Im seeing a problem with this. As most people aren't going to think to not test it over Wifi. Why would this be a problem? Wifi running at 54mbps is much slower than wired connections at 1gbps. Theyre not going to get accurate data unless people are taking advantage of all the fastest connections to the internet.

I tested this, over wifi, im only getting about 10% of my connection speed, while over ethernet, Im getting what I am paying for if not a bit higher

Do you have a strobe effect with your lights on normally? Im assuming this will be at a frequency higher than humans can perceive. Which doesnt require much above 60hz because thats what most lights operate at normally

I feel like this is an argument of which the labels were fighting. And now they are using it as an excuse. Contract law my friend, if it states the album cannot be partially distributed, tough shit EMI, it can't be distributed in pieces. I dont care if it is physical means or digital download, it is still being distributed, and being distributed in violation of contract.

PS3 was released Nov 11 2006. It missed the first even non-leap year. Did fine in 2008 (a leap year) and then had its issue during the next even non-leap year. I think itll do fine in 2 years.

Quote from Liberty Journal on Amazon re: Silicon Snake Oil

"Stoll, a Berkeley astronomer who chronicled how he broke a computer spy ring in The Cuckoo's Egg (LJ 9/15/89) and who has been netsurfing for 15 years, does an apparent about-face here, warning that the technophiles are trying to sell us a bill of goods on the promise of the Internet"

I dont think this was a tactic to help the internet develop

For someone with worthy experience to talk about the internet, Im quite surprised he wrote A) That article from 1995 and B) Silicon Snake Oil. His book The Cuckoo's Egg was excellent. I felt he had a firm grasp as to where the internet could go. I admired the guy for his work. I guess all those Berkeley kids aren't on top of their game. The guy _was_ an astronomer after all.

You do know the us government has been paying telcos to get the infrastructure in the ground for years. Into the trillions. Fibre to the home also. Obama's billions isnt going to change much. So yes, it does suck, and unless the telcos get off their asses and do the right thing and not the easy thing, it will continue to suck.

Good job not reading the article. The author specifically states that they are paid per view, not only clicks. If it were clicks, they wouldnt be making very much money anyway.

He also mentions that advertisers for tv are paying to reach a large guaranteed audience, websites can't guarantee an audience.

Sony has a little less than 4 years to figure out how to solve this. I pray they can do it in time. Meanwhile, my PS2 worked just fine.

What about ALL the outliers (ie 90% of slashdot)?
While growing up, I had videogames to play all the time. The only thing we weren't allowed to have was Mortal Kombat. I think it just wasn't appropriate for young kids because it was gory. We were allowed to play Street Fighter though, which wasnt graphic. From there I moved into Halflife, and Quake III, and Unreal Tournament and into Counter-Strike. Aggression has never been a problem for me, or all the kids I played these game with. I guess you could take some of our sick and twisted games as aggression. Sting Pong, Swords, Submission (two players grab arms, a belt is tied around their arms, no cheap shots, but what ever else it takes to get the other to submit) Night Tag... I dont think it was aggression, I think it was just a bunch of kids with a lot of time on their hands and a high tolerance for pain.
Aside from our games, i think I turned out pretty well.

This is just wrong.

It was commissioned by Congress. "Management of the memorial was turned over to the National Park Service, under its National Mall and Memorial Parks group. As with all National Park Service historic areas, the memorial was administratively listed on the National Register of Historic Places on the day of its dedication." (wikipedia)

I think, as the piece being commissioned by congress and the managing body by the US Park Service, the artist can go fuck himself. As an artist my self, Im possessive of my own works, but this is wrong. As a photographer, I am allowed to take someone else's work and duplicate the scene and photograph it. This is so long as I am not taking the image of their creation and claiming it to be my own. If I put the effort into it to duplicate it, and take the exact same photo, and can prove I did all that, Im in the clear. Taking a picture of a publicly commissioned art piece is my own work. Also, If I had art that was to be commissioned by congress, I wouldnt throw a hissy fit over what the government wanted to do. Theyre not even making money off it. What the hell is this guy's problem. He is known as the creator, that should be plenty enough.

I wasn't posting looking for a solution. I was simply trying to say that Eidos created a port and didnt care to do anything to support the product, which is what the original post was about.

I own the PSX version, non greatest hits and can play that any time I want. The game is currently being sold at second hand shops for $50+. Unless you can get the game off someone who doesn't know its current price, you wont find it very cheap.

The fact that it would crash at the required Golden Saucer chocobo race in windows newer than 98. Also the fact that Eidos didnt give a rats ass to provide a patch for it.

Ive been seeing those things almost everywhere now. You type in a pin number and put your hand in the machine. Most of the time its right hand down, one company I worked for said someone asked what if you dont have a right hand. It works just the same left hand up.
This was in a hotel. I just saw one at the library the other day. Im pretty sure it isnt about your finger prints, but the shape and contours of your hand in combination with your pin.

Its not like you can hide much from the government, its a Federal Work Study job.

I wonder how much condensation has to do with it.
Its freezing here in chicago and walking from the bus to the lincoln park conservatory, my camera gets cold enough that it instantly condenses when i get inside the conservatory.

When changing temperatures that drastically, I cant help but wonder the non liquid stress those indicators get
