLAN, flash, more RAM than Pi, higher clocked and dual/quad core CPU than Pi and some even bluetooth.

Costs a bit more, can run Android and XBMC from there, though not all got direct hardware codec support yet.

It would start make you understand the nutritions listed back of every food/beverage product you buy. These are listed in grams, but hence you still think and use, tea-/tablespoons, cups and ounces.

Really sounds more like a linux world, whereas in Linux people would say "I downloaded this media player and it will not install..." Was it for Debian, Ubunutu, Red Hat and so on.

Now it would be "I have downloaded Angry birds for Windows, and it will not run?" "Are you using ARM or..........the other one?"

If you were Bin Laden on a "holy war" against US, would you trust an anonymity network originally sponsored by the US Military?

I have said it for years, and yet ISPs/Blizzard only learn by doing.

Bittorrent != Piracy. It is used by applications for distributing e.g. updates or games in Steam-like services.

So what does Blizzard have to learn? That they kept on using bittorrent for distributing updates, knowingly ISPs would block or throttle the bandwidth for it.
However I still praise Blizzard for using bittorrent, to fight the consensus that bittorrent is equal to piracy.

This law has been in effect in Denmark over several years now. And even when it is the law several ISPs does not log this information, simply because of the costs.

So maybe ISPs or justice department should put some more work into, what if an ISP does not comply with the law, what should then happen, a fine, cease and desist or.....?

Bahhh double post, because someone (myself) ticked anonymous. Move along, nothing to see here.

This news is at least 5 years old.

Back in 2004/2005, Kevin Rose demonstrated the use of gummy bears to cheat fingerprint scanners on the TV show "The Screensavers" (today called "Attack of the Show"). And my guess that this trick was known even before then.

Try inSSIDer which also can show you some of the non-broadcasting networks.

But nevertheless the true tool would be a spectrum analyzer, Metageek sells some cheap ones.

And think about moving to 5Ghz.
Wireless intereference is not something new, and 2.4Ghz aint just big enough, especially not in apartments complexes, and equipment broadcasting at full power.

What I do not get from Thinkgeek's outlay of the situation.

NPB owns the trademark "The Other White Meat". However ThinkGeek refers to "The New White Meat".

"The Other White meat sentence are used by Facebook and TheFrisky.

I'll be asking GameStop the very same thing. GameStop sold me the old console september last year, when the Slim model had just hit the shelves. GameStop advertised in the window "Get the old PS3 while in stock" reffering to the missing features and components from the new slim model.

Now I have a PS3 that is more or less equal to a slim model, which even was cheaper back then.

As said before in other threads, PS3 slim never had the Other OS function, so the argument of Sony adds money for every console does not stick.

The sympathy probably ran off with time when everyday you are threathened by danger of getting killed by similar looking people.

I sat with your feeling towards the soldiers, simply acting like young teenagers playing a computer game.

But the other way around is that many of these troops are in fact young individuals, who are under intense psychological pressure, where teammates have been killed, and every day is a battle to stay alive when faced with a hostile enemy.

We, as third party viewers to the video clip, only feel bad because this was mostly innocent people (not knowing persona of all killed). If all the people shot in this video was the enemy, then the line of comments would not have been that long.
And if the people in the video had been reversed, meaning taliban flying a helicopter shooting at american tourists, which taliban believed was american soldiers, the video would probably not have gained that much publicity, it would just been archived as another terrorist attack.
